If there was one pair of designer shoes I’d be prepared to save up for, it would be the Loeffler Randall Camellia heels (and maybe some Gucci loafers, if I dared step into Bicester Village). Fashion Editor Krissy has assured that they are the comfiest wedding guest heels around and she’s worn her pair countless times, so I just know they would be a solid investment.
However, I can’t help but think there must be some good dupes around. How could high street brands resist the opportunity to put their own spin on pretty heels with bows, ruffles and plissé effects? It’s a perfect recipe for occasion and wedding guest shoes.

What I’ve discovered is the best Loeffler Randall dupes on the high street are like gold dust. One rainy day they’re there, shimmering away and winking at you, the next sunny day the week before a wedding, when you’re desperately trying to find a perfect pair of heels with next-day delivery, they’ve vanished. So if you need a sign to invest in a gorgeous pair of comfortable heels – you’ll actually wear throughout the year – this is it.
