Yesterday, inexplicably, I was exiled into shoe hell. I can tell you, it’s not a nice place to be! Let me tell you how it all started. It started yesterday. There I was, innocently going about my business then BAM! Ashish x Topshop wedges enter my stream of consciousness. I’m not sure what triggered them but suddenly everything made sense, it was a moment of clarity. If I had the zebra print (or even leopard print) wedges, my entire wardrobe would just ‘go’ together, amazing combinations I never thought possible would look effortlessly amazing together. They were like the missing piece of the jigsaw.
Of course, I know they are a year old, but I tried them on every so often, the last time was a couple of months ago. However, a quick 10 minute search on Topshop.com and Google turned into 45 minutes spent scouring the entire Internet to no avail. Well, apart from a soul-less eBayer selling them for more than double the retail price!
And so I entered shoe hell – needing/wanting/craving shoes which I had absolutely no way of getting. Never one to give up easily, I carried on searching for the wedges but also searched for a suitable replacement. Office, Dune, Topshop and Asos were no use. But good old Kurt Geiger, well Carvela, came good in the end. What do you think of these? Close but no cigar? A good close second?

Amazingness…I remember drooling over the leopard print ones when I saw them in Toppers a while back! So fierce…you have rekindled my love for them :)xxx
the ashish are amazing, but as you say at the moment the ones on ebay are ridonculously expensive. i'd say get the carvela and keep your eyes peeled for the ashish- they will pop up somewhere for a decent price eventually! hope you can bear the wait!
I've been there. :/
I love the blue wedges but if it's the Ashish that you want, keep stalking it on eBay. It will turn up at a better price, most likely.
Aw sorry to hear =( I actually like the alternative pair better though…
OMG! aren't these wedges just awesome 🙂 heart heart 🙂
I love that kind of shoes!!!!!!! they are spechless!! (L)(L)
Omg i love those i leoperd, so hot:)
Personally I prefer the blue ones! Except I nearly broke my neck when I fell off my wedge earlier so I'm feeling a little scared to get back on.

Not nearly close enough, the full wedge look is better – sigh, I am sad for you, deeply. Good luck on your hunt!Libbyhttp://fashionableflowerchild@gmail.com
I don't think my comment went through, but I said not nearly close enough, they aren't full wedges. Good luck!Libbyhttp://fashionableflowerchild@gmail.com
Whoops got my link wrong. Here is the right one, sorry!Libbyhttp://fashionconfectionairy.weebly.com
I like the leopard wedges more than the Kurt Geiger's actually.Maybe you have to wait for the leopards a bit. Eventually you will find a pair at a reasonable price!
Such amazing shoes!Love them all!xoxox,CC
a close second! love the colour of them but i have to say im still lusting over the leapord print topshop ones.. sigh… lolvicki xo
With shoes you must always go by your heart. I did so too. So go for it girl!juliet xxx
I like the blue ones the best actually!
Love the blue ones but you would so suit the Ashish ones! Keep on looking lady!
I know how you feel, I had the same problems with some Emma Cook wedges from Topshop. My problem, I look at them, lust after them, but never get round to buying them. Then suddenly I decide I must have them but they have all gone.
Oh damn I love wedges! They look so great! I need one too. Haha. Good luck on your hunt dear! xoxoxo
Aaaah these are gorgeous!! xxxx
The blue ones are close but…not quite. Dear God. Those animal print wedges… swoon… [faint]. They were sold out within minutes last year yes?Keep looking, hope you find a pair and then please post photos so we can drool and covet!theDUSKzone
The leopard print, my darling, DEFO! The blue ones are cool on their own.. but there ain't nothing like those prints, right! Still, be sensible and check your pockets first:)
Those blue wedges are amazing! I'm on a wedge hunt as well…can't enjoy summer without pretty wedges :-)Hope you're having a wonderful weekend my dear friend. Cheers: Evi
