So, you’ve got the dress, you’ve got the ultimate bag but, after pounding the high street, you still can’t find the shoes to match. Enter upperstreet.com a new online shopping service where you can get creative and create your own pair of bespoke killer heels. Perfect for any outfit or event (there’s even a wedding shoe section for the ultimate bridal pair).

The 3-D site allows women to design their own unique, handmade shoes. Shoe lovers first choose from a myriad of style combinations. Sandals or pointed courts? Wedges or strappy numbers? Once that has been decided, users then select what material and colours they’d like the shoe in.

There’s a huge choice - suede, leather, satin, snakeskin, ponyskin and you can even have a combination of your favourites. Colour choice is endless with some must-have options (silver snakeskin, purple ponyskin are covetable). It doesn’t stop there — embellishments, such as studs or Swarovski crystals, can also be added for extra glam-factor, resulting in the total bespoke shoe. The interactive site is easy to use and practical — with the shoe rotating so you can have multi-dimensional views and an option to build a library of your designs. The only downside? Procrastinators stay away. Upperstreet.com
