Nice But Not So Naughty
The Finsk shoes at Topshop are indeed lovely aren't they? But they don't suit everyone's budget, let's be honest. However, and I'm sorry to say this is applicable to UK peeps only, but Office have a rather nice shoe which I've been eyeing for quite some time, that has a similar architectural spin as the Finsk shoes.
Made from suede and leather, they have eyelets (very Givenchy) which has a lace threaded through it. It's these little details that make these shoes quite special, and the £65 price means they're not quite as naughty as the Finsk shoes.
On side note - whenever you see text in bold and purple that's a link. I get a sense not everyone realises that we put links in the posts wherever possible. I just hate underlined links.

Cute! I love the colour combo and the eyelets are gorgeous!

Thank you soooooo much. I'll be coming to London next month, and I think those will be my "splurge" purchase (again, due to the crappy CDN dollar, the price doubles for me). boo. But I think they are so worth it!

I think I might like this shoe better than the Finsk. I certainly didn't approve the price of the Finsk, not with our crumbling American dollar (last seen hobbling about England with broken ankles).
I like that this is part bootie, part shoe, but what really makes this one for me is the semi-industrial lacing that removes the shoe from delicacy and makes it a bit rugged.

Beautiful. I wish I had more access to UK shoes.

i like! but i feel i am too wedded to the big stompy high heel right now.
excellent tip for those who can't stretch their finances to the finsk, myself included.
