Now where did I read that 2013 is the year for the return of the single-sole heels? (ie, no more death-defying, 'mine's-bigger-than-yours' platforms). I see that kitten heels are also a big feature again this S/S, so I'm off to ransack the back of my wardrobe again as I'm sure I've kept plenty from previous seasons.
So, in respect of the single-sole heels, I have been spying them left right & centre on the pages of magazines. The celebs are LOVING them, and so am I. My ultimate, 'carte-blanche budget' pair would be a Christian Louboutin Pigalle, but of course that's living in a dreamworld. *sighs*. I would, of course, ensure I'd maximise my cost-per-wear ratio (I'm thinking school-runs, grocery shopping, library, toddler-group etc.):
Although perhaps Heidi Montag here is taking it a slight (teetering) step too far, what do you think:
Anyway, so I've been stalking the High Street, and have come up with a few alternatives that might make the grade (and a few curve-balls that I just couldn't resist). Perhaps a few will put a twinkle in your eye too:
Clockwise from top left:
Asos Pixel heels £40
Christian Louboutin Pigalle Spikes £735 at Net-A-Porter
Dune Addict heels £85

They look lovely ... but painful. I hope the 2013 versions have a little inner padding to help us along. I tried on some bottle green leather sky scraper heels (single sole) yesterday - I liked them a lot but couldn't walk far in them and so I put them back. In the old days, I would have just got them and grimaced. But I am soft. Motherhood and flats do that to you.
ReplyDeleteYes, now that you mention it, you've got a good point! Maybe it's no coincidence that the kitten heel is back too. Have we wised up do you think?!
DeletePerhaps before I splash out, I will try on my old neon-green (!!) stilettos, to see if they're walkable or not. I can probably manage the heel-height, but I'm not sure I could manage the colour nowadays!
I wonder which one of us will crack it first with a comfortable AND fierce pair......? Is the challenge set?
