Online Sale Alert! Shoe Crazy at J.Crew's Final Sale
I'm always a sucker for a J.Crew shoe — the classic construction and luxe details have made me a die-hard fan. The only thing that could prevent a full-blown shopping frenzy are the price tags. Fortunately for me — and you — J.Crew's final sale is loaded with tons of Fab footwear.
Do You Wear Heels to Feel More Professional?
Do You Wear Heels to Feel More Professional?
Absolutely
Sometimes
No, I always wear flats
Found: Diane Kruger's Venice Festival Heels
Diane Kruger appeared at Venice Film Festival last week as she promoted her latest movie Mr. Nobody. She wore one of my favourite ensembles of the festival teaming a gorgeous Christopher Kane frock with some killer heels. The black suede ankle boots are part of Yves Saint Laurent's Autumn collection and are aptly named Divine ($895, about £540).
Do You Wear High Heels?
An outfit often isn't complete without a stunning pair of high heels. They're feminine, fun, and sexy, but the dazzle they add to your ensemble also comes with a price. High heels are linked to many health issues including shortened Achilles tendons and calf muscles, hammertoes, bunions, corns, ingrown toenails, posture issues, back and neck pain.
Found: Cheryl Cole's Heels
The last series of X Factor saw me paying more attention to Cheryl Cole's wardrobe than any of the acts. She worked her way through a wardrobe of Matthew Williamson and Julien Macdonald which left many viewers green with envy. The new season hasn't started yet, but Dannii and Cheryl have already been busy at auditions and the Girls Aloud singer's wardrobe has not disappointed!
Celebrity Style: Everyone's Wearing Louboutin's Differa Heels
Christian Louboutin has been on speed dial for glamorous red carpet events for several seasons. His sexy heels have adorned the feet of many leading ladies, but this season it's a key pair of his shoes which have been popular on both sides of the Atlantic. The Differa (£755) first landed on my radar when Heidi Klum wore them to the Golden Globes at the start of the year.
Look for Less: Balmain Studded Sandals
This season everyone has fallen for Christophe Decarnin's designing charm. His rock chick pieces have influenced many, but with jeans for around £1000, not everyone can afford the real thing.
These Balmain studded and crystal sandals ($2,300) have been particularly popular despite the price tag.
Trend Alert: Peep Toe Bow Heels
Earlier this year I told you that bows were all over the catwalks for Spring, and now the trend has filtered down to the High Street. Minnie Mouse style bows are adorning peep toe shoes for the warmer months creating very girly footwear.
This curf pair (£60) from Faith are my current favourite.
Trend Alert: Studded Sandals
Gladiator sandals have taken a step up this season as they're higher than ever and adorned with studs to give a rock chick edge.
High end designers like Louis Vuitton and Jimmy Choo have led the way with this trend as platform shoes are accessorised with tassels, metallic detailing, buckles and back zips.
River Island have a great take on this style with these tassle front gladiator sandals (£69.99).
Can Heels be Too High?
Earlier this week Beyonce Knowles stepped out in some fierce heels! They were so high, although had a platform which surely made them more comfortable. This got me thinking about sky high shoes and wondering, can heels be too high?
