Stilettogirl

I’ve seen kids sneakers lighting up when they take a step by using kinetic energy. Seems like te idea has grown up now and transferred into high heels also. Might be handy at a club.

Why does this kind of designs pop up every season? It brings confusion. Is it a sandal? Is it a boot? Is it a boot pretending to be sandal? Or is it a sandal pretending to be a boot? Too many questions for such a thing. It’s not worth it.

Costume National Cut out Boot available at luisaviaroma.com (€ 533).

Spring is on it’s way, but right now it’s (too) cold. Boots are still very essential. These Bebe Vendela Denim Over-The-Knee Boot is like a skinny jeans, with a 5.25 inch (13 cm) high heel and a 1 inch (2,5 cm) platform. That would definetly keep you warm.

Thanks Erika for the suggestion!

Something different this time. Just a few facts about high heeled shoes.

• High heels are guaranteed to boost your confidence and height and they will definitely make that ‘OK’ outfit look just ‘perfect’.
• On average, women begin wearing heels at age 12 and continue doing so until they’re 63 years of age.
• The Guinness World Record for most people running in high heeled shoes is 155.
• Altocalciphilia is the condition of having a high heel fetish. Carrie Bradshaw had a borderline case of altocalciphilia.
• High heels for women are believed to have originated with Catherine de Medici. She wanted to make a bigger impression when she arrived in France to marry the future King Henry.
• Roger-Henri Vivier is credited with (re-)inventing the stiletto heel in the 1950s.

• Approximately 80 craftsmen will touch one pair of Stuart Weitzman heels during the 6 to 7 weeks of production time it takes to make them.

Compared to the previous creation I’ve seen from Camilla Skovgaard this is an improvement. A great improvement in fact. But oops… Somewhere down the designroad she got out of control with the platform on these pumps. At first too high I guess and when trying to scrape off a bit, she has used a saw. The result… Well, make your own verdict. I made mine.
