When I say highs, I mean nice weather and my favourite new person in the world, who for arguments sake we can call Albert, saving my headphones from being mercilessly chewed up and spat out by the escalator at Oxford Circus station. Somewhat ironically, the low of my day also took place at Oxford Circus station five hours later. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Had it not been for the fact that I went through this episode of public humiliation with someone who makes me laugh on a daily basis and for the fact that it was admittedly hilarious; I probably would have joined the 7yr old I’d seen earlier crying hysterically in Boots. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Now, I don’t know if you’ve ever taken part in the epic battle of Oxford Circus at rush hour but it makes crossing Middle Earth look like an afternoon at the Wacky Warehouse. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Basically I had a shoe, well, boot related nightmare.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m pretty sure everyone has a pair of shoes they just can’t face throwing away. I’m prone to hanging on to things other people would have let go of years ago. The people closest to me will be reading this and imagining a certain blue jacket. Today I was wearing a pair of boots which I have already had repaired once when the heel snapped off. Today, not only did the repaired heel snap off, but both heels snapped off …as I was walking down the stairs into the station surrounded by an obscene amount of people which of course resulted in me falling, well I prefer to think surfing, dramatically down god knows how many steps. My life flashed before my eyes. That was it. The last thing I would see would be the student dressed in a Dalmatian costume shaking a bucket of change in the face of irritated commuters. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Thankfully my friend’s spiderman-like reflexes kicked in and she saved me before I hit the floor. I wish I could say that was the end of it. After approximately 6 minutes of hysterical laughter from my friend and myself, as if the stair surfing hadn’t drawn attention to me already, the realisation that I had both heels hanging off my shoes and was beginning to resemble a homeless child from a Charles Dickens story set in. There was only one option…rip them off completely. I looked at my friend in between outbursts, got serious and told her “ok. Just do it”. Five minutes later after fits of laughter, my friend putting all her weight on my heel and me trying to rip off the heel in a deranged kicking motion I was left standing in the middle of Oxford Circus station with the prospect of the journey home with heel-less boots. Oh yes, socks on show and everything. The biggest laughs came from the Lenny Henry look-a-like tramp singing extremist songs pointing out that I’d broken my shoe a bit. If only Albert had been there. Highs and lows people, highs and lows.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><br />

Nonetheless, not being one to do things half heartedly I'm going to go to town with this particular characteristic and when better to make it known than the 'happiest time of the year'. And by that ridiculously irritating not to mention inaccurate slogan, I mean Chritmas. Here we are again in mid-November and every child old enough to write is asking a fat man they know from the Coke advert for an iPad and every single female over a certain age is holding out for Graham from Accounts to confess his love at the office party. So he's losing his hair, whatever, the prospect of being alone during the limbo land of Christmas and New Year is scarier than his collection of Star Wars figurines. <br />
<br />
However, true to form yet unfaithful to the pure definition of cynicism I propose one of the few if not the only saving grace of this stressful, overwhelming (or underwhelming, if you don't get the Scrubs boxset you asked for), and overrated time of year. The shoes. That ' 5-day LBD diet' you ripped out of Glamour and stuck on the fridge isn't going to turn you into Nicole Scherzinger and after several Quality Street induced comas, the likelyhood of that is slipping away faster than the bottle of Baileys you bought 'just in case'. But your shoes don't care. They will look as good as when you first tried them on and give you something to hold on to during the mid-January downer. Lets be honest, no-ones Christmas 'diary' is as packed and festive as almost every magazine and advert likes to make out. "No my only plans are NOT my mum's uncle's annual cold buffet trying to keep the conversation to the most mundane topics to avoid a domestic....I've got that er, drinks thing." <br />
<br />
I don't need an excuse, you don't need an excuse and yet, unless your surname is Ecclestone, you always have to justify a purchase. Which is why, you should feel no guilt in buying a, if not all, of the following. Because, repeat after me: "It's Christmas."<br />

Its gross its annoying, it grinds my gears. Thanks to people in London being allergic to throwing their chewing gum away, it has happened to me a lot. However, Kobi Levi has taken it to another level and made a bad thing good, in a 'If life gives you lemons, make lemonade' sort of way, just that this makes you think 'eww' a little bit. But then you get over it and appreciate that it might actually be genius. These shoes make me want to burst into song with a cover of My Sticky Shoes by Pheobe Buffay although wearing a pair of these, you probably don't need to burst into spontaneous song to get attention. <br />

To be honest I thought he was beginning to lose his edge and yes I did get the guilt for thinking this, it was quite confusing and I had to have a quiet word with myself as it was bordering on blasphemy or treason or something along those lines in my bubble of a world. When I first saw the pictures of the new creations I thought I was having an delayed attack of sun stroke from three days ago when I thought the only logical thing to do was to lie in the 30C sun and not move for 3 hours (it wasn't a good look). But no, the picture is not distorted in any way or a figment of Natalie Portman's warped Black Swan mind.<br />
<br />
They are infact vertigo inducing 8-inch heeled silk and Swarowski encrusted ballet slippers finished perfectly with of course, the red sole which are to be auctioned off to raise funds for the English National Ballet. Unlucky Natalie. Personally I am more for Mila Kunis, she does not look like a potential serial killer unlike Natalie who just because she starred in a slightly above average romcom with Ashton Kutcher thinks I'll forget she is psychotic. Or a good actress.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately if you were now hoping to get your hands on the worlds most inappropriate ballet shoes or thinking you actually stood half a chance well, you don't. The auction which comprised of a lot of unique items from designers including Moschino, Erdem and Julien Macdonald closed at 22:30 tonight. Louboutin explained "I could not help being inspired by English National Ballet, after all, isn't the classical dancing ballet slipper the ultimate heel?" er....well no. It is not a heel at all, the fact that it is a slipper makes it basically the furthest thing from a heel you could find, but please, carry on. "The heel which makes dancers closer than any other women to the sky, closer to heaven!" Ok, I love his shoes but now he's treading on thin 'I have visions when I sleep Lady Gaga' ice.<br />

Personally I could not care less who started the red sole, lets be honest no one would be looking at the soles when you're wearing a pair of spike encrusted Bridget Louboutins'. There has obviously been pressure in the Louboutin camp to come up with a unique campaign in order to firmly hold on to its' place as the master of high fashion shoe designers. The campaign is centred around recreations of reneissance and impressionist art incorporating a model from the Fall 2012 collection. François Clouet, Georges de la Tour, Jean-Marc Nattier and Francisco De Zurbaran are several of the artists whose iconic works of art have been incorporated into the undeniably memorable campaign.<br />
<br />
The combination of the statement shoes with the equally beautiful masterpieces seems only appropriate considering Louboutins' creations have often been reffered to as masterpieces their own right. Mostly by me. However, I am the first to admit that some of the models from the collection are not at all striking and as much as I want to love them, they just seem too 'try hard'. The Puk boot is the perfect example. I don't care if you're Kim Kardashian, Cameron Diaz or Daphne Guinness if you wear these you are going to resemble a half human half farm animal creature from a poor but big budget remake. A bit like Pierce Brosnan in Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief. Do not watch that film. Glad I didn't...<br />
<br />
One of the most striking images from campaign is the recreation of James McNeil Whistlers' 'Mother in an Allegory' in which the subject is seen holding The Tootsie boot in the plam of her hand. My favourite image though is the recreation of a masterpiece by Francisco De Zurbaran where the protagonist is looking at that shoe with the same longing expression I had when I walked into Selfridges two weeks ago and left with clinical depression. A beautiful and elegant campaign for beautiful and elegant shoes, perhaps this will calm the storm of the impending fall from grace which loomed for Louboutin.<br />

If you can call it that, even SuperWedge seems tame for this shoe. Senso have created the ultimate wedge heel taking it beyond any extremes previously attempted. Not only is the black leather vertigo enducing heel embellished with silver studs, the shoe itself is draped with black stretch chiffon. Stunning. Wear at your own risk, she shoe dares wins, ladies.<br />

Obviously you start with the standard 'WTF' and 'FAIL' pictures, cats with ironic captions, demotivational posters etc. But then, you come accross something that makes you forget that picture of the dog with a party hat on forever. This has just happened to me. My first reaction when I saw the following shoes was to instantly think of the Family Guy sketch where Peter Griffin gets acrylic nails "Oh heeey Larhonda, I got four people on hold but sure, I can talk." (youtube it). While I can not think of a single person: celebrity or human, who could pull these off without being plastered all over the 'Fashion disasters' page of all the weekly magazines, I can not help but like them in a weird way. I have not been able to find out who is responsible for this hot mess, or if they actually have anything to do with Nike Air Jordans, the classic shoes which they have been adapted from. If they are from Nike, which I highly doubt as there is not mention of them on their website and they are only for sale on websites with names like 'dunkheelsforyou.com', I would be impressed at them taking a risk. A stupid risk, but a risk nonetheless. Obviously they are a niche market, and could very easily fall into gimmick territory along the lines of Heelies...definitely did not own a pair which I saved up for when I was 11. But there must be a market for them as they are easy to get online.<br />

I have a ridiculously clear mental image in my head of one of those couples who mirror each others style. You know what I mean, the couple walking around town on a Saturday afternoon channeling Jay Z in Wrangler boots and Beyonce in Timberland heels. He's in his Nike Hightops and has bought his girlfriend a pair of these to go with her new Adidas originals jacket. The more I look at them, the less I can make excuses for them. I am now getting the feeling of despair of sitting through a horrible teen dance film. A stupidly goodlooking young girl who looks suspiciously old for a teenager has to look after her brother and sister in rundown dowtown LA inbetween her shifts at the old peoples home after volunteering at the soup kitchen, finds her only solice in street dance. I have come to the conclusion that these are for the girl whose boyfriend is wearing these creations from Jeremy Scott for Adidas:<br />

I got an excited txt from a friend this morning 'Omg it's 24 degrees outside' WOAH. seriously? 24 degrees in June?? Mental, get your gypsy skirts out ladies, the heatwave is about to hit. I will admit the words "it's not even cold in the shade" did come from me this morning, immediately followed by the frustration of knowing that a British summer is as tempremental as Grace Jones off crack and the likelyhood of the weather lasting was slim. Either way 24 degrees means no more tights, opaque or otherwise or boots. And after an overhaul of my summer shoes I realised the same 2 pairs of ballet flats really arnt working anymore. A phobia of flipflops has meant I've stayed loyal to pumps and abarcas which yesterday I discovered are now being sold in Office. This makes me all different sorts of annoyed. Firstly because for years the reaction I've got from wearing Abarcas anywhere outside of Mallorca has been along the lines of "what the hell are they on your feet?!" and secondly because the shoes I love so much I have a mini keyring of them are now destined to be worn by the Espadrille brigade. <br />
<br />
Realising I needed to wean myself off them I did what any self respecting addict would do and turned my dependency to Gladiator sandles. My love for Gladatior sandles is deeply rooted in my slightly obsessive character. I say slightly obsessive because I'm (not so slightly) obsessed with anything Roman, to the point where I heared Flux by Bloc Party and heard "We were hoping for some Romans" rather than 'Romance'. The highstreet is offering the best selection I've seen since Gladiator sandles took off and of course Cavalli, among others are there to tempt.<br />

In the slightest. Organising my wardrobe happens over 2 days probably once every 3 years and when it's done I have a feeling of satisfaction probably equal to that which Mark Zuckerberg must get everyday when he wakes up. Today though, I had the task of unpacking 90% of my personal belongings back into my room at home and apart from the depressing realisation that the biggest pile in my wardrobe was pyjamas, I rediscovered shoes I had completely forgotton I owned. <br />
<br />
Hiding in the depths that never see the light of day I found gold glitter high tops, aqua Converse covered in embroidered flowers, studded stilettos and a pair of boots I had totally disowned and replaced. I actually got the guilt. We're all guilty of it, throwing shoes, a t-shirt or an old leather jacket (yep. found one of them too) to the back of the wardrobe and never giving it a second thought and in my case, then buying several identical articles months later. I've been told to be more positive so I took one for the team and got over my guilt in approximately 4 seconds and got that instant win feeling of finding a £10 note in an old bag. Obviously I then got over eager and began trying on every new pair I discovered, which did not really give the best over-all look teamed with a t-shirt probably older than myself and Kermit green pyjama shorts. Standard unpacking uniform. At the moment of discovery I could not think of one single reason I would have disowned these beauties in the first place, I have a horrible feeling time will tell. I have promised myself that I am not going to let the new found appreciation be short lived and will get use out of them. That is until I finally get my hands on a pair of Jeffrey Campbell 'LITAs'...<br />

Stylist Robert Verdi has teamed the classic Vans with a variety of Hermes silk scarf designes. I grew out of my skater boy appreciation phase at 15, but I might reconsider if someone managed to pull these off.<br />

We all know the standard festival uniform; Wellies, denim shorts (now high-waisted) and a Parka thanks to the inevitable British summer. I though, being a festival noob and all around pleb decided I was not going to wear my wellies but instead my leather boots with a 3 inch heel. By my usual standards, that's childs play. The weather was nice, I was in love with my boots, I was going to wear them and no one was going to stop me. But then something did stop me, not a person, a field. A dry dusty enormous field which became my best friend for 3 days. I have said that dancing all night has left me nearly crippled, that was nothing compared to the pain I felt after 14 hours stood in a field as even as Lindsey Lohan's tan.<br />
<br />
Then I finally understood why wellies are the law at festivals, because you have to be super-human to cope in anything else. I'll be honest, part of me refused to wear them on principle. I don't have a mass of highlighted hair all swept over to one side, or spend a stupidly long time making my hair look like I've just got out of bed to pair with the pair of Hunters I bought to wear to the 'raves' in my friends field. So I was faced with a decision, try to maintain some moral crusade resulting in a life of orthopedic boots, or join the Hunter's brigade. If you can't beat 'em join 'em. And I did, in a borrowed paired of pink polka dot wellies. Rock.and.Roll.<br />
<br />
If by some twist of fate -which is as likely as me being crowned Kim Kardashian look-a-like of the year- I manage to get to a festival this year, I hope to God it will be in a pair of these:<br />

The collection revolves around 4 themes for 4 'worlds':<br />
<br />
"NAVY - a tribute to the sea and its colours<br />
MATCH POINT - for an ironic, contemporary and sexy tennis style (er..ok..)<br />
MAROCCO - mysteriously fascinating and seductive<br />
CAMEL TROPHY - inspired elements of the survival kits from this world famous rally"<br />
<br />
Elegant, beautiful and striking. Yes please.<br />

This journey is so dull, I do it twice a week and have done since January. Why would I want to leave the city I've been in love with since I was 13? Well I have never <em>wanted</em> to, but unless London wants a maniac on the loose anihilating anything in a Polo shirt, or more likely themselves, it was best for everybody.<br />
<br />
I was put off buying this months issue of Vogue purely due to the fact Alexa Chung was on the cover. I know, I'm fickle and slightly irrational. But she continued to grate on me in the most intense irritating way when the dullness of the journey left me with no option but to read her interview. I quote, “Blogs are ridiculous; they’re just mood boards – unless you are Tavi.” Right, ignorant and obnoxious? Oh lovely my two favourite qualities combined into one relentless try-hard with undeserved success. Just as I was about to throw the magazine at the suited 50-something opposite me I realised I was in public, got a grip and came across this picture: <br />

It will no doubt amuse my friends massively to know that I later found out this shoe has been named the 'Flamenco' oh the irony. This shoe, and many others are the result of Joanne Stokers SS 2011 collection which is already making waves in the market. I hit google as soon as I got off the bore-wagon and immediately fell in love with the entire collection. London based Joanne Stoker drew her inspiration for the line from a combination of the London skyline and her travels to Cuba- a combination which sounds as compatible as Alexa Chung and myself but which has created a stunning final product. Hot pink, acid lime and electric blue teamed with suede, perspex and python leather, and all from just the designers second season.<br />

The End is neither nigh nor is the wrath of God about to pour down on to man kind, panic over. I'm not going to lie the prospect of getting out of my last months rent before my lease ends was actually starting to look like a perk, if you can associate 'perks' with the apocalypse. While discussing the impending doom with a friend, we got on to the topic of heaven and hell and came to the conclusion that we would both be heading for hell as, to quote my friend, "It's where all the celebs, musicians, clubs, hot guys, gays and fit girls will be. Plus, if I'm going to hell I'm going in Louboutins." Priorities are clearly not an issue for someone who only drinks Fiji Water because it 'tastes more watery'...<br />
<br />
We stayed realistic obviously, and decided that once the compulsory looting (where's the mass hysteria without looting?) began, he and I would be heading directly to the shoe mecca in Selfridges. So, imagine it for yourselves. You're stood in Selfriges, surrounded by the beautiful shoes you have admired and at the same time resented in the same way you have that irrational hate for the goodlooking girl you always see on a night out but never know where she's come from. -"Who even is she?!" translation: "Please do not be a really nice person because then I will have no choice but to abandon all hope."- Which do you go for? Do you head straight to the obvious Louboutins or run dramatically to Charlotte Olympia and grab a pair of snake skin courts? With the same seriousness and bordering on obsessive detail I invest in planning my imminent Euro Millions win, I decided on a short (or not so short) list of the shoes I would be taking with me to the inferno. And judging by the 'End of the World Update' I've just receieved from my friend, I'd advise you to do the same. No one wants to be the one in the club in pumps because you thought you were just going out for a few drinks and didn't plan ahead.<br />

My latest obsession, Jeffrey Campbell, King of the studded wedge makes my heart hurt with his beautiful creations. The Lita boot, available in 48, yes, 48 different colours and designs is my new 'ultimate'.<br />

Kirkwood explained the inspiration behind the creations came from having watched a documentary called <em>The Universe of Keith Haring, "</em> I couldn’t stop thinking about how amazing and prolific he was and how great it would be to incorporate his graphics into my designs". The entire collection, which boasts an array of mesmerizing designes coupled with sculpture-like shapes is on display at the newly launched Nicholas Kirkwood store on Mount Street in London. As you will see from the pictures, or perhaps if you are lucky enough to own a pair, these are not for the faint hearted or attention shy. Personally I find Nicholas Kirkwood's designs genuinely fascinating and works of art in their own right. If an un-made bed can be considered art and fawned over to the extent it makes me want to invite art critics to see my floordrobe to see what they have to say, Kirkwood is, and deservedly so, the modern day Dali of the shoe world.<br />

While wearing these on a Friday night to dance to a David Guetta remix would look as subtle as wearing a flashing neon sign pinned to your chest or as I learned last week, wearing a t-shirt with a half naked model on it, I'd definitely be more than willing to try it.launavarrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08293325795533943965noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6187946496861838877.post-61996565597764514552011-05-14T19:51:00.000-07:002011-05-14T19:51:39.822-07:00Uggly or Bootiful?Despite Summer (allegedly) being imminent no one, including me, has put away their boots yet. Oxford Street is still stuck in February apart from the fact that the Aviator jackets have been replaced with opaque blouses. For once, I'm not talking studded ankle boots with a 5" heel (more on them later), but the timeless flat knee-high. whether tan or black, buckled, zipped or laced, you genuinely can not go wrong. I have always sworn by boots in Autumn/Winter and although it may well have something to do with the London weather, I'm still practically living in them. I still can not, even slightly, understand why someone would chose to wear UGGs over, say, these for example:<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_A4cQ8soQVB2n_REpdsvf3Jlqe4uL-0VzMCkspDf83WGsN9mENRdxwU1QdAgMef1dv5K0GNypwpSqFHxoWm5iXObWkkw6VcwBCHD_aTCRBmzevWi7vtkZUP4eLXERHCEA18wo7nmREgdN/s1600/Burberry-Leather-knee-high-boots.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_A4cQ8soQVB2n_REpdsvf3Jlqe4uL-0VzMCkspDf83WGsN9mENRdxwU1QdAgMef1dv5K0GNypwpSqFHxoWm5iXObWkkw6VcwBCHD_aTCRBmzevWi7vtkZUP4eLXERHCEA18wo7nmREgdN/s320/Burberry-Leather-knee-high-boots.jpg" width="218" /></a></td></tr>

</tbody></table>"Because they're comfortable." No they're not, stop lying. Believe me, I made the amateur error when I was 17 of trying to walk further than from my room to the lounge in a pair of UGGs and ended up getting to Sixth Form looking like I needed specialist orthapedic shoes and ankle supports, not to mention cramp in my feet. What the hell is that about? If they look like something your Grandmother was wearing years ago when she wanted a change from thermal socks, do not wear them out, it's pretty simple. I've also been confronted with the arguement that they're good for cold weather. Well, No. You're lying again. I tested this theory by attempting to walk 100m to the shop in January. I say 'attempted' not because I haven't quite mastered how to put one foot infront of the other yet, but because I failed to make it 4 steps without taking myself out because of the ice on the ground. My leg was bruised, my ego was bruised, it was painful for everyone (just me) involved, so I learnt my lesson. I like to convince myself that boots are an investment, everyone <em>needs</em> a 'good pair of winter boots' as my Mum would say. "It's important." yes, Mum, yes it is. Chloe and JimmyChoo agree, which is why they have offered us mere mortals with UGG annihilaters.<br />

Self-appointed Louboutin ambassadors the Kardashians have fallen in love with the For Ever Tina suede fringed boots by Christian Louboutin. Don't let that put you off though, the 5.5" heel with hidden platform and almond shaped toe are worthy of the iconic red sole.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It's clear that Stella McCartney was not going for understated or discreet when designing these thigh high perforated boots and for that, I thank her. Perforation detail, a sculpted gun-metal heel and gun-metal trim make all £715 worth of this boot mesmerising. We are promised they 'simply slip on' but as much as I adore them, I highly doubt that. 'Simply' and 'Slip on' are the last words I'd associate with this bordering on inappropriate design.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">There are very few reasons I would be jealous of Khloe Kardashian. Firstly, she looks like a pre-op transsexual - an especially unfortunate one. Secondly, she has two ridiculously good looking sisters, that's just awkward. She's basically the Kardashian version of that one memeber of the boyband that no one remembers, the short one that stands at the back and occasionally gets to do a harmony if he's lucky, except she's not short she's giant. However, that woman has a shoe collection that deserves serious respect. It's a Louboutin mecca bordering on disgustingly excessive and I honestly think it would cause any normal human being a moral internal struggle. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Alexander McQueen continues to prove itself as the ultimate rockstar of high fashion with these stud-embellished white python and leather ankle boots. Of course they come at the rockstar price of £1,295.launavarrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08293325795533943965noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6187946496861838877.post-38367502187309938112011-05-10T17:31:00.000-07:002011-05-10T17:31:32.039-07:00Shoe far?Women are obsessed with body image, fact. I'm not saying men arn't but <em>all</em> women are, the ones who say they arn't are infact, lying. I'm the first one to admit the insta-fear when I realise Summer is barely 2 months away and thanks to a more than generous helping of study leave I'm still spending two thirds if not more of my day doing zero physical activity. Still, the fact that those clever people at Reebok and Sketchers have picked up on this gives me comfort in knowing that I'm probably not alone. Every fibre of me wants to say how pathetic the whole concept of the 'Shape-up' and 'Easy-tone' shoes are, that they're clearly just a marketing tool praying on young women and more likely depressed women going through a mid life crisis. Lets be honest, buying a pair of these will not save your marriage and will definitely not make you look even slightly like Kim Kardashian. Sorry, Leslie, 45 from Nuneaton married for 20years with 3 kids. And I can say almost completely confidently that I laughed at the whole idea. However I will admit that there was still that part of me - probably the part that convinced my 15 year old self it would be a good idea to try and survive off apples and one meal a day, the totally ridiculous part- that wondered if it would work.<br />
<br />
The Reebok Easy Tones I will admit are well designed, after all they are marketed at women and overall, if its aesthetically pleasing we'll take one. In every colour. But sweet baby Jesus what in the hell were Sketchers thinking?! Reebok design a good looking fashionable work out shoe, and Sketchers come up with what can only be described as Dinner Ladies trainers off the market down the road. Really Sketchers? This was the best you could come up with? The best though is the price, the trainers are £90 and the flip-flops are £35. I have an irrational loathing for flip-flops as it is, this just sealed the deal. The Shape Ups look like something even the Spice Girls would have rejected in the 90s, I know what I'm talking about here. Not only did I own my very own pair of gold Spice Girls inspired platform shoes, I also owned white and silver glitter Sketchers. I know what you're thinking. 'just...why?' Two words: Britney Spears.<br />

Yep, go on, walk those 10 metres past people you will most likely never ever see again in your life, in a bikini you haven't worn for 12 months.

No doubt by the time I'm 30 this relationship will have turned resentful and crippling but for now I'm still enjoying the honeymoon period. I say 'enjoying', the one verb which never comes to mind the morning after the night before is 'enjoy'. I have never been so genuinely terrified as one mid day when I woke up after 8 hours of dancing in 6 inch heels and thought I had permanently crippled myself. Obviously after such a night out there's only one place you're leaving your room for- McDonalds. Don't judge me. You've done, I've done it, we've all done it. The only thing thats going to get the mental image of tequila shots out of your head is a Big Mac or in my case, chicken nuggets. After the recovery process, there's still no way in holy hell you are putting anything higher than 0.00000005mm on you're tortured feet, and this is when you and I turn to the beautiful things that are, ballet slippers. Ballet slippers, pumps, flats, whatever you call them, you cherish them. They're the only thing that are going to get you through a full day in Oxford Circus and like a faithful friend, wont leave you at the bitter end even when they're falling apart. <br />

Once you have got over the inital hilarity that is this shoe by Louise Gray for Pollini its hard to imagine who in their right mind would pay £395 for these. Except maybe Angelica Pickles from the Rugrats as a gift for her doll Cynthia.

I like espadrilles, I own espadrilles. However, I am starting to develop a massive grudge for the obnoxious public school boy uniform that is rolled up chinos with espadrilles, and most likely a pink or yellow Ralph Lauren polo. I'll be honest, it probably doesn't help that I've had several people who like to think they started this trend rammed down my throat for the past 10 months and would rather share a bedsit with a bengal tiger than listen to "oh...mate...seriously..mate it was awesome. totes awesome" ever again. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">Personal grudges aside though, fashion really does confuse me sometimes. Espadrilles have always made me think of peasants and fishermen from tiny fishing villages in the mediterranean. Now I find myself dancing with my friends to dubstep in a dingey club next to a group of male 20-somethings clutching bottles of Carlsberg wearing...yes..Espadrilles. RED ONES! Like I said I do like espadrilles but not in the UK when its 15 degrees outside and most likely to have been raining solidly for 5 hours. There's a time and a place for everything. And the time for espadrilles is on holiday in Menorca. Yves Saint Laurent, Valentino and Cavalli, among others, have all embraced the Espadrille but obviously, being high fashion nothing is as simple as it seems. The humble espadrille has been refurbished, studded, and perfected into a shoe more at home at the Cannes Film Festival. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

These leopard print espadrilles were just purchased by one of my best friends who I have to say, has impeccable taste when it comes to all things animal print/studded/leather related. We clearly share a soul. If you find the leopard print intimidating, the cream crochet shoe is perfecty delicate and understated.<br />
<br />
Along with espadrilles, abarcas are traditional footwear in the mediterranean and something which I would confidently say I spend 2 months, perhaps 3 months of the year wearing solidly. These are two of my favourite pairs and as ridiculous as it may sound they are close to my heart.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I know, I thought the name was just an exaggeration too, but these are genuinely, 100% DIY. They are the genius result of a concept by Spanish performance artist Alicia Framis who invited United Nude to design a shoe with the only brief being 'suitable for outer space'. Now I don't mean to be the one to crush everyone's dreams as usual, but that does not look like something I'd be able to assemble in a fully equipped workshop surrounded by professionals, let alone in outer space. Ignoring the fact that the brief is totaly mental, I LOVE this shoe. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Assembley time for each shoe is 10 minutes and unless it comes with instructions as clear as a painting by numbers set for 5 year olds I would probably be about as successful with this as the first time I tried to assemble a Kinder Surprise toy. Nonetheless, it is totally unique and so insane its genius. The idea was to create something high fashion and elegant which would not be limited by the extreme conditions of space such as temperature and pressure and although I've never personally been into outer space to prove it, in my humble opinion, United Nude have done just that, and more.<br />

Personally though, I think she killed it. There comes a point where I could not care even slightly less about what shes going to stagger to her car in. Yes, they were shocking and amazing at first, but she's managed to make the Noritaka Tatehana heel-less skyscraper shoes as standard as that one person on a night out wearing a jacket in the club because they think its so amazing they dont want to waste it in the cloak room. Put it away, you're sweating, it's not a good look. <br />

And finally, although not the most beautiful shoe over-all, I bow down to Karl Lagerfeld for creating these: the Chanel gun heel. It almost upsets me that this shoe has so much potential but has fallen short. This potentially ledgendary heel looks like it's been stuck on to my Nan's 'family gatherings' shoe. You win some you lose some.<br />

I've lost count of the times I've been determined to buy flats, sandles, or even stilettos for a party, and have come out with yet another pair of shoe boots. They can do no wrong. Most recently -while on my never-ending quest to find a pair of wedges- I came out with a pair of black platform ankle boots.<br />

</tbody></table>I would say I regret the half an hour I spent in the shop trying them on, walking around, staring at my feet like a hyperactive dog transfixed by a tennis ball. But I honestly don't. The only slightly negative comment I could think of was the thickness of the heel. YSL have perfected the pin heel in a way no other designer has managed, in my opinion. Despite the fact that Eva Longoria has killed them the same way Victoria Beckham killed oversized sunglasses, I'm still waiting to find a pair of 6" pin heel ankle boots. Until then though, I will pledge alleigance to HRH Christian Louboutin and his beautiful creations.<br />
