Currently Craving: High Heels

“Sensible is no longer an option. ”

Fame, Fans and Flatpack Furniture

I cannot overstate how much I am yearning for the ditch of functional shoes right now. I mean, I love a chunky boot and a cushioned sole as much as the next flat-footed person but oh, for a heel! For the pure impracticalness, for the pleasure of dressing frivolously. I’m dreaming of a life in which I am wearing these woven nappa leather ankle boots by luxury British shoe-makers, Russell & Bromley. Not only do they feature a fairly vertiginous spike heel but also toe as pointed as the caustic wit of Dorothy Parker. And, I want them as pictured here, in strictly nonutilitarian white. Sensible is no longer an option.
