It wasn't like I talked about them all the time or had a room devoted to them or spent an entire month's rent on a pair or anything - sadly (or not sadly maybe) - but always I admired a good shoe. Only I had to do it from afar once the Carrie-effect took over.
Shoes became some crazy seasonal "It" item and now I sort of think that Mr Louboutin's red sole is kind of naff and I certainly don't aspire to be the woman that wears them. And who knows what will happen to Mr Choo now that Tamara isn't holding the reins any more. But perhaps he's become too big to fail.
Anyway I'm not admiring these from afar. I want them up close and personal. Nicholas Kirkwood has been around for a while and I didn't really love his whole platform sole and felt his silhouettes weren't for me but these new shapes and styles for Spring/Summer 2014 (exclusively available on a clever Moda Operandi Trunk Show) are gorgeous and elegant and classic and some are even sporty and practical.
They all make me want to go to Capri or Buenos Aires and hang out in beautiful places looking only at my feet. I guess I'm one of those fucking women after all.
