Shoes hold a special place in the heart of every fashion girl.
They have mood-lifting, outfit-transforming abilities. Their importance was even cemented by the incredible moment Big proposed to Carrie in Sex and The City The Movie – he kneels down in that big empty New York penthouse complete with walk-in closet and presents her with a blue satin Hangisi Manolo Blankik pump. Amongst other things, it was the ultimate – not mention most romantic - acceptance of a woman’s (perfectly natural) shoe obsession, ever.
Well, now its party season and indulgence is the name of the game. When else can you justify impossibly high heels, glitter, sequin and velvet – all at once?! Because it’s definitely not just your outfits that should be sparkling.
This season we’ve seen all the shoe trends on the catwalks, too. Dorothy-esque glitter pumps, ‘70s platforms, simple two-strap sandals, luxurious slipper-like flats sporting a myriad of embellishments. There is a style for every ensemble and every festive occasion.
To make sure you’re able to find your perfect dancing partner, we’ve rounded up our top picks so you can tap to the beat of Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas in the utmost style. From bejewelled to covered-in-glitter, plumes and couture-like bows – these beauties definitely don’t disappoint.
