I'm currently pining after a pair of white stilettos.
I know what you're thinking. Tacky, trashy, 1980's throwbacks. Well actually - according to Alexandra Shulman, editor of British Vogue and Sarah Harris, fashion features editor at Vogue - white stilettos are the new 'it' shoe for autumn 2012. And who are we to argue, huh?
White stilettos were once synonymous with the sort of girls your mum would worry about you hanging around with, worn with mini skirts whilst listening to Madonna in her 'Like a Virgin' years. The stereotypical ‘Essex girl’ then brought the heels into the 21st century, which dare I say it, stained the image of the white stiletto even more so than the 1980's girl; if that was even possible.
Fast-forward a few decades and the white stiletto's image has had a rather magnificent revamp. Spotted all over this years most glamorous runways including Alexander Wang, worn by the most celebrated stars such as SJP and Gwyneth Paltrow and some of the most influential bloggers of our time, The Man Repeller (Leandra Medine) and Miraduma (Miroslava Duma). White stilettos have also been celebrated by influential magazines such as Vogue and Harpers Bazaar in their November issue, giving us even more reason to jump on board this autumn's hottest trend.
White stilettos are back with a vengeance and I'll admit it, I'm completely infatuated.
I imagine, when I get my hands on a pair, I'll wear the shoes with ripped white washed boyfriend jeans, a black oversized bomber jacket, an oversized white sheer tee and a black clutch bag big enough to fit my kitchen sink in. Well, you can never be too sure...
