So, I hadn’t actually intended to feature lots of heavily embellished/glitter-encrusted shoes today, but Net-a-Porter had a new delivery of their winter stock and, well, let’s just say it’s obviously going to be a very shiny Christmas. And an expensive one, too, apparently.
The trend seems to be for very ostentatious shoes, and the more crystals/diamantes/pieces of glitter you can cram onto them, the better. In general, this plan would have my full approval, because I’m a bit of a magpie where shiny things are concerned, but I’m actually not blown away by these Valentino peep toes, although I don’t dislike them either. Perhaps it’s just a case of “too much bling spoils the shoe”, who knows. What do you think of them?
BUY: Valentino diamante peep toes, £585
Pretty, but they don’t feel overly special to me.
You’ve just totally put your finger on what was bothering me about them: it feels like for that price, and with that amount of embellishment, they should just feel so much more “special”, doesn’t it? But they somehow don’t.
I’d have to see them on a foot. Maybe that would convince me.
