I know the sheer height of these shoes will make them look a trifle ridiculous to some of you, but me? I love them. They’re like a little slice of summer, with their cork heels and their tan leather uppers, and I can’t think of a single item in my summer wardrobe that wouldn’t look infinitely better with them. Sundresses? Check. Faded jeans? Check. Shorts? Well, maybe only if I was feeling really brave… I guess you got me there.
My point remains, though: these would work with (almost) everything, and would allow you to briefly experience what it must feel like to walk on stilts. Shame they’re £468, really…

It’s that chunky shape and super-high heel/platform again!
These Harajuku Lovers cork platforms make such a strong style statement, and I love it, both for the two-toned upper, and for that towering heel, which would allow me to experience what life’s like for a tall person – or at least a regularly sized one, anyway.
I’ve shown you these in blue, because it’s my favourite of the three colours these come in, but if you prefer something a little more muted, they’re also available in black and brown. They’re $99.95 at Amazon.

What: Nine West cork-soled platforms
When: Monday, February 22, 2010
Where: Working and then visiting my in-laws for dinner
With: Dorothy Perkins dress, tights and belt from who knows where!
I’ve actually worn these shoes a couple of times recently, but today was the first time I had a chance to take a photo of them! They’re by Nine West, and are clearly a “homage” (ahem!) to Christian Lououtin’s Bruges pumps. I bought them in the States a couple of years ago and wore them a lot in the first year I had them, although they’ve been out of regular rotation until now!
What are you wearing on your feet today?

Punty. For some reason, this word fascinated me, so while I’m sure ASOS.com probably intended it to be simply a fun shoe name (Kinda like the way Faith are always calling their shoes ‘Blippy’ or ‘Booby’ or somesuch) I decided to look it up on Urban Dictionary, which defines a “punty” as:
“A person who is short, and tries to make up for it by acting extremely angry and aggressive towards taller people. You will often times hear a punty person talking about how bad it sucks to be short.”
So, now you know! You’ll definitely be a little less short in these shoes, because they have a 5.2″ heel and 1.3″ platform so that’s one thing sorted. As for being aggressive towards taller people, well, that would be very naughty, so don’t do it, OK?
And now, every time I look at these shoes, I will imagine them walking up to a taller pair of shoes (yes, I know it’s hard to imagine a taller pair of shoes) and getting all aggressive. I love a shoe with personality!
These are £40. Get them here.
