Every so often, a designer takes it into his or her head to stick lipstick on the heel of a shoe. I kinda wish they wouldn’t, to be honest. I know some people will argue that it’s “quirky” and “cute”, and God knows, I love red lipstick and I love black pumps, so you’d think I’d love any combination of the two. You’d be wrong, though: this is just way too gimmicky for me, but if it’s just what you’ve been waiting for all your life, you can click here to buy these for £269.

What do you think of them?

Looks like Messrs Dolce & Gabbana are finding themselves inspired by faces, and particularly mouths, this season, because hot on the vertiginous heels of those suede face wedges I showed you earlier this week comes these lipstick courts. Which, as the name suggests, come with a lipstick attached to the toe. Well, it makes a change from a flower or a jewel, doesn’t it?

I have to admit that the beauty junkie in me did briefly experience a moment of excitement, wondering if the lipsticks were real ones. Having established that they’re not, though, I just think they ruin what would otherwise be a rather lovely pair of black suede court shoes.
