I was gutted when Ravel went bust a couple of years ago. As a teenager, I always loved their shoes, which somehow seemed a little more “special” than some of the other high street brands that were around at the time, so it was a sad day when they announced they were closing their doors for good.
The shops may have gone, however, but the brand still lives on, albeit in a slightly reduced fashion. Viva la Diva have just added a new collection of Ravel shoes to their website, however, with these ‘Dreamy’ court shoes above them. I love the bright pink and black mix, but I’m not quite so sure of the ruffle, which for some reason is reminding me of a jellyfish. Great to see Ravel still alive and well, though: these are £65 and you can buy them here.
I love the ruffle. So, okay, I love EVERY RUFFLE, but I think this one is especially nicely done.
It’s the hot pink I’m not crazy about.
I think I’d have to see them on a foot to make my judgement.

I don’t mean to be crude but they remind me of a vagina :O
Yeah, I’m definitely seeing the jellyfish. Not sure why. Maybe it’s the way the ruffle looks like it could be squiggling through the water.
Before reading the comments, I was kinda on the fence about them, but after reading what Emily said, I don’t think I’ll be able to look at them and not think vagina.

Oh dear. Despite Emily’s comment, I find I like these! The heel is fabulous.
Aha! I know what they remind me of now, it’s that stupid pussy cat dolls video where everything is black and hot pink.
THAT’S why I couldn’t like them xD
