Currently Coveting

Regardless of measuring in at 5"11, I often find myself browsing the endless rows of stilettos in The Shoe Room at Brown Thomas or the fabulous range of ultra luxe sandals that take pride of place in any Topshop footwear range.


Burberry

I regularly have to remind myself that no matter how much I lust after yet another pair of gravity defying bondage style platforms, adding an extra six or so inches to my already clumsy frame wouldn't be an ideal party look.


Topshop

How I long to pop on a clumpy pair of Miu Miu's finest sculpture-like stacked heels and stomp around town in a mismatched minidress and my trusty black Wolfords. There's just something about a sturdy, towering heel that not only elevates your physique, but also your spirits.


Miu Miu

For the moment I'll make do with comfy pumps and ballet slippers, although I look forward to the day that I give up worrying about towering over peers and feed my secret footwear fantasy.

Currently listening to 'Pin' by Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

You're so lucky, you can wear the most amazing shoes as much as you want! But I suppose the extra height comes in handy at gigs and when you're gasping for air squished up on the bus at rush hour and the like!

the miu miu shoes are truly perfection. But i totally feel you I'm 5.6 w/ my friends averaging 5.2 ish and I just hate the feeling of towering down on them.
