The Statement Heel Boot

13/09/201570s heel boots, aw15 accessory trends, block heel boots, fashion, statement heel boots, topshop carmen, topshop mistic

Dior did it. Acne did it. Simone Rocha and Roberto Cavalli did it. And now the statement heel has trickled – or more like stomped – its way through onto the great British high street to make a stamp on the new season shoe scene. Step into Zara, walk into Topshop, and you’re sure to see a shoe, boot, or shoe-boot variation perched on top of an artsy block heel.

Topshop’s tortoiseshell heeled boots have been causing such a stir over Instagram and let’s face it, they are rather nice, aren’t they? I picked up the knee-high Carmen boot, and the Mistic ankle boot (now unavailable online). But let me tell you ladies and high-heel wearing gentlemen, avoid the Carmen boots at all costs if you have more than ‘shapely’ calves. My feet come in at a pretty minuscule size 3, but I wasn’t expecting to find that these boots had been made for actual 3 year olds: the fit on the calf is so tight it was like a corset for my calf fat. Sexy, no? Cue, a lot of wearing to stretch them out properly, leading to pins and needles legs and at one point, a weird rash from the elastic. But like they say, beauty is pain (or so I keep telling myself…)

    I have a great fascination over boots since childhood. Now my fascination is all over best work boots for men as I'm a marketing head of an well known reputed company. I need to look presentable always.

Valentine’s Day: do you do anything for it (even Valentine’s Day: do you do anything for it (even a card, an acknowledgement of it) or do you just live it like any other day? It’s not something that bothers me really but I said to Jimmy “it would be nice to get some flowers though” - he replied by asking me when actually is Valentine’s Day. Lol. So... bets are on. Who thinks I’ll be getting flowers on Valentine’s Day 😂?

Don’t worry I’ll just be sitting here patientl Don’t worry I’ll just be sitting here patiently waiting for summer so I can enjoy my walks in the park in these sandals 🥺 but seriously, my chanel sandals have been the best investments I’ve made. They’re about the only shoes I wear in spring summer. Until then, I guess I’ll be wearing them as slippers 🥴
