Remember this?
Following on from last weeks post about being a Princess I was suddenly reminded of this advert for Clarks shoes that massively influenced my childhood desires to be a Princess. It also, I suspect has something to do with my unshakable belief that new shoes are the answer to all life’s problems.
I actually had a pair of Clarks magic shoes with the key in the heel. No one else cared, but when I put them on I really thought I was a Princess.
Every girl needs a pair of magic shoes. Shoes are more than a covering to stop the rain getting in, they’re a statement.
Magic shoes are different for every one. I’ve always been a killer heels girl and the ability to walk, and function in stupid shoes is a matter of pride. Sadly, I also have flat feet, and I’m finding I need to wear lower heels on a daily basis now, but for special occasions my magic shoes are high, spindly, and ridiculously frivolous.
I know chunky Clogs are pretty much the only thing to wear on your feet this Summer, but I’m still lusting after these lovely dainties on the High Street.
I love the 80s twist to these classic courts, with the fin back and the offset platform. Plus for some reason I just have a “thing” for purple shoes.
Petra Peep Toes – £65 Boutique @ Topshop
Another colour I have a soft spot for in shoes, red. I like that these are lady like peep toes, but with some understated studding and snakeskin. Grrr.
I am reliably informed that all I need for legs that look as long and delicate as a baby deers are a pair of nude heels with a platform. True or not these are still gorgeous.
Silver Rose Slingback – £54 Schuh
More peep toes. I just love them for warmer weather. The massive dramatic flower on these is just perfect for feet that make a statement.
The colours! I love a feminine, delicate shoe in an unusual print, and the zip corsage is just gorgeous.
