High Heels

Les Floralies

Floral trends from the Spring/Summer 2010 catwalks at Chanel, DKNY and Dior

If your spring/summer wardrobe is starting to look all very neutral, khaki and lace then take a page out of Karl Largerfeld’s book and follow the trend which has been on the catwalks of DKNY and Dior this season – Floral. You know you’re safe if Chanel is doing it! But if you are still struggling with the nightmarish thought that if you succumb to this trend you may look like:

A)      A five year old girl

B)      Your grandmother’s curtains

you can introduce it gently into your collection with these lovely wedges from Rocket Dog, £39.99 they go with jeans, skirts, shorts and can be teamed with plainer items to tone down the look.

Or try copying the Chanel look by combining with some lace, but don’t go over the top or we’re in grandmother curtain territory again! Wedges are a great way to add high and length to your legs without being in the sometime precarious territory of stilettos, they are the ultimate relaxed heel and the next best thing to flats in terms of comfort with the added advantage of making your legs and bum look nicer! However if you want to follow the fashion gurus to the letter, clogs are the way to go. The selection on the high street is still a bit limited but Topshop, always hot on the heels of the designers has got these cute ones in for £80 – team with a floral dress to look like you’ve just stepped out of the Grand Palais.

Straight off the catwalk

When the summer comes round I always feel like my going out outfits need a bit of pepping up but I don’t always want to completely start over, if you are in the same situation than some statement pieces can solve that problem in a flash!

If you’re looking to update your party wardrobe with a statement piece that looks like it’s come straight off the catwalks of Milan I suggest you check out the new collection of platform heel at Dune to Spring/Summer. Every pair is bang on trend and will give any party outfit that glamorous edge you are looking for. This pair of Fendi heels comes in at around £500

Now thanks to yours truly, you can get the same look without breaking the bank, I love this pair at only £33 which come in black or grey. I defy you not to be in the mood for a party once you’ve put them on! Have fun!
