I hope I will not bore you with my nagging about Ingelmo..

Could not resist to show this picture:

Very cool! Are they good to walk in?

Curious that she would feel unelegant and unfeminine while IN heels...

Pata, would you recommend DiMarni shoes? Is the quality good?

The imprint on the soles looks exactly like the one on LSB shoes I've had. I think the seller has misread the text. Also the insoles look very much like LSB. They look like the style X18.

Seems a bit shady, since if you press the home-link you come to a page selling fake Louboutins.

You should try the original: http://www.natachamarro.com/

As high and beautiful as the heels Bettie Page wore were, I don't think she wore them outside of photoshoots. A true high heel icon wears them as everyday wear. I therefore voted Victoria Beckham. She even sticks to her Louboutins while pregnant.

Thanks for sharing...

You're so welcome!

Personally I find an attractive woman in a lamp-shade hat deeply lovely.

Personally I find the words 'attractive' and 'lamp-shade hat' mutually exclusive.

Reminds me of when I was in Henley on Thames back in 2009, during the rowing competitions... A lot of high heels, but what I remember most are all the lamp shade hats.. =O

Pussy In Boots, You got the wrong end of my post. Topshop used to be all about cheap and nasty clothes. However today they are a tour de force in the fashion world and lead rather than follow. I know quite a few people who work in design and marketing for them and they are one of the highest regarded companies in the world when it comes to setting trends.

The La Rochelle shoes in the original post are a high end 'workably stylish' version of the cheap and nasty shoes that Pleaser churn out with little regards to fashion or taste.

I didn't mention 'Tarts' or 'Sluts' in my post and I hope I never will. All I said was that the original Pleaser shoes were taken up en mass by the strip/pole dance industry. Topshop, and even Chanel before them, have used the style and all that it implies and elevated it from a nasty shoe to something truly stylish. It's all in the subtle references and style cues.

I agree with you for the most part, although I still think the style is nasty, no matter who does it...

Wishful over-exaggeration.

I simply referred to the overall appearance of the shoe

and what I said about 'TopShop' is a fact.

No, it's an opinion.

Trust me, if a girl says that something is 'tarty'....and she isn't joking - then you are guaranteed that the object of her criticism is in pretty bad taste.

In her opinion yes, not objectively.

What's the point if you can't stand straight in them?

What do you get annoyed about?

That she's young and spoiled and gets all these amazing and expensive clothes without much effort.

I think you look silly

I think you are silly

I mostly get annoyed if I read it, so I stay away.

What happened to "The Perfect Gentleman"?

Actually, I would be very interested to find out precisely what our gentlemen members here class as 'high heels' when they post about everyday wearing of heels.

A pair I wear as everyday shoes:

It's an instinctual thing, primal.

If it's an primal instinct thing, how come not all women react the same?

Why bother with a pedicure if you don't shave your legs?

I'm trying to get a hold of a pair of wedge heels from Aldo, but even proxy shipping services like Borderlinx are of any help (due to Aldos' shipping policy), so I'm asking if anyone here in the UK would be prepared to help me out. I'll send you the money to cover the price, shipping costs to Sweden, and some extra compensation for your effort. I'd be forever grateful!

I think it's a rather sad and reducing expression. In some ways akin to blaming a raped woman for the clothes she was wearing.

Overexaggerating are we?

"They must have been at least five-and-a-half inch with no platforms" While they are nice heels, I think this is an over-exaggeration.
