My hands are firmly up- but with one condition. I think lace up heels are totally amazing, like totally. But they can look a little less than amazing depending on what outfit you pair them with. Short short skirts and tight tight tops paired with these kind of shoes are less fashion forward and more try-hard. Paired with something simple and elegant however I think they add an edge that most heels don't offer. They also make it seem like you've made a huge effort when really you've stuck a pair of shoes on and left it at that. I mean its not even as if you actually tie them up yourself, theres a zip for a reason... so lazy people like me don't have to spend hours panting and puffing trying to get some shoes on.

TO THE POINT

Since getting these two I couldn't imagine walking into a shop and buying shoes that aren't pointed. I've had a few round toe shoes in my time and still wear them but find when I wear pointed shoes I feel so much cooler and like my outfits look more well put-together... sleeker.
Every time I come home I literally get so crazy over these Ted Baker shoes... I hardly ever get chance to wear them because I want them to stay this lush, so I thought I'd do a little appreciation post so they see a little action (even if its not on my feet). I got them a while back in June and mainly wore them in Summer when I went out for meals or (more sophisticated) parties but i'm hoping I get an occasion soon so I can whip them out again soon.
Now onto the stripes. My oh my, if I could fill my wardrobe just with stripes I ABSOLUTELY would. No questions asked. My mum treated me to these beauties when she visited me at uni from Marks and Spencer. I am M&S's biggest fan. I don't know why people don't go there more often; their Limited Collection is not too pricey (think Topshop range if not a lil' cheaper) and so many pieces are fab... like these shoes of course. They add a pop of interest to a fairly plain outfit and are so simple that I can't get enough!
