Don't you just love it when you find something that makes you want to revert back to an overzealous 14 year old - (seriously this post is seconds away from being littered with "OMG's", emoticons & a multitude of exclamation points). Well this is exactly how I felt when I discovered the "Vivienne Westwood for Melissa - Anglomania" range of shoes - or more specifically, one particular pair of shoes... and their price tag!
Melissa is world renowned (I'm not exaggerating either) for her jelly shoes and here at "Statement Pieces" we were coveting the range before they became chic and mainstream (yeah the Jimmy Choo version are to die for - but these are the originals!) The brand is so well respected that a plethora of amazing fashion designers have collaborated with Melissa to help raise her profile (and shun the copy plagiarisers). It's great news for us - where else are we going to get stunning Vivienne Westwood heels for a fraction of the price? Oh and the absolute *best* thing (and the thing that's sent my age back about seven years...) all Melissa's shoes smell like bubblegum - yep, you heard me, bubblegum! They deliberately add bubblegum scent to all their shoes - how cute is that?! Cue emoticon - XD
So these are the actual heels that have sent me so crazy - they're called "Lady Dragon" and are available in blue with red heart, pearl with red heart, yellow with black heart and salmon with black heart. Their style is an adjustable slingback v-shaped peeptoe and they feature quite a sturdy heel. The best news is that they're surprisingly comfortable, because they're made out of PVC they mold to your feet and the thicker heel offers a bit more support than most sling backs. Our favourite colour combo is the pearl/red heart as it is the most versatile/it shows the heart off really well - keep your outfit single toned or go for a black/cream and white mix and pick something structured like an pencil skirt and blouse. A nice touch would be a red headband/clip in your hair just to compliment & reinforce the heart - but nothing too outlandish - you just need a hint of colour.
