I recently fell in love with these fantastically fun pair of heels by Miu Miu. With a 14 cm (5.5 inches) heel, they are both gorgeous and scary. Completely covetable, albeit quite a personal challenge. You see, the tomboy in me tells me to forget life’s discomforts and never stop wearing Converse trainers and snugly Ugg boots. The feisty female in me (yes, I am full of contradictions, but I’m a girl so this is all pretty average) wants to do her home chores in high-heels, stroll along sunny streets in style.
While some fashionistas are predicting the end of towering shoes and a return to kitty-like proportions, others are gearing up to watch Sex and The City 2 and copy all of Carrie Bradshaws looks, from head to painful toe. To heel or not to heel, that is the question.

Hello there, I found your blog via Chictopia!
Those heels are gorgeous, but I'm afraid I'd have to have them in a heel that is about half as high as that one unless I'm just going to take pictures and then take them off, haha. I find myself torn between the comfort of flats and the style of heels sometimes, too!
