Camel Toe

As you can probably guess from the picture, I’m not referring to embarrassingly tight trousers, but the Christian Louboutin Décolleté 100 pumps in a cool shade of camel. The Décolleté 100 pumps, launched by Louboutin  in the 1990's are a perennial classic and has been one of the brand’s continuous bestsellers and one of the few styles that appear in every collection. And it’s not hard to see why. It would be difficult to find something these beauties can’t be worn with, be it smart office separates during the day or an LBD for cocktail hour. It tops my shoe list this season, blending perfectly with a/w’s return to paired down basic classic pieces that can be worn again and again. The exquisite craftsmanship of  Loubouitin turns the basic court into a lustful fashionista must have. £375, these babies aren’t cheap, but I can convince myself that they are what the fashion editors refer to as ‘an investment piece’ and hand over the plastic. For those that aren’t as weak willed and credit card ready, LK Bennett does a similar shoe for £140, without of course , the unbiqitous red sole.
