Obsessed with White Shoes

I was never a big fan of white high-heeled shoes, they always reminded me of the 80s in a bad way. Until recently, I only thought they looked good on a bride or... on Carrie Bradshaw. Otherwise, white pumps were for me more closer to a fashion faux-pas than to a lesson of style. But some very talented designers and other streetstylers have managed to change my mind...

Alexander Wang came up with a fierce pair of white shoes this season which didn't go unnoticed in the fashion bloggers' world. Just have a look at how northern beauties, Hedvig and Caroline, are wearing these, G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S !

After featuring a few white pointy-toe wedges in the Céline Resort 2012 collection, Phoebe Philo confirmed that these were more than just a one-time trend. At the Céline fall/winter 2012 runway show most models were wearing a pair of the coolest pair of white pointy-toe wedges.

And to try this trend out, here are some styles available online.

I don't know about you but I am sold, white shoes will look super cool this summer but in the fall. I'm eyeing the Mango pair, very similar to the Céline wedges and if I'm lucky to find them in Portugal (holidays coming up sooooooooooon !) they will be mine !
