>> So the last pair of S/S 09 Basso & Brooke babies weren't here to stay but these coral pair are courtesy of the lovely boys at Basso & Brooke. Sadly though despite my size 38-39 status (i.e. I could be anything from a 38 to a 39…) these size 39s are still a bit loose. Flooping around in the house in my house ballet flats, I did sigh a little at the beautiful ornate heels glinting in the sun and so in a Prada S/S 09-sock liner+shoe-esque (best illustrated with this Vogue Paris editorial…) brainwave, I slipped my feet into the shoes in an attempt to fill out the space a bit more. A tad more secure and actually lessens the extreme beauty of the heels which also inadvertedly lessens the "I'm not worthy" feeling that the shoes naturally illicit.
Oh Goodness… Those are just BEAUTIFUL! Great colour, and great idea on the layering 😀 Can’t wait to see them in an outfit!

Lucky girl – those are some Fabulous shoes! Brilliant idea putting the ballet shoes with them – I imagine its far more secure than those Prada socklette things too.
Damn them shoe sizes… maybe wear them with big thick gym sock!

the heels are absolutely beautiful! and the whole structure of the shoe…just wondering, is it hard to walk in them? i would be deathly afraid of accidentaly tripping and breaking one of those heels!
Amazing shoes… I love how you put them with the ballet flats, very creative
Woah words can’t describe how envious I am of you. I could spend an entire day just looking at those heels.
Anyway, being totally random and irrelevant to this post, I think your fashion sense has improved tremendously over the years. Go you! 🙂
My official stance on heels this high is : ‘no’ but I don’t think anybody could refuse a heel THAT beautiful. Wooooooooooooooooooooow. I wouldn’t even need to walk in them because I’d have to be in a position where I can gaze at the heel of my shoe all day.
holy moly! simply divine.
what are they like to walk in?
WOW!!! Absolutely marvelous heels, and I love the layered shoe thing!
At first I wasn’t sure if I liked it, but now I love it. Those shoes are darling, gorgeous, love the colour and the heel!

Amazing heels!
It´s such a shame when lovely shoes are too big. Got a pair of my own.
that’s the best coral shade! hopefully you’ll sort something out, maybe excuses to buy more stockings/socks?
Gorgeous shoes! Sad they don’t fit well. Maybe thick high socks?

I’ll be frank: I’m jealous.
BEAUTIFUL!! In coral, no less.
=D
Wear them in winter with thick knee socks, and in summer put them on a shelve or in your bookcase to admire 🙂
Ahahah I have the same problem! I’m a 38/39 and all in between as well 😉
Those shoes are amazing, and I have to say, I really love the way they look layered! Great thinking on that one. Can’t wait to see them in action.
