Nude Perfection


I've been looking for the perfect nude heels for so long. It's a few years since they first emerged into the mainstream and on to the high street, yet their appeal hasn't faded. I suspect that we have Kate Middleton to thank for this. Kate sports the L.K. Bennett versions, which I have tried and was extremely relieved to find weren't at all comfortable.

There are numerous permutations on this modern classic including: platforms, open toes, sling backs etc. By far the most versatile, practical and most importantly stylish, in my opinion, is the class almond toed pump. This combination has been surprisingly difficult to find in a fit which is tolerably comfortable for my super sensitive feet. I certainly wasn't expecting my quest for the perfect nudies to end in TK Max. It was love at first sight when I spotted these Carvelas.

Another issue I've had with nudes heels is finding the right shade. I find the beige shades can be a little unflattering on paler legs like mine. These lovelies have a gorgeous taupe tinge which really complements fairer skin tones.



When I say these shoes are comfortable, I don't mean that I won't be in agony by the end of an evening wearing them, because I will. But, I don't anticipate gashed heels and blisters and for me that's about as good as it gets where heels are concerned.

My local TK Max quote a RRP of £100 and are selling them for£39.99, which is pretty amazing. I also got 10% off as there are a couple of scratches on one of the heels. It's always worth asking for a discount. All in all, I'm pretty chuffed and glad I waited for the perfect pair.
