Desire of the Day #2

Coral Spiked Loafers, £24.99, Own the Runway

I know I said that I was probably going to keep these posts for beauty products, but what the hell. This is what I am desiring today, so I am going to post about it!

As most of you will probably know, I have gone a bit spike and stud mad in recent weeks - you only have to look back at my past three Weekend Wishlist posts for evidence! I don't know what it is about them, but I just love the way you can take a feminine, floral fabric or a soft, pretty colour and toughen them up with a spot of studding. I adore that contrast. I suppose it's a little bit reminiscent of how we started singing on leather bikers and tough boots over the top of pretty dresses a few years back. I'm still not tired of that look, even now, and studs are a great way of bringing it bang up to date.

You will probably also be aware of my love for all things coral if you are a regular reader, so obviously these little beauties are my absolute dream combo, shoe-ified. The only downside is that I'm a bit of a shortie, and will usually be found wearing heels, but somehow I just haven't felt the same way about studded heels as I have the flat pumps and loafers I've seen. In all honesty, I probably won't be buying these, because whenever I have bought flats in the past, they have always, no matter how beautiful, ended up unworn. Unworn, but loved, I might add, but that's not really good enough, is it? I just feel that I look much more in proportion when wearing heels, even small ones, so I suppose I am going to have to lust after them from afar. 

They are perfect though, aren't they?
