Please..Keep the Timber Beetle Crushers to Yourself.

I have a bone to pick with the ‘fashion panel’. Why is it that atrocities like wooden clogs and wooden platforms are been leaked onto the pages of fashion magazines and blogs? I don’t care who wares them, who makes them or how much they cost. Wooden footwear is a No-No!

It is distressing to see a pair of Carmen Steffen heels that appear to be made of scraps form a kitchen company. These ‘things’ are called ‘cork platforms’. Cork my foot, it's plywood and plywood is not pretty...or cool. Nor are Luella’s ‘cone’ heels and the wooden platforms from Guess.

This season is looking exquisite – fresh florals, prints, demin shirts, sneakers and 70’s shades – Lets not sabotage one of the hottest summers with such horrible shoes.

I suggest we be adorning our feet with the following this season:

Floral sneakers, brogues and heels; overdose on flora, its uber fresh.

Nude platforms with straps and mesh – this look is classic and will stick around for quite some time. As an extra bonus, nude heels give the illusion of having longer legs, a must have for shorties like me.

Gladiator sandals are still our summer staple – just without the studs. Think leather, beaded detail and tribal patterns.

Sneakers are like Liquorish All-Sorts at the moment, they come in every color, shape and design. Up your swag with something new from the latest Le Coq Sportif, Zoom and Lacoste ranges. All Stars are still legend.

For those of you who are into this wooden shoe thing – shame. Your summer is ruined. And please don’t spoil ours by wearing your timber beetle crushers, keep them to yourselves!
