A curvy looking stomp

Whilst Chloe Sevigny's 'Ask Chloe' column in British Elle (surpassing British Vogue on superior style these days, non?) hasn't really floated by boat, I am still stumped/floored/any other foot-related verb by the shoes that Chloe wears in this Elle shot that flanks her column.

Then I in turn get stumped by the fact that I haven't yet written about Natacha Marro and her wonderfully curvy platformed shoes. I was probably waiting for her site to launch because previously, she was associated with House of Harlot, a site that will only appeal to a select few here I'm guessing, with whom they share the same 90 Holloway Road address which is so close to me it's almost criminal I haven't made it down there myself.

What's even worse is that i distinctly remember Daphne Guinness citing House of Harlot shoes as a personal favourite of hers and she's been spotted wearing that signature rounded chunky platform on quite a few occasions. So definitely a slap on Susie's wrists for not writing about Marro sooner.

My taste doesn't normally veer towards the burlesque, the retro, the pin-up. Actually, the thought of me dressed up in burlesque gear either is a highly hilarious one. The thing that draws me to Marro's shoes is the slightly cartoonish quality about them. So shiny, so round, so high...just very very SO! It's doubtful that I'd ever wear them with fishnets and a winky smile but with a grey tri-blend racerback (there is NOTHING not to like about grey tri-blend anything...), some skinny button up black leggings, the shoes might end up shining out as great shoes as opposed to great stripper shoes.
