The perfect shoes for the Christmas party season

November 17th, 2008 by Caroline

With the Christmas party season upon us, I have been thinking about what to wear.

Anyone who knows me, knows that I have a very little teensie weensie shoe obsession and I always begin planning an outfit with the shoes first. In fact, I actually chose the shoes I was to be married in before choosing my wedding dress. (For those of you who want to know, they were pink satin Christian Louboutin peep-toe 10cm heels.)

I find it can be a challenge getting from car to restaurant to bar in teetering heels. Throw a glass or two (okay three) glasses of champagne and a wintry cobbled street into the mix and its gets particularly risky!

Fortunately, I have found the perfect solution: Maloles, made by Maloles Miracosta-Antignac.

Born in Spain and trained at the Institut Français de la Mode in Paris, Maloles Miracosta-Antignac sees the shoe as a sculpture and the foot as a very sensual part of the body. This translates into an adorable shoe that is feel-good, feminine and fun.

These very pretty Maloles flats are small enough to fit into your evening bag, so you can slip them on when your feet have had enough. I think they are so lovely that I would wear them all night!

The Maloles can be purchased from Net-A-Porter. Happy partying!
