  3. Mmmmm, nothing beats those YSL Tributes I reckon. Although I'm enamoured by them all. I've always had a fascination for all things platformed (not to mention it makes life easier for those of us who love heels).

    Congrats to fashion cofectionary on her win too!

    hope you're having a great week CC
