  4. Hey Carrie. These are all great. I really love the 2nd one on the 3rd row. But all of them are ultra cool. Take care. Cheers!

  5. There's something about the coupling with the socks that makes me fully obsessed with Burberry Prorsum. And the color of Rock & Republic's Suede Platform Pumps is love. And Alexander McQueen...enough said! Fabulous post love! :)

    5'8" to 9". What's not to love?! There are too many platforms here to comment on that I just adore. Thank you...you wonderful blogger!

  61. Every time I see those McQueen platforms, it reminds me of that goat dude from Chronicles of Narnia! Am I the only one who sees this?

    Anyways, my favourite look is Burberry Prorsum (of course) but the whole socks/heels thing is something I just haven't been able to find the right socks for - any suggestions?
