Net-a-porter Pick of the Day

Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at ten o'clock are peculiar moments to look forward to I admit. It's like getting photographs back from being developed 'in the old days'. There's a slight thrill before, and then either great excitement or a huge disappointment.

It was definitely the former this morning as net-a-porter pulled another triumph of an offering out of the bag (after an atrocious Wednesday morning).

All is forgiven, and I can get back to my daydreaming...

These beauties are made for walking

It's properly arctic outside and I'm reluctantly thinking about what to wear for two Christmas parties tonight, one very SW6 (shudder), the other very E1 (shudder with cold). I know these beauties would warm my cockles. 

The magical people at Miu Miu make larger sizes, not just shoes for midgets. At 5ft11 I'm hardly tiny and am size 42. Yet people stare at me incredulously as I ask for such a whopping size. You can almost hear them mentally yelling 'put it back in the circus!'. Most embarrassing when they're delicious-looking men like ice skating at Somerset House last week. Oh the shame!

Fred velvet lace-up flats at Christian Louboutin
£380

Brown brushed suede ankle bootie at Miu Miu
£460

Hand-woven wool and brushed-leather ankle boots at Cobra Society
£640 

It does however make the Miu Miu sneakers and booties (swoon) almost justified. Now, if only I could persuade Cobra Society to go a millimeter or two larger...
