Shoes: Charlotte Olympia's Runaway Bride Collection

Runaway Bride: Charlotte Olympia's 'Lolly Dolly' and 'Polly' heels

While shoe lovers the world over have fallen (possibly literally) head over heels for Charlotte Olympia's 'Kitty' designs, I've been waiting for the collection hotly anticipated by every woman with a ring on it - the Runaway Bride collection. While it's hard to imagine a bride running anywhere in these vertiginous beauties, they've certainly been designed for one who intends to saunter down the aisle at the very least, offering guests a cheeky glimpse of leopard print or sweetheart adorned heels beneath the possible virginal white of her wedding dress. Of course, any bride who chooses a Charlotte Olympia design for her wedding shoes will more than likely find that a white dress is far from obligatory. For the Kate Middleton brides of this world, these are not. Not only do all of Charlotte's shoes feature charming details like the spiders web which weaves its way across every sole, but the Runaway Bride collection also features specially considered  details like the soft blue of the platform on her 'Polly' heels, which can count as your 'something blue' on the day. Each pair even comes with some blue laced stockings to match!

At the age of 22, I've pretty much sussed my wedding dress designer, venue and now my shoe designer. Remind me again why a husband is required?

Now available at Net-A-Porter.

Thought for the day: If only Kate Middleton had worn Charlotte Olympia heels on her wedding day....
