we're Obsessed!

If you don't have Nicholas Kirkwood on your radar yet, may I ask why? The Brit (who doesn't love a Brit?) has created Rodarte's runway shoes for the past four seasons, seen his creations grace the feet of cool girls like Sienna Miller and Mary-Kate Olsen, and if that weren’t enough, won last year's British Fashion Award for best emerging accessory designer. Whew. These platform peep-toe beauties have a 5 inch heel that looks as if it were dipped in molten silver, then splashed across the back of the shoe (this is a cool thing, not a bad one). You'll walk taller both for the obvious reason and for the fact that that the name on style experts' lips is now at your feet.
