This season i would like ...

... shoes with a perspex heel.

Despite my better judgement (which is saying i'll look like a cheap American bar tender/table dancer, though maybe this is part of the appeal) i feel a perspex heel, killer high of course, would sufficiently jazz up my weary wardrobe.
The spring/summer '07 collections were littered with perspex heels and not just from those designers peddling the 'futuristic' look.

Of course, having a limited budget the below options are more likely. Which, it has to be said, has deterred me a little. In the process of moving from the catwalk to the high street more than the usual amount of style has been lost with these shoes. Also, though it seemed rather daring and modern when i saw the designer models, by the time the trend had trickled through to high street versions i can actually afford, the whole effect seemd totally naff and i felt myself the quintessential fashion victim. That said, id still happily wear the marc jacobs pair above if given £300.
