FASHION: SPRING/SUMMER 2009 THICK, CHUNKY HEELS

I love em. There’s few things that are sexier on a woman than a fly, classy, sexy pair of heels, or other form-complementing shoes. I have the exclusive insider info on the latest trends in all things fashion. We’ll start with these sexy shoes, & keep it moving with everything from gladiator heels, to fringed dress & shoes, to Sheer, & much more. Enjoy. I know I will. I love it

When writing about the latest fashion trends we're constantly looking at the clothing, hair trends and make-up trends, but sometimes it's easy to forget about a girl's most important accessory: her shoes. So here it is, your shoe guide to Autumn (Fall)/Winter 2008/2009 in the form of our 2008/2009 shoe trends bible!

Square toes, crocodile skin, triple-buckles, and bohemian fringing are just some of the things you might not have been expecting to come back into fashion so soon, and yet here IS A SAMPLE OF THE SEXINESS TO COME.

Thick, chunky heels

What: Platforms and thick heels have dominated the past few seasons; and a number of the major design houses have seen fit to carry them on for Autumn / Winter 2008.

Seen on: the runways of Christian Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, Marni, Chanel.

Verdict: All those sturdy heels we've just invested in shouldn't go to waste too soon - despite the return of the more graceful stiletto. The definite advantage of shoes with a thick heel is that they're better to walk in; so make the most while you can.
