Lunchtime buy: Valentino Rockstud kitten heels

At this time of year, when we’re all compiling Christmas lists, it’s hard not to slip into fantasy Christmas Present Dreaming territory.

You know, when you’re Christmas shopping for a loved one but then somehow end up in a totally inappropriate shop, trying on a pair of shoes that you then end up dreaming will appear under your Christmas tree on December 25th. We’ve all been there!

Item no. 1 on the Fantasy Christmas Present List has to be these Valentino Rockstud Kitten Heel pumps.

Since Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli took the helm at the Italian atelier, Valentino’s accessories line has become even more exciting, which isn’t surprising considering the design duo previously worked in the accessories team at the label for 10 years.

The Rockstud collection features handbags, shoes and watches all decorated with the distinctly sexy stud.

This pair of black patent leather kitten heel pumps feature the trademark studs on pale rose straps, giving a simply elegant and intriguing finish. The triple buckle ankle closure carries the studs right up the ankle, whilst the pointed toe elongates the leg.

Wouldn’t these look just lovely under the Christmas tree? We think so!
