Kurt Geiger Carvela 'Jest' Sandals

Shoes are my biggest weakness but I somehow managed to go through my 4 years of a shoe obsession without a simple pair of black heels. Black is a colour that features heavily in my wardrobe but when it comes to shoes I like to have some form of colour. I prefer shoes that are a little more “out there” mainly because the rest of my wardrobe is so dull. Black sandals were never high up on my radar as, well, they’re a little boring.

It wasn’t until I stumbled across the Kurt Geiger Carvela 'Jest' Sandals that I decided it was time to finally buy a pair of "boring" black heels.

They’re simple yet elegant and have a tiny bit of an edge to them thanks to the snakeskin effect. The gold rectangle in the middle of each criss-crossing strap also adds some extra flair to the shoe. They’re not going to add a large amount of excitement to whatever outfit I choose to wear them with but I am thoroughly enjoying the understated class they give to my skinny jeans and leather jacket combo.

I try to not limit my shoes for certain events or time of day but I really do prefer these heels for the evening. They’re better suited to a night out or for a meal in any restaurant that has margaritas on the menu. I won’t be making any trips to buy Doritos in them that’s for sure.

The heel boasts my height by almost 5 inches and the zip fastening allows for easy access and an easy removal. There’s nothing more annoying to me than not being able to get the buckle undone on a shoe especially when you’re not exactly steady on your feet as it is (back to those margaritas again).

Weirdly I’ve avoided simple black heels for so long yet these heels are about to become my favourite pair of shoes. Perhaps I’ve spent too long wandering around in obnoxious shoes and I’m now down with boring old black heels or maybe it’s just because they’re new to me but either way, I’m beyond happy about accidentally finding these. Go Kurt Geiger!

P.S I can't work with this Scottish weather anymore. Give me some light!
