after inundating us with years' worth of wonderfully humongous heels, fashion's been trending towards littler leg lifts for several seasons now. but it was marc jacobs' fall 2010 collections (for both louis vuitton and his eponymous lines) that cemented their au currant currency. there's something very serene, very old-fashioned-femme, in wearing a kitten heel. it's at once a throwback and a way forward.

i've enjoyed pulling some old (nearly vintage!) favorites out of the back of my wardrobe, and have found them suddenly more alluring than ever before. these are the three i can't stop wearing:

{ glittering gold brocade beauties by prada }

{ black satin classics by christian lacroix }

{ shagreen stunners by helmut lang ~ i adore the humor & comfort provided by their rubber-band back straps! }

how do kitten heels make you feel? are you ready yet to find high style on a lower level?
