Heels - women hate them; women love them. Many people claim that a "man had to have invented them". I don't care - I love them. They give us better posture, make our legs longer, leaner, sexier and can really make or break an outfit. I don't know when they came into play, maybe 2 or so years ago, but I am absolutely in love with platform pumps. They are ridiculously tall, ridiculously stylish and ridiculously sexy, and I really want a pair in every color.

Yves Saint Laurent might have my favorite style of platform pumps: skinny, skinny heel, concealed platform and every fabulous color I could imagine. Victoria Beckham has a pair in every color and texture: matte, patent, suede. They exude glamour and sexiness and it is guaranteed that when you walk into a room wearing these shoes all eyes will be on you - and they'll be thinking very good things.

The platform pump can make a turn for the worse as you see in the purple T.U.K disaster above. The silhouette of the shoe is ruined. The sleek, sexy style gone. The glittery closed toed look that Steve Madden came out with are nice, except for one flaw, which takes the look from stylish to stripper in one line. The visible division of shoe and platform give off a hooker/stripper vibe and that is a look I do not recommend. Avoid the crazy details when it comes to your platform pumps - stick with classy, stick with sleek- play it up instead with colors and textures. And good God go high - just do a practice run in your living room first because nothing says hooker more than a girl on her back wearing a short dress (even if it is Herve Leger) with her legs up in the air.
