Nina Ricci's perspex heeled shearling shoe boots

At first glance, these decadent Nina Ricci heels appear to have been caught in an ice storm, their heels freezing over into gigantic icicles. But on closer inspection they reveal a theme even more festive and seasonal: they're decorated with two turtle doves whose wings overhang the back and sides of the heel. Wow.

Much as I love a shoe boot, I can't help feeling a little disappointed that Ms. Ricci didn't opt to plant these gorgeous statement heels on the bottom of a slightly more elegant shoe: perhaps a delicate little D'orsay or classic court. But worn against an identical black background of thick tights, I can see how these close-fitting boots will create the most incredible, gravity defying effect. For once in my life, I wish the website I found them on did model shots!
