R eaders, I am in love. Head over heels. Or, to be more precise, heel over heels - given that it is Shoe Love we're talking about here. (Much the best kind. When was the last time a shoe forgot your wedding anniversary? Left the loo seat up? Made a rude comment about your mother? See!) The curious thing about this Omega Watch Replica particular romance is that I have owned these heels for six months, only lately realising - kaboom! - that we were made for each other. It's a bit like looking up from filing your nails and realising that, yes, Graham really is rather dishy, even though you've known him for years and discounted him on account of his honking laugh and peculiar taste in shirts.

This shoe, since you ask, is more of a boot. In fact, it's a hybrid. A suede (very now) ankle boot with a peep-toe. I know it sounds beyond idiotic, but it happens to be the incomparable shoe of the season, second only to Pierre Hardy's clumpy suede platform boots at Gap, which are about to be so ubiquitous in certain postcodes that you'll be sick of the sight of them come Halloween.

My boots, by contrast, are rather more delicate. They mince rather than stomp. And, another surprise, they look rather fetching worn with an over-the-knee black dress, my still-tanned summer legs and a slash of lipstick. If pushed, I would say that I am channelling the fierce look that is doing the rounds. If pushed further, I would admit that wearing ankle boots with a dress has a foreshortening effect, truncating one's legs in a manner that is not immediately desirable. But this is a trend, my sweets, requiring you to hang up your preconceptions and dive headlong into the new.

There are several aspects to these Love Boots which make them so perfectly judged for this particular week in 2009. First up, as mentioned, they are made of suede - a fabric that has been languishing in the doghouse of style for some time, but now looks right again.

You'll find it at Burberry (that gorgeous trench by Christopher Bailey); or you might fancy the shorts at Chloe, worn with frilled boots. Similarly, the ankle boot - though fashionable for a number of years now - is again the definitive footwear of the season. So, it all makes sense. Apart, you cry, from the peep-toe. Quite why one would want to carve a sun-roof out of an ankle boot is beyond me, other than to make it look eye-catching amid the battalions of boots out there, all vying for the consideration of your overstretched and underfunded credit card. But, somehow, the
embroidered patches peep-toe works.

The other stroke of genius you may notice about my Love Boots is that, while Etro is pushing a pair for e528, mine were bought on a whim, from La Redoute mail order, for under e58. They arrived and I laughed, not yet realising that the future would be theirs. I stashed them in the cupboard and ignored them, much as I might have stashed Graham in the kitchen and ignored him while I busied myself with more appealing options. But the boots bit back. I haven't taken them off - bar bed and bath - for a week. I can't say that I'll love them for ever, but right now? We're an item.
