Object of Desire: Liftoff wedge heels, Rocket Dog

Don’t you love it when something drops into your inbox that wasn’t even on your season’s wishlist but you immediately Have. To. Have. It?

These puppies from Rocket Dog fall firmly into that category:

This autumn it is all about the wedge heel for me. I’m done tottering around on uncomfortable platform heels with an ever increasingly heavy baby on my hip; I’ll leave that to Mrs. Beckham.

These beauties will be a firm nod to the AW12 ‘opulent trend’ and will add a pop of print to my monochromatic uniform (black skinnies, white shirt, grey oversized cashmere cardi).

Also, it’s Country Bebe’s christening next month and I’m hoping they are going to save my dress from looking too funerial:

The only problem is I’ve rather fallen for them in this delicious cassis velvet, too. Sigh.
