You gotta love them, the Vogue Paris editors (obviously I do!). Not only how they dress alike--despite all the fashion peacocking around the international runway shows-- but also how they stay true to their understated yet polished uniforms, anchored in jeans (which I've highlighted here before) and pointy-toe pumps. Photographed in Milan last week, they demonstrate that the black pump looks equally sexy with a high and low heel. I also have an affinity for these shoes, but they have to be the right kind, with a leg-enhancing heel height and foot-flattering cutaway. I swear by Christian Louboutin's Pigalle 100mm black pumps. In fact, I have them in the beige as well. They are forever shoes--i.e. the kind worth investing in. Other styles that hit the Gallic-chic spot: Gianvito Rossi's suede mid-heels (90mm), Jimmy Choo's patent leather kitten heels, Manolo Blahnik's classic BB pumps, Sole Society's black suede shoes, Topshop's straight-up version, and Alexander Wang's ankle strap kitten heels.
