| Zoraide Bootie |
OK, well, the title may be a bit dramatic... There will always be a need for a sexy nail thin stiletto heel out there, and even if the chunky platform heel is trending right now, I don't expect to see Charlize rocking that fatty heel Zoraide bootie with her bias cut Dior to any premiers. That being said, The stiletto seems to have become a cop out shoe for every girl, and fashion people are revolting with a chunkier alternative.

While designers Marc Jacobs, and Miuccia Prada played with the proportion of the heel for fall and went with a 1940's via the 60's with a hint of 90's flashback, some like Phillip Lim put a modern twist with a pointy toe, and ankle strap, and Tom Ford went complete LUXE with a crocodile spine down the front of his gold platforms.

| Louis Vuitton Platform |
While looking at Style.Com's
Accessory Index, it was easy to see that the spindly heel wasn't the major story for Fall, and while the designers just showed, and these shoes wont be in stores until at least mid summer, a quick browse around Nordrdstrom's
Jeffrey Campbell page, and
Aldo Shoes showed that even though this is a huge trend for Fall 2012, the look is totally summer ready! Yes, jacket's and chunky sweaters will finish this look perfectly, but think about the Thicker heeled sandals like Paco Rabanne, or even the Louis Vuitton stud finished platforms with cut off jeans, and a tank top! I LOVE the idea of a cropped slim trouser with Bally's Oxford.
So even though we will never truly be saying R.I.P. to the stiletto heel, I think now is the perfect time to play with a "new" shape!
