Introducing The Shoe Addict
So, I'm new to blogging but most definitely not new to shoes. My sister and I have a huge love for shoes and between us both have circa 1000 pairs of shoes (yaaaay!). Our shoes range from designers, high street brands, to even unfamiliar new designers. So if you have any shoe questions, regarding comfort, heel height, width type or pretty much anything, don't be afraid to ask. I don't bite!
About The Shoe
I have been in love with Christian Louboutin's Bianca shoes from the moment I set my eyes on them.
The Bianca Platform Pumps come with a front platform and a heel height of 140cm in a range of beautiful colours and sizes. From the gorgeous shiny patent leather to the amazing comfort and instant height boost it gives you, these shoes are a MUST HAVE! They have been worn by many celebrities such as Megan Fox, Christina Ricci, Halle Berry, Hilary Duff, Blake Lively and of course, Paris Hilton!
Size Matters
The only problem was, I was struggling to find them in my size. I am a true size 5 (UK) and a European 38. I eventually found the Bianca shoes in London, Louboutin Boutique, however found the size 5 to be far too big for me. My feet would slip out from the back although they fit quite well from the front. I had heard a lot of hearsay having read a few reviews about the Bianca shoes (courtesy of my sister) and found that other women believed you should purchase them in a size smaller than your actual size.
I Found The Holy Grail
So I was causally shopping in Manchester City Centre at Harvey Nichols this weekend with my sister and I couldn't believe my luck when I saw the Bianca shoes in stock! I practically ran to the counter and asked for a size 4.5 (UK). I felt the doors to heaven had opened when the Sales Assistant came back and told me they were available and the last pair! Having tried them on in a 4.5 (UK) I have to admit they fit perfectly. They were snug and unbelievably comfortable considering the heel is 140cm! Again, I'd like to remind you I am a true size 5 (UK) and they fit me perfectly in a size 4.5.
Overall Size Advice
My general advice to anyone purchasing the Bianca shoes, would be to buy them in half a size smaller than their size, unless your feet are slightly wide, in which instance you may very well need to purchase them in your true size. Do not buy these shoes without trying them on as if I had purchased the size 5 from the Louboutin website directly, I would have regretted my decision.
Now for the good part...
What Can Bianca's Be Worn With?
Here's the good news... These shoes (dependant on the colour bought) can be worn with various outfits. I purchased mine in Patent Black so can wear them with almost anything! Dresses, leggings, skinny jeans, skirts, chinos, you name it! I would recommend buying them in either Black or Nude Patent as you can utilise the shoes by teaming them up with several different cute outfits for multi occasions.

Bottom line is, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THESE GORGEOUS SHOES! They make my legs look endlessly long and I stand at 5'6! They are seriously not coming off of my feet for at least a month!
Ciao for now!
