The Valentino Rockstud


On my most recent post, Perspexly Clear, this seasons’ updated version of the Valentino Rockstud pumps were top on my wishlist. I must admit, they have been for a very long time. If I could only have one heel (G-D forbid) they would be the one I would choose. I would stick to the classic version rather than the latest addition to the Rockstud collection so I wouldn’t be tied down to the perspex trend.

I have titled this post ‘The Valentino Rockstud’ and it says it all in my opinion. This heel is the epitome of all things beautiful. It is modern yet timeless at the same time – with its studded design and ankle straps; it lifts the classic pointed heel. Valentino have managed with ease to make studs classy and timeless which could otherwise be seen as too grunge. Valentino first brought out this heel some seasons ago yet it is still as popular as ever. You have the choice of either the 4inch heel or the 2.6inch kitten heel and for those of you who prefer to wear flats, there’s also the flat ballerina pump – all equally stylish.

This heel makes me feel like Valentino understands what the woman of the 21st century wants. We want to be fashion forward and out there but also want to invest in something that will see us through season after season. The fact that it appeals to a wide range of age groups (both myself and my mother-in-law are in love with them) doesn’t bother me in the slightest. I think that the most timeless and classy pieces are coveted by both mothers and daughters. In fact, when we are adding such an expensive piece to our wardrobe I’m sure most of us tell ourselves that it will stand the test of time and will be something we can pass down to our daughters – “it’s an heirloom!”

Having a pair of Valentino Rockstud on your feet is failsafe fashion and is a look you’ll fall back on time and time again. Whether you decide to go for the plastic pair or the classic pair, one thing’s for sure, is that you’ll be on-trend. Go on and get yours before someone else does. And why not add a Valentino Rockstud clutch to match while you’re at it?!
