Shoekins has excelled this season with lots of new styles in small sizes to tempt the petite fashionista.  Take these fabulous ballet flats, above.  The looks has been around for a while, but it shows no sign of going away, especially after Carla Bruni worked the look so elegantly on her recent visit to Britain with her new husband, the President of France!  These ones are absolutely on trend by ticking the boxes for patent leather and bright colour.  Note, too, the discreet heel.  Most petite women like a little bit of a lift, but there are also good health reasons for favouring a small heel over absolute flats; they put less strain on the achilles tendon.  So much for the science bit, what we love about these shoes is that they'll give a sharp fashion edge to skinny jeans, or a demure touch to a pretty dress.  Perfect!

Sometimes shoe lovers need a little something extra.  A touch of glamour, of unashamed luxury.  So how about these fabulous shoes?  They look gorgeous as it is, but the embellished heel is something else again.  So if you're in the mood to turn heads, take a look at this season's collection at Shoekins!
