Fourth Edition: The Pointy Toe Stiletto Pump
I was ecstatic when platforms made a comeback about 9 years ago, then 5 years later they were the ultimate shoes to have. Every designer had an amazing sexy pair of super high shoes. Some were uncomfortable, but easier to walk in with the support of the platform at the front of the heel.

However, in the last year or so, we have gradually seen the demise of the platform and the return of the ever so classic pointy toe stiletto pump. This stiletto is that shoe that never really goes out of style but always lingers in the background. Beside them squeezing your toes (then again beauty is pain) they are truly the shoes to have. The stiletto heel dates back to the 19th century and have been recreated by numerous designers over the years. Valentino, Prada, Gucci, Christian Louboutin have all given their platforms styles the backseat and placed the focus on this classic.

Agatha of Irony of Ashi is an absolutely stunning Style blogger. Here she is in green stiletto bow pumps.

The reason why I believe this is such an important trend for Spring is because even with the warmer weather coming in we are seeing more and more stilettos at store fronts of all the major retail stores. Its silhouette has proven to be timeless and for this Spring season we are seeing it in every major spring color like green, yellow, white and blue!

White pumps are a dare because they have the tendency to get dirty fast, however they make any outfit look ultra chic.

Spikes add a modern edge to the classic blue pump. Check out this uber chic pump with studs. Loubs of course!

Regardless of the material, yellow shoes are perfect for the season and better on pumps!

The pointy- toe is also being featured in various prints and fabrics like floral prints and lace fabrics; truly highlighting Spring 2014 trends.
My blue lace print pumps are my favorite, they always add a little extra to an outfit!

Floral pumps scream spring ready.

In most shoes styles, the higher the heel the sexier the shoe. However, the pointy-toe pump is the exception. Due to its slim silhouette, this shoe has proven to be sexy regardless of its height.

In only a 3.5 heel height, these pumps still manage to remain sexy and spice up this outfit.

Here’s an up close look at the fab shoes!

Alongside the midi skirt, this trend celebrates femininity, eliminating the bulkiness of the platform and replacing it with a slimmer, more delicate form. The pump also has the ability to elongate your legs making it a great option for shorter women. Tall or short, the pointy- toe pump has created a presences this season and in order to fully be on trend, grab a pair at your shopping destination of choice because every store  and brand is loving it.
