[1] Yes I'm the idiot who bolted [2] out of a show at Paris Fashion Week two seasons ago because I felt so completely out of place and that show happened to be Junko Shimada [3].  So therefore, I missed the parade of platformed espadrilles (yes that shoe related 'e' word makes it's Style  Bubble debut today...) festooned with florals.  So therefore I didn't even spot them until I came across this wonderful image shot by Louise Enhorning [4] in the editorial 'The Surreal World' in the new issue of Nylon [5], styled by Shino Itoi.  The orange flowers bloom ever so nicely against the orange tights and stark white shoe. 

With the appearance of detachability between flowers and shoes, it does give me no choice but to seek out a DIY option on these.  Of course, stealing plastic blooms from the local caff and glue-gunning them onto a pair of cheapie platforms isn't the way.  The mind will continue to 'bloom' though and hopefully something less ... um... 'pound-shop' will come about...
