Boden Alice High Heel | Corporette

Coffee Break: Alice High Heel

Oooh: I love the look of these high heels from Boden — I love the way the T-strap doesn’t come all the way up to to the ankle, as some do, but instead sits lower on the vamp of the foot, which is a much more flattering look. I’m more a fan of the solid/colorblocked…
