I didn’t realise when I wrote about my new Louboutin Moulamax boots that they already had a bit of an online reputation. They received quite a lot of press coverage earlier this year, pre-launch, when stylist Samantha McMillen posted an Instagram showing what happened when she ran her hands over the sequinned finish. The sequins flipped from silver to rainbow as her fingers moved over the surface of the boots, and she dubbed it “unicorn skin”.

That somehow passed me by – perhaps because I have developed an inbuilt filter that mutes any mention of unicorns, mermaids and cupcakes – but here I am nonetheless, many months later, the proud owner of some pretty outrageous disco-tastic sequinned boots. I’ve fallen more in love with them as the week has progressed, partly due to the fact that I can now – after a bit of practice – walk in them without adopting that weird, bent-over posture that you have to do when you’re wearing heels that are too high to handle. You know when you look as though you have a lower back pain problem and/or an invisible bank safe strapped across your shoulders" I am now fully upright in them and only totter when something small, like a toddler or a cat, darts between my ankles.
So yeah, the Christian Louboutin Unicorn Boots are getting better every day. And now I know what  I’ll wear them with, it’s only a matter of time before they actually make it out of the house. As promised,...
