We all know how much The Diva loves her killer high heels and she was astonished when she heard about a course at a college in south London offering courses in how to walk in high heels.

Five women between the ages of 16 and 50 enrolled on the six week course at South Thames College where they were taught how to get the perfect high heel walk. Run by Chyna Whyne, the course also looked at the Alexander Technique to help women move more naturally and improve posture, which helps to reduce the risk of developing back pain from wearing high heels.

The Diva loves the sound of this! Not only do you get to learn how to walk better in high heels but it’s also really good for your health too. If you don’t have time for the course, here are some of Whyne’s tips:

1. Foot exercises – do ankle rotations, pointing and flexing, and rising on the balls of the feet
2. Make sure you buy the right size of shoe
3. Lead with the ball of your foot when walking and keep your feet slightly turned out
4. Relax the knees or your lower back can lock
5. Understand the Alexander Technique

The nautical trend was everywhere in spring and now it’s set to be just as big into summer, with it’s funky palette of blue, white and red, it’s a vibrant yet sophisticated array of colours that are just perfect for summer. Typically a tailored and smart look making use of stripes and polka dots, the sailor girl look is the perfect style for day to night.

Here are some key shoes, bags and accessories that work well with the nautical trend.

Ladies’ wedges seem to have really made a comeback this summer and they are perfect with the sailor girl style, we have lots of hessian and cork wedges in nautical colours and striped patterns.

Flat shoes and canvas pumps pull off this trend easily for a casual look, there’s so many blue, red and white flat pumps and sandals with nautical detailing and designs.

These nautical inspired bags are a perfect touch to any sailor girl look, in lovely nautical colours of blue, red and white, and adorned with some cute embellishments.

This time “Spot VLD” takes a look at Viva La Diva featured in Style’s Sex And The City feature, showcasing the Bourne Lana Platform Clogs in the style of Samantha. These fashion clogs have a chunky sole and heel in an off-white snakeskin and jewel trimmed metalwork.

They might be one of the oddest shoe trends of the summer but fashion clogs are certainly making a name for themselves in the shoe world. Taking a traditional shoe shape and adding a contempoary twist, fashion clogs have created a shoe that is definitely a must have this season.

Fashion clogs come in all kinds of shapes and colours. This summer fashion clogs with platform soles and chunky wooden heels seem to be everywhere, especially in a sandal design that are perfect to wear with this season’s boho chic trend. You’ll also find other fashion clogs with smaller heels and closed toes that lean more towards the classic shoe shape.

From nautral earthy colours like brown, orange and beige to vibrant shades like purple, green and red, fashion clogs come in so many colours, as well as many with lovely prints like floral clogs.

Here’s a selection of fashion clogs from the Viva La Diva website.

She’s known for her eccentric style and Lady Gaga certainly stayed true to her colours this weekend after being spotted wearing some rather unusual high heels…heel less shoes! With huge platforms and no sign of a heel, it’s quite astonishing that she could actually walk in these heeless shoes.

But she’s not the only celebrity to be seen in these heeless shoes, Posh has also previously been spotting wear some rather unusual heels in a similar style. The Victoria Beckham heeless shoes first set the trend back in 2008 so maybe Lady Gaga is trying to bring back a revival…?!

Ok, so you might love these unusual high heels but they’re probably a little bit OTT, celebrities might be able to pull it off but it just doesn’t quite have the same effect. Take a look at these fabulous United Nude shoes on the Viva La Diva website that include some really funky and less “in your face” styles of heel less shoes.

They’re not quite a shoe and not quite a sandal but there’s something about cuff sandals that The Diva finds rather fascinating and simply wonderful. Very much in line with the gladiator sandals trend, sandals with cuffs have evolved from this season’s must have sandal with a strappy sole and thick cuffs.

They’re the perfect sandal for everyday use and more towards casual than dressy, but cuff sandals look great with leggings, hareem pants, jeans and even skirts and dresses to create a casual glam or boho chic look.

Here’s a selection of cuff sandals on the Viva La Diva website…
