So say you’re going out for a night on the town, full of drinking and debauchery, that promises to be THE night of the year. How are you going to prepare for such a spectacle? I mean, most importantly, what are you going to wear? Sure, most guys can just throw on a t-shirt and some jeans, but all the ladies out there know that that’s just not going to cut it at the bar scene. Nope, you’ve got to find the perfect blend of casual, yet fashionable when getting dressed for such an evening. And what does that boil down to? A good pair of stilettos, naturally. Uncomfortable, yet stylish high heels are a party essential for all you trendy ladies out there. So just how are you supposed to survive a boozy night on stilts?

All you have to do is pack the Tipsy Feet (Drinkstuff, £19.95) in your clutch, and you’re good to go. See, someone has finally come up with the brilliant idea of supplying fashion conscious women with ballet flats as an alternative to toe squishing heels for the end of the night. I know, I know, ballet flats are old news. But what about the fact that these flats are packed up in a teeny tiny matching bag that you can stuff in your purse? That’s right, you can bring your extra pair of shoes to the bar with you, so when you’re ready to go at the end of the night, you can just pull them out of your purse and slip them on. But wait, what about your lovely high heels, what are you supposed to do with them? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered there too. The small bag that holds the flats unfolds to form a larger bag, suitable for carrying your heels (and perhaps even your purse). The shoes are available in black, silver, and gold, and each color comes in sizes small, medium, and large.

Come on, how awesome is this idea?! Finally, someone understands what it’s like to try to balance on four inch Jimmy Choos after you’ve had one Long Island Iced Tea too many. It’s just an accident waiting to happen. My only issue with these shoes is that they’re stated as being for emergencies only and not for day to day use. So when exactly do they run out of steam? I mean, a girl’s gotta be able to plan her weekend…
