Wood you dare?

As Marilyn Monroe said, I don't know who invented the high heel, but all men owe him a lot. Well, whoever invented the wooden platform is in dire need of some credit too! The options for wooden platforms are endless this spring. Sky-high, wedge, strappy or sling-back, there is a pair for everyone (and they are very comfortable too!)

Try these luxurious, stamped leather sling-back Miu Miu sandals. The sky-high heel (6 inches!) fabulously compliments your legs and gives you serious supermodel height. ($445)

Where do I even begin with these Bottega Veneta crocodile wedges? Although not necessarily wood, these super-size stacked heels need to be included. They look great with a flowy printed dress or even paired with the must-have “boyfriend” denim cut-offs. ($1,650)

The delicious, chocolate-brown shade of these Marni leather platforms oozes style for spring. Try a bohemian look by pairing these beauties with a printed maxi dress and some round shades. ($735)
