So mums up and down the country are up-in-arms about these mock-stiletto shoes – called Heelarious – for babies aged 0-6 months. They’re apparently a fun way for babies to play dress-up (do four month old babies even know what “dress-up” is?!)
Those who are “shocked” say it’s sexualising children, and making them grow up too fast. Not sure about you, but I haven’t a flipping clue what I was wearing at four months old anyway… so I don’t really think it bared any relevance on my adult sex life.
And as for those “shocked” parents, I don’t see anyone forcing you to buy the shoes. So get over it!

To get your view from across the pond, Miss London Party will be your guide. Every week, she’ll be casting her eye over the big stories happening with the Brits. From fashion to entertainment to current affairs to politics, she’s got you covered. A Londoner born and bred, she’s worked as a journalist for two of the UK’s biggest broadcasters, and is currently presenting daily TV news — so she’ll be giving you an inside view on events. In her free time, she likes sitting in the pub on a Sunday afternoon, going through the newspapers, drinking a glass (actually a bottle) of wine, and tucking into a good ol’ English roast. Cliched, but true! She plays netball, swims and is ever so slightly addicted to trashy US shows on her cable TV.
