The Charlotte Olympia Fall 2013 collection is aptly titled 'Once Upon a Time.' As some of its previewed shoes show, such as the Sleeping Princess Shoe and Happily Ever After Shoe, they take after classic fairy tales including 'Snow White,' 'Little Red Riding Hood' and more.
There are also more general designs in the Charlotte Olympia Fall 2013 collection. In one case, a high heeled platform shoe takes on the details of a story book while a pair of boots look like the top of a castle tower. Romantically spellbinding, the footwear line is appealing for many reasons. It is only natural that the similarly titled hit television show premieres this week as well. Girls can welcome it back in appropriate style.
