Are pointy shoes back in fashion?

FOR the past few years, shoe lovers the world over banished their poined toe heels to their work wear piles or the back of their closets.

But quite suddenly the classic pointed shoe has appeared on the runways and wrapped around the feet of our favourite celebrities.

Rihanna

Beyonce

Camilla Belle

They've also hit the blogosphere:

Ashley Madekwe

Chiara Ferragni

Olivia Lopez

These wonderous pointy examples were spotted on runways in 2012.

Louis Vuitton

Antonio Marras

Sophie Theallet

I personally welcome back the pointy shoe with open arms! It seems like it was only yesterday they were the favoured choice and the thought of a round toe evoked visions of old ladies with kitten heeled T-strap round toe leather numbers. *shivers*

Granted it's not time to say goodbye to the round toe just yet, BUT here's some affordable pointed heels if you want to get the most out of this trend (which will hopefully be around to stay just to mix things up a bit).

Classy white @ ASOS.
