These Zara party shoes have an actual waiting list

If you're looking for those perfect party heels for this festive season, then search no more: I've found them (and the party bag to go with them). They are by Zara and are already so popular that they have a waiting list. And they've not even launched yet.

The lilac pointed heeled sandals are just the right side of the 80s trend, and as proven by the model in the shot, look just epic with a rainbow sequinned dress.

At just £39.99 a pop, you don't need to ask yourself too many questions either, but in case you were wondering, yes you can wear them with a more muted white shirt and satin skirt, and yes, I would wear them with cute metallic socks.

You can sign up to be notified of the launch, but I can tell you they will land online on Sunday, and the Zara team expects them to sell out very quickly, so if you're keen, be quick.

Now they are a little on the high side with a 10cm heel, but then again you'll probably just wear them in the evening, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
