You can tell how old someone is by the way they feel about New Year’s Eve. If they display even a modicum of excitement, then they’re under 25. The older we become the more we tend to dread it – it can be anti-climatic, high-pressurised and it’s dependably expensive.

We are now spoilt when it comes to jazzy flats. Women have been conditioned to think that heels make an outfit, taking any respective outfit up a notch in the glamour stakes. Those days are long gone; we are now spoilt when it comes to jazzy flats born for parties and fun – Manolo Blahnik and Rupert Sanderson offer beautiful pointed styles in jewelled tones, while Alaia’s studded ballet pump continues to sell out time and time again.
