Barbara Bui Marilyn Snakeskin Peep Toe Platform
When I first saw these I thought, meh, I’ve seen this done a thousand times. The black peep toe sling back on a wooden heel is done every year and I never seem to warm up to the look because I don’t like wearing things that 1000 other people (including mortal enemies) may be wearing. … Continue reading “Barbara Bui Marilyn Snakeskin Peep Toe Platform”
Charlotte Olympia Leopard-Print Linen Wedge: The Wildcat Goes Girly
For some – like me – there is no such thing as too much leopard. Just don’t wear it all at once! (Did anyone see Nicky Minaj at the Grammys?!) Olympia, who believes a woman should never compromise glamour or comfort, is known for her skyscraping yet wearable high heels and this is no exception. … Continue reading “Charlotte Olympia Leopard-Print Linen Wedge: The Wildcat Goes Girly”

I … Continue reading “Pedro Garcia Grey Suede And Canvas Wedge: A Risk I’m Willing To Take”

I should comment on how silly the heel made of stark white is, I mean, eventually, you are going to step in something. Though all signs point to a no-go… I LOVE these. Damn … Continue reading “Pedro Garcia Piper White Toscana Heels: My Great White Shoe Debate”
Giambattista Valli Flower-Detail Ankle-Wrap d’Orsay: Flower Power
When I first saw these, I thought they looked like they were out of a fairytale. The suede with two- toned flower covering it is delicate, yet understated because of its color. This shoe is unique in that it pulls off the (sometimes obnoxious) flower look subtly. These would be the perfect compliment to a … Continue reading “Giambattista Valli Flower-Detail Ankle-Wrap d’Orsay: Flower Power”
Valentino Shoes Pre-Fall 2011
High on the heels of its runway success Rock Stud collection, Valentino greatly expanded its said offerings for pre-fall, applying the metal studs generously–but not in an overboard manner–to a wide assortment of shoes and bags (see Bag Snob entry for more details). The signature studded slingback is back–this time with a new ankle strap–in … Continue reading “Valentino Shoes Pre-Fall 2011”
