Footwear Friday

Okay, here's a Freaky Friday Fun Fact: I really don't like ice cream much. Something about the salt content and how all that soda makes me crave gallons of water for a freaking fortnight. But what I DO like is cone heels. So, let's begin, shall wes?

Ahhh the Lanvin cone heel -- the daddy mack of them all. J'adore! They're not easy to get your hands on, but I did find a pair of the blue ones, and if you're a size 40, you're in luck.

($567, Lanvin, Marissacollections.com)

Sure, they're totally unwalkable, but if you're spending that kinda cash on heels, you probably can afford cabs. There are also a handful of pairs on eBay.

($278, Hugo, Zappos)

A gorgeous alternative to Lanvin, and they're patent leather too! Two trends for half the price of one!

($75, Na Na, Piperlime)

These are gorgeous -- and gorgeously priced -- in black too, but the olive is really unique.

($125, Vince Camuto, Piperlime)

The snakeskin, peep toe and chunky heel combine to make this shoe a sexy stunner.

($398, Tapeet, Zappos)

Another great chunky-heeled version in a metallic.

($28, Delicious, Lulusfashionlounge.com)

Simple, sexy, super affordable = sold.

($17.99, eBay)

Really can't argue with the price here.

($175, Report, Piperlime)

Simply beautiful.

($171, Fornarina, Zappos)

I'm not too into snakeskin, but I could certainly make an exception for these.

($138, daniblack, Zappos)

And I could absolutely make an exception for these...

($201, Via Spiga, Zappos)

Love the cut of these. They're sorta '80s rich-girl prepster in the best possible way.

($72, Pink Studio, Lulusfashionlounge)

How can you even tolerate how cute the polka dos are? Normally rosy tan and light blue is so vomitoriously kountry kitchen, but it works so perfectly here. A great work shoe.

($185, Miss Sixty)

I could probably do a week's worth of posts on Oxfords alone, but these are also great work wear.

($442, Costume National, Zappos)

As are these. Ultimate power bitch banker heel. Woo!

($89, Thom Browne)

And her opposite, the fun-lovin' hippie kid sister who comes to visit for the weekend and leaves crumbs everywhere.

($171, Fornarina, Zappos)

Fun and festive.

($25, Abate For Payless)

My Lord I love high-end/low-rent collabos!


... And finally... my two faves...

($175, Report Signature, Piperlime)

Oh yes. Yes yes yes. Oh yes indeed.


... And...

($625, Pucci, Net-a-porter.com)

Possibly the most best shoes ever in the universe and history of all shoes forever and ever amen.

Footwear Friday

Today I have the attention span of a melting ice. Or something. Anyway, I'm totes shoegasming over the following:
($355, Martin Margiela, Barneys)
I'm such a hypocrite, because I'm shoegasming over these Martin Margiela platforms. Helloooo -- the platforms are LUCITE, as better demonstrated here:

As seen on MonaMoore.com.


($290, Martin Margiela, Barneys)


($375, Martin Margiela, MonaMoore.com)
See, here I am again, hypocriting all over the place, since I normally hate T-straps. But I love these, and fortunately I have a very similar pair of Repettos that I got at Steven Alan for a wackataculous $35!


($242, Pierre Hardy, Alohahag.com)
These are just outstanding. I'd probably wear them every day for a month straight if I owned 'em. But I may just settle for buying these which I've had my eye on for months now:

($41, Jeffrey Campbell, Lulusfashionlounge.com)


Oh yeah, check out some more of Martin Margiela's rad designs here.


($306, Dries Van Noten, MonaMoore.com)
I'd even wear these with my pajamas.


($49.50, Nicole Ritter, Lulusfashionlounge.com)
It turns out that my cohort blogged about these ages ago. For once, we agree! (More disagreement to come as we're about to go head-to-head on a 'Binge -- stay tuned.) These also remind me of previously blogged-about Chie Maharas and F-Troupe.


Finally, and not related to footwear, I like this bag:
($30, Rampage, eBay)
Weeeee! Summer stripes!

Peace.
