Tod’s Cindy Ballerina

Shoes

Traveling by plane is always an adventure. Rarely does the experience go as smoothly as one is hoping. I recently experienced a 6 hour flight delay and didn’t get on my flight till 2 am! One of the things that I was grateful for while sitting in an uncomfortable chair for 6 hours was that I was dressed comfortably. In the past I have traveled with heels and my feet ended up killing me by the time I landed. I have learned my lesson …

Marc by Marc Jacobs Mouse Ballerina

Shoes

I’m not too sure how long the adorable-ness of these will last that will make someone spend $355 - but if you have the money who am I too judge. They are made with pony hair, wires for whiskers, beads for eyes and leather accents for that adorable nose. In my opinion, these are the only way mice look remotely cute – except …

Pure Gold High Heels

Shoes


This past weekend a jewelry shop was showcasing a a pair of high heels made of pure gold (up to 680g of it) in Wuhu, Anhui Province. There’s very little information available on the shoes, including who designed them (although we do know they’re Italian), how much they cost, or if there’s more than one pair in existence (and if not, what size is this pair?).

Although they are shiny and unique, I doubt they really expect anybody to wear …

Steve Madden ‘Richh’ Pump

Shoes


Polka dots have come a long way since the days of hip hop artist Kwame (anybody remember him?). And of course, polka dots have been around since before him, but that is my first encounter with polka dots being fashionable enough to wear. Like many others, the designers behind Steven Madden have been able to add a touch of sexiness to polka dots in the Richh Pump. The red platform heel and sole offsets the black nicely while adding a touch of vampiness. The 4″ heel will certainly make your legs …
