why red bottoms are red.



so what's the story with christian louboutin's signature red sole? per shoerazzi.com, the red sole came about by accident:

louboutin was working on a shoe in his studio when he felt something was missing. louboutin then “realized that the black sole of the shoe was too dark.” a nearby assistant was painting her nails red with chanel when louboutin grabbed it, painted the shoes' sole red and voilĂ ; the red sole was born.

there you have it.

mama needed a new pair of shoes.

so what did she do? she bought 2!

so what's up with the peep toe craze? i can dig it but i can barely find a shoe without an open toe. like these suede wedgies by bcbg. it was love at first sight. i guess i better stock up on some opaque socks and fishnets.


and i'm sure you've seen what i like to call the nana shoe trend. you know the shoes that look like someone's great, great grandma used to wear. not sure how much justice my iphone snapshot does for these but they are quite sexy. it was also love at first sight.


oh how i love shoe shopping.

i'm wearing my new boots today.



because it's raining and it's pouring and i'd rather be home snoring. but i'm up and at 'em. the weatherman says it's gonna rain all day and i really wasn't sure which side of the closet to pull from. although i'm pretty ready for fall fashion, part of me is reluctant to say farewell to flip-flops and linen.

mister boots.

i saw these boots and i immediately thought of mister. like as in the color purple mister. kinda funny. i'm kinda iffy about these but in general i'm digging the combat style boots trend. it screams comfort and chill. there's always gonna be room for the overtly-sexy look but i appreciate the covertly-sexy steeze once and a while too. could you rock these:



werner, steve madden, $159.95
what do you think? yay? nay?

christian siriano for payless, spring 2011.

word on the street is that christian siriano (my favorite winner from project runway) debuted his spring 2011 shoe collection for payless during new york fashion week.

i'll have to see it - in an actual payless store - to believe it




in the words of siriano himself: fierce!

sasha, $19.99, bakers

kinda cute, right? hubby copped them for me a couple of weeks ago on sale. simple and stylish - a great option when you want to ditch the heels.

take advantage of those end of the summer sales, girl. you still have a good month and half before the weather changes.

fouboutins.

that's what i call fake louboutins: fouboutins.

we all know that you can't find a pair of genuine louboutins for less than $595. but that hasn't stopped sites from popping up and selling fake versions for $400 and less. a 20/20 special that aired last week, according to style list, explores the growing number of websites that are selling fouboutins. 80% of the fakes, they say, come from china.

in response, christian louboutin has launched stopfakechristianlouboutin.com to raise awareness and expose the sites that are peddling the fouboutins.

as i read the article, it was evident that louboutin's approach to combat the issue was to target the suppliers. however, there was no mention of the consumers that knowingly buy fake merchandise. i mean, you'd have to be living in a bubble to think that you got lucky enough to score a pair of genuine louboutins for 100 bucks. i don't care how super the sale is. did not thousands of people make regular trips to canal street in nyc once upon a time to cop the best looking phony coach, gucci, louis vuitton items they could find. and you know the dude who is pushing that "designer ish" in the hair salon on saturday morning isn't selling no real fendi for $20.

my point: these sites aren't pulling the wool over our eyes. it's a recession and some folks want to look good by any means necessary. they'll buy good fakes. willingly. check the seams, make sure the g's on the wanna-be gucci are actually g's and boom, you got yourself a sell. personally, i wouldn't bother much but whatever floats your boat.

i still believe that every chick should have at least 1 pair of louboutins. i mean their just so splurge-worthy.

what real looks like ... yum!
