Prada Flower-Heel Mary Jane

I though the Prada fall 2007/08 shoes were amazing. They were innovative and have influenced the shoe market somewhat. But the spring 2008 shoes are a different kettle of fish so to speak. They're definitely more art than fashion forward wear. Case in point, these Prada Flower-Heel Mary Janes which appeared on the runway. They will set you back a tidy $750, but they're made from purple and green velvet with green patent leather trim. Sure the bow detail is cute, but there is just something so retro and hippy-dippy about the crushed-look velvet. And the heel... well it just reminds me of something the step-sisters would wear while torturing Cinderella.

Though on the Neiman Marcus site, it does say that a customer can only order "no more than 3 units of this item every 30 days". So maybe I'm alone in my thoughts, though I don't mind some of Prada's other Spring 2008 shoes.

I thought it was 'ugly shoe of the week' :)

It took me a long time to see "flower". It sure looked like "stepped into something disgusting" for quite a while there for me.

The front of the shoe is meh, as well. At least I can see that they were trying to be creative, credit for that, but no credit card.

Perfect ugly sister shoes, don't you think?

Wow! Gross. It looks like the heel is covered in dog crap! Aside from the colour and design on the "flower", the heel is just an ugly shape. These shoes are just ugly.
