One of the best things about kids clothing is the adorable range of minature shoes, based on the popular versions owned by their parents.
Writing for other parenting sites means I come across a lot of these on a daily basis. Take the mini uggs on the right. I've seen these pop up a lot recently, but they really are too cute to ignore. They're available in pink, tan, and leapord. They're only £44.99 too, much more affordable than their bigger brothers.
A good champagne demands a stylish drinking vessel, and what could be classier than a crystal flute designed by Christian Louboutin?
The opulent glasses, which were specially designed for Piper-Heidsieck champagne, are made in the shape of a shoe featuring Louboutin's iconic red sole. They celebrate the historic French tradition of 'Le Rituel' which involved a man drinking from a woman's shoe. It sounds downright kinky to me, but apparently that was once considered the ultimate declaration of love among the French aristocracy.
If you'd like to drink from Louboutin's shoes, you'll need to book a table at Mews of Mayfair where the glasses are in use. Whatever you do, don't get tiddly on the bubbly and drop one: they're priceless items.
What do you get the girl who has got more shoes then sense? Shoe accessories! Or rather, accessories covered in or shaped like a pair of sultry heels.
Top of my list are the 'Foot in the Door' doorsteps on the right. No more slamming doors with these footwear inspired door wedges, which are a much classier alternative to the usual cheese style wedges.
They're £6.99 from IWOOT.com and come in red or black.
If your love of shoes extends beyond merely putting them on your feet and you appreciate the footwear form enough to want to look at it all day, then these stylish, contemporary 'shoe stencils' could be for you.
Created on the rather wonderful premise of the fairytale princess developing a shoe fetish in the years of her happily ever after, the 'Cinderalla goes shopping' stencils create a convincing trompe l'oeil effect on the surface of your choice, and take just a few minutes to complete. You could arrange them on a staircase, as shown here, pop a pair on a salvaged and re-painted stool for a shabby-chic look, or perhaps just paint them on the back of your wardrobe to instantly expand your shoe collection! The ideas are endless...
Socks and summer aren't generally two words which run together nicely. But in the case of a UK summer (remember, that's a different kettle of fish folks!), adding socks to an outfit can create a landmine of summer styling options, especially for those days when you're just not sure how long the sun is going to stay out and play, or for those cooler evenings when that itty bitty skirt and heels somehow aren't going to keep the pins warm. In this vid, Zara and Isabelle get experimenting with different socks from Topshop, Tightsplease and Bebaroque - check it out and see what you think!
I think I've found some boots for fall 09, please! Going backstage at Tory Burch was such a treat, not just because the designer is so lovely and gracious, but because I got to see all the shoes and bags and jewelry up close! Check out some of my pics!
Those of us in the UK have been dealing with snow rather than rain this week, but when rain is the order of the day and you don't want your pretty shoes (or even boots) to get ruined, this product is for you.
It's called "Shuella" and it bills itself as an "umbrella for shoes". The difference between this and a pair of galoshes, say, is that the "Shuella" will fit over any height of heel, so you can keep your stilettos on and slip this over the top of it. When you're out of the rain, you just take them off, wipe them down with the cloth supplied with them, fold them into their pouch and pop them into your handbag. There's a variety of colours to choose from, and they cost $49.95 per pair. Get them here.
