Good golly, these heels look like ankle-breakers of the highest-order. One slip and *whoosh!* your ankles are outta there! Which actress, who has been gaining her fashion stripes lately, was brave/insane enough to pair these stilettos with an outfit from Marc Jacobs' recently-shown Spring '09 collection?
One of Shoewawa's favourite shoe designers Jonathan Kelsey, has created a limited edition £50,000 shoe... yes, really. Don't believe me? Then check out this video above that he recently made for Grazia at Paris Fashion Week. The luxe shoe is made from crocodile, and features 18 carat gold and 16 carat diamond embellishment. Wowzers! Like any of us could afford such extravagance but if you happen to be one of the very fortunate few, then they are available now at David Morris boutiques.
As much as I love Pedro Garcia, I have to say they did a big no-no, taking the brand back to the start of the century with these Bertha pumps. Tweed accessories were all the rage as the allure of a new century was lingering, but have since gone well out of style and not due for a comeback any time soon. If these tweed may-janes, with their faux pearl and crystal detail were released just a mere 5 years ago, they would have been a smash, but alas someone at one of my favourite shoe brands has it a little wrong. As cute as these are, we can't imagine pairing them with jeans or a LBD this season, even with or with their £260 price tag.
Now while I would never suggest Alaia shoes appeal to just anybody at the best of times (personally for me, they = love), you have to admit even the biggest Alaia thrill-seeker might call these ponyskin platforms a challenge.
Black, white and ponyskin all over, they have a sculptured wedge heel not unlike those Marc Jacobs' backward heels from last year, except... chunkier. If they aren't getting you noticed (are you serious!?) then the 5-and-a-half inch heel definitely will. They're £1025 from Browns.
These shoes look super-summery to me, so I was actually a little surprised to find them in Net-a-Porter's 'new in' section, at a time when it tend to be filled mostly with boots and other "weather appropriate" shoes. These Roberto Cavalli Mary Janes, however, have mesh uppers in a nude colour, and are decorated with flowers on the toes and heels - they look to me like they'd be most at home tripping around some flower-filled meadow in midsummer (if you happened to live inside a TV commercial, of course), but on second glance, I guess they could also make great party shoes - if your skin is roughly the same colour as the mesh, you'll look like your feet are clad in nothing but flowers, which could be interesting to say the least!
While the characteristic sculpted platform and striking silhoette of these Nicholas Kirkwood shoes will no doubt appeal to those of you who love the designer's work, I think the fact they're made from the skins of lizards may be a problem for some of you, too. They come in grey, with a back zip-fastening and square toes, and Browns describe them as "works of art". Would you want to wear them, though? If the answer is "yes", they're exclusive to Browns, and will cost you £550.
Another day, another fab pair of Gucci boots for the always impeccable Kylie Minogue. She's been seen lately in different versions of the 'Devendra' fringed booties (both studded and ankle varieties), and now she's moving on to the 'Baboushka'. These studded beauties were very much the focal point of her chic all-black ensemble (aside from the lush teal bag of course) as she went on a shopping sojourn in Chelsea earlier this week.
