Moving on..

It's time for a change! I'm taking all of the high heels and all of the previous post, squeezing them into one huge moving box and taking them with me to my new place: heelsoholic.com

So now I''m ordering you to grab your stilettos and join me! :-)

Please? Pretty please? I've got cookies....

Ugly shoe of the week

It seems like light-up shoes aren't just for kids anymore!
The legendary Jimmy Choo took the concept of flashing and glowing sneakers for kids and then transferred the idea to high heels for adults.. It might have seem like a good idea at the time but in my opinion it just fell flat. What do you guys think?

The Lobsters!

Ever since I wrote about the Alexander McQueen "Lobster heels"  I just haven't been able to get them out of my head! They're so far from what I would ever wear but I still kinda like them... They've grown on me during the last couple of months and among with his Faithful bootie and Faithful peep-toe pump I think they're going to be the designs that I'll remember him for the most.
Therefore it's really nice to see that the Lobsters are now starting to show up on the red carpet :-)

Motivation: They're not just ugly, they're green!  (Yes, I've got a big problem with the color green...)

Beauty And The Beast

Due to the fact that I often see both gorgeous and horrible shoes from the same brand I decided that I have to write about the variation in design that can be found on the market. It's really entertaining to see how they stretch from really awful and ugly to true gorgeous and sucessful heels.

First out is Dsquared2, a brand that seems to really enjoy taking their designs to the limit. For example I've spotted the two pair of heels below and I could hardly believe that they're from the same brand...

The black studded sandals are just amazing and if I could afford then I would buy them right away. Just look at the heel!

Here on the other hand we have something that I'm highly unwilling to even call shoes. What's up with the color and why do the upper part look like an old skishoe?

Admit it, you've been waiting for this all week long haven't you?

I love patent leather pumps, I love the color pink (especially in combination with black) and I like peep-toes... And still these heels look horrible even from my point of view.

Cinderella

Raise a hand if you ever dressed out and pretended to be a princess from time to time when you were growing up.
Oh yes, I raised my hand too.. Although I have to say that it wasn't something I did a lot, I was more into boyish games and sports, but it did, indeed, happen. To tell you the truth this hasn't happened in maany maaany years (at least one.. ;-) ) But ever since I first saw the Cinderella heels from Fendi I've felt a very strong urge to become Cinderella for a night or two.

I think we all agree that transparant platforms is most suiteable for strippers and "exotic dancers" (I'm still trying to define the difference..) but come on, let's be honest here, you'd just love to try them on wouldn't you?
I'm overwhelmed by the first pair but they seem hard to find a price on anywhere.. The other pair isn't quite as romantic and fairytale-like but imo they still look amazing!
