Christian Louboutins for Under $200 - Who You Kidding?

Filed under: Shoes

Ain't Nothing like the real thing, baby! Photo courtesy of Christian Louboutin

Lately, there's been a proliferation of sites (christianlouboutinus.com, buylouboutins.com, louboutinsale.com) offering the most coveted shoes for under $200.

Your initial reaction is probably to fling your laptop/baby/coffee and grab your credit card faster than Speidi shows up to the opening of an envelope.

But buyer beware! Not only will you get ripped off if you buy these fakes (the pictures may be real, pulled from the Neiman Marcus or Saks site), but the shoes you'll receive will be about as authentic as Lisa Rinna's lips.

Kiefer Sutherland Update - Brooke Shields Blames Her 6" Heels!

Filed under: Style in the News

Kiefer Sutherland was officially charged with assault earlier today after turning himself in to NYC's 1st Precinct. The charges against the "24" star stem from his supposed headbutting of Jack McCollough -- half of design duo Proenza Schouler -- who pressed charges against Kiefer according to WWD.

The altercation, as we previously reported, occurred at an afterparty at SubMercer in New York City following the Met's Costume Institute Gala on Monday night. According to the AP, Jack claims he was attacked by Sutherland after an argument, and left with an injured nose.

Brooke Shield's has been thrust into the middle of the whole debacle since Kiefer was supposedly provoked when McCollough bumped Brooke's drink, though the The NY Daily News reported that her reps told TMZ "she was jostled, but nothing happened to her."

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Must Haves

Caged Heels Are Hot for Spring!

Filed under: Shoes

Cage heels are sort of like gladiators, taken to the next level. And you can expect to see them all over this spring. They might not catch on as rapidly as the gladiators did since they're a bit harder to wear, but you can bet that any good fashionista has these on her '09 must-have list!

Could Those Killer Heels Get You Mugged?

Filed under: Style in the News, Shoes

stilettoAs much as we admire a chic, sexy stiletto, a new report has us giving our choice of footwear some thought. Reportedly, Los Angeles purse snatchers are going after ladies wearing high heels because they're unlikely to be able to run. And yes, we know some women are able to hit a fairly decent speed in four inch heels (Sarah Jessica Parker, we're talking about you), the truth is, most of us are considerably slower in stilettos.

Stuart Weitzman defends flat shoes because 'cool' is as exciting as 'sexy'

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes


While reading the inflght magazine on a Delta flight recently we were pleasantly surprised by this response from iconic stiletto designer Stuart Weitzman to the question "but will flats ever be sexy?":
No, they're not supposed to be sexy . . . but you don't always have to be the sexiest you can be. I think if a woman tries to do that all the time, you start to not notice it anymore. Flat shoes are not sexy, but they're cool, and it's just as exciting to be cool as it is to be sexy.
It's sage style advice that's not limited to shoes, and we just love him for it. It's wonderful when a designer doesn't have his head permanently in the fantastical clouds created by the world of fashion. He also admits that runway shows and the press (ahem) exaggerate the popularity of heels - it turns out that flats outsell heels 5-to-1. We're not surprised by this at all - a cursory glance at our closet proves it.

Do you agree with Stuart Weitzman - are flats cool?

Crocs get ... stylish?

Filed under: Shoes

Dangerous Diva Crocs
Looks like the Crocs haters have finally gotten through to the company that brought the garden clog into mainstream fashion (and, as far as we're concerned, contributed to the downfall of civilization at the same time). Crocs has started a new line, YOU by Crocs, which is designed to appeal to those who are both fashion conscious and in need of a comfortable shoe. But, as we've already mentioned, we're not buying.

No more sky-high heels ever!

No matter how many of her black and white films we see on AMC or glance over the tons of iconic images featuring her signature deep eye brows and drawn on lips, there's only one thing that comes to our mind when we think of film legend Joan Crawford: "No wire hangers ever!"

Crazy cravings: Purple Suede Boot Lust

Filed under: Runway Trends, Accessories, Shoes

Seeing purple everywhere for fall has somehow invaded our brain and now we can't stop thinking about purple suede boots.

Even though they are completely impractical for the San Francisco winter rains we are sure to experience, we're so tempted to get a pair to wear on the rare clear day. They are dressy yet can go casual, and make a very definite fashion statement: Fear Not Color On Your Feet!

Up to the knee or gracing our ankles, sky high or in a more moderate medium heel, round, pointy or open-toed, you can find the purple suede boot that is perfect for you.

In the gallery, our top five choices. Now we just have to figure out which ones we can afford. As good as the Jimmy Choos look, at $1,395 it would be the boots or food -- we just can't afford both!

Uber-high heels - Is pain the price of fashion?

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes

Not all fashionistas wear heels, but we doubt any stylish woman's eyes don't light up a little when she sees a really beautiful stiletto. Really high heels are really a work of art -- as is walking in them. But, that's not stopping women around the world from reaching for heels that have half a foot or more of height.

Shoes of the day - Lourdes by Pour la Victoire

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Must Haves


We never thought we'd say this, but you NEED a pair of red patent heels with purple suede trim. These shoes from Pour la Victoire are so beautifully executed that we can't decide if they have a sexy bondage-thing going on, or if they're an update of the preppy look. Perhaps it's because they're a successful mix of both, but we can't stop staring. And isn't that the point of dressing up?
