Pretty in Purple

I love the color purple. It is such a rich, pretty color. And though I’ve loved the color forever, I’ve never owned a pair of purple shoes…until now. I saw these and fell deeply, madly, passionately in love. I think I also had a mini shoegasm. Ahhhhhhh….

Louboutins…Got my first pair!

I got my first pair of Louboutins for my birthday and I’m positively giddy about it. Louboutins run very narrow (not a good thing for my fat feet) so I’m limited in his styles. However, I got a classic pair I can wear for years – the New Simple Pump in black patent leather. I LOVE them!

The Next Level

I love shoes and I have a pretty sizeable collection.  However, I think it’s time to take it to the next level.  I want some high end shoes…super high end.  So, I’ve added a pair of “red bottoms,” i.e. Christian Louboutins, to my bucket list.  I’ve got to start with a relatively conservative pair out of which I can get a considerable amount of wear given the price.  So, here are a few I’m considering.  What do you think?

Think I Just Had A Shoegasm…

Can’t come up with much to say about these other than STUNNING. I am almost speechless. Seriously…

Hello Lovah!

This is one of the sexiest and most beautiful shoes I’ve seen in a while.  Love it!  It was $100 on Endless but I was fortunate enough to find it in this fabulous fuschia at my beloved DSW for only $36 last month.  ***Swoon***

The heel is 4.5 inches and the platform is 1.25 inches which makes this shoe incredibly easy to walk in for seasoned heel wearers.  Now, I want it in the black satin and black leather as well.  Why, oh why, do I have this shoeddiction?  Whoa is me…LOL!

New Shoe Fixation

Really loving this shoe.  The price is great for one pair but I want two – the dark pink multi and the black patent.  But that’s what I do.  If I love a pair of shoes, I tend to buy them in multiple colors.  Why, oh why, doesn’t Zappos offer coupons/discounts?

Real v. Deal/Steal

Less expensive designers create similar designs of higher end designers all the time.  No news there.  But the designers at Martinez Valero didn’t even try to differentiate much in comparison to Manolo Blahnik’s “Something Blue,” which was first seen in the “Sex and the City” movie.  It’s almost identical.  Both are gorgeous and if I were in the market for a blue, satin pump, I’d have no issue buying the Martinez Valero.  Which would you buy?  Real or Deal/Steal?
