WE ALL NEED SHOES

Shoes gives me the blues when I see the prices and know that unless I mortgage my husband…well you know the rest!  But I could not resist the temptation to show you the 2011 Spring/Summer Shoe Collection by some of my favorite and also unique designers!  I am talking some fun out of the box designs that made me sit up, pay attention, and even at times salute.  Well enough of me and on to the subject.  SHOES!

STRINGS STRINGS FEATHERS AND THINGS ALA DIOR

Christian Dior played with our fantasies, putting in all the fun things we would only wear with the blessings of Mr. Galiano. Compilations of feathers, leather, animal prints in funky unusual colors, beading, blanket stitching and cool espadrille styling we like.

TIE ME UP

All tied up!  Animal prints popping, tie dye rocking, stitching and textures extraordinaire!  There is so much going on with these shoes, anything more than a simple sheat would draw attention from this jewel!  Or maybe not!  Loving the orange and white!

FEATHERS! Oh MY

AND BEAD N STRINGS AND THINGS

de DIOR COLLAGE

The collage here displays Mr. Galiano's artistry and his no fear approach at mixing colors textures and the theatrics! Truly his trademark!

TERMINAL MELTDOWN VIA RODARTE


There is always a surprise up the Mulleavy sisters sleeves for us!  They never cease to amaze me and I was especially impressed with the 13 year old fashion protege Tavi they shared with us a few years ago.  This season proves again that they will never disappoint and here I present to you Nicholas Kirkwood's collaboration with them!  OK I'll let you in on a secret, its from the fall. But since only Rihanna would be caught dead in that and actually the only one able to carry it off in the fall, I give her kudos and share it with you for the spring!  Hey who knows you may find it on sale!!!

On our ReRe

ITS HIP TO D SQUARED

Good things come in pairs as you see with the sisters so lets go the brothers. Twins actually from Canada who have single handedly put Canada on the map! OR is that doublehanded in a good way due to the twin effect?  Well it doesn't matter!  We speak of Dean and Dan Caten originally Catenacci who hail from Toronto Canada. The identical twin duo design powerhouse called DSquared and Dsquared2   They are splendiferous and though out of my price range at the moment I have faith!

So last year they broke our backs with their (what I call) the spinal tap shoe! Everyone ran for these even Alica Keys in her prego state!



Goddess Alicia Keys' feet



 This I assume was Canada zen ing Versace Circa 80's!

I adore their clothes but this definitely reminded me of Versace in the 80's or something. And frankly I think it only works on desperate attention seeking people like the Khloe's of the world. And not all of us should try this at home.

See! Told ya! Do not try this at home.

 

Well what to do this year?!

Get feminine thats what and here are a few smashing examples:
