Oh Ann D., why!? WHY?
First she came out with the triple lace-up heeled boot. I hate this curved “talon” heel (so awkward) but love the laces. Adore the laces.
Then, I saw the flat version and was in love with the entire shoe… praying someone would rip off the design for cheap. As much as I hate a knockoff, I would’ve bought them.
I haven’t bought anything fabulous for myself in so long, I’m about to lose my mind. Yes, the stuff I have been buying in preparation for the new apartment is for ME, technically. I’m talking about girly stuff. Clothes. Shoes. Spoiling myself a bit. If I could blow what would probably be about $1000 on something frivolous and selfish it would be these shoes, without a doubt.
I don’t want to use the image without permission so click here to see shoe perfection. Sigh.
The Spring couture shows started on Sunday in Paris and lovely eccentric mustached John Galliano revealed his collection for Dior. I’ve always admired Galliano’s ability to make fantasies a reality with his couture clothing but they are always so excessive and almost like period pieces, there’s just no way you can relate them to real life. His shoes are an entirely different story. I love what this crazy little man does with shoes. I can totally see myself wearing these. The open strappy front is very much like Ann Demeulemeester’s “it” shoe in her S2009RTW collection but I like these so much more. They are wedge-like but that teeny heel tap could take some getting used to. Still, their center of gravity is what I prefer in a shoe so I don’t think they would be hard to walk in at all. The white and black are my favorites.
