Straps and Stripes

I am inlove witht Stripped shoes right now. My favourite to my surprise are the forever21 pair! There is something prettier about the fabric and he direction of the stripes. I don't quite like the Jeffrey Campbell, because there is something brash and jarring about the color and Stripe direction. One good thing about the JC's are the heel height. Awesome.

Jeffrey Campbell can be bought here.

Jeffrey campbell does it again!! These are the Genera, for Miss KL! Talk about love at first sight. This shoe takes the meaning of  the T-Strap to a whole new level! The sole is one thin line connecting the heel to the platform! Yay! You can purchase these babies here.

Yes, this is an obsession with Jeffrey Campbell, sorry. Below are the Gashed and then the Leche. 

Ebay Shoes

I was perusing the eBay landscape, looking for unique finds. I found these babies!! Mind you some of them are no longer listed.

First are the  7 inch platforms. They remind me of the Spice Girls circa 1995. These babies are still listed, mind you, they are from a Chinese seller. Shipping may take a little longer, the item may not look exactly the same. Remember, buying from Chinese sellers may sometimes be a gamble. However, eBay has made accommodations for that with the feedback system and chargeback from Paypal. But those are for worst case scenarios. In most cases, you can simply contact the seller, they really value their feedback ratings.

These shoes are no longer listed. Sorry. In lieu of the 7 inch heel craze aka "wannabe Daffodils", I thought these would be nice. I am not a fan of the construction but I like the hidden platform, lucite heel combo.

UPDATE!!!!!!*****

Found the platform shoes under a different seller with a black color option!! Check them out.  Shown below are specifics of shoes.

Bound and Caged

I cant say I am a 100% with Haus Von Lila's Dogma heels. Perhaps I am just not a big fan of the shape of the heels. Maybe its cause I am a bigger fan of the sandals which are  "No-Fuss" flats. We  start getting on to the slippery slope of tackiness when your heel construction is not perfect. Needless to say there is so  much going on on these shoes, you probably wouldn't notice.

The L.A.M.B Sandy. I love that pointed toe pumps are coming back. I am so glad we are rid of the exaggerated pointedness of the shoes from the late 90s to early 2000s.  The Sandys are a cheaper substitute to the Pigalle Platos.

The Next shoe is from the  Design Collective: Ego and Greed. Their insane 10 inch Platform!!(Yes 10 frikkin inches!) are part of the Street Cred Collection. Girl! when you see these babies in real life, you will pass out!  Below are the Jenny in Leopard print. Haha! Talk about making a statement: 10 inches and leopard print? your shoes would make a bigger statement even if you were naked!

They're in your face, outrageously raunchy and untamed. I love that! I wouldn't rock them, but they're on my "It girl" list.

Another feature is from a 23 year Boston Native's Designs: Thom Solo.  His RTW pieces are amazing, but not as stunning as what he has on his facebook page. Here is one draw back on these particular shoes. There may be a design flaw or it may be intentional, I dont know. But look closely at the platform and heel, they seem to be wider apart than usual.  Instead of forming the regular acute heel to sole angle, it looks slightly obtuse. Nevertheless, I am impressed with the flower details on the platform. Some would say, these are just a pair of big litas with flowers stuck to the platform. Either way,they're high, obnoxious and cool.
