This morning’s shoe crush is brought to you courtesy of Gothic Beauty and Target.com.
Anyway, while at the family’s weekly pilgrimage to our local Borders book store, my husband was lucky enough to trip across the only copy (likely our whole city) of the latest Gothic Beauty Magazine (Issue #27) - strangely hidden away in the automotive section of the magazine rack.
So, for those unfamiliar with this magazine, it is a fashion resource for those ‘alternatively inclined’ in their fashion sense – and, incidentally, has some amazing models and photography within it’s pages.
Among this issue’s photo articles is the ‘Dark Carnivale’; and the shoes I am loving are worn by model ‘Betty Valentine’ (in yellow corset).

Shoe Detail from alternate photos here:
I have started to see variations of this shoe here and there…and I love it. Unfortunately, since this was a model-supplied pair, there is no magazine credit for the shoe listed.
But, I have been lusting over the following shoe over at Target which is pretty darned close – and was also surprisingly comfortable when I tried on a pair locally about a month ago.
The Merona Asymmetrical Double-strap Maryjane ‘Tatiana’ in Black or Blush. (Originally $34.99, now on clearance for $24.99)
This is one classic and sexy shoe; the blush color is a great variation on a classic neutral. I will, however, be taking mine sans fishnet – that ship, for me at least, has long sailed.
Incidentally, per article credits, the barely-glimpsed oxfords on the other models are courtesy of Pleaser USA.

the shoe itself is not that great but it looks good on the model.

This is a good example of just how some shoes must be seen on the foot to be appreciated. Some shoes look deceptively plain & simple but are really complimentary once they are actually worn.
