Eluxury.com is set to close its online shopping doors this Friday, June 26th and rebrand itself as a luxury fashion emagazine.  The transition, it is said, was because many of the brands Eluxury sells have developed their own online presence (for example, Dolce and Gabbana just launched their online boutique today).

While this is sad news for me because I love to web surf and dream of the items in my closet, the silver lining is that Eluxury is drastically reducing prices on their remaining inventory.  Right now, ALL sale items are an additional 50% off their last marked down price.   Understandably, the selection will be limited and it appears there are only 1 or 2 items of the available sizes left, but if you’re the perfect fit, here are some lovelies which can be yours.

D&G Dolce & Gabbana Carla Pink Patent Slingback for $118.

Dsquared2 Patent Leather Espadrille, Red for $86.

There were more, but they seems to have already sold out! Hurry!

-During Nordstrom’s shareholder meeting, we learn who two of its top selling vendors are.  Hints:  They are both shoe designers, one of the brands specializes in warm boots, and the other brand sounds a little like ’shoes’. Okay, that’s like giving away the answers. Can you guess who the designers are? [via Luxist]

Fans of the Manolo Blahnik and Coca Cola collaboration of 2005 are in for a real thirst quencher.  For the 2009 fashion week, Manolo Blahnik has collaborated with Coca Cola once again.  The result is a new sole for the iconic coke bottle, which is decorated with Manolo’s shoe illustrations.   The design is available in a limited edition bottle and only 10,000 pieces are being made.  If you can read German, it looks like there is even a contest being held to commemorate the occasion.
