Jennifer Lopez Sings About Her Louboutins

Posted by r5bales in Christian Louboutin Shoes, General

Jennifer Lopez has released a new single titled Louboutins.  It is nothing different.  Jennifer’s music is beginning to sound like the same song with different words inserted.   I can pretty much predict what the music video will be: Jennifer in couture dresses and about 20 different styles of platform Louboutins. 

I wonder what happened to her J Lo shoe line.  She sure isn’t singing about them.  Another celebrity shoe line bites the dust.

Here are a few photos of Jennifer in her Louboutins.  I started to name each shoe, but lost patience. 

             

I must admit I am much more intrigued with Marc Anthony than with Jennifer.  He has a ton of talent.

Happy Birthday Calvin Klein

Posted by r5bales in Calvin Klein, General

Calvin Klein was born November 19, 1942, in the Bronx, New York.  He was raised in the borough’s Mosholu Parkway section a middle-class Jewish community of first and second-generation immigrants.  In 1968 Klein launched his own clothing company that was inspired by the style of New York’s urban youth.   We can’t forget the uproar caused by his jeans ad with a 15 year old Brooke Shields. 

Here are some Calvin Klein Shoes for fun.

Happy Belated Birthday Roberto Cavalli

Posted by r5bales in General

November 15 was Roberto Cavalli’s 69th birthday.   So here is wishing him a late happy birthday. 

 MPS077NPC086  $1364 at Zappos

Grey pump   MPS108 PC014 $984 at Zappos 

 

Studded boots MPS084 PZ032 $1594 at Zappos

I think it is refreshing to see this line named with an alpha-numerical code and not with a silly name like thisissilly.  Who names shoes anyways?  If I were in charge of a shoe names department, they would be called “cute boots with studs” or “dorky looking gladiator sandals.”  I think you all know why I am not in charge of naming shoes.

Steven Madden LTD to Manufacture Olsenboye

Posted by r5bales in Steve Madden Shoes, This week in shoes

I have written about Steven Madden and it’s past licensing agreements. Steven Madden continues to expand, with a spike in third-quarter earnings, a new licensing agreement and an optimistic full-year outlook.  The firm last week announced a licensing deal to manufacture footwear for Olsenboye, a new line created by Dualstar Entertainment Group, the management firm of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, that will be available exclusively at select JCPenney stores this holiday. A full launch in 600 doors is set for spring. 

Currently there are three styles of Olsenboye on sale at JCP.

Sofia   On sale at JC Penny.com $35

Kaylee $30.00 at JCP

Hailey $60.00 at JCP

While these styles are nothing creative or outstanding however, they are competitively priced and meeting the needs of a range of incomes.  (I just read my earlier post, and realized I said the exact same thing.)  I have Monopoly money on Steven Madden and it is up 10 points since July.

Steve Madden’s SOLE SEARCH

Posted by r5bales in General, Steve Madden Shoes, Zappos

I was reading some financial reports and came across an article that describes a shoe design contest SOLE SEARCH sponsored by Zappos, Steven Madden and Brickfish.   Since I am a techno-dork I don’t understand Brickfish, but I do understand Zappos and Steven Madden. 

You are able to create a shoe from a template in the program, or upload a design of your own making.  Three lucky consumers, one selected from each of the entering categories, will be given the opportunity to pitch his or her shoe design to Steve Madden in NYC. Steve Madden will then select one of the three designs to be produced and sold online at Zappos.com/Steve-Madden.  The contest ends December 29.   Some of the entries so far:

The next one is by far my favorite.  Very clever.

Hurry to the site and show us your dream shoe.
