Charlotte Olympia Orient Express Bootie

I know it’s Wednesday and even though the week is half over, you need a little extra umpph to get you through the rest of the week.

So how about these eye-popping, beautiful to look at but impractical for my lifestyle fantasy heels by Charlotte Olympia?  Dubbed the Orient Express, these might not be shoes that I’d like to take a ride in.  Yet, anyone walking in these vibrant teal heels will certainly be able to rise to a special occasion in the 5.5 inch heels and show off their fancy feathers, literally.  Even the peacock head at the cap toe is a conversation piece.

The Charlotte Olympia Orient Express is available for £935 on her website.

Charlotte Olympia Avalon Sandal

Be still my gentle heart.   Charlotte Olympia’s Avalon sandal is not as mythical as the name implies.  It will soon be available as part of Charlotte Olympia’s Spring 2012 collection.  Until then, you can swoon at this gawk-worthy artwork with me.  Yes, artwork.  How can you not admire the intricately designed heel.   The sandal is complemented by the black vamp, which  is appropriately simple so that it does not detract from the elegant heel. And yet this creation actually looks rather sturdy with a thick heel, a platform, and ankle straps for support.  Readers, if anyone ends up purchasing or trying on this shoe, please let us know what you think.
