Jimmy Choo Niagra Plex Crystal-Adorned Platforms

Jimmy Choo Niagra Plex Crystal-Adorned Platforms

Um. Oh em gee. Oh em eff gee, even, because I am feeling overwhelmed and frisky and in love. I am well aware that I fall in love with a different pair of shoes once a day, but in a world where there are Jimmy Choo shoes, I hope I can be forgiven. Especially since I am also living in a world where there are Jimmy Choo Niagra Plex Crystal-Adorned Platform Sandals ($2,495 at Saks), which may well be the most breathtaking pair of shoes I have ever seen in my entire life – or in any of my previous lives, for that matter.

Are these not the most drop dead gorgeous sandals you have ever seen? Look at them again. It’s okay, take your time; I’ll wait. In fact, I’ll stare at them with you, no problem.

These sandals are just magical. The clear plexi material makes it look like you’re not wearing any shoes at all, (more…)

Jimmy Choo Jenna Chain Ankle-Wrap Suede & Leather Sandal

Nothing says “I am edgy, awesome, and have excellent taste in shoes” like a pair of signature Jimmy Choo heels, you know?  Winter isn’t exactly ideal for sandals or strappy heels – except for all those holiday parties, and in this pair of Jimmy Choo Jenna Chain Ankle-Wrap Suede & Leather Sandals (on sale for $529 at Nordstroms), you will no doubt be floating on air and feeling like a glam rock Cinderella waiting for the clock to toll midnight.

Holiday parties are ideal for shoes like this, but they’re perfect for a specific kind of party and made for a certain kind of woman.  There’s something hard rock about these shoes, from the silhouette to the different colored chains connected to the unique ankle cuff.  (more…)

Kristen Stewart

 I remember watching Oprah interview someone, years ago - I think it was Robert DeNiro.  The actor said that acting had to be the most boring job ever.  It is mostly repetition and sitting around while they prepare for five minutes of action.   Oprah went on to say that most actors, without scripts, are not particularly  interesting people.   When I look at Kristen Stewart, I think of that interview.  She doesn’t seem all that thrilled to be in the public eye; doesn’t seem to want to be talking to interviewers; and  doesn’t seem to appear to be very interesting.  In all fairness, her interviews in magazines have painted a fairly harrowing existence with her fans and paparazzi stalking her.  I would probably appear aloof, too. 

I have seen her in something other than the Twilight sagas and she can act, but the role she has to play in these Twilight movies is dreadful.   Anyways, Kristen Stewart is abroad with Taylor Lauchner as they attend “Twilight Saga: Eclipse” premiers and photocalls.  Since she first appeared in the spotlight, she has really improved her image.  Let’s see what she has shown us so far.

In Sydney she wore black Sergio Rossi ankle boots.  Her skirt is a Jenni Kayne from Spring 2010.   Her shirt is a grey Market Bridgette tee.

In Seoul she wore a black Prabal Gurung Fall 2010 long sleeved mini shimmering dress,  a wide leather belt and Jimmy Choo ‘Quiet’ black sandals.

For the Rome Premiere she wore a  Marchesa Fall 2010 dress.  I have seen mixed reactions to this dress.   She wore black satin Roger Vivier sandals to complete the look.

Taylor looks good enough to eat after dinner. 

In Germany, she looked liked a million bucks.  I just wish she would get rid of the tough guy pose.  She wore a  Versace Fall 2010 and Camilla Skovgaard button booties.  Love both the dress and the shoes. 

Close up of the shoes.

Nice touch with the black toenails.  This is my favorite look so far.

Jimmy Choo Mesh Sandals – Hello Stunner!

This gorgeous embellished Choo open-toe sandal has nude mesh, crystals and hardware in an exquisite design, suede trim, a ¾ inch platform and 4½ inch stiletto and a zipper on the heel cap. It is $1795.

Saks no longer has it a few short weeks after it was in the window, but here’s to hoping they’ll bring it back! Perhaps more are just being produced!! Here’s to hoping, because I’d spend my whole bonus on this.

Update:  Our SA at Nordstrom’s has these! Contact Henry at hirbod74@yahoo.com.  Tell him that ShoeBlog sent you and reference style ‘Quinze SMS’ or UPC 429482227574.

Spring Eye Candy at Saks Part 2: Metallics

In my last post I rounded up my favorite spring shoes from a recent trip to Saks Fifth Avenue! While shopping I noticed a trend that I am ready to endorse: metallics! There is just something undeniably chic and weather-appropriate about metallics complemented by a glowing tan (preferably fake for people who care about their health!). I am partial to gold shoes, but subtler metallics are also catching my eye. Without further ado, here are my favorite metallic shoes courtesy of Saks!

These Jimmy Choo Wedges are everything I want in a sandal – gold and a low wedge heel!

Jimmy Choo Crisscross Wedges for $595 at Saks (limited sizes remain online; better luck in person!).

I was recently shopping with a friend and we both agreed that we wish we lived an Oscar de la Renta kind of life! These gold heels courtesy of Mr. de la Renta are a bit subtler in tone, but pack a punch in style and height.

Oscar de la Renta Textured Leather Sandals for $575 at Saks.

Gladiators still seem to be everywhere, so why not a metallic gladiator!

Dolce Vita Strappy Flat Sandals for $195 at Saks (also available in white).

I have an inexplicable love for Juicy Couture, so I couldn’t resist loving these sandals.

And finally, the cutest metallic flats ever! I love how Jimmy Choo updated and embellished the basic flat!
