Add two more shoes to my dream closet, if you please.

Dolce & Gabbana DS1732-E4755 Platform Pump $790

These sumptuous velvet pumps could easily be another contender for the Red Queen’s shoes… And yes, I am excited to see what Tim Burton et. al. have come up with in regards to the whole Alice in Wonderland story mythos – too bad I have to wait until March to find out.

Dolce & Gabbana DS1772-E4761 Platform Pump $995

Taking a page from the Icon Shoes playbook, these D&G platforms take the art-on-shoes graphics up a few pegs. Utterly impractical; I love them completely.

My taste has definitely been running toward the, shall we say, devastatingly Baroque of late. Perhaps that’s because I have been spending way too much time either at home in my workout clothing or out and about in warm, yet not exactly figure-flattering, winter layers.

Whatever the case, I’ll end here with an enthusastic “O Frabjous Day! Callooh! Callay”. Some shoes manage to give me that warm and happy feeling just by looking at them.
