From today’s twitterstream:

A history of platforms, found by shoebizness.com:

(Prints & notecards available at www.claudialynch.com)

And, from everywhere else:

Jimmy Choo has launched their Choo 24:7 line of shoes; HiFashion also blogs a peek-a-boo on these.

(I’m a sucker for this Leila Mary Jane $525)

Stylebubble shows us ’scoots’ (convertible scarf boots) by Russy Valenki:

Via wallpaper, a peek at the unique storefront of the recently-opened  Christian Louboutin boutique in Miami.

Via formspring.me, one gal’s solution to the (all too common) shoe-fund dilemma.

And, not particularly shoe-related, but worth a read, the ‘Why I hate Fashion’ rant by Tanya Gold along with some alternate perspectives on this whole fashion-thing.
