Hello,

As I'm still young in the 'shoe' collection, my closet is not as full as I would like it to be but looking forward to enhance it as much as I can afford.

So here's is my list of shoes I could'nt miss buying:

HEELS

Kenneth Cole 'Reaction'; green low heel vintage look pointy ankle strap shoe. Amazingly comfortable. Can bo both really dressy or everyday shoe.

Liz Clairbone; old pink platform medium heel slip in open toe with 3 treads orned by a same pink leather flower. Really delicate but can go with nice dark jeans.

BCBG Paris: dark blue croco printed slip in small medium heel. BCBG...

Camper: Lemon green with black leather straps at ankle and and toes. Heels looks like half of a ball?!? Super funky!!!

Steve Madden 'Hottie': Two tone green high wooden heel slip in open toe sporty looking.

Dries Van Noten: White, wood and metal medium hell with leather sole hand made with nails...Pointy toel, ankle strap and for more precision; another strap running underneath the arch of the sole. These are the best ever...and costed me new 35$ cnd...

Betsey Johnson 'Vera': Gold satin and velvet high heel open toe with a big gold and green flower on top...Reserved for special occasions...

SHOES

Doors: Flat like suede gray material shoe with rubber sole...seems ugly but has that attractive japaness look that is flattering...

Nautica 'signal' : White 'loafers' (without the golf thing), they're closed on front with nice treads design. Chic matelot look.

Rockport: Newmarket brown with laces. Too comfortable...

Converse: Blue and white all leather version of the star icon.

SMALL BOOTS

Jackal Milano: Brown over ankle boot with off white laces. Would be too long to describe how much they're hot but just add that the sole is made of full leather and is insert with two patch of rubber 'vibram' at heel and toes.

Patrizia Pepe: Two tone blue with white inside, smooth leather mixed with suedine patches paddings wrestling style ankle boot.

Fornarina: Black ankle boot side zipper with leather closure. Gray/Silver details/trims with black velvet.

Rockport: Knee tall brown boot with side zipper. Beige woody 2inch heel. Looks so good over jeans...

So...for sure I have other shoes that don't need to be mention here... but I just wanted to share with you shoe addicts my personnal collection.

What do you think of it so far? How could I improve it?

My favorite sandals of all time were Fornarina. I miss those shoes. What do you think of the boots?

I love that you've already worked color into your shoe wardrobe even though you're just getting on a roll. Shows great potential!

Anybody who has a Dries van Noten shoe in her collection is fine by me...but did I read that right? You only paid 35 Canadian Dollars? Tell me it ain't so!

Yes I truly only paid 35$cnd for my pair of white Dries van noten high heels...at a Winners boutique. They were on sale too. They were new with no defect at all.

To this day, I am kicking myself for not picking up the $50 Manolos that I saw at the Saks outlet (Franklin Mills Mall) about 7 years ago. This was pre-SATC, so they didn't have the crazy popularity -- I'm sure they'd never get to the $50 point nowadays. Granted they were pretty ugly, but still, I'd love to own a pair and see what the hype was.
