shoes 5-17

I have been slacking with the shoes.. not because I haven't been taking photos, but because vista is such a pain in the ass to get the photos off the camera. Instead of hook up camera drag n'drop. I have to hook up external hard drive with card reader, turn that on, then get the camera, take out the memory card, put it in the card reader. wait wait wait wait for vista to finally recognize the drive and ONLY THEN can I drag n'drop the photos.

So what should take seconds to do, with Vista takes about a half hour. Way to make my life easier vista.... God I love those Mac commercials....

Ok I digress... back to the subject at hand. Shoes!

Saturday I went to a wedding so I wore my Gold Metallic Michael Kors heels. I LOVE these heels - they are super cute and pretty comfy (seriously!!) And they look cute with jeans too.

The Gladiator Sandal Trend Needs to Go Away

It's too much.

First: there are just too many laces - I like laces, but these are extreme. It looks like too much work to put on my shoes - and really I will suffer for my shoes. I've seen some pairs that don't have quite so many and I like those.

Second: all the pairs I've seen so far are flats. I don't like flats - I am far too short - I need the lift.

If designers are going to force me into a sandal - at least give me a heel to work with.

So here is a pair by Michael Kors - and they just don't do it for me. They are too flat, and seriously they look so blah. Did they dig them up? Perhaps Jesus lent them his? These may be one of the ugliest pairs of shoes I've ever seen.



Cleopatra and Caesar together again?? What are these Ferragamo's? I suppose they aren't really gladiator with the ruffle thing going on, but it reminds me of them... Strange shoe.



here's a super ugly pair for you:



and a similar pair in the flesh on Mary-Kate Olsen.

Metallics are still in for Spring

I've been looking at the new spring preview handbags and metallics are still hot, so is patent leather.

A cute Jimmy Choo:



Or a Michael Kors - wow is this expensive $3900 - I don't think can afford it any time soon, but it sure is cute:

Take that Navy Dress off hold...

Here are the shoes for it! :) New Michael Kors Darling Chain Sandal at Neiman's.

Slap Sole Shoes Making a Comeback?

Interesting. I suppose it's not exactly a slap sole - since it's all one piece, but similar.



I just saw a pair that had a similar sold from the 1600s at the MFA this past weekend.
