Um, not so much.

I'm not feeling these floppy wedges by Chloe at all. I'm usually a huge fan of Chloe... but this time I think they missed the mark. Big time. I think these are matronly and sloppy looking and I'm not sure which trend they think this supposed to represent.

Hmmm. What do you guys think??

Showing Less Can be More...

Ok, so I'm not exactly crazy on the color here... it's a little 70's/Chrissy Snow for me, but I do love how high up the vamp is. (vamp= upper, or "front thingy")

I really like this trend of choaked up vamps. Don't get me wrong, I still love a sexy shoe with toe cleavage, but this is a whole different animal. This has a different kind of sex appeal. It's more of a vintage feeling.

Anyway, just wanted to share this with you. Open your mind to something new... I think we'll be seeing a lot more of these high vamp pumps in the near future. You can find these online for $720 at Barneys.

How Do They Do it!?

Shoes for under $25?? This baffles me. Even if we made shoes out of toilet paper we wouldn't be able to get that kind of price on a shoe from our factories! I'm sure these are super cheap looking in person, even more so than in the picture, and even cheaper feeling; but, I suppose if you want a Chloe knockoff for less than you'd pay for a nice dinner... here's your answer.

They're cute. Like I said, total knockoff, but cute. You guys know I struggle with this copying shoes thing. I'm all for shoes inspired by designer shoes, but when you go ahead an copy a shoe stitch for stitch, it just seems unfair. It ruins the shoe for the people who buy the real deal.

Can you imagine saving up for a shoe that you adore... say it costs $700, and then seeing the same thing for like 95% less! I'd be so bummed. Here's the original. 

 

You see what I mean? Sure us Shoe Girls can tell tell difference right away- but still. Close enough.

What's Up Doc??

I know we've seen a lot of Doc Martins on the runway, but I'm still not totally convinced. I think a certain girl can rock them. She probably wears them with flowy floral skirts and opaque tights... VERY 90's.

There's a girl with a fashion blog that I just adore! She wears them and pulls them off so well. Then again she's gorgeous and about 90 lbs, so... she pulls a lot of things off. Check her out at Fashion Toast

So anyhow, I found these on Brown's of London online for about $600 if you're interested. What do you think??
