Pointless Desires: Silver Oxfords

Ugh. So, Christian Louboutin or Yohji Yamamoto or someone fancy pants made some fancy shiny silver Oxfords or brouges or whatever. I'm not even coveting those, but I DO want these simpler silver jazz shoes:

($132, Candela, Bluefly.com)


($595, Christian Louboutin, Net-a-porter.com)

Thoughts on these Christian Louboutin glittery "Fred" jazz shoes? Ridiculous, but with the black-and-white outfit, they're cool in a Michael Jackson way. (Btw, news you can use: Christian Louboutin custommade the shoes the dancers wore in the Michael Jackson tribute at this year's VMAs.)

In The Navy: Candela NYC Patent Pumps

Perhaps inspired by A Cup Of Jo's recent post on the super-glam heyday of 1960s air travel (I mean, I wasn't there, so what do I know? It could've sucked, but you know -- almost 50 years later, it looks pretty rad in an ambiguously misogynistic way), I really want these Candela NYC perfect patent pumps in what shall forthwith be referred to as "airline blue."

Seat backs up, ladies -- they're on sale from $264!


Shoes I definitely really DO NOT want:

Keds, from the new Spring/Summer '08 line. My eyes! There's seriously no saving the first pair.

OMG I WANT: Designer Binges

Tuesday to-die-fors:

($625, Botkier, Bloomingdales.com)

Definitely no steal at that price, but the structuring makes this an absolute thing of beauty.

($395, D&G Dolce & Gabbana, eLuxury.com)

Love this textured cone heel! And the bright, bold gold makes this shoe sort of a happy high-class hooker heel! Loves!

($425, Giuseppe Zanotti, eLuxury.com)

Giuseppe Zanotti sorta reminds me of a more affordable Fendi. I absolutely love these stunners -- the curved mirror heel is amazorz.

($297, Candela NYC, Activeendeavors.com)

Yay! Back to affordable-ish reality. These are totally beautiful everyday fall boots.

($45, Shopintuition.com)

Yay! Beauts jeweled earrings, and totes affordable! They'd be perf not only with the aforeblogged boots, but also with this dress, which has been on my bingelist for weeks now:

($110, Humanoid, Oak)

Serious wants.
