from strip clubs to catwalks: the lucite heel.

do you know where the lucite heel started? the clear platform originally had a slot opening for strip club patrons to put their tips. super classy.

for years the only person who would dare wear this kind of shoe in public is shauna sand:

obviously a greatttt fashion role model...

but it now seems that designers are bringing the lucite heel to high fashion, and i'm kind of loving it.

brooklyn decker is wearing a feminine heel by chloe.

wrapped nude platform by fendi.

neon lucite heels by jimmy choo.

velco strap lucite platforms by prada.

moral of the story: with a few tweaks stripper attire can be fashionable. 

taylor momsen, you're doing it wrong.

ps- you look like a raccoon on quaaludes.

i need shoe rehab...

i was out running errands today and decided to do a quick lap around ross. little did i know i would hit the friggin' shoe jackpot. each pair was only 12$ check it out:

sole searching: the never-ever-ever edition.

ok so this post should be common knowledge, but there are some clueless people out there so i'm going to spell it out. basically, if you are seen in public with any of the following on your feet, you have resigned to be "that guy" or "that girl."

first and foremost obviously: the croc.

if you are going for the rosie o'donnell look, then by all means wear these rubber monstrosities. 

next, croc's 2nd cousin: the clog.

the ONLY way this style of footwear is acceptable is if it a 6 in. chanel clog, or is you are a milkmaid in holland.

trick this is not 2007: boots with the fur.

this style was over as fast as flo-rida's song got annoying, which was immediately. why wear a boot that makes you look like you have hairy bear legs? 

next up: sketchers shape-ups.

ok lets be real, a clunky rounded sole is not going to make your ass look like a supermodel. what they WILL do is make you look like you have two club feet.

last and certainly not least: the vibram 5-finger shoes.

ok runners, buy some asics like a normal person and stop whining. all these things do is make you look pretentious and creepy.

now for some extra ugly. there are no words.

i don't think even gaga would wear any of those and we all know that bitch is crazy.

enjoy.

can i has it: charlotte olympia.

charlotte olympia is a british designer know for leopard prints, wild colors and fan detailing. basically she designs some wild shit and i love it. 

her name is less known than say a certain red-soled designer but her shoes are EVERYWHERE. celebrities like mila kunis, kelly rowland, reese witherspoon, katy perry, SJP, and beyonce are all big fans.

check out the awesomeness:

one of her signatures is the shrunken platform where is slightly smaller than the sole of the shoe.

another of her signatures is an INTENSE stacked wedge. these also come in leopard print. want.

love anything with tons of color and here again you see her shrunken platform.

yes. the heels are filled with fluorescent liquid. bad. ass.

loving dark blue and navy shoes for fall.

unfortunately after drooling over these you have to find out these cost around a grand each :(

shoe shoutout: lala anthony.

i am writing this post in honor of lala anthony's (formerly vasquez) off the charts shoe game.

i'm not really sure what she is famous for other than hosting trashy reality reunion shows and being a socialite a la kimmy k but i won't hold it against her.

lala is recently married to dream boat knicks star carmelo anthony. i think i need to become a basketball wife because they always have the best footwear.

here are some examples of her awesomeness:

fierce louis vuitton cage pumps and she casually sits COURTSIDE. i want her life.

i posted kourt kardash in the same shoes but they are so awesome i think they deserve a second round.

i love a simple shaped shoe that is super sparkly or shiny. give visual interest without conflicting with the dress.

i have also posted about these shoes before. i think it's official i either need to rob a bank and buy these versace pumps or find a knock-off company who makes a decent look-a-like. no luck with either so far.

lala does a thing for her twitter followers called #shoeicide wednesdays where everyone tweets a pic of the shoes they're wearing. this was one of hers. i know i know more loubs and more animal print but i can't move on they're just too beautiful.

i swear baker's should put me on payroll...

TODAY ONLY!!!!

get free shipping on all bakers orders!

this just gave me an excuse to find more cuteness that i need to have. bad news.

H by Halston- $100

kind of steep but i think a hot black pump is kind of a closet necessity. and this one has that awesoem sheer detial...

$90

if you read my blog at all you already know about my love affair with both animal print and wedges. need. too. own. these.

only $69 marked down from $129! what a steal.

i know its early but before long it will be fall and boots are going to cost a fortune so i suggest buying them now while they're super on sale!

tried this one on in the store and it is SOOOOO cute.
