Crazy for Gladiators - Help!

balenciaga gladiators.jpgHi!

I have been looking for knee high Gladiator sandals....

Everywhere.

I want the ones that are like the Chanel pair that came out with last year.

But all I find are tacky looking imitations.

Please, no eBay!

Somewhere else!

Louboutin or Not to Louboutin

christian louboutin altadamas.jpgHi,

I'm sixteen years old and I've saved up enough money to finally buy a pair of those red soles. But, I realized there are so, so, so many other shoes (and clothes and bags) I could buy with the heavy price tag of the Louboutins.

I was thinking of buying a pair of Prada Linea Rossa wedges so I can still have some money left over.

Are the Louboutins' worth it?

Should I just go for it?

I'm on a Mission to Find These in a Size 7

mj mouse flats.jpgOkay - last summer, I visited New York and I fell in love with a pair of shoes.

They are Marc Jacobs, pony hair, spotted, mouse flats. He has made several versions of this shoe including metallic and patent leather, but I want to find the original. I saw them on eBay a while ago but they were already sold.

I love them so so much, but I need to know, is this mission impossible? Or can it be done? And if so, any ideas where I could find them?

The shoes are at left!

Thanks, xo

Wide-Leg Jeans with Heels?

Apr 04, 2008 @ 9:10am

wide leg jeans.jpgHello Fashionista,


I know there have beens posts about wide leg jeans in the past, but I have a specific question.

I recently purchased a pair of Goldsign wide leg orchid jeans. I plan on wearing them with a pair of platforms, but the bottoms of the jeans just skim the ground, covering the shoe completely. They are so wide you can barely see my feet.

Does this look silly? I feel if they were any shorter they would look too short! any thoughts on the proper length of a wide leg jean with heels? Thanks!

Are You Up For a Shoe Change?

Feb 27, 2008 @ 1:38pm

SHOE!.jpgShoes, as we all know, are a personal decision.


A lot of women are one-shoe kind of women, buying Chanel spectators, Tod’s moccasins, or Havaianas every season no matter what that seasons' runways dictate.

But in light of what's happening right now on the runways, we're wondering: Do you vary your shoe choices based on the whims of a designer, buying into giant platforms from Lanvin and high-heeled sneakers from Dries?

With Dame Vivienne showing strange duck-like square shoes, and Nicolas Ghesquiere making a serious case for a return to Manolo-esque points at Balenciaga; here at Fashionista, we wonder, will you abandon your round toed shoes of the past couple years?

We all remember a time in the not-so-recent past when Carrie Bradshaw and friends made the Pointy Stiletto Pump a way of life, but could seasons of sweet Marc Jacobs Mary Janes be so déclassé all of a sudden? One has to hope that when you buy $700 shoes that you can wear them outside of 4TS for more than one season, and yet, fashion exists to change, doesn't it?

So will you drop your Miu Miu flats in favor of uber-pointy heels circa 1999? How about for square-toed flats circa never?

Believe it or not, we really are dying to know!

Pierre's Ruminations

pierre gap.jpgFaran just told me that Pierre Hardy's shoes for Gap won't be available in the States...

Pierre Hardy has designed for Hermes and Balenciaga, and now his shoes are cheap.

I almost cried.

But then I laughed when I read his quote in British Vogue, "Gap is like Hermes for the high street."

Discuss!

Someone asked about the Red Vans I got as a birthday gift - here they are. If you have a pair of custom sneakers, definitely post them - or email them to faran@fashionista.com and I'll post them. I have a feeling you have some major ones out there...
