This morning, I want to share this gorgeous little baby with all of you :

Honestly, this is one pretty shoe. I am only barely avoiding drooling over this beauty.

I love the D’orsay styling, the two-tone patent and hair-calf combination, and of course, the cute little bow at the back. The 4.5-inch heel (sans platform) makes this a truly lovely silhouette; though at the highest end of wearability for many of us. It is, however, not available in my size and my pocketbook is truly grateful for this last fact.

However, there is still stock for one of you out there wearing a size 10. Who will it be?

Madonna, the Queen of Pop, has never been known to shy away from controversy. So it should come as no surprise that she worked her killer gams balancing on the gun shoe from the Chanel Spring 2009 Cruise Collection. Since I am sure this will trigger a response from gun control activists, what is your take on these shoes – all in good fashion fun or should we cease proliferating the idea that guns are hot?

The Chanel Sandal (G26369 X01008) in satin/metal will be available in Chanel boutiques starting mid Oct 2008.  The price is $2200.

After getting over my shock at seeing how downright fabulous Stephanie Seymour (she’s 40!)  and Naomi Campbell (38) looked on the Western themed Hermes Spring 2009 runway, my attention finally turned to the shoes.

Although I couldn’t see much of a tie-in between the Western theme and these art deco shoes by Pierre Hardy, I’m a fan of the Hermes scarf ring-like shoes  – I wonder, can a Hermes scarf be threaded in between the rings? And while I like the narrow platform, I suspect that the height of the heel and the shifting sand runway doesn’t make these models’ job easy to walk in.

More than any other fashion house, Hermes is known for their exotics.  It’s appropriate that these shoes come in lizard skin as well.

Finally, is this the beginning of the Western motif and Hermes equestrian roots coming into play?   Sure, these aren’t riding boots, but I love a versatile slouchy/tall flat boot.

And no cowboy theme would be complete with blue jeans.  But I have to wonder, was Jean Paul Gaultier inspired by Katie Holmes when he jumped on the rolled up jean trend?

It’s been a while since we’ve done one of these so let’s have a shoe showdown. Who wore Manolo Blahnik’s slingback peep toe bootie ($755 at Bergdorf Goodman) best – Hilary Duff or Becki Newton?

And since we’re in a recession here, instead of the $755 Manolo pricetag, Michael Kors has a similiar peep toe bootie (minus slingback) for a more palatable price of $149 plus Nordstroms is currently running a promo where it ships for free.

John Galliano’s Dior spring/summer 2009 ‘Tribal Chic’ collection is said to be heavily influenced by his travels to Africa. For me, that means ethnic prints sashaying down the runway. Galliano, who is decidedly more dramatic than I will ever be, had different ideas. I can just imagine what went through his imaginative head.

He probably came back from a safari, started unpacking the equivalent of a treasure trove of artifacts from his adventures, and spotted a wooden African fertility goddess figurine. Inspired by the abundance, he felt compelled to incorporate the likeness into the spring collection. But where would he put such a thing? Well, the heel of course. And while he was at it, why not make it shiny too.

But wait, John came back with a treasure chest of goodies, right? That means ample figurines left for tribal earrings and necklaces (though hopefully not made of elephant tusks).

Of course, no journey into Africa would be complete without a crocodile hunt. Afterwards, the hide would be great for making bondage-inspired cage shoes.
