Cinderella Diaries

Christian Louboutin's long promised Cinderella shoes are here!! Unveiled in Paris last week, these limited edition slippers (only 20 such pairs will be made) were designed to mark the release of the Disney movie on Blu-ray and DVD.

Louboutin has replaced the fairly tale version's glass with lace which is adorned with Swarovski crystals and butterflies. Another feature is the signature red sole.

I don't know about you but frankly I think the design absolutely tacky and OTT. Just look at the butterflies that adorn the heel...yiiiikkeessss!!

While Louboutin seems to think "[t]he slipper is the magic wand of transformation which conjures confidence, beauty and love", I don't really see any Prince Charming quite falling for this shoe :| 

When Teenu got wings!

For regular followers of my blog (and I hope against hope there are many!), apologies for my long hiatus. Yes, I am still alive.

So this is the first post in what (again, I hope!) will be a long series of posts on shoes owned by people I know. In a moment of impulse (induced by a long weekend at work, I suspect), my friend Tanushree, fondly called Dutty (don't kill me now!), bought these awesome wedges from Aldo:

Servedio (also pictured below) is made of synthetic but comes with a cool braided rope sole and ankle straps that make these otherwise ginormous heels comfortable to wear:

Priced at $80 (now on a massive sale at less than $39), Teenu bought them for around 6k at the Aldo store in Phoenix Mills, Mumbai. Aldo - Why you be discriminating against us poor Indians?? Why, why?

Many thanks to Teenu for the picture :)
