One, two, buckle my shoe!

So I'm now back to being a student which is the perfect excuse to buy lots and lots of stationery (my other big love apart from shoes :D). And imagine my surprise (and joy and excitement) at finding shoe themed stationery!! My recent acquisitions include:

A black stiletto shaped scotch tape dispenser - manufactured by Scotch Tape, this cutey-pie (is that an appropriate adjective for an object, I wonder?) costs $9.99 and comes in some other colours too:

Aaaand shoe motif post-it's priced at $2.99 per pack only!

Here's both of them occupying pride of place on my desk :D

Both can be easily found at the Staples outlet off Harvard Square. Go hurry and buyyyy while stocks last!!

Here's to the monsoon...that never arrived!

So I discovered the coolest thing today - these little pen cap kind of things that protect your heels in the outdoors!!

I sooo wish I'd possessed these simple but effective heel protectors before all those law school parties in the Bangalore rain. Many a heel have been ruined! Though I still have no clue where these can be procured :|

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 :)

Les souliers!! (I gave a board exam in French bitches!)

Spotted this photo on yet another all-time favourite site of mine: www.highheelconfidential.com. If you have not checked it out yet, you MUST, MUST, MUST (right after you're done with my blog!)



While usually I love Sonam Kapoor's sense of style (wish I could say the same about her acting), I can't say I particularly care for her outfit above. But what I do <3 are those shoes!! Soooo drool-icious. From Roger Vivier's Spring-Summer 2012 collection, these Belle de Jour shoes come with his signature rectangular buckle on the front.




While this particular version of the shoe comes in three toned suede with a three inch heel, the design itself is a Roger Vivier classic that can be found in red and black in leather as well.

            

My pick however is the suede which while otherwise priced at $575, is on a 60% discount at http://www.rogervivierus.com and can be bought for a neat $230! 

The story of my life!

These make me GREEN with envy!!! (Lame I know :P)

My new all time favourite site is Pinterest!!! So much nicer, happier and less bitchy than facebook! Spotted these gorgeous peacock printed (?) heels today:


While originally these shoes appear to be from thisnext.com, the link there seems to have expired. I am simply unable to tell whether the peacock feathers have been printed or embroidered. Nor do I know which brand these are from. Any ideas??

Muchas gracias to the 900+ pinners of these shoes thanks to whom these turned up on my feed!
