    Mai Lamore shoes 

    feather shoesI was browsing through my Elle magazine yesterday, and came upon these lovely shoes! They’re made by a French designer, Mai Lamore. (For our reader(s) out there who aren’t Carmen or Emilily, we recently purchased feather earrings, so this is in keeping with a theme.)

    Here is a link to a larger picture at SBeulah’s fashion blog, because you really have to see them full size to appreciate the beautiful detail.

    rose shoesWhen I did a quick web search to see where one might purchase these beauties, I found another stunning pair, made out of hand-painted silk and 18-karat gold, for only $27,945.

    I know the price seems a bit outrageous, but I think these really are a work of art, and the fact that they are functional makes them that much more valuable.

    rothkoSeems a little more reasonable when you consider someone paid $72.8 million for Rothko’s  Yellow, Pink and Lavender on Rose. I wonder if anyone pointed out to them that they could have had 2,605 pairs of Mai Lamore Rose petal shoes instead.

    Speaking of Gilt Fuse Failure… 

    I don’t know if I can fault Gilt Fuse really, they are just the messenger.  Its really Madison Harding that is the culprit here:

      Sticking to the theme of questionable shoes – what do you think of these? Something about rubber shoes is appealing to me lately…

      well, i can see why these would be appealing to you – they’re flippin awesome. I am assuming they are galoshes and if they are not galoshes then we might have to have a talk. but otherwise, i agree!

    • Emilily 2:18 pm on August 18, 2009 Permalink

      Galoshes? Oh no, that’s the bottom half of my rubber suit, of course…

    converseOkay, I love converse, and I love a high heel…but please oh please, not at the
    same time. I would normally say that any shoe could be improved with a bit of
    height, but NOT athletic shoes. (For example, I would also say that any beverage
    could be improved with a splash of champagne, EXCEPT coffee. See, there’s an
    exception to every good rule.) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx

    xxxxxxx However, perhaps against my better judgment, I am still looking for an Adirondack
    boot with a heel – just like the one here, but with a 3+ inch wedge or cuban heel, and preferably not made by UGG. Somehow, UGG boots in my mind represent a very poor attempt to class up those sweatpants you should never have worn out of the house. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    And lastly, the boots that for months I have been coveting and stalking and making up little love songs in honor of, the Frye Harness Boot in Crazy Horse. I love everything about them – the walkable heel, the color, the name of the color, and the Lonesome Dove-esque androgynous cowboy fantasies they inspire…

      I don’t know, I’m imagining wearing the high heeled converse….. and i think i would look pretty cool. oh wait, no, that daydream is turning horribly wrong and suddenly i’m one of the dancing girls on In Living Color.

    plastic shoes 

    I cannot decide if I like these shoes or not, they’re on Gilt Groupe right now. I do love Vivienne Westwood, and jelly shoes bring back memories (ok, they bring back memories of being made fun of by some nasty sixth graders because my neon green jelly sandals did not match my home-made rainbow fairy costume, but jelly shoes are now super retro cool and those mean girls are probably fat and married to some knuckle-dragging mountain man and living in a double-wide in Orick, so there.) Anyways, do I love these or hate them?!?!

    Plastic shoes?

    • Carmen 10:23 am on August 11, 2009 Permalink

      well, its a tricky thing, and I understand your hesitation. This trend is appealing to me because the shoes look so clean and minimal – no lines, no embellishments. However, that is the only plus side I can come up with. I too remember the days of jellies and frankly would not want to be reminded of them every time I look down at my feet. Secondly, because I remember those days, I recall that my feet do not like the feel of plastic on my feet. Ok, I just thought of another plus side though – that the colors can be so vibrant, its almost like you’re wearing drops of candy on your feet….. hold the phone – thats a brilliant idea! Shoes made of candy! I’ll get working on that right now!

    What do you think about adding sequins to an old pair of shoes as a craft project?

      Well, it looks gorgeous, but also like a lot of work! I wonder if you could do something similar with krazyglue…
