Balenciaga and Shoe Art

I'll take this opportunity to tell you how much I appreciate it when people turn something with such a mundane purpose as keeping your feet covered into a work of art. Balenciaga does just this.

A slideshow of more amazing model pictures:

Another one!

Look! It's another one of those open-toed boot things again!! I guess they're in this winter... Despite the chilly toes. :D

Steve Madden Towwer Black Leather on sale $89.97

Lady Gaga Hello Kitty?

Don't quite know how I feel about these Hello Kitty shoes Gaga wore at a recent photoshoot. I love the style... but I wonder just how much farther she'll be able to get away with going.

Betsey Johnson Red Plaids...

I don't know about you, but Betsey Johnson's got me MAD FOR PLAID.

Check out these 4-inch heel boots. $188.

Some of her previous red plaid styles.... This pattern never gets old.

My favorite Ballin for Anna Sui

Check it out... an open-toed boot. Interesting. Totally defeats the purpose of "boot," but still looks great. I'd wear it.

Then again, I'd wear anything.

Purple is my favorite color, by the way. That's why I particularly like the Ballin' for Anna Sui line that's out this season.

Katy Perry

Let's talk Katy Perry, shall we?

Amazing platforms. Go to this link for the detail. It's worth it.

Some amazing boots... Katy Perry Style.

Right: Louboutons!!!

Classic red heels we adore.

Her custom designs: Disco Princess by Vans and her custom black-and-white Keds.

Apparently these are some of her favorites:

Javari sequins!!

She's often seen in Louboutin.

"Thinking of You" shoes by Giambattista.

I got these pics from http://soleenvie.com/shoeblog/tag/katy-perry/ -- yet another shoe blog of which I draw my best inspirations. The actual black shoes worn by Perry are now out of stock. Bummer.

Here they are in action. Everything about this outfit I love.

And, to top it off, she performs in a giant shoe. I love her.

The Best of Ten Inches...

Strutt Coture kind of wins the award for most amazing wedding shoe. All their stuff is great, but this shoe, in particular, would look pretty amazing on a bride. Comes in pearl, lilac, and pink. Lovin them.

They won't let me cut and copy the image of the white one, which makes me sad. Here's a link. Check out their other stuff. I really like all the purple.

Frisoni Fringe!!

Some amazing fringe action happening on Bruno Frisoni Spring 2010 Line.

Lady Gaga struts her stuff.

Just some great Gaga footwear... because I love her.

Check out these boots. Imagine trying to LACE these things.

Of course, if I ruled the world, I would wear these every single flippin' day.

These platforms are more realistic, yet still provide enough flair to make a LOUD statement.
P.S. Umbrellas? Amazing.

She recently had to perform barefoot on the Tonight Show because someone stole her custom Louboutins. This is what they looked like. Of course, they would look ten times better on her feet.

Guinness Wears McQueen Shoes

Daphne Guinness wore McQueen's amazing alien shoes at Francois Nars' party November 12.

Don't know if I dig the flesh color yet. There's SO MUCH you can do to decorate these shoes. But I suppose it fits the outfit.

Michelle Obama in Sneakers

To celebrate their 100th day in the White House, Michelle Obama and Jill Biden participated in bagging food for needy children at the Capital Area Food Bank in Washington. They both dressed down for the occasion... Jill wore some conservative silver flats. But with Michelle, nothing is ordinary. She wore pink metallic Lanvin captoe sneakers. They cost $540. Yikes.
