What a better way to beat the Monday blues than with a cool sale on some shoes?

See what the Chloe boots look like here on Net a porter’s website, they also look like the Chloe Kimberly without the heels.

*inexpensive.

Be still my heart, while my brain calculates how to get these BALENCIAGAs into my life!

Here I’ve done a bit of leg work and picked 5 of my favorite nude shoes under $50 You can’t beat that! More money left for the drinks on the girls night out, right?

1 - $24.80 on Forever21 – Simple and perfect to pair with jeans and a summer skirt.

2 - $48.30 on Macys.com -INC International Concepts Shoes, Babette Pumps, was $69.00

3 - $33.00 on lulus.com – These Bamboo Magarita Nude Patent Keyhole Platform Slingbacks remind me of these pair of Sergio Rossi. Very classy with a tiny peep hole.

4 – $44.83 on asos.com – ASOS POCKET Court Shoe in a different shade of nude called Dark Nude. I would rather this shade as I have a darker skin tone, and it would give the illusion of lengthen my legs.

5 – $39.50 on torrid.com – These System Nude Patent Leather heels come in a wide width , isn’t that great?

Caroline Issa during Paris Fashion Week

Get them here.

What a way to kick the week off!

I’m so excited and in love with my two new Lanvin shoes, I just had to share.

How lovely are these boxes?

Juicy Red Lanvin Patent Platform Heels

Oh the Glossy Glossy

Box Wide Open

We all know Tiffany & Co and the iconic little blue boxes that have attracted women for ages now ( ie “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” with Audrey Hepburn).

It’s so nice being in Paris to discover the house of Lanvin and now being able to have two of the “other-bigger-iconic-blue-boxes”.

My friend Karla snagged these at the Lanvin Private sale.  Nice to know that my friends understand my shoe porn addiction.

Thank you Karla!

I haven’t done a Shoe Porn post in ages – that doesn’t mean I’ve stopped obsessing – naw. I’ve just been busy.

But here are the picks that have been giving me some liquid dreams:

Maison Martin Margiela  Printed Python Slouch Velvet Booties

I could literally write these shoes a love letter – but I wont put “all” my craziness on display like that!

Burberry Prosum Shealing Low Boots

These are practically sold out everywhere - and not even a Topshop look – a- like will do.

Valentino Studded Kitten Heels

Alright here’s a designer that I have never cared to wear. I dont know my style is a little bit “rough around the edges” and then it was like who ever got the idea for these shoes though just that: we’re going to make heels for the “Yaniques” out there, sweet but with a little bit rough.

It has a kitten heel – which unless I’m dressing for the office I don’t really care for – but I’m 5’9 I don’t need to be wearing 5 inch heels all the time!

Now I must confess that I saw this on Garance Dore during Paris fashion week and they looked so great and comfy.

These are the lizard skin ones

Acne Admire Wedge Boots

Wedged and Rugged – mmmm, need I say more.

I shall be posting some photos of more shoes from the previous Fashion Week.

Let’s face it, sometimes a fashion trend is not necessarily worth splurging on – because today’s fashion craze can easily become tomorrows nostalgia.

Thats why we have to love Forever 21, Target, H&M (I bought some pretty interesting red caged shoes a month ago that are sick!)  and even Payless (I was loving some of the shoes from the collaboration with Christian Siriano).

Would you rock the cheaper ($27.80) F21 version or the real deal Ann Demeulemeester Open-Front Sandal Boots
($965.00)?

Be honest now

Candy Pratt over at Style.com knows a thing or two about forcasting the season next big trends and IT items. She might be on to something here with her latest round up of the Fall Winter 2010 seasons must have acceosries. Yes, we will all still be falling over in the highest heels,but with buckled details.

Here’s my pick of the boots that will be warming up our winter.

This is my shoe porn, my addiction that makes life worth living.
I’ve got a shoe complex… I know and I shamelessly embrace my issues!

I organize them in three plastic buckets under our bed, just like teenage boys do with their porn magazines (except for my YSLs).

funny!
