It’s a shoeicide!

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

Want sexy nude heels like the Christian Louboutins Rihanna is always wearing, but don’t want to spend a fortune? Not all less expensive nude heels look cheap and you can buy many online that are actually made of leather and under $100.

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?

What I Wore Today

[ Wearing H&M white blouse, YSL Blue Denim, YSL Blue Heels, Hugo Boss Blue Clutch, Michael Kors Watch]

How are you all doing today? The sun is out here in Paris and so are the masses. I’m so thankful not to be freezing my tush off anymore!

At first I didint want to post these photos because I’m not very happy with them, as there wasnt enough lighting.We took them as a quick shot after I dropped Pierre off at school. This is a part of his courtyard.

But I hope they can still be a bit inspirational of how all you need is a pair of nice jeans, some sexy shoes and some killer accessories like my Marni-esque clutch and my oversized mens watch.

Talk about scandals of 2011 and this will no doubt will be on the list next to that of John Galliano and Christian Dior.

Who owns the red shoe sole?

Can you tell the difference?

The famous French footwear designer Christian Louboutin has entered into a litigation war with iconic french couture house Yves Saint Laurent, for what it claims to be infringement on the use of their ”red sole” design on shoes.

According to business week “Louboutin, based in Paris, said Yves Saint Laurent is selling shoes with red soles that are “virtually identical” to its own, according to a suit filed today in federal court in Manhattan. It seeks a court injunction against the sale of the shoes and damages of at least $1 million.”

So far Yves Saint Laurent , the company that is now owned by Paris-based PPR,  has no comments. Let’s see what evolves as the weeks progress.

Yves Saint Laurent passed away in 2008.
