Cool Collaboration! Mattijs for United Nude
Feb 22nd
United Nude works its collaboration fashion magic once again, this time with Dutch designer Mattijs, who created these original (& definite conversation-starter piece!) shoes for the brand. Exclusive to United Nude, these crazy peep-toe stilettos created in wonderfully lush colors & materials (loving the rich royal blue suede & the gold-washed turquoise) will be available at unitednude.com for Spring 2012.
These heels remind me of something otherworldly; deep within the sea. Definitely something that would be worn by the those living in an underwater Atlantis. You know, if living in water required platform shoes! Hopefully retailers in Canada will have these readily available. Calling out Balisi in Toronto to have these in stock

Doc Martens Spring 2012 Launch – Toronto
Feb 20th
Doc Martens recently held their 2012 Spring collection launch at the Queen St. West store in Toronto, Canada & there was enough trend-drenched popping color, pattern & sparkle to go around! Some of my faves include the pink-on-pink bubblegum-like original Doc lace-up shoes, stiletto knee high boots & booties, funky colored wedge desert-style boots & last, but definitely not least, the Swarovski crystal-encrusted limited edition shoes. Check out the gallery, below, for more pics of the spring/summer collection.

Freak-Shoe Friday – A Shitty Stiletto
Feb 17th
“Fashion” poop or a rude hand gesture? It really depends on how you want to look at it. One thing, however, is clear: this is by no means an attractive piece of footwear. I mean, at least the Massimo Dogana’s “F*uck You Shoe” has some sort of fashion flair & doesn’t quite look like your grandma stepped in poop on the streets of Paris! Couldn’t they have at least picked a more attractive leather color?
Shoes like this make me go hmmm. And then weep.
That is all.

I Want! Yves Saint Laurent’s Starfish-Spangled Wedge
Feb 12th
A little Charlotte Olympia resonates in these silver starfish printed navy blue Yves Saint Laurent Spring 2012 wedge sandals. The curved white outsole is what give the shoes that extra punch for me! Newly available online from NetaPorter for $745, these would make a great addition to any summer wardrobe. I particularly like the way the online retailer has styled a pseudo-nautical look incorporating them (see below).

Freak-Shoe Friday: The Yeti & The Palm Tree
Feb 10th
One boot for your Yeti fetish, the other for your desperate attempt to bring the Caribbean to the cold wintery North. Aldo really missed the mark on these two winter boot styles! No wonder they’re both on sale (with a plentiful stock!).
I’m not quite sure which one is worse, really. Then again, I’d probably have a harder time wearing the hairy leg boot more than the explosion of flora-like faux fur. But with all the proper (and stunning) winter boots out there, why settle for a freak-shoe boot!? Life’s short cold; glam it up!
That is all.

Weekend Sheepskin Shoe Steal!
Feb 5th
This one’s a goody: Locale‘s “Feldhake” leather boot with sherpa trim in the taupe colorway is down to $44.99 from $160 Cnd. That’s a pretty fabulous shoe sale if I’ve ever seen one! What I’m loving is the distressed heel & toe. Would look great with a comfy wool creme sweater & grey pants for a laid-back, cozy après-ski look! This style is also available in black for $54.99.
Happy weekend shopping!
