Freak-Shoe Friday
Freak-Shoe Friday: Mrs. Santa Shoes by Marc Jacobs
Dec 14th
What better way to get right into the holiday spirit, than to don some fantastically expensive, crystal-clad black leather pilgrim shoes? As is apparently obvious, NETAPORTER‘s fashionably styled model’s clothing (below) cannot mesh with these Marc Jacobs buckled loafers. Probably because their clunky disposition would much better suit a Halloween Mrs Clause Christmas costume.
And no, I’m not talking about that type of get-up you perv! Although thinking about it, even a sexy Santa costume would lose out on any appeal once you’ve slapped these shoes on your feet.
Ho ho ho?

Freak-Shoe Friday: The Matronly Monster
Dec 7th
Oh dear. Recently it was Louboutin, but now my lovely Miu Miu is creating little shoe monsters as well! I get the whole retro vibe & vintage feel (or whatever you fashionistas are calling it these days!) but c’mon, not even 80 karat diamonds could make this loafer a thing of beauty.
And if crystals & baubles can’t mask the ugly, then a very sad shoe it must be indeed.
But then again, maybe you’re into granny panties. If so, congrats! You’ve just found your shoe equivalent! So run along to Neiman Marcus, darling, and purchase your very own patent jeweled loafer pumps before they’re all, uhm, “sold out”.
That is all.

Freak-Shoe Friday: Footwear Crafting Gone Wrong
Nov 30th
This “Erskine” shoe by Degen reminds me of a recycled-fabric-meets-crochet footwear experiment gone terribly wrong. You know, something you’d likely come across on Regretsy, rather than find on sale at an online retailer. I guess it’s time for me to create a Freak-Shoe Friday subcategory called “footwear crafts gone wrong”. In the $500 dollar range, no less.
I’m just confused as to how the black & white tube laces, tweet fabric, blah brown suede upper with a pixelated camo flatform aesthetically combine onto a Camilla Skovgaard-like outsole. The orange yarn loops are to me the most puzzling. DIY WTF much?!
Strangely enough, this design has yet to sell out at Solestruck & is available in all sizes. I know. Shocking.
That is all.

Freak-Shoe Friday: Louboutin’s Cookie Monster Boots
Nov 23rd
Oh, Louboutin. Sometimes you just get shoes. So. Terribly. Wrong. Clearly the love child of Oscar the Grouch & Cookie Monster, this design must be.
But this time, C, it’s definitely not good enough for me.
That is all.
