Victoria Secret - Designer shoe looks for the budget fashionista

Who doesn't need to cut back a little in today's economy? No need to sacrifice on style though! Victoria' Secret serves up these Christian Louboutin knockoffs for what would probably be just the cost of tax and shipping alone on the real deal. Vicky has been knocking off CLs pretty regularly lately. I have noticed they have removed the red soles though. Probably got a call from Louboutin's lawyers :)

Pelle Moda seems to be on a copying frenzy.

And Oh Deer is at it again also...sans the red soles. Here is their copy of the Louboutin Mad Mary.

Note that I'll be missing in action for a little while as I am getting married and need to focus on the wedding planning in lieu of the blogging. See you all again soon!

Looking for fuschia shoes?

Christian Louboutin Fuschia Very Brode pumps $1095 at Net-a-Porter.com
I am kind of relieved that they are not available in size 42 or I'd be tempted.

New Christian Louboutin Passementerie Pump

These shoes are just hotness!!!! Ok, the price is out of control but these are just amazing. They feel like you should be doing a Spanish ballroom dance or something with a red rose in your hair. Available currently for pre-order at NeimanMarcus.com. I got these beauties and had to send them back...the toe box fit was way too tight despite my efforts to squeeze into them. Too bad there was no larger size for me to move up to because these were too hot. Maybe I can get some custom made one day in a size 43!

She notes that a great thing about the groom is that he is tall so she can rock her high heeled pumps because she is so not a flats girl.

Back from Paris! Christian Louboutin shop pics

Sorry for the delay in posting. Between wedding planning and a trip to Paris, I've been a busy bee. Of course a lot of visiting Paris is about absorbing the cultural sites but you know it is all about the fashion and shopping as well! I have much to report.

First, I'd like to share photos that I took at the Christian Louboutin boutique at 19 Rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau during my trip to Paris. I was hoping to find something unique or to see if they had the hard to find size 42s. I asked the SA if it was worth going to the other shop for and she didn't think it was as they had about the same selection. She only had 2 pairs of 42s in the store...very plain styles. The styles that were out on display were nothing special that can't be easily found in the US. The SA concurred that I have access to everything they sell there and probably more in the US. So shopping for Louboutin shoes in Paris was not an exciting highlight of the trip. I got lost finding it the first day I tried because the road splits and the part of Rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau that I walked down the first day was higher numbers.
