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.

Sequined flats by Louboutin and OhDeer!

Want a flashy festive evening shoe but are are not feeling like 4 inch heels? Looking for a shoe to change into after dancing for hours in stilettos that you can slip in your purse? Looking for a shoe to change to at your wedding reception to give your feet a break from heels? I have the perfect solution in the new sequined flats that are out now by a variety of designers. Of course Christian Louboutin has his version which are $880 at Neimans and Bergdorfs if you want to go high end. If you are seeking the look in a more affordable brand without Louboutin's trademark red sole...try the $110+ Oz style by OhDeer! brand. I opted for the cheaper version and find them very comfy and true to size. Zappos did not have my size 11 so I had to go to the source at the OhDeer! website. I may just have to get these in black sequins as well.

Chanel 2.55 bag - new metallics for Spring 2008

One of the iconic Chanel bags has been revamped this season in metallic shades of dark silver, gold, purple, navy blue, black and red. Another 'dark silver' was released last year that has more of a bronze tone to it versus the new one which is more of a pewter/anthracite. With waiting lists that were filled before they even were delivered to stores...count yourself lucky if you find one. They come a range of sizes from the very small which would be great for evening bag use to the gigantic extra large or Jumbo size (my personal favorite) which has plenty of room for everyday use. The sizes vary in price so this bag can be had from the $2000s to approx. $3500 for the largest. In the past this bag has also been available in dark gold, white, gray, black, black patent, gold and light silver.
