Boutique 9

Originally uploaded by shoedish

Shoedish got a little green in the face this morning. Not that we’re apologizing for the overload of the shades of green posts, but we did notice the burst of sunshine pushing its way off the page. Coincidence? I guess we’ll never know. These pretty triple-strap pumps are a change of green pace, though equally as fun, flirty, and bright. Is it just us or is Boutique 9 from Nine West trying to channel Dior? That was a rhetorical question, of course, because these shoes practically knocked Dior’s Jazz Club Collection in the head and stole their buttons. Still, it’s rather pretty and we’ll take the copycat for a mere fraction of the designer price…plus it’s purple, which is shoedish’s other favorite color. Looks like today is a day for the traditional color splash - red, green, and purple, oh my!

RSVP

Now that, my shoe friends, is a vamp bow! Excuse me RSVP, Minnie Mouse called and she says she’d like her headband back now. Is it just us or do these shoes look befitting of Barbie’s foot; a little too plastic? There’s this wild shoe phenomenon going on right now where patent has gone from shiny plastic to gross rubber and these shoes are no exception. There is such a thing as too much and these plastic wedges from RSVP have taken there cue from Antonio Gaudi and then for some unGodly reason pushed it up a notch. We’re not feeling the shoe love, RSVP, and you’re totally ruining our green streak. Thoughts? Opinions?

Versace

Did you know that there are 8 days in the week? Well, that’s what our favorite celebutard, Aubrey O’Day thinks - further pushing that blonde stereotype - but we’ll interject here, not to defend the Danity Kane singer, but to wonder briefly about this phenomenon. Oh, the possibilities…

On the eighth day, God created shoes!

It’s like gold in our mouth…hmmm, not sure that metaphor works, but anyway. Not that shoes need any help in the fantasy department, but try to imagine the feast of love and international devotion. It makes our toes wiggle. Here’s a shoe from Versace that shoedish will being kneeling for. BTW: We’re sure that little “8 days a week” comment was a tongue slip, as she’s doing 8 shows a week. It could happen to anyone. Aww, look at shoedish being nice.
