pre-order: manolo blahnik

Originally uploaded by shoedish

Okay, so we realize that today is turning into quite the expensive shoe day. Do you see what we mean about the median cost of designer shoes and how its growing and growing and growing? If you have $1,195, which I know is just pocket change to most of us, than you’ll need to be jumping on the pre-order luxury shoe wagon at Neiman Marcus to get a chance at these sexy satin quadruple-strapped stilettos from Manolo Blahnik. Manolo is one of the premier shoe designers on the planet and we would love to own a pair of his lovely shoes, but $2,000 for a pair of shoes? That’s 4 months rent in shoedish’s blue collar, affordable world. It’s actually painful for us to imagine spending that kind of money on a pair of shoes. What if they scuffed or God forbid the fabric tore. If we owned these shoes, we’d be too afraid to wear them…too afraid to take them out of the box!

seeing stars: marc jacobs

marc-jacobs-stars.png

Shoedish is seeing stars! Every season, Marc Jacobs has one shoe that becomes an icon of the collection. We’ve seen him transform the mary jane, make mice come alive in a flat, and turn affordable footwear of the past, like jellies, into luxury designer icons. This season, the shoe emerging as the seasons greatest hit might be channeling an 80s cartoon. These pumps from the new Marc Jacobs collection are having fashionistas and trendsetters seeing stars. Here’s the pump that Rainbow Bright would have worn had she ever grown up. The metallic peep-toe style are more whimsical of the two styles. The ribbon detail on these peeps act to make the vamp look like a shooting star. The peeked-toe style has a more structured and sleek design, with star appliques adorning both the vamp and heel. Available for $530 and $495 at eLuxury.com.

‘opinions please’ friday: miu miu carnival

Originally uploaded by shoedish

When we first stumbled across these shoes we thought, my oh my, what a wonderful shoe, but the more we stared at them the dizzier we got and it’s not because of the height of that platform. Miu Miu is to shoes, what clowns are to the circus, which seems rather trite considering their ad campaign from last year. This platform peep-toe from Miu Miu defines the very essence of what happens when shoe meets carnival, we’re just not sure they’re meant for one another. If this platform pump were from Jessica Simpson or Steve Madden or some affordable retail brand we found at Bakers, we might really like them, because we’re pretty sure it’s the price that is making us so resentful. Seriously? Sewing a bunch of plastic sequins onto a standard platform peep-toe really makes them worth $950? Call us crazy, but that’s just insane!!! Thoughts? Opinions?
