Cage Match

We all know I totally loved these...



But what do you think about these "Cage Boots" from Manolo Blahnik?

Do you think it is odd that they did there is now another "cage boot"?

Also, WTF is with there being Pre-Fall shoes already? I can't even wear shoes for Spring yet because it's too darn cold and rainy. I don't want to think about Fall yet! I swear to the lord, if they start combining Easter and Christmas I'm going to lose it! Quit pressuring me!

Just Rip My Soul Out, Why Don't You

So I got them.

I tried them on. They fit great. Love. Adoration. Etc. Etc.

Looked at them in the mirror.

Agast!

What do you mean these look best on someone a good 4 -5 inches taller than me and on me they cut me off horribly?

Sob!


P.S. I quickly returned them so I wouldn't not get more attached than I already was to them. Do I regret it already... yes.

Under Lock and Key

You don't always go looking for a new love. Sometimes they just find you. Last fall, I saw these cage boots on the YSL runway and thought they were interesting. But over time they have continued to grow on me and my love for them grew as well. I said I wanted more graphic edgy shoes...

well, I think these fit the bill.





They are even more structural and Eiffel Tower-like than the Jil Sanders heels I was denied.

I. Love. This. Heel.

When they were shown on the runway, they were paired some some amazing classic and artfully draped styles that contrast with the graphic nature of the boot.

I love this. A slouchy dress that you could almost mimic with a big sweatshirt and jersey fabric skirt.

And the simple knit top and pencil skirt in a very class taupe.

If I do get these boots (ohhhh... I'm so tempted!) they will be a great conterpoint to my simple styles.
