There are those that pride themselves on their pet snakes. The second you walk in their door they are bringing out their scaly friends and forcing them over your shoulders, reassuring you that it's completely safe. Your knees are shaking and you're repeating in your head over and over again, "Please don't bite me, please don't bite meeeeeeeee." They make you watch them eat a mouse, and you sit politely, attempting not to recoil at mother nature staring you in the face. To each his own, right? My own preference is footwear, and my own version of this is snake-skinned heels - more specifically the Casadei Python-Embossed Platform Pump.
In my house, I bring you to my closet and force you to look at all of my 'pets', my shoes. I promise you that they won't hurt when you put them on and wear them for the night and I show you where they live, in uniform clear plastic boxes with pictures on the front. In my dream closet I'd have these hot, biting heels ready for your viewing pleasure. They'd be a favorite with a gorgeous almond toe and 6 inch heel, coming in two colors - sand and flame red. Added bonus? They don't eat mice.
In high school astronomy class, constellations were defined as a pattern of prominent stars viewable from earth. There's the Big Dipper, Little Dipper, Draco, and Orion (MIB anyone? Anyone? Bueller?). That's all well and good, but I've got my eye on a more fashionable constellation - the Jimmy Choo Crystal Beaded Mesh Pump.
The beading on these sheer pumps are expertly placed and appear as beautiful constellations of crystals on your feet. This classic pump style, with 4.5 inch heel, is modernized with a light, pleated mesh and delightfully dainty crystals. Obviously more of an evening shoe, you'll dazzle at a dinner party with these lovelies. The Great Bear ain't got nothin' on you!
Like father, like daughter. He lovingly passed on his temper, hair and toes to me (At least the first three toes. The other two, the crooked ones, are my mom's.) - and possibly my shoe issue? I grew up seeing my dad wear these tassled shoes with those terrible socks, you know the argyle with the mismatched colors? The colors that don't even go together? Yeah, those. Well, while perusing the amazingness that is the Neiman Marcus website, I happened upon these beauties - the Christian Louboutin Tasseled Platform Pumps.
How much do I love thee? Let me count the ways. The color is right on trend and will remain timeless as the years come. The exaggerated tassels give an added flair for fashion while remaining on the conservative side. And, last but not least, the heel is hot at a towering 5.5 inches. These reinvented beauties are just what Fall ordered. I can see it now - a crisp white oxford, a warmly colored, high-waisted skirt and these babies on my feet at the office. Suspenders optional.
