· SPECIAL
· Comfortable
· Something I’ll love for a long time
So here’s where my latest discovery comes in. I wrote about some off the charts, crazy, fun shoes last year—and these new ones are more than qualified to head up the ranks! Thank goodness for the New York Times or just think where this discovery would be (nowhere). My mom and I were going through the Sunday paper when our jaws dropped simultaneously and we probably looked like that scene in a movie when the prince spontaneously drops to one knee and asks a maid to marry him. We were shocked, excited, panicked, and amazed. But no handsome youth had just walked through the back door. We’d turned the page to a full-spread add for a Christian Louboutin shoe. As I’m typing this right now, I must admit that I’m appalled at one thing: apparently “Louboutin” is not considered a correctly spelled word. Well shame on you, autocorrect! It is one of the most justified words in the world.
This, my fellow shoe-lovers, is called the Loubi Zeppa Crisscross Wedge. This Christian Louboutin shoe is a platform heel decorated in fun, spirited cut-out patches. These patches are multicolored stars, kisses, letters, and of course little badges that say Christian and Louboutin. They’re a special limited edition shoe that was only sold at Bergdorf Goodman’s store in NYC , and Mr. Louboutin even dropped in for three hours on Tuesday, January 31! To spare you the pain any longer, here is a photograph of these wonderful shoes.
As you can see, these shoes are the definition of FABULOUS. And in comparison with the ideal shoe list, they are:
Cute ✔
Flattering ✔
Totally match-able ✔
Fun ✔
Flirty AND sophisticated ✔✔
So special I can’t even say ✔
Something that’ll be adored for a very long time ✔
The colors are great, and—since it is an irresistible law of nature—these shoes will match with tons of things in nearly everyone’s closet because we all own, between our skirts, shirts, pants, dresses, and leggings, something black, something red, and something that’s probably either yellow, gold, or blue. Therefore, these genius-created shoes will match to your closet; no matter how inspired you may be to go out and buy expensive accoutrements to match these heels, just remember that they were made to match you.
The cuteness and fun-ness of the Loubi Zeppa Crisscross Wedge are pretty much self-explanatory, but I shall add one thing. Obviously, someone had fun designing these shoes. On a purely rational level, no one can actually incorporate shoes, stars, hearts, cursive, rhinestones, and Christian Louboutin without having a good time (at least I know that for me this holds true!).
I love them!!!
So these shoes are fabulous.
But, being practical, I will share some sadder stats with you before I break your heart with platform heels.
These wedge heels are 5 ½ inches high
These shoes are limited edition
They cost $1,095.00!
So that’s what a bank account looks like in a shoebox, ladies and gentlemen. If you’re ever doubting the security of keeping money in our economic-crisis ridden banks, then feel free to go buy these $1,095 shoes. With the dollar as it is today, it’s actually possible that these shoes could be a prudent investment one day in the future. Just think: what socialite in 5 years wouldn’t want a never-before-worn Limited Edition Christian Louboutin wedge heel from the year that the world was supposed to end? So there you go—a bank account in a box!
And, just saying, who wouldn’t want to be in THESE in 2012?
