We have been talking a lot about shoes for Fall 2009, I’m not sure if you’re tired of seeing shoes on our blog yet, but our designers are certainly not tired about them, there are actually more interesting designs this year than ever.  This year is all about making a statement, you either go crazy with your neck line, your high shoulder pads, like the ones from Balmain, Distress Jeans, and of course, the crazy shoes designs.

We’ve talked about shoe collections from Barbara Bui, Christian Louboutin, and Yves Saint Laurent; now let’s take a look at Balmain, DSQUARED2 and Alexander Wang’s Fall 2009 shoe collection.

Any shopaholics like myself know Gilt. For those who don’t know, it is one of the BEST online sample sales website out there. They’ve got luxury brands for less, sales run around the clock. Each event lasts about a day, usually begins at 11am the day of. It is by invitation only and it is on a first come first served basis. They do offer waiting list – when an item is sold out, they will contact your via email for an exclusive private sale when they have another shipment. Past sales include Christian Louboutin, Alexander McQueen, Thakoon, Marc Jacobs, Alexander Wang, Ted Baker to name a few. Sales happening right now: Helmut Lang, Just Cavalli, John Varvatos…etc.

You see, I like shoes, but I’m crazy about bags. So to me, anything higher than 4″ in heels, it’s useless. Or if they cost more than $300 a pair, I’d rather spend that on a bag. Until I saw this:

Christian Louboutin Nitoinimoi Bandage Ankle Boots

Also Smeal, Cdn$125

I was at a luncheon wedding yesterday for a good friend of mine, so I picked up these heels from Aldo Shoes couple of days before the wedding, which I thought they totally rock!!  I wore it and…it was fine at the beginning.  Until…I was there and trying to find the entrance with up hill and down hill, I forgot how many times I tripped and almost fell down, not a beautiful scene!!  After the wedding reception, I also felt like I want to chop my feet off, I might still wear them next time cuz I love them so much, but only on the days that I don’t have to walk AT ALL.
