Christian Louboutin Spring 2012 / Shoe of the Day #14

Today's Shoe of the Day is, well, more than one shoe!  I can't decide which of the following from the Christian Louboutin Spring 2012 Collection I wanted to use for Shoe of the Day, so I thought I'd just feature my fav's out of the collection:

Torero 

Bollywoody

Lady Corset

Mad Moi Top

Cheyenne

Ohhh, to have those in my shoe closet!  Ahhhh, a girl can dream, right?!?!  As for the rest of the collection.....in my opinion, it is not spectacular enough to show them individually, so I grabbed this group photo to show the others (Torero is shown in both colors in this pic...the only 2 that I like in it).

What do you think?  If you could get a pair out of the collection, which would you grab?  I'd have such a hard time choosing!  I love Torero and Bollywoody, but would probably make most use of Lady Corset or Mad Moi Top.

Shoe of the Day #5/Louboutin Look-Alike

Today's shoe is "Siobhan".  Why did I choose Siobhan?  Simple.  Siobhan closely resembles Louboutin's Daffodile 160mm (which retails for $1,095) but has the more budget friendly price tag of $39.95!!

If you read "gossip magazines" (which are my guilty pleasure...USWeekly, InTouch, Life & Style) or watch entertainment news shows (E! News, Extra, etc) then the shoes may look familiar.  Celebs LOVE "Daffodile", and are seen wearing them, fairly often.

Side by Side comparison in teal (photo done by ME).  Not EXACTLY alike, but definitely close!!

Side by Side in taupe (also done by ME).

Opinions?  Like them?  Leave them?  I know some of you ladies are VERY against "knock offs".  I'm okay with them, as I am hardly able to afford a pair of $1,000 shoes.  Plus, while very similar, there are enough differences that they're definitely not a "copy" of the Daffodile.  Hey, there is the saying "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" for a reason!  ;)

Idea for what to wear, just replace the black booties w/Siobhan (either color would work, really)!

Shoe of the Day #3

Today's shoe.....well, just kills me to say, I HATE it.  Anyone who has been reading this blog for awhile, knows I LOOOOOOVE Louboutin.  LOVE.  That said, I do not know what on Earth he was thinking when he designed this shoe.

Alex Lion Paw Pumps, $4,995!!

The "Alex Lion Paw Pumps" are not only UGLY, they also come with the ridiculous price tag of $4,995!  I'm sorry, but I wouldn't wear them if he paid me $4,995!  Ok, well, I probably would, but still.  They're ugly.  I don't care how "fashion forward" he is trying to be.  These shoes look ridiculous, even on "Fashionistas" such as Blake Lively, and Sarah Jessica Parker.

That is really all I can say on today's shoe.  Ugly and overpriced.  Sorry, Loub, you missed the mark on this one.  :(  This however, is MY opinion.  What is yours?  I'd love to hear thoughts on this shoe!
