I just snagged these Giuseppe Zanotti rubber wedge boots on eBay. With a pebbled rubber wedge and fur lining, these’ll be perfect for Sundance–and those 72°F and sunny December days in LA.

It gets cold when you sit all day at your desk in just a La Perla laser-cut thong.

No one ever said working from home was glamorous…

With their bizarre garter strap, Prada lug-sole boots remind me of the few times I’ve read Twitter.

You just sit there wondering why…

I’m sorry if this shearling Casadei lug sole boot upsets you –

It took me a moment to get over the fur being fake, too…

Justifying something as practical is usually a sign of compromising one’s values.

I’d know, that’s how I’m telling myself that these Camilla Skovgaard over-the-knee lug sole boots are worth wanting, when they’re really rather victim.

As for why I think a 4.5″, $800, over-the-knee boot is practical is another set of issues, one of them being that I have higher taste than most people.

I know, everyday I’m learning to deal with this…

In a shiny, soft gray, with a big black button and baby platform, something about this Stella McCartney rubber wedge boots vibes a little 35-year-old girl.

But the real crime is that these aren’t leather…

The way that this Lanvin rubber wedge boot is almost only one width drives me mad…

I had to warm up to this Celine rubber wedge boot, but I fig the stamped logo will miss most people’s notice, and any of its cheese is outweighed by a rubber wedge boot equal parts pretty and practical. Pretty Woman patent black leather is waterproof, and a platform rubber wedge has treads so you can trek through snow.

I’ve to to consider function over form, sometimes. Los Angeles winters are harsh…

Wanting.

Members-only shopping site HauteLook is having a Manolo Blahnik sale today. Likely a billion-percent-off, these Manolo Blahnik booties in eel are whispering to me…

Wearing.

I’ll be wearing these ponyskin Blahnik booties, soon, anyway, if some chick doesn’t snatch them before me. As for feeling guilty about adoring dead animals, if a pony could make such beautiful booties out of me, it would…

Hating.

For you? For you I give good price on expensive booties that make you look like squat girl from Sexing The City... ]]> http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/05/04/manolo-blahnik-booties-at-hautelook-k-is/feed 0 http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/04/07/bionda-castana-shoes-k-is http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/04/07/bionda-castana-shoes-k-is#comments Tue, 07 Apr 2009 15:42:13 +0000 Kristopher http://www.kristopherdukes.com/?p=2269

Lately I love a classic, clean stiletto. Play with platforms, cavort in kitten heels, try a quirky Cuban — nothing is more flattering than a four-inch stiletto, and luxury line Bionda Castana seemingly gets it. Orange satin is especially choice…

Wearing.

I’ve been looking for a new nude heel, and this Bionda Castana pump’s fun. I love how the flesh toe of the shoe makes your toes disappear, and the emphasis is on that black, stab-you stiletto…

Hating.

As well crafted as these Bionda booties probably are, leave the graffiti mess to that chick who styles like Rihanna’s retarded sister… ]]> http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/04/07/bionda-castana-shoes-k-is/feed 9 http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/01/07/giuseppe-zanotti-mirror-shoes-k-is http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/01/07/giuseppe-zanotti-mirror-shoes-k-is#comments Thu, 08 Jan 2009 05:09:53 +0000 Kristopher http://www.kristopherdukes.com/?p=1625

Wanting.

So a mosaic mirror heel on a patent leather ankle boot vibes a little Beyonce…

Wearing.

A sculptural mirror heel looks even bolder balancing a plain patent pump…

Hating.

That chrome plus a low heel makes these Giuseppe Zanotti mirror heels smell musty mod… ]]> http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/01/07/giuseppe-zanotti-mirror-shoes-k-is/feed 1
