Brian Atwood Slingback “Candy,” in White

Wanting + Wearing

I bought this Brian Atwood “Candy” slingback in black last week when I was in New York. I walked into Intermix in Soho sporting a pair of black patent Lerre sandals, peeptoe’d with a slingback, but walked out in these Brian Atwood “Candy” sandals. I hate owning two of a kind of anything — and I’ve also got a pair of black Givenchy slingback peeptoes — but these Brian Atwood sandals are more simply sophisticated, and that extra inch of heel stretches your legs another mile.

Now I want the white patent Brian Atwood “Candy” slingback. Five inches of pin-thin stiletto, strapped to your feet with two slivers of patent leather. It’s that architecture — and how it restructures your walk — that gets me…

Alejandro Ingelmo Shoes on Sale K Is…

Kristopher — Mon, 11 May 2009 15:17:18 +0000

Wanting.

Private sales site Gilt.com is blowing out Alejandro Ingelmo shoes today. Maybe I’ve caught sales fever, but I love these black Alejandro Ingelmo shoes on sale. A stilettoed maryjane always vibes buttoned-up sex…

Wearing.

These nude Alejandro Ingelmo shoes on sale beat any basic black pump: nude flows with everything, snakeskin’s always choice, and skin-tone platform pumps stretch your legs long…

Hating.

I know these Alejandro Ingelmo shoes are on sale. But a peep-toe, platform, patent leather, sling-back shoe boot is best left to the retarded sisters of Rihanna…

Oscar de la Renta Shoes on Sale K Is…

Kristopher — Mon, 11 May 2009 14:06:41 +0000

Wanting.

Oscar de la Renta shoes are on sale — think half-off — at members-only shopping site HauteLook.com. Normally jeweled shoes vibe too Beyonce, but you’ve got to see this Oscar de la Renta shoe’s cone-shaped heel…

Wearing.

I’ll be wearing these Oscar de la Renta shoes on sale, soon, anyway. A luxe snakeskin over peep-show, platform peeptoes is choice…

Hating.

If these Oscar de la Renta shoes weren’t on sale, would you have the hots for them? They’re too cute. Too cute, like a puppy hugging Bambi as Audrey Tautou dressed as a Japanese school girl stands near by and flashes peace…
