Wanting.

I love stingray, especially in steel, especially over steel heels.  The Donna Karan Collection shoes I’m “wearing” I found on sale at Loehmann’s, which is my guilty pleasure: I love the hit-or-miss hunt there.  Too bad these darlings weren’t also lying on some shoddy table, tagged less than a benjie…

Wearing.

You need to see the python in person: it’s a sharp chartreuse, and the scales are flaking off softly, so you get a rich pastry texture. That five inch heel doesn’t hurt how your legs look, either…

Hating.

The beauty of Donna Karan Collection shoes I love are in their bold simplicity. Cheap baubles are just distracting…

Wanting: Stella McCartney Espadrille with Closed Toes

Espadrilles are choice for summer: an ambitious arch is easy to wear when its woven into a relaxed wedge.  I’m a sucker for closed-toe espadrilles: I like the classic contrast with the open back…

Wearing: Stella McCartney Espadrilles with Scarf Ties

I bought these Stella McCartney espadrilles on sale at Intermix and wore them every day on my vacay. The knotted scarf ties are great, but what really got me was that woven wedge.  I love the lines; it exaggerates the arch of the shoe…

Hating: Flat Stella McCartney Espadrilles

All you need to know is that these Stella McCartney espadrilles are flat…

Wanting.

Casadei mules slip you into easy glamour –  a sky-high slide vibes so ’30s-screen-siren dressing room. I love the rich minimalism of these horn-heeled Casadei mules…

Wearing.

I bought these Casadei mules for $150 on Amazon — a total fluke (and you can still get them in white).  Just a few straps of leather and a pin-thin stiletto, the shoes wear like air. And I adore that shimmering nude leather — the Casadei mule disappears into your foot, giving your leg length…

Hating.

With a mirror gold platform, an inch of bright white to set off a turquoise patent leather strap, maybe I’m just jealous I don’t have manmade breasts and an Estonian billionaire first ex-husband to match…

Wanting.

Over five inches of an angular arch, these Giusppe Zanotti platform wedges are so ridick it’s hard to imagine what you’d wear them with. So wear them with nothing…

Wearing.

I bought these Giuseppe Zanotti platforms in Miami last summer, for less than two Benjies. The back of the wood heel has got this great curve…

Hating.

If strippers wore $600 shoes…

Wanting.

These Giuseppe platform peeptoes are perfect: design equal parts interesting and classic, sex that dances between obvious and elegant….

Wearing.

The patent black of these Giuseppe Zanotti peeptoes ties the T-strap to that patterned platform…

Hating.

Being well dressed is wearing things that background your beauty, not distract from it. These loud Giuseppes are perfect for the ugly chick with the bad boob job…

Wanting.

Nude suede peeptoes drowning in Swarovski crystals are so obvious, old school glam, like Marilyn Monroe’s “Happy Birthday” dress.

Shimmering sex that’s both under- and overstated: just how your New Year should be rung in…

Wearing.

3½” heels are a ½” too short, but that carved resin heel is too gorgeous. Such a simple nude shoe, set off by a mosaic stiletto is genius.

Like lingerie for your feet, Giuseppe Zanotti nude shoes are better than naked…

Hating.

Giuseppe Zanotti is one of the few brands I’m a whore for: Giuseppe makes shoes that are quirky, over-the-top sex.

Which means Giuseppe sometimes designs nude shoes like these.

Thank god they’re out of stock — there’s already enough ugly in the world…

Wanting

A golden penny tucked into a crocodile platform pump is rather ironic.

Or it was, two years ago. Now, I’d consider it savings…

Wearing

I love looking down at the tops of these Givenchy platform sandals: the crisscross cut-outs are perfectly symmetrical. Everything in life should be so intentionally beautiful.

Which reminds me, I’m late for some needles in 90210…

Hating

Dudes speeding in Lambos in suburbia, kissing a chick and swearing you like it, and furred peep-toe Givenchy booties that make you uncomfortable to look at are all of the same soul–

There’s no elegance in such obvious effort…

Wanting.

These shoes show the only marriage that interests me: one of form and function…

Wearing.

Throw on a coat and f**k-you heels, go blow bucks at ‘Bucks…

Hating.

The latest chastity belt: crafty and more overpriced than virginity…
