Cinderella Gone Bad

These totally wild shoes are made by Etsy shoe artisan everlastingfashion.

Perfect for a night out on the town with your prince, and with those fearsome spikes, you can bet your evil stepsisters won’t mess with you.

They’re made with shards of broken glass (hopefully not bad luck), a collage of crystals, pearls and glass embellishments, small Swarovski crystals on the back and heels, and a row of spikes up the back.

For $475 these whimsical pumpkin-kickers can be yours. The shop has a bunch of other fabulous handmade shoes too, including a pair for the Royal Wedding that I’ll post soon! So much fun…browsing the shop gives me the biggest urge to pull out the glue gun and jazz up some of my shoes. It’s times like this that I miss my childhood Bedazzler

Stiletto Shoe Chairs - Tacktastic!

Secretly, (okay, not secretly at all) I love fabulous tacky things. So let me tell you, I love LOVE this huge stiletto shoe chair. I would never entertain such a thing in my living room (it would clash with my giant wicker giraffe), but wouldn’t it be marvellous in – every woman’s stereotypical holy grail – a walk in closet as big as a room? In my case, since our bedroom is essentially a closet, I covet this chair for my sewing room. It would be so awesome.

I stumbled upon the stiletto chair on eBay, where else. Made by UK company BWFurniture, they’re available in a bunch of different colour and fabric combinations. The pictured teal & leaf fabric combo is my fav, but if you wanted to take the tacky to a whole new level you could combine leopard print and zebra print!*

They’re only available to parts of the UK, so that is unfortunate for those of us on the wrong side of the pond. If they were made in Canada I don’t think I could restrain myself.

*I am not responsible for any fashion-related catastrophes resulting from the leopard/zebra fabric combination, including but not limited to: spray tan addiction; overwhelming attraction to long fake nails and piles of gold jewelry; sudden spike in polyester/spandex blend clothing acquisition.

This may be the only way that someone could get me into a pair of (F)UGGs. The bows are a nice touch, no?

I kind of love these “Funtasma Witch” shoes. They’d be awesome for Halloween costumes, and they’re just over $30. The ones pictured are patent, but they also come in black PU.

Okay, clearly I spend entirely too much time on Etsy. But how fabulous is this silver stiletto bootie shoe necklace?? Love it! Etsy artist ANORIGINALJEWELRY says it was inspired by her “never ending obsession with the sexy silhouettes of Christian Louboutin shoes.” She definitely nailed it in this piece. Gorgeous! Let’s see how long I can restrain myself from ordering it…

I’m undecided about these Yves Saint Laurent cage boots. I can’t decide if I want to wear them or grow zuchinni plants up them. They’re architecturally interesting, odd looking but neat. But they look uncomfortable as hell! Every one of those little squares is an opportunity to collect a nice chaffing little blister. And the $1400 price tag is definitely out of my range. But I concede that these could be pretty awesomely rocked with the right outfit and the right legs and feet.

Check out these commemorative Obama shoes! Cheesy and patriotic – dig it!

I still think the Obama Force One take the cake for Obama shoe awesomeness though.

Check out these super cool vintage shoes on Etsy:

tango-shoes

They’ve got tango dancers on them, and if that wasn’t cute enough, there are accordions with music piping out of them on the sides:

They have what looks to be a very sensible heel, so I’ll bet you could tango all night in these beauties.

How cute is this resin-casted red vintage Barbie shoe? It’s’ done up as a ring, but I think it would make a totally cute necklace or pin too (I totally can’t pull off giant rings like this). There’s also a pink and a white Barbie shoe ring up right now, and the artist says she has a whole collection of these shoes in different colours to make neat stuff with. Check it out on Etsy.

Christian Louboutin Super Woman Boots

cl-boots Are these boots the hottest or what?

The Christian Louboutin “Super Woman” over-the-knee boots “boldly feature glossy patent leather, edgy graffiti print, and a sexy thigh-high length.” And of course, they rock Christian Louboutin’s signature red sole, which makes for an awesome colour contrast with the blue/black.

I don’t think I could effectively chase down the bad guys in 4.5″ stilettos, but they sure look bad-ass. I’m pretty sure all you’d need to do is just show up and raise an eyebrow and the crooks would just tie themselves up at your feet.

Then again, Halle Berry wore some wicked impractical shoes in Catwoman, so maybe fighting crime in sky-high heels is a superpower in itself.

Wanna try? You too can be SuperWoman for just over $1000 US.
