I was looking at the aforementioned Shoe Calendar with all its wild and lovely shoes flipping by, and thought it would be neat to post some of my favourite pages. So here’s a catch-up post with the “best of so far.” The first up for January 5th – “Over-the-knee boots with Chinese-inspired embroidery, Yves Saint Laurent, 2004.” My crappy photograph really does not do these gorgeous boots justice. They are in fact much more leggy and slim, with striking colours and textures.

Next up, from January 12th, a too cute pair of red patent leather T-strap Mary Janes, by Andre Courreges, 1968. Love!

And I couldn’t leave out January 20th’s totally wild fork and wire stiletto by Sergio Alberto Astuto, 2004:

And I just love something about January 27th’s Paul Klee-inspired kidskin pump by Andrea Pfister, 1983. Maybe it’s the fun colours, the jutting shapes, or the fact that it reminds me of playing in my stepmum’s closet of old wild 80s accessories. The sensible heel doesn’t hurt either!
