I Wish Shoe Candy

I'm sorry but I just could not resist posting these gorgeous shoes for you to admire, ogle and drool over.  It seems that shoes are fast becoming my latest obsession.  I just have to find the most outrageous designs possible so I can share them with you. 

Alexander McQueen thigh-high boots and Givenchy bag.

In truth I am not someone who owns many pairs.  I guess I am a late bloomer with shoes and have only recently begun to see the benefits of wearing something exquisite on my feet.

Wouldn't it be nice to have this collection of shoes (belonging to Julia Restoin-Roitfeld) to choose from?

Balmain Gladiators.

Let's face it these are so sexy and if I had the chance to buy them and wear them daily, why wouldn't I?

Nicholas Kirkwood shoes with gorgeous tuxedo pants. 

I am becoming more and more fascinated with the way shoe design is evolving.

House of Harlot.  

Althuogh I'm not sure how you would even go about putting some of these designs on, let alone actually walk in them.  They look spectacular but honestly, has practicality gone completely out the window with these designers?

Topshop. 

These look cute with tights and socks.

Prada shoes with patterned tights.

Shoes are nonetheless the finishing touch to an outfit.  Finding the right shoe can take time.  I know this to be true because I went through this experience just this morning.

Alaia.

It appears as if shoes are the new "It Bag" because I've noticed that more and more magazines are featuring page after page of shoes.  Higher in heel and price than ever before and the more spectacular the better.

I admit that I am not the owner of many many shoes, but the ones I do have I love to pieces.  I keep them all in their boxes, I look after them well and make sure that they all get a turn about at least once a season.

I often dress myself backwards, as in from toe to head, building my look from the feet up.  Sometimes a shoe just has to be worn, regardless of anything else.
