Take me dancing to the Disco

I can't say that I'm a fan of the 70's disco-influenced decade (something to do with the huge flare on pants I suppose!) however, shoe designers are obviously reminiscing that shiny disco ball era and bringing it out on their shoes.

Glitter peep-toe by Miu Miu

(I stll haven't forgottern that Mohawk!) Electric blue suede pumps by YSL

Gold platform, gold and fuchsia straps and a multicolored glittering heel by Christian Louboutin

    Honestly, these designs actually make you want to break out in some kind of 70's tune.

We say 'NO' to mohawk!

The mohawk hairstyle is disturbing enough (imagine sitting behind one of those at the movies) but adding a touch of mohawk on shoes is clearly a fashion felony (and buyers should be prosecuted). Okay okay maybe I'm overreacting but the sight of these Yves Saint Laurent mohawk (I can't believe I'm even writing this) pumps brought me almost to tears.


It looks like someone hurt a pony to make these shoes. In my opinion a great pair of shoes should not remind a broom

Let it rain!

I hate it when summer ends. However, there's one good reason to look forward to leaves turning yellow, grey skies and temperatures going down: new season boots! Designers are keeping the thing high boots trend trendy for this winter as well and here are my (first) favorite picks of the season.


Signed by Burberry, this mouthwatering python boot is slick, sexy and needs do to some serious walking!




Although I've been drooling all over these the moment I saw them, I must admit that I would be quite reluctant to wear them, as it's kinda tricky to do so without looking trashy (or for trouble).
Thing is, leather and thigh high boots is a lethal combination if not worn correctly. By Christian Louboutin of course, who has the talent to always pleasantly surprise us and get in touch with out inner vixen.



Last but not least! If I had two grand to spare I'd definitely be running to the nearest Giuseppe Zanotti source and get me a pair of these. The luxurious suede material and the soft olive-green color is ideal for this season, which is based on earthly colors. I was never a fan of cowboy boots, but this design definitely inspires me to run off to the wild wild west!

I am now a proud owner of this gorgeous Manolo Blahnik strappy d'Orsay sandal. It comes in a delicious light brown color, with straps that criss cross over the foot and place you 4 inches above ground level. The soft leather makes a walk in these delightfully comfortable and the open toe design is ideal for this early autumn season. If you're a size 36 you're in unbelievable luck, as it's on sale at Neiman Marcus.

Speaking of early autumn (and Manolo Blahnik of course!) you might want to take a look at these gems too. Open toe booties that tie right up to your ankle, that will bring out your wild wild west side.They're fantastic for funky ladies that like to spice up any ordinary outfit and bring the world at their feet (or at least, take notice of them). The price might sting a bit, put if you're willing you can grab your own pair here.

Love for ever

This shoe really makes me think of Carrie when she cried out loud 'Helloooo lover'. This is love at first sight and love for ever (and ever and ever) in black patent leather elevated 12 cm from the ground.

By Christian Louboutin of course, this Pigalle black pump overturns the idea of a typical black shoe and spices it up. With the trademark red sole, it will definitely turn eyes south of your ankles.

It's sexy, it's fearless, it's for women that want to make a statement.

You can grab your own pair and walk high and proud at http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/48417. A pair of shoes you'll never get bored of. This is definitely love for ever!

For shoe lovers only!

Have you ever spent hours on the internet browsing endless websites looking for that next perfect shoe you want to buy?

Ever burned the soles of your (other) gorgeous shoes walking up and down every mall in the quest for the (next) perfect shoe?

I have. And I probably will continue to do so as long as I can walk, breathe and have an internet connection.

Welcome to Cruella's (that loves shoes) blog. You won't be walking out on this one, that's for sure!
