Balenciaga is a great designer but I have had to raise a brow at some of his high heel shoe designs over the years. In 2007, many people raised a brow when they were first introduced to his high heel shoe that many people felt resembled something made by a child using Lego blocks. Off a runway, I do not think that most women would run to by these heels unless someone paid them to.
I have grown fond of the shoe design but I still would not wear it. I would however like to add it to a collection just to be looked at. These heels are also expensive, coming in at a whopping $4,175 a pair. Sexy crooner, Beyonce was spotted at the AMA's wearing and performing in a pair of these eye catching shoes and all over the internet fans and haters have wondered if she owns a mirror. Let's just hope that they came with the regular celebrity swag and that she did not actually pay for them.
These heels come in bright ugly and plain black but as if that wasn't bad enough, the designer decided that making them into a variety of flats couldn't possibly make them any uglier. Wrong!
Vanity Fair Italy has since been cancelled but these photos are of Drew Barrymore in sexy black high heels from 1992 taken by Peter Duke. You can check out or purchase some of his other works here.
I apologize everyone I have been unable to blog for quite some time. To many problems with blogger. I will be looking for another solution.
As I read up on these high heeled boots, the tag line said "It's pretty safe to say the real challenge will be finding a place we can't wear these boots." and I could only laugh. In my opinion the only way your getting me to step outside in these hideous boots is to drag me out. Good Luck on that.
A large trend that I'm noticing more and more of lately is the wedge style heel. More recently I have seen a lot of gorgeous styles and designs and have decided to pick some up for myself.Due to a more even feel, they balance nicely and I might in the future grab another pair or two.
This wedge called the "Gabriella Black" can be found at Amazon for a mere $29.99 and thankfully goes up to a size 10. Grab a pair and let's get our wedge on.
Red Sexy Knee High Boots
I am beginning to think that their some sort of conspiracy against me. I loved these boots the moment I saw them, but glancing down at them I realize they have my biggest shoe pet peeve. They are pointy at the front.

They are pointy at the front.As you know I hate this. It is a big factor that I find pointed shoes ugly, but most of all they are damn uncomfortable.
As someone who had wide feet, some regular shoes hurt after a while and it is sometimes extremely painful to wear shoes like these. These are a great looking pair of shoes, but this is another pair that won't make it to my closet.
Give Yourself A Pedicure
Tis the season and many of us, or I should say most of us are stressed. So take a little time out and give yourself a pedicure. Save money for those presents and don't spend tons at the nail salon, do it at home. If your not sure where to start I'll do a little how to guide.
1. Get all the tools together that you will need. Here's the list:
Nail Polish remover
Basin filled with warm water to soak your feet
Epsom salt or buy a special product such as my favorite which is a peppermint foot soak.
Toe nail clipper and for really hard nails a heavy duty nail nipper. Looks like sharp pliers. It's a good tool to have for your toe nails.
Nail file
Cuticle moisturizer (optional)
Cotton balls or toe separator
Base coat
Nail polish
top coat
Foot pumice
buffer

2. Remove any nail polish that you might have on. Make sure especially if it's clear polish that it's all gone. If not you won't be able to take the of the nails as thoroughly with the nail polish still covering it.
3. Add epsom salt or store bought product to warm water and soak your feet at least 10-15 minutes. The longer the better especially if your feet are hard and rough on the bottom.
4. Clip toenails with clipper or nipper. Then smooth them with nail file. Also gently push back cuticles and use a cuticle moisterizer if they are still hard.
5. If you have rough feet, use a special scraper to remove dead skin. Or the foot pumice to help get those feet nice and smooth.
6. Dry feet and toes thoroughly and using the buffer, buff your toenails to a healthy shine.
7. Apply base coat and wait for it to dry completely. Next the nail polish and finally the top coat. Don't forget the cotton or toe separator. Also be sure to wait at least an hour before putting on shoes so you don't mess up your new toes.
This should be a fun relaxing thing to do for yourself, so put aside some you time and do this for yourself. Or get that significant other to do it for you. Either way it should be a wonderful moment. Have Fun.
