Black is the New ... Black?

"About half my designs are controlled fantasy, 15 percent are total madness and the rest are bread-and-butter designs." - Manolo Blahnik (Spanish born British designer; b. November 27th, 1942)

What's better than finding an amazing pair of shoes? Absolutely nothing, in my opinion. Introducing the Chloé Leather Shoe Boots, hooked with a pricetag of $387. I've personally never seen a heel similar to these, and I'm in love. Take a look for yourselves. Photograph one: magazine photoshoot featuring the Chloé boots ; photograph two: Mandy Moore wearing the Chloé boots.





Amazingly enough, these babies have a sister. And this sister is extremely cheap. Take a look at Forever 21's imitation shoes, the $28 Patent Peep Toes. Is it a sign, or what?



Oh, how I love reasonable prices. And, before I go, I must mention this gorgeous Dorothy Perkins skirt. Isn't the detailing just fantastic? I think it would go well with a certain pair of small leather boots ...

    I have the knock-off versions in beige with pink heels. I've worn them once because they are an awkward height and pretty uncomfortable, unfortunately.

    Amazing shoes! I love that Forever21 would do a copy of every popular pair of shoes. That skirt is a knock-out! I love the drape details and the color is gorgeous! xxoxoxo

    woooo hoo! Good F21 find. It's been a while since I've walked in there, so I'm hoping they have this pair in the store.

    oh i've always loved those Chloes! and now that F21 created its bastard sister there's no reason why everyone should have them.
    i really liked the ones that were similar to these, from a few seasons back, the white ones with the hot pink details.

    The skirt and those shoes would look amazing together. The voluminous angles of the skirt will pair greatly with the angle of the heel and the cut out design. I love f21 shoes, they're so great and vegan!

    I was just going to say that those two together (the F21 knockoffs and the Perkins skirt that is) would be fabulous!

    I think the shoes are gorgeous but are limited in versatility so I'd be going the F21s alll the way.

    p.s. Love your blog :)

    I love the f21 inspired one, the pink and white ones were great too. I would have obviously chosen the black though. You have a great eye pretty baby.
