A really bizarre shoe…
And if the combination of ballerina flat and gladiator sandal wasn’t odd enough – it’s made out of a “hypoallergenic plastic material”.
Should Crocs make these instead of Melissa & Vivienne Westwood?
I think it’s time that you made your own decision…

Opinions, please?
I will admit to wearing plastic shoes when I’m out walking my dogs or doing lawn work – but this combination still makes me scratch my head.
Am I missing something?  Is this the most genius shoe design you’ve ever seen?  Let me know!

I know these boots from Sigerson Morrison are really trendy right now, but for some funny reason, they remind me of something:

But I just can’t quite put my finger on it…
I’ve got an idea!

Or maybe:

Which leaves me wondering, why would I want to spend almost $1700 on a pair of boots that remind me of wooden blinds or folding screens?
Ah, the mysteries of the universe!

Okay, I was browsing through Bluefly when Christian Louboutin’s name caught my eye.
Louboutin – on sale – how could I resist?
Until I came across these babies…

My first reaction was…
Hooker boots – really, really expensive hooker boots!
They’re on sale for $1260.00.
Let’s face it – how many “real” women can pull these off?
Is this not look best left as a concept for the runway?
I’m sure a hip and/or trendy nineteen year old in a size 00 could pull these off… but I don’t think I could even pull them on…

Now, before I begin – I will freely admit that I am grumpy.  I may be slightly less forgiving when it come to questionable accessories than I might normally be.
Even so…
These sandals from Sigerson Morrison just don’t seem quite right to me:

Is it the braided patent leather?
The layers of leather circles on the top of the sandals?
Or the white leather ties that stick out like little fingers – how long until your cat chews those off?
At least I don’t think it’s a mystery why the sandal is now on sale, for a measly $274.0 – better than $429.00!

R&B singer Rihanna was a presenter at the American Music Awards recently…

Shhh… don’t startle her bowtie – it seems to have slithered off her neck & eaten her blouse!
