I feel so sorry for shoeaholics of times gone by. If only they could have lived to see the unparalleled creativity of shoe design today. Never before in history have there been so many truly unique, funky hybrids, like the Cut-Out Boots by Maison Martin Margiela. What a belle of a boot! Part demure d’Orsay, part go-go boot. This is a pair that was made for walkin’. I wish they’d walk right on up to my front door.

Matiko “Kiari” Boots
Like most shoe addicts, when I see a pair like the MMMs above that are as much art form as they are shoe, and I can’t have them, I feel a little pang of despair. Then I remember that it is a consumer’s world, and there is almost always a replica to be had. Like the Matiko “Kiari” Boots. Not a d’Orsay like the MMMs, but, whoa—they are some serious statement-makers. Get ‘em ‘fore they go, ladies!

Everyone loves Rachel Bilson. Why? Because Rachel is a Hollywood actress that could have been any girl. Any girl, anywhere. Her adorable looks make her your girl next door and the way that her wardrobe choices look effortless and not too matchy or accessorized are reasons to love her. She’s a casual and simple beauty, until of course you take notice of her man-candy fiance. We won’t hold that against her though, afterall, we are imaginary best friends.

The Spring 2008 wedge heel booties by Maison Martin Margiela below reminded me of legwarmers when I first saw them. I would have never thought they’d look so cute when put on until I saw Rachel Bilson flaunting her nude pair.
