Oh, how I love bright shoes lately. I really feel like I need to break up all the blacks and neutrals that can be found in my shoe closet with some much needed color. Now I’ve done fairly well lately by going for royal blue and patent red in my shoe choices, but how about upping the ante a little with these color splashing two-tone pumps by Penny Loves Kenny? I love the bright color combos, they slightly remind me of Gucci’s S/S 2011 jewel tone color scheme (the shoe style is a Louboutin knockoff, by the way). They say red/orange and pink don’t match, but really, I think it looks just fab-u-lous here on these pumps. And don’t get me started on the turquoise/mint version… I love each color in its singleness, so how could I not love both of them combined?

UPDATE: This post has been updated on February 24, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably gimpsed one of this season’s hottest trends: the cage bootie. I’m not entirely sure where this fad originated but I’m going to guess that it might have been Yves Saint Laurent’s Cage Leather Sandal. A delicate, architectural beauty of a shoe, the YSL heels spurred quite a few copies. Christian Louboutin‘s Coussin Caged Ankle Boots are like the big, badass sister to the YSL sandals. To me, the CL booties look both industrial and hard; girly and sweet. They’re not going to be everyone’s cup of tea, to be sure, but they are certainly works of art; and pricey ones at that.

Loading ...UPDATE (02/24/2011): Stumbled upon another fabulous Louboutin look-a-like by Penny Loves Kenny. Available in black, nude and white.

UPDATE (04/15/2010): Boutique 9 has a second Louboutin steal version which is basically exactly like the “Val” style but without the bow. Available in black and medium natural.

So if the YSL cage sandals and the Louboutin cage boots had a baby, it might look something like these “Val” Peep-Toe Caged Booties by Boutique 9 – and I gotta tell ya, I’m ready to adopt. I kinda love that they turned these into peep-toes and I’m a little obsessed with that silk bow. Wear with a simple black dress and let the shoes do all the talking. They’re not crazy cheap at $199, but they are considerably more affordable than the Louboutins, and just as drool-worthy. Yum! Available in black or natural.
