Red suede platform booties on a pin-like stiletto heel? Do I really need to say more? ♥ Well, I mean apart from the fact that these ALDO beauties are very much inspired by Monsieur Louboutin (*cough* Big Lips Booty *cough*), but I must say I much prefer ALDO’s red suede version over Louboutin’s black nappa bootie. Attention grabbers for the win!

I’m completely fascinated by Christian Louboutin‘s mind. I’m starting to understand him… I think. This red calf hair pump named Big Lips, believe it or not, I get why he named it this. Just look at it. Does it not remind you of a mouth completely lacquered in red lipstick? Oh well, great minds think alike! 
Too bad not all wallets are created equal. Because at $995 this very kissable little heel has been snatched up by all those big lip bandits out there!

It was not too long ago since I totally raved about how great chunky heels are, now it seems to be all about stiletto heels for me. And while they’re a lot trickier to handle (less stability which results in less balance, get stuck easily and are more likely to break) the leg lengthening effect is worth putting up with all those stiletto issues. I especially love these Wild Pair booties. They’d be a great addition to my shoe wardrobe for the upcoming Fall season and metallics and exotic textures are very much on trend this year as well. The price of $120 ain’t too bad either!

Steve Madden, are you really trying to fool us into thinking that your “MYLEY” leopard pumps were an original design? Well, you should try harder because in this case it’s very obvious where you took the inspiration for “MYLEY”.

OMG! I’m out of words. If I had to describe these gold strass stiletto pumps by Christian Louboutin with 3 words, mine would be SEX – DIVA & DANGER. No need for a foreplay if you’re wearing these heels. I probably could walk (or rather stand) in these a mere 5 minutes at most, but it’d be sooo worth it. Too bad they’re out of my budget. Even though I don’t know the exact retail price I’m pretty sure it’s somewhere around $2.000. Bummer!
