Wooden

UPDATE: This post has been updated on February 10, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

You see I love Miu Miu. I just can’t help it. While I may not approve of every collection, I like that Miuccia Prada always puts you on the fence with her designs. You can tell she’s one of the few designers who REALLY think outside the box and who sometimes sacrifice aesthetics for the sake of creativity & uniqueness. This might not work out every time with me, but I do appreciate her contribution to the world of arts anyway.

Today we’re talking clogs again. Le shoe du jour! They are everywhere now. The reintroduction of the wooden clog can be mainly attributed to Karl Lagerfeld who made the Dutch footwear look très avantgarde on Chanel’s Spring 2010 runway. However, personally I prefer Miu Miu’s more playful take on the classic clog. Unlike the Chanels, Miu Miu’s studded clogs are also quite reasonably priced at about $500 whereas Chanel’s version will run you in the thousands. Of course we understand that $500 can still be too expensive for a shoe you might want to hide in the darkest corner of your closet in a year from now.

Steve Madden “MELROW” Studded Clogs

Now look at this! Steve Madden has finally caught up on the clog trend. First, he made an almost identical version of the Chanel clogs and now he’s presenting us his take on the studded slingback Miu Mius which he combined with the also big right now nude trend. Only downside? These are currently pre-order only and won’t ship until the end of May. Boo! I still wouldn’t wait too long if you dig the clog trend because a) I’m fairly sure these are going to sell out pretty quickly and b) they have this 30% OFF promotion going on right now which will save you a big chunk of cash and it could expire any day, so if you like these, head over to the site and grab ‘em now! Btw, check out Emily of Cupcakes and Cashmere rocking these Miu Miu look-a-likes (so fab!).
