Christian Louboutin (25.03.2004-02.02.09)

[Kalanfan]

Kalanfan - if you're near Seattle, you can't be a million miles from Vancouver. If you can, stop in at Holt Renfrew there - the first time I went they had a great selection of CLs - unfortunately the second time I was in the middle of the summer sale and everything was chaotic, with only the dregs left on the shelves. But seriously - go to Holt Renfrew. I'd go in the evening, 8-9pm if you can, as there is no one there and you get an SP all to yourself to run into the back for your size in every shoe.

Thanks! Yes, I've been there a few times, but I just wanted to see if I could find lower prices at different locations. My mom is buying it for my birthday, and I feel bad that she's going to spend more than $700 (with stupid tax) for a pair of shoes. But I really love them.

Does Oregon hold any CLs? No tax...that would be so wonderful.

FYI Seattle Nordstrom DOES carry CL's as well as the Barneys which is right across the street. Barneys has a better selection...I was there a few weeks ago

If the Seattle Nordstrom does not carry the CL's they can find it from you from another store and ship to you.

The Helmut is coming out this season, I think. I know some people were on wait lists for it a couple months ago. I don't think the Pigalle comes in an 80mm height, and I have not seen the 70mm at the Topanga Nordstrom (in southern California).

Helmuts are a classic style that are out every season. I got a call from one of the NY stores (I think Madison? ) stating that they just received a new shipment. This was a few weeks ago.

i did well in exams so im trying to pick some shoes to buy as a treat from my dad. i really love the patent nudey pinky simple pumps but they slip at the back and have a little crease on the side when i wear them. i love them so much but i dont know if i can justify buying them.....
tell me what to buy! i really want louboutins but i dont know which ones...definatley some versatile and simple ones

Congrats Umberg on doing well on your exams!

I would recommend the Ron Rons, perhaps. I wore mine for the first time yesterday and found them very comfy. They come in different colors, including a Camel I believe, which is available at NAP.

I have the same wrinkle issue with the Simples, but this does not happen with the Ron Rons.

I am also a huge fan of the Decollete. It is so beautiful and classic. These fit me well too, but I've heard they can be painful at first for some.

Sorry, I don't know where my modeling pix are

And the Delic is fairly classic, but with a hidden platform – it's far more beautiful on than sitting on the shelf.

Let us know what you decide!

I just love those Ron Rons, Jet Set! The color is amazing. Such a great buy!

Good to know that they don't wrinkle up like the Simples. I love my Simples, but the wrinkling does bother me a bit.

I wore them for the first time on Friday. I just love them!

 

[Kalanfan]

Does anyone know where to find sequined, black, peep-toe, pumps by Christian Louboutin? I saw pictures of Hayden Panettiere, and they are gorgeous!

I would also like some advice on which CL's to buy. It's going to be my first pair...and probably my last (for a while)...so I would like some input on what I should get. I want black ones with height, but also ones that stand out and can be wearable with anything form pants to dresses.

I like the classics (they are cheaper), but if I’m going to get something expensive, might as well get something that stands out right?

 

[umberg]

thanks jetset, i'm going to try on the ones you suggested and think very hard about the decision, if im still not happy with any louboutains i'm going to get some manolos because i went to their store yesterday on old church street and fell in love with every other pair of shoes!
its such a tough decision, ill definatley post pics when i get some!

^^^Can't wait to see!

Kalan, The ones you are talking about are called Very Prive Paillette. Your best bet, I believe, is eBay, as they went on sale a couple of months ago. Occasionally a pair pops up on Barneys site, but they are notorious for canceling orders up to 10 days after you purchase.
