^^ Hi, thanks for this information - I was not aware of this. you have been very helpful.

lizardlove, give us what we want! Pictures of your gorgeous shoes. I love pictures of CL's. They're works of art.

Black patent Pigalle 120s are usually always available at the boutiques.

In the Middle East and EU is not always avaliable. Infact Paris asked me if i wanted to place a special order for them
CL are more readily avaliable in the US than in the EU market

Oh, I had no idea! It seems like all the US boutiques always have some available.

the US is a way bigger market for Loubs than EU

There's a few Louboutins on offer at the Net-A-Porter end of season sale if you're interested. Annoyingly the shoes I had my eyes on aren't on offer (not that this will stop me getting them, hehe)

You should have a look at Browns website - they have some Louboutins in the sale that net-a-porter have listed as "new season"

 

[rosalynn]

Oh wow, thanks for that [karma]. I love Browns, have bought a lot from there but didn't realise they had Louboutins on sale

I'm really tempted by the Bilbao espadrilles and also by another pair of Differras. I was giving the Tigresse espadrilles the eye on Net-a-Porter so maybe I'll go for the Bilbaos instead and save myself £140.

 

[fitnessqueen13]

Tried on the Bilbao in Browns a few weeks ago - didn't look good on me so bought the Tigresse. Love the Differras though they're amazing.......

 

[rosalynn]

Ah OK, thanks again - what didn't you like about Bilbao? And what made you go for Tigresse?

I know what you mean about not being Louboutin enough I do love those red ones though - at the moment though I'm trying to not buy the type that I always get i.e. the "classics" and get the more quirky styles - I just ordered "short Tina"

Just replying to your post from Shoes Yay/Nay:

I love the CL classics, and they're the ones I always get the most wear out of, but I love the quirky styles too. The Short Tinas are pretty neat although not my style, but I did get the Forever Tinas (not sure if I should admit to that here?! hehe) which I think are classic quirky Louboutin. Same with the Devas which I got a pair of a few weeks ago in nude and have been virtually living in since.

For me I love the classic pumps, and I love some of the extreme styles, but I always get bored of the ones in between, and I think the Jeffersons might be like that. To me the experimental CL styles like Devas are every much as classic as the patent pumps, but some of their inbetween styles just don't click with me.

 

[fitnessqueen13]

Bilbaos made my ankles look fat! (and I don't have fat ankles). I just found the Tigresse sexier and more comfortable - I've had loads of wear out of them already.

I love the Deva - am very tempted (especially as they are in Browns sale) . I'm also really tempted by Differra what are they like to wear? are they comfortable? I wear really high heels so height isn't a problem.

 

[rosalynn]

Don't worry about the other topic BTW, it was just drifting off topic so thought I'd move my reply into here

Hmm, maybe I'll pop into London and give the Bilabous a try before I buy. I'm absolutely tiny so might be OK, if not I'll happily get the Tigresse. I think Tigresse is a far better looking shoe personally, but I've spent over £1000 on Louboutins in the last month so jumped at the chance to save £140 on a pair of Bilbaos!

Devas are really nice, I've got so much wear out of them, and am glad I listened to advice here and got them in nude as they go with virtually everything summery in my wardrobe. I think I would have been too restricted by them in black which is what I was originally going to get.

I do a lot of dance so despite my tiny trotters really high heels are fine for me so I might not be the best person to ask about the Differas, but I've never had any problem with them, no pains in the balls of my feet etc. I wore them once to work although I was on my bum for most of the day and have worn them out once. I've only had them for a few weeks.

Here are some quick pics of my new Deva shoes that I got on the weekend! These shoes a super comfy! I am hoping to wear them to a wedding I am going to this coming weekend.

They aren't the best pics but I only had a sec to throw on the shoes.

 

[lmelanie]

^oh nice!

 

[rosalynn]

Nice pics guccigirl2008, they're great shoes aren't they? I agree they're really comfortable too. What are you going to wear with them to the wedding? Careful you don't upstage the bride, haha.

 

[guccigirl2008]

thanks guys!

haha rosalynn..I was actually thinking the same thing. Most of my shoes and formal dresses tend to stand out.

 

[laureenthemean]

guccigirl, very cute!

 

[Donhay]

guccigal : (jaw drop) the Deva look fab. As rosalynn said, wearing that to a wedding, it will rockz, careful u don't want to upstage the bride

New louboutins

I have just been in shoe heaven at the Louboutin sale... I got Lillian black and off white and Differa black patent. Also got short Tina from net a porter this week. That's all for a while now although I do have my eye on a couple of new season pairs.

 

[rosalynn]

You sound as bad as me fitnessqueen13, haha. You have to let us know how you get on with the Differas. I wore them yesterday to work and was fine, although it was good to take them off at the end of the day.

What new season pairs styles are you looking at?
