Christian Louboutin (February 2009 - November 2010)

[laureenthemean]

Laureen, these are stunning. Have you worn them out yet? Are they comfy?

I've had my eye on them for a while. Did you get them from NM?

I haven't worn them out yet, but they seem comfy so far. I got them on ebay, but I believe they are an NM exclusive.

Laureen, Your Pilots are TDF!!!! Congrats on an amazing score!

I can concur that the Differas run 1/2 size small. I actually went up a full size, but they were roomy.

 

[rosalynn]

Oooh, thanks for the Differa heads-up on thier size

They're prob going to be my next purchase having seen Jennifer Lopez totally rocking them a while ago. They're one of those styles to me that look pretty average in product photos but look amazing once worn.

SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!

I had the great good fortune to visit London and Paris last month. One of my goals was the Louboutin ALTI in soft black kid and the 160mm heel. Starting with Harrod's, Selfridge's and the new Louboutin boutique in Mayfair, I struck out.

It had to be Paris.

On the last day of my trip, I stopped at the main boutique on Jaques Rousseau and there they were!! OMG, they are spectacular to see!! But alas, only size 35 left - the small shoe making the heel look even higher.

So patience is now called for as my very own pair of black kid ALTIs are in que to be made for me. The last tie I ordered a pair from Louboutin (Clichy), it took almost 5 months. My birthday is in mid-November and I have my fingers crossed.

Thank you, Jet!

SeattleGirl, what a story! Hope you get them, I have a pair and they are HOT! Does this mean the Alti 160 is available for special order?

My newest addition, silver laminato Pin-up 100!

 

[Seattle Girl]

Found them!!

160mm? That is what I ordered so I sure hope so!!!

I have never seen them in stores, although someone on another blog said they found them in Las Vegas. I didn't even try here since I knew I was going to Paris.

Where did you get yours?

Thank you, Jet!

I got mine from Net-a-porter, and they had them at Barneys as well.

SeattleGirl,Alti pumps are quite readily avaliable ,did you try calling CL NYC? and i think footcandy still has them too and neimanmarcus...


from personal experince i wouldnt recommend a special order unless it something thats out of season ( not ongoing) classics are always avaliable....

She wants the 160, which is now pretty HTF. The ones footcandy has are the 140.

Updated collection!

Whoa so jealous! You must be loaded! hehe Hope you included them in your house insurance ( if you own your house)


On another note does everyone else have fake louboutin advertisements all over their TFS?

 

[eternitygoddess]

laureenthemean, I think my heart just skipped 2 beats.

Question: What style is the dark blue shoe, in between the velvet blue and the neon blue?

 

[laureenthemean]

Thanks MK! Certainly not loaded, just good at finding deals and saving up!

Thank you eternity! Those are the Pin-up, same style as the silver ones, though the previous owner removed the bow. Here's a closeup:

 

[rosalynn]

Oh wow, what a collection! Love the plumes, love the pair to the right (sorry, I'm rubbish at IDing shoes), love the nude pumps above those and the blue velvet ones second down on the left in particular. I know my sister will love the whole top row.

I've got 10 pairs of Loubs, although I have just ordered three new pairs over the last week, eek. I'm like you, I'm not loaded. But I have worked hard to pay off my debts and I find it easy to put money to the side for Loubs. I also have no qualms about selling shoes I no longer like too which helps.

Anyway, your collection is TDF, what a variety, you're really lucky and I'm totally swooning.

 

[laureenthemean]

Aw, thank you rosalynn! I have sold other shoes and bags to fund my Loubs as well! Sounds like you're growing a nice collection!

 

[rosalynn]

NP laureenthemean Where do you keep all your Louboutins, do you keep them all in thier boxes still? I keep all the boxes on a shelf with polaroids on the end

 

[Mk's Beauty Shop]

Lol no i mean now! quite a collection and worth alot.. If you ever become completely poor you could live off your shoes for a while.. Would be too sad to sell them though

 

[laureenthemean]

rosalynn, yup, I keep them in their boxes. The pictures are a good idea!

MK, haha, that's true! I would be so sad if I had to sell any, though!
