ok vintage red lizard skin shoes. I will probably never ever wear them or maybe one time but I thought they were beautiful!!!! and collectable. they are very old but in very good condition.

very "wizard of oz"

[guccigal07]

yeah the shoes really aren't my style at all.......but I think they are beautiful.

Gucci, you must be some kind of socialite or celebrity - if I sold your shoe collection I could actually afford to put a deposit on a house

That said, I'm weak when it comes to shoes. Probably could have put a roof over my own head at this point if I had some willpower!

 

[guccigal07]

here are some pics from the neimans lookbook for fall. They are bad quality bc I snapped them quickly with my cameraphone

 

[stilettogirl84]

ooh I really like that first lace up one-

or if the second one had the heel from the first one, that would be hot too

 

[Meg]

Oh I really like the spectators....though I would probably choose the lastics over those.

Kimora Lee is on the cover of King magazine this month wearing the green bow manolo's that Gucci you have as well as someone else (sorry, can't remember who!)

 

[guccigal07]

iluvfashion and shopping has them too!

I am returning the lastic for sure.

 

[Meg]

Are you? Thats too bad but if they aren't going to work with your warddrobe, not much else you can do. Will you get a pair of manolo booties instead?

 

[guccigal07]

yeah the lastic are really nice. they are REALLY rigid. like wearing a pair of bricks on your foot. I think they might be a bit toooo hard for me to wear.

I just bought prada suede sling backs (see post your shoes) and I am getting the YSL modern times pumps with the gold band (see saks.com) and they are leather.

so above takes care of my basic black needs...one suede and one leather.

I have have the Manolo Mary Janes in black (4inch campari) and I have the pumato...posted in this thread.

SO....I am pretty good on the black shoes.

I figured I would pick up the Manolo boot/dress shoe bc they are more collectable. Manolo is getting 12 pair total.

Neimans will do them but different than the boutique....and they aren't getting many either...

...so since I probably won't wear the lastic much or the Manolo bootie...I will get the most collectable.

 

[guccigal07]

check out these fab shoes.

pic of the grommet from Neiman Marcus THE BOOK....that just came out.

okay so these are fab. As stated above I don't need any more patent. But I figured I can ebay them.

The boutique ordered them and so did Neimans. USUALLY when Neimans orders things....you can get on sale on ebay.

but how fab are these.

 

[Meg]

Wow those are really interesting. I never knew manolo did any snub nosed toe shoes. It's such a different aesthetic.

 

[guccigal07]

yeah I have 2 pairs from last season. they are fun. the snub nose are posted in my collection pics a page back or whatever.

I love the patent strappy I have on my feet. the grommet ones are interesting and I love them....but I know I wouldn't wear alot so I am gong to ebay them!

 

[Meg]

oh so you own the grommet ones as well? Yeah, I saw your old ones. They looked quite cool. I also really like the heel on the patent ones. Is the snub nose any different to walk in or ?

 

[guccigal07]

the snub is comfy. I love them.

I don't own the grommet in the pic. I want them though. But since the boutique did them AND neimans I will grab them up on ebay.

I think they are great though. Both I posted....but I hope to get on ebay.

I find it neimans ordered something...usually you can find on ebay.

if the boutique only did I grab up...bc they do very small size runs.

[guccigal07]

love them.

 

[leyla m.]

i wish i could find those somewhere... does anyone have the name and an idea where i can find them?

 

[guccigal07]

the bows? the boutique is the only one in NY that ordered them. They got one in each size...what size are you? they are 115 mm heel or 5 inches....let me know your size and I can tell you if you, shopping or luvfasion bought it....they were only $580

 

[leyla m.]

u serious?!!
i wish i had seen them when i was there..
but arent they summer season and therefore should be on sale??
i am a 38 to 38.5 (38 in sedaraby)
