I love the Fallona too - great colors!
The Campari's are always a hit!!
I also dying to hear the story about meeting Mr. Blahnik!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bu until then ........
I'm in love with these (from barneys.com)

My newest shoes!

Campari Mary Jane in patent blue leather and Fallona in olive leather / embroidered fabric.

Congrats! I like both pairs but the Camparis are just one of my fav shoes from Blahnik. They are fab in patent blue. A little more unexpected than in black. I'm still dreaming about them in raspberry.

They are called Spart and I've found them on brownsshoes.com too - in black!

 

[La Vanguardia]

Thank you everyone for your compliments!

The Fallona is really an amazing design and I really love the straps. The embroidery is also very well made/sewn! This style definitely looks better worn than displayed.

Velona - Totally agree about the unexpectedness of the navy blue patent Camparis. A bit different but still very wearable. I bet rasberry would be fabulous!

mateica - The Spart style looks cool, especially in the colors on the Manolo website. But with the large spacing of the leather straps, I just wonder how it would be with the little pinky toe since I wouldn't want it wandering out of the straps.

La Vanguardia - I like the colors from the Manolo website too especially the pink ones.
I guess there could be a problem wit the toes.
I remember them from Jean Paul Gaultier Fall 2008 Couture show - unfortunately the models aren't bearefoot....

I've been checking out the NY spring 2009 runway shows on style.com and among them Narciso Rodriguez - a really great collection - but what interest me are the shoes - I think they could be manolos and they're really great.
So what do you guys think?

the peep-toe booties:

^They could be Manolos from the shape of the heel.

I'm not a big fan of peep toe booties but I definitely think some people can pull them off with the right outfits.

I love the sandals from your pics!

LaVanguardia I adore your Fallonas! Fabulous buy!

hello everyone,

i just got back from london and went to the store.
tried on the peep toes shoeboot (11,5cm) from the christopher kane show and was very close to closing the deal. 595£
they were very fun. came in black, electric blue, red and grey. dont know the name. guccigal, any ideas?
they didnt have much of a selection as always when i go so in the end i wasnt convinced! i am looking for the more classics and they never have them!!!!!

Presenting my Marie Antoinette shoes that Manolo made for the movie. I'm so lucky to be able to find them as they're so rare and sold out almost everywhere. I took a chance and called the Manolo boutique in Hong Kong and they had one in my size! They were shipped overnight express to me and I just got them!

These look really precious and beautiful in real life! I love the detail of the buckle, the pleating and the color is so Marie Antoinette!

Here are the Catalinas in fuschia peeking out of the back split of my wedding dress a couple weeks ago. Raspberry Sedaraby's came two days before I left...I changed into those as they were more comfy for the reception. Waiting on the purple ones to arrive.

You look stunning BlkLadyLaw! Congratulations!
