Shoe Torture

I would just like to take a minute and talk about one thing...the Spring 2009 amazingness brought to us by Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte. Specifically, the shoes. If you know anything about current fashion, then you know what I'm referring to. If you don't, then put a condom on your head because I think I may have just blew your mind. These shoes have been spotted on the streets of Paris recently worn by a Miss Sally Singer (Vogue), a woman with fabulous fashion sense but terrible hair. Now, everywhere you look, or at least everywhere I have been looking, which are places you should be looking too, I have seen a shoe trend...buckles. But not just any buckles, strappy buckles, multiple strappy buckles. Shoes asphyxiated by straps...and it's turning me on. No, I'm not into S&M, unless it has to do with Gucci's new Babouska sandal ($1,295) or Jimmy Choo's Glenys Elaphe snakeskin sandal (also $1,295). I have been pretty "meh" about the overuse of them recently but once I saw the Rodarte beauties, with the gold D-rings and metallic chunk heel, I converted to a full on masochist. Check out Mr. Kirkwood's shoe collection and you too will fall in love...or lust. Just remember the safety word.
