Charlotte Olympia – 2011 in pictures

It’s been a while since the last post including shoes by Charlotte Olympia, so I looked for some pictures that I haven’t posted so far and now I share these looks with you. Of course, there have been a number of CO shoe sightings, like this one here, but today I’m dedicating the whole post to the English designer.

The trademark platform – it really makes these shoes special!

—

Celebrities like Katy Perry, Sarah Jessica Parker and Blake Lively are big fans:

—

Sylvie van der Vaart loves these heels too!

—

Rosamund Pike wore Charlotte Olympia at the photoshoot & the premiere too!

—

German TV host Mareile Höppner and the pregnant Hilary Duff are next:

—

As you know, Kelly Ripa is big fan of shoes, she likes CO in particular:

As the designers webpage says,

“With a design philosophy focused on femininity and inspired by the allure of glamour of old, Charlotte Olympia designs have become synonymous with classic shapes and meticulous attention to detail. Each shoe is handcrafted in Italy using only the finest materials and is finished with the brand’s signature gold spider web on the sole.”

Let’s hope we see more and more spectacular shoes in the future!

20th anniversary of Christian Louboutin

The French magician celebrated his brand’s 20th anniversary this week. I don’t think there are a lot of people out there who don’t appreciate his design; obviously there has been much to celebrate for the fashion world.

It’s possible that I don’t like one or two of his designs, but generally I truly admire his work. I won’t continue praising him now by writing 20 more lines that you won’t read, I let the pictures do the talking. Bottom line is:

There are 2 pages about him in the November issue of InStyle magazine:

10 legal ways to get high

The day has come for another big shoe post! I don’t want you to be disappointed which is why I have chosen ten marvelous shoes to present in this post.

To start with, here’s Jessica Alba wearing Armani heels:

—

The next one is Twilight star Nikki Reed in Casadei peep toe ankle boots:

I love the details! 3 cm platform, 15 cm heels; this pair will cost you $1.150.

—

Nicky Hilton can’t get enough of these wedges by Diane von Furstenberg:

Costs $275, has a 1 inch platform & a 4.5″ heel; it comes in khaki and black too.

—

Lucy Hale wore these simple Giuseppe Zanotti ankle boots:

—

These heel-less pumps are the highlights of this post – at least in my opinion:

Victoria Justice is not the first to wear these, Lucy Hale wore them here.

—

I can’t get enough of Giuseppe Zanotti. These wedges are gorgeous!

Apparently, Hilary Duff and Amanda Righetti are big fans too.

—

I was never sure about Marni‘s shoes, I still cannot decide whether these heels are cool or just simply ugly.

—

However, I am a big fan of Ruthie Davis‘. Her work is extraordinary, I hope she’ll be able to keep the momentum and amaze us in the coming years as well. Just look at these pumps worn here by Mena Suvari. Mindf*ck!

Yvonne Strahovski‘s stylist for the shoot has chosen RD shoes too:

—

We have reached the end of this post, there’s only one more pair of shoes to present. For some, this may be the actual highlight of the post – Miranda Kerr in Tabitha Simmons:

The “Dulcina” comes in other colors too, has a 0.75″ platform and 4.75″ heels, the price tag says $900 (or $615 on the brand’s website).

Which one is YOUR favorite? Any opinions?

Add these to your shopping list

You may have realized that I always suggest you to buy the shoes of the current post – take a look at these shoes and you’ll know why 🙂

Without further ado, here’s Miranda Kerr in her new sandals of Bally’s Spring/Summer 2012 collection:

Up next, this is Amber Heard in Calvin Klein:

These shoes are almost literally from the runway!

Amber Heard is on fire these days, check out her whole look, including the Lady Peep pumps by Christian Louboutin:

“Christian once said that a “shoe has so much more to offer than just to walk.” Our beautiful “Lady Peep” gives you just that. Slip her on and you’ll find that wherever you wear her, you’ll be the most confident girl in the room.”  Well, it’s no wonder since these shoes have 5 cm platforms and 10 cm heels – get yours for $900.

Speaking of Louboutin, here’s another pair that will help you reach the sky:

Holly Madison‘s Louboutin has 5 cm platforms & 10 cm heels, it costs $900.

Because the time for (ankle)boots has arrived, you should take a look at the fall-ish version of the Daffodile pumps – it’s the Daf booty!

6 cm platform, 10 cm heels, $1.300 – a real killer in every aspect!

I know, I know, enough of the red soles for now, let’s see something different, like Taylor Swift’s Miu Miu shoes:

Because there are a few lucky readers here who are not facing the challenges of cold weather, here are two pairs that have summer written all over them.

The first one is by Ralph Lauren, worn here by Camilla Belle:

The “heels” are 11.5 cm high, it costs around $600.

The other pair screaming summer is this one:

This is the first ever appearance for both Kaya Scoledario & River Island!

For those who do need boots for the coming months, here is the 50/50 boots by Stuart Weitzman.

You may prefer flat boots, but with this eye catching pair you won’t be able to keep a low profile 🙂

The last one  for today is one of best known shoes worn here by a soon-to-be mom.

Give it up for Hilary Duff and YSL 😉
