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!

Various

As you probably realized, I haven’t been active for a while – the combination of university and festive season does not leave too much time for me. I will visit your lovely blogs soon (I promise), I’m so behind!

Until then, here are pictures of various topics. There are a few “don’ts” and some interesting shoe moments. Enjoy!

Apparently, Kelly Ripa was amazed by Selena Gomez’ shoes:

The “Please don’t” part:

Julia’s shoes seem to be a little too old for the red carpet, don’t they?

Susan’s outfit is horrible, while Tia should have chosen to wear something different for the red carpet as well.

But that’s not all. I would have never thought that one day I’ll post Karlie as a “Don’t…”

Pumps instead of sandals could have hidden the hurtful truth.

Now, it’s time for some interesting moments. FYT, I could say.

Claudia Winkleman is showing something unique to the public here, while Thandie Newton is wearing like the highest wedges I’ve ever seen.

That’s it for now, I wish Merry Christmas to you – there might be a new post on the 24th however 🙂

High heel-a-thon NYC and boots

Let me start with this: the high heel-a-thon is – as far as I know – a charity event and is basically all about having fun and breaking your ankle. Of course, the podium finishers get great prizes, like a new VW Jetta+$10.000 for the winner, $5000 for the runner-up and $2500 for the lady who finishes third.

This years event has been held on the 22nd September, hosted by Kelly Ripa, as usual. This time, also Kristin Chenoweth and AnnaLynne McCord were there, just like Johnny Weir, who participated in the men’s heat (!). 150 yards of fun 😀

Let’s say what some of the participants tweeted about this event:

Tomorrow I’m on regis/kelly. Then kelly and I and annalynne do a high heel race. I’m scared.

Did high heel (hell) run with Ripa. She is awesome. I came in 190th. Out 500 I think. CERAMI GIRLS saved me

Cerami Grils thank you! We were a great team and u held me UP in my Louboutins!

I came in last of the celebs! At least I won something! LAST! Hahahahha

all I saw was Kelly Ripa’s butt! She is FASt!

so glad I didn’t break my neck.

Johnny Weir had the following to say about it:

I didn’t win the heel-a-thon but I tried my best! So proud that so many came out to run and support a great cause!

I looked pretty! I so can’t run in five inch Louboutins. But my calves looked stellar while trotting! Xoxo

About the host, Kelly Ripa:

“I’m going to treat this like any sale at Barneys,” Ripa, who wore 3-inch, T-strap LaDuca dance shoes, joked before the race. “I’ve never worn a heel less than 6 inches [high, so] essentially, I’m running in a sneaker.”

A video about the race:

A similar event has been held in Leeds, UK, today, but that was a 1.5 mile route! If you’re interested, you can read more about that here.

So much about this topic, now I have a few collages about boots for you. These kind of boots have been worn by celebrities in September so far – there are a few ugly ones but thanks Lord nobody wore the Yeti-boots by Chanel so far 😀

I hope you’ve had a nice weekend, see you tomorrow!

Shoes on TV

This post is supposed to be anything but regular. After doing some research, I present you a few moments of broadcasting in which it’s all about the shoes.

Let’s start with the USA and Kelly Ripa from the show Regis & Kelly:

Does anybody think it’s serious?

/The last capture is from another day. Is that Bruno Tonioli?\

Another workout video, this time it’s hard training:

A short video about what she’s wearing:

An old moment from another American TV host, Robin Meade, whose (shoe)wardrobe at the studio must be huge btw:

Another show from 2007. Have you ever had a pair like this?

How about wearing different shoes at the same time? 😀 Michelle Beadle:

I know, it’s weird. But let’s see some very weird stuff, how about Lili Estefan?

Just what is going on there? 😀

Now it’s time to fly over to Europe and let’s see what the Germans have for us.

Two hosts of the same show, obsessed with shoes every now and then.

Video of Annemarie Warnkross (0:48-1:08):

A video of the scene with her in the blue skirt, (1:15-end):

Edit: The Germans took this thing about copyright very seriously, so I had to remove this video. Looks like they don’t like to be – basically – advertised for free. I wonder why the video of Annemarie could stay online, it’s the same company!

If Lili Estefan did crazy things, what about Marlene Lufen?

Start – 0:45:

Her co-host Simone Panteleit in “Frühstücksfernsehen” doesn’t always finish dressing up in time either. The second series show the problems of pregnancy.

Last one for this post, another host, Verena Wriedt makes a guest appearance and for some reason her shoes are the talking point. Maybe because the premiere of Sex and the City 2 was at the time:
