It is the time of the year when it’s all about fashion weeks, so it might not be surprising for regular readers to see me a tiny bit de-focused. However, I am able to get it together /hellyeahsmiley: insert here/ and post shoes that I just cannot forget about.

To start with, here’s Katy “IwantotkeepupwithGaga&Nicki” Perry and her ah-mazing McQueen wedges:

—

German singer Michelle wore McQueen booties:

—

I should have posted the magnificient Charlize Theron wearing the brand new Givenchy heels a lot earlier, but you know…

These heels are almost straight from the runway, it’s quite possible that these are my favorite shoes from this season, even though there were lots of really nice heels to spot.

—

Simple heels from Elie Saab worn perfectly by Mila Kunis:

—

Shoeaholics should be familiar with these black Casadei platform pumps worn by Vanessa Hudgens:

Talk about Casadei…Elizabeth Banks rocked these heels:

They look really good, don’t they?

Which would YOU like to see in your closet?

Update on Yves Saint Laurent shoes

Since I haven’t really posted YSLs lately, it was high time to do a megapost with pictures of the famous Tribute pumps and other heels designed by the house. By now everyone knows that the Tribtoo simply cannot be hidden in the wardrobe, it is still “in”, especially because new, somewhat modified Tribtoos appeared in the stores – those are in this post as well.

YSL fans, enjoy! 🙂

The night begins (and usually ends) barefoot:

—

Jennifer Love Hewitt wears these golden YSL sandals often:

—

First generation Tribute platforms can still be spotted:

—

YSL Tribtoo pumps on Tamara Ecclestone and Lily Aldridge:

—

Sarah Michelle Gellar (5’2) and Amanda Seyfried (5’3) need those extra inches:

—

Paula Abdul went for a brighter color version:

—

Britney owns YSL boots, while Salma Hayek has a slingback Tribtoo:

—

Alexa Vega is a big fan for sure:

As promised, here are the new, 2012 YSL Tribtoos, brought to you by Carmen Electra and Brandy Norwood:

—

Austrian TV host Mirjam Weichselbraun bought YSL heels too:

—

Last but not least here are the very good looking wedges, worn here by Mariah Carey and Emily Procter:

That’s it, come back tomorrow to see the new Model Monday post!

From Aldo to Zanotti

In today’s post, there are shoes for everyone: pumps, sandals, wedges. This summer it looks like wedges are really popular (that’s my impression on the streets), and actually I am happy about it! For this reason, let’s start with one of them.

It’s called Affina and it’s made by Aldo, which means you don’t have to sell an organ in order to buy a pair: you can get yours for $90 or even less! It’s 4 inches high, comes in dark brown and beige:

Apart from the shoes, I like the whole look of Jessica Lowndes this time.

—

Moving on, here’s another pocket-friendly shoe, worn here by Tila Tequila:

This one by Chinese Laundry comes only in black and white colors, and its price is around $120.

—

Transition in prices might not be flawless as we skip everything and land at Christian Louboutin. The Pigalili pumps that Brooklyn Decker wore at the ESPY Awards in July is a real beauty, I love the details!

The heel is 12 cm/5 inches high, and it costs a whopping $3.545!

—

Up next, two pairs by Salvatore Ferragamo. These pumps are real classics by now: simple design, solid materials, classy look. What else do you need?

Spanish actress Paz Vega:

The lovely Jayma Mays:

—

Now you’ve reached the end of the post with “only” shoes by Giuseppe Zanotti left. God, these wedges, I’m in love!

Vanessa Hudgens:

Kim Kardashian:

Looks like vertically challenged ladies love extremely high wedges!

Which one do you like to most? Are there any that you wouldn’t wear even if they were for free?
