High-Fashion High

Is it wrong that I think these are kind of adorable?

These are sold out, but there is a similar pair on sale at eLUXURY.

The raffia makes these shoes very different, plus the contrast on the heel is flattering and gives pizazz. They’re special.

For my first post back at this blog, I’m delighted to feature these two heels. They are glittering, glamorous and everything a girl dreams of!

The first ones are these Miu Miu Glitter Pumps, they’re the perfect Cinderella does silver and gold. Decorated in jewels and darling grosgrain bow, they’re not for every feet at $470.

Secondly, we have these entirely-silver-glittered D’Orsays from Marc by Marc Jacobs that are perfect pin-up. These baby-dolls come in at $235.

This just tickles me.

I’m feeling anxious for a fashion-fix, and need to post some happy shoes. These Christian Lacroix pumps look like a real canvas painting of fresh Spring flowers. Its fuschia heels should make you smile, if nothing else.

As for the shape, I’m not sure how I like it without seeing it on a foot. I can tell, though, that there would be some decent toe cleavage exposure with that elongated point.

They’re at an amazing sale price, but in only 1 size left, and no more to be ordered. Q’uel bummer. But if we’re here to merely look, that shouldn’t get us down.

All for all, it’s a very interesting shoe, but it doesn’t get me high.

Behold.
Upcoming for Louis Vuitton’s fall line.
This marble leather pump gives me joy and envy.
It’s much greater than a shoe.
Could this piece of art even be worn?
What would be the special occasion …
shopping in Paris? …
now the imagination wanders…
such is the inspiration of a
great shoe.

This “Chantel” by Shelli Segal’s Laundry brand sings to me. It’s a mixture of fun sandal and pure elegance. Its sculpted velveted detail (no, that’s not a marble print, you’ve got to check the larger alternative view on the website) looks so rich and incredibly soft. In brown velvet, it would be suitable for any season, weather in your area permitting.

You might be looking for a purely Spring/Summer sandal, then check it out in green. It’s equally as luxe, but its leafy feel brings the thought of wilderness to the fashionista’s mind, or at least as close to wilderness as the such a girl can stand. She may even want to flit about among flowering trees, equally as much as she hopes to wear them shopping in Paris.

All that luxury at a modest $166. On the upscale in price is this fun and exquisite sandal:

by Vera Wang. This fun and delicate shoe might inspire that same girl to flit through green and flowery fields. Being from the bridal designer, the style would fit right in at the outside Spring wedding, as well. Isn’t it fantastic in green - the perfect shade of green? A girl can wear it anywhere and create fun just being in these fabulous shoes.

Oh, le sigh.

My Best Friend Forever likes to tease me about liking “Signature shoes.” He knows about my obsessions, but has the bags and shoes confused.

The truth is, when most handbag designers do shoes in Signature patterns, it is a humorous attempt to gauge money from us. But these daringly-high-heeled Gucci purple-trim ankle strap pumps are impressive, even exquisite, in comparison.

I recently found the online store, Bluefly (Shop Designer Styles for Her at Bluefly!) and was much more than overwhelmed by their vast and FABULOUS designer shoe collection. I barely had energy left in me to browse the handbags after clicking and clicking, gasping, with my pulse racing!

I am not kidding. I had to go and take a relaxing bubble bath, afterward. While my heart may have not been in any actual danger, my mind was in a tizzy, and I just could not take the excitement!

Perhaps the most heart-pumping shoes, to look at, that I found, were these Dolce & Gabbana Camel Snakeskin Pumps. Who knew that two animal prints in one shoe would look so fabulous? The fact that the leopard print is inside the shoe only means it is classier and more special. It is SUCH a treat to look at, no, to stare and gaze lovingly at.

Not only is the leather rich and beautiful, but the heel is a wonderful height for an elegant look. Don’t let your eye skip the detail in the smooth curves from arch to heel to the back of the shoe. Oh, my, such the sighs from this shoe.

Oy! Just from writing this and finding this shoe for you, I have the hiccups! I am in over my head. Whew, I need some water.

Gasp! THIS is the perfect Manolo Blahnik shoe for me! It has the moderate heel and neutral color for wearing anytime anywhere. It is classic, with a bow that is sophisticated, not overtly girly. It looks like a classic pump kissed with ballet skimmer style.

And, joy of joys, it has the lovely name; Balleri. *swoon*

Alas, my purse will have to grow 8 times for me to afford such a shoe.

Welcome, my dolls, to Breathless, a new haute couture / designer blog of the shoes and fashion!

You will find many exquisite shoes and some fine clothing, as well as disses on the bad; the very bad some designers pass off as fashionable.

About the layout…

It is created to be looked at by the lovely Firefox. I couldn’t get it the same for IE, but it’s acceptable. Because of that it isn’t even how it was originally intentioned. Peoples, the Internet Explorer is not safe for you to browse with!

I took the idea of shoes and handbags that compliment each other from inspiration by the fashion blog, Coolchiq. Thank you! Our theme will not change its pictures, but I will add skinnable styles soon. It takes a while to set a theme up, and I spent a lot of time getting this one just so. Other script bug fixes took a while, so this is opening up later in the day than planned.

This style features shoes from the bedazzled-detailed designer Lozzi, and the handbag is from Lucchi.

What can I say about these exquisite pieces? The Lozzi Jeweled Metallic Purple Leather D’Orsays practically speak for themselves, just view the picture. The Lozzi shoes are not so expensive that the richness in style does not make up for it. I would very much encourage saving up a little and then spending freely on a fabulous shoe from this Lozzi!

And the handbag from Caterina Lucchi is a mix of sturdiness and quaint elegance, with lizard embossed genuine leather. Its unique strap is adorned with a sparkling rhinestone and will be the perfect accessory of style and function. It is dainty, to fit in the gala-attending lady’s hand, and affordable, I say, at $85 dollars.
