The weekend's almost here...can't you taste it!?!
Anyway spectator pumps and booties (menswear inspired oxford shoes with a heel), have come from the 1920's and landed smack on the runways of the Fall 2007 Ready to Wear Shows:
Reyes
Betsey Johnson
Zac Posen
Tons of stores are offering high and low priced options for the fall:
Top Row: Bally 'Glania' Pump, $595, www.nordstrom.com; Lumiana Epic, $150, zappos.com
Patent-leather-and-suede pump, Charles David, $345, www.charlesdavid.com for stores.Middle Row: Eva High Heel Lace Up Platform Booties, $635, www.gucci.com; Spectator Platform Oxford, $59, www.spiegel.com; Ruffled pump, Miu Miu, $525, 888-977-1900.
Bottom Row: Lace-up perforated pump, Bebe, $159, www.bebe.com for stores; Spectator bootie, $79, www.victoriassecret.com; Flannel-and-patent-leather bootie, Stuart Weitzman, $299, www.neimanmarcus.com.
They seem sorta cute, but I'm not too sure how I feel about them. Looking at the pickings (and prices!), I'm wondering if they'll look as good on as they do on the runway...or be worth the bling.
Thoughts?
Smootches!

PSSS Thanks to elle.com for providing a few shoe images.
Girl you had it right on the money. I knew I wasnt the only one lovin those Miu Miu pumps. Arent they great! Like a wrapped gift for my feet!
ReplyDeleteI love spectators! It's so Great Gatsby! However, it is so easy to go so wrong with this look...It is not the type of shoe you can just throw on and go...
ReplyDeletei love the shoes...i dunno how to pull it together yet but i want some BAD
ReplyDeleteI love those miu miu pumps too!
ReplyDeleteI like this trend. I think the all black ones from zappos.com are safe enough to follow the trend without looking silly. Gonna pop 'em on with some textured tights!
ReplyDeleteClaire! Thanks for linking me...I'm hoping to make it to the show tonight, but who am I kidding...I'm chained to my desk for the next month. I'm sending a friend in place of me. Let me know if you need press credentials etc. I'll pass mine on to you. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteI say yes. I tried on a pair of Carlos Santana last night in Macy's and they're so cute. If only they had a bigger size. I'ma try my best to find them. You're on point. Stay in touch!!!
ReplyDeletehow sick are the miu miu!
ReplyDeletei don't think so. i think the style looks a little funny and overly trendy. i can sse this going the way of the ugg and the manolo blahnik timbs.
ReplyDeleteCan we get some "real style wears" to see what to wear with these shoes??
ReplyDeletethe spectator from spiegel would go great with black slacks, suspenders and a white top, i can see the look now! and im in love with the Stuart Weitzman as well, and those red ones from charles david, ok so maybe im liking this trend :D
