Gorgeous blogger Jennine from The Coveted is in town for Fashion Week, so she stopped by my apartment to meet the dogs and rummage through my closet. She got very attached to my Louis Vuitton gold platforms, as you can see.
Jennine also organized a fabulous and very successful fashion blogger party, which took place Monday night. I took this photo of gorgeous blogger Vyque‘s backwards-heel shoes there.
Last year, Fernando the iHog was mystified by this style, but Vyque was really working it. Moral of the story: don’t take fashion advice from pigs.
UPDATED TO ADD: As I told Jennine, I’ve worn those gold shoes for practically every dressy occasion for years. You can them peeping out from under my Zang Toi dress in the first photo here and with an Ossie Clark dress here. You can also identify them by the ankle strap in the picture of my pinkish/lavender strapless Zang here.
I want the gold LV platforms as well! Sooo pretty.
I wish I were in New York…man!
I’m going for a day and a half next month, but I’m sure it won’t be nearly as interesting. =(
I saw the backwards-heel shoe a year ago and instantly fell in love. It still pains me to look at them and know that they’re gone now and/or I still don’t have the money to buy them. I think its the total impracticality of it that gets to me.
Did you frisk her before she left?
Imelda, yes, but only because Jennine’s so sex-ay and I’m a pervert. It had nothing to do with the shoes.
I love backwards heels
I have to say, I LOVE those gold shoes. Yes ma’am. Your taste, I likes it!
Is there any reason your word verification says “septic”? Yikes!
I too would get attached to those Vuitton gold heels. I think I’d have to commit a crime to get them away.
Cooooooooooooooool!
Hi there-your gold shoes are soo stylish, I’m still trying to get my head round the Marc Jacobs ones-I wonder if they are comfy!!
I’m getting some serious shoe lust from this post…*dribble* x
Two fashionistas meeting up in NYC, you must had a wonderful time with Jennine! A joyful post!
Those are what shoes must look like in the future. Tell me which teams to bet on to achieve riches now.
Those are hot shoes! I can see why you AND Jennine love them so much.
Those backwards shoes have always confounded me: what do they feel like to walk in?
Wendy, lovely golden shoes!
how fun!
Ha – I love the moral of the story. I must remember to stop listening to pigs. Wise words, Wendy.
The Louis Vuitton platforms are divine. A sound investment.
I don’t blame her for loving your gold shoes, they are stunners.
Vyque is really working those backward shoes, impressive!
Very nice except those shoes? No thanks.
The gold shoes are great, I can see why you like to wear them so often, they will go with absolutely everything! I can’t stop looking at those backwards heels, they never fail to fascinate me. They are meant to boggle the mind after all, that’s why I love them!
She looks so cute, and your shoes are really pretty. It sounds like so much fun to meet fellow bloggers, something I haven’t yet had the chance to do.
Whoa, I had to look at those backward heels a few times. It’s like looking at a Magritte painting!
LOVE the gold shoes too. Wearing gold shoes always makes me happy.
Sweeeet platforms, WendyB.
I bet it was a challenge to pry those platforms off her feet …
That sounds so cool! Those shoes are awesome.
So fun! Love those surreal shoes!

Your gold shoes are gorgeous, and I’ve been wanting a pair of those MJ heels since they came out. I’d love to ask her how they feel.
OMG those backward shoes are so cool!
A pair of strappy metallic heels are one of a girls best friends – dress em up dress em down.
Excellent shoes! I would have kept one hand clasped around her ankle as she tried them.

the backwards heel shoes look so awkward. i’m sure they work, but i feel like they would be painful?
ooh little girly get together..so fun! and i can see why she went gaga over the shoes,they’re FAB!
Wish I was in NY.
xx-LJ from SOS!
BTW, I think you'll dig this jumpsuit:

they look really hard to walk in
So much fun! J is gorgeous…
how cute and cool!
Loves the shoes! I want a pair.
You can’t go wrong with a gold sandal! Love the crazy shoes – what are they like to walk in??
Vyque, can I borrow?
Wow, those shoes are crazy!
Love those gold platforms! If they were mine I’d wear them everyday for the rest of my life and get buried in them.
I totally want to rummage through your closet and steal all your things.
ooo WOW amazing shoes!! i do love the backwards heel ones!
hahah… the only reason i didn’t steal those shoes was because i had a feeling you’d wear them with my favorite dress.
it was so lovely meeting with you the other day! i already miss you!
LOVE those LV shoes!!!
Yay, my misplaced heels! They’re actually quite comfy!
i wanna try on your shoes. in new york march 22 – march 27. MARK YOUR CALENDAR AND LOVE ME. thank you!
