Manolo Blahnik Resort 2010 Collection

Neiman Marcus just put up the Resort 2010 collection of Manolo Blahnik’s (reminds me of Carrie Bradshaw). They definitely had a snakeskin trend going on throughout the collection. I think a lot of the shoes look very classy. Here are a few, the prices range from $575-$795. The rest you can check out of Neiman Marcus’ website.

Manolo Blahnik, Rebecca Minkoff, Carlos Falchi and other designers were asked by Ugg Australia to make custom Uggs. The Uggs will be made in order to auction off for charity next month. I wonder what the Manolo’s are going to look like? And do you think Carrie Bradshaw would strap up in ‘em? Nah, probably not lol.

PSA: Louboutins Are Not Made For Comfort

Although most of us see Christian Louboutin’s shoes as fabulous, almost perfect, works of art, he admittedly states, they are not made for comfort. The Washington Post’s Robin Givhan was able to talk to Mr. Louboutin himself recently when he made an appearance at Tysons Galleria in Virginia (which I’m highly mad I missed). Louboutin stated, "I would hate for someone to look at my shoe and say, 'Oh my God! That looks so comfortable!' That's not what I want to project. But I'm not a sadist," he says. "I don't believe suffering makes you beautiful. But comfort is not part of my creative process." And so he is right. They definitely aren’t the most comfortable shoes, but damn you look good wearing them. Plus, me being a shortie, I can tower over everyone in his five inch heels and feel important. Louboutin says he understands he is not a technician and does not try to project so. And although his shoes are not as comfortable as his rival Manolo Blahnik, his creativity – in my opinion – is far more superb. Technician or no technician, and as long as I don’t topple over and die, Louby’s are alright with me.
