How much do you spend on shoes?

So how much would you spend on your dream shoes? Is there even a limit? And what would that shoe look like? Kanye West collaborated with Giuseppe Zanotti to make the shoes seen below. They're gorgeous, but also über pricey. They're being sold at Colette, in Paris, for about $6,000 (the white one) and about $1,000 (the black one). The white one is embroidered with pearls, so maybe they're worth the hefty price tag? For a little sense of relativity, one pair of the pearl heels can get you about 10 pairs of Jimmy Choo suede platform pumps at Bergdorf's. What do you think?

Lace Heels

I was on instagram the other day and saw the most stunning lace heels. I then was compelled to google the shoes and learn more about them. It was like I found a treasure trove of the most amazing shows ever. For me, it would seem that lace shoes would be hard to design because I would try to avoid having them be kitschy or appropriate for only weddings since lace usually conveys Victorian era daintiness to me…

Well on my search, I found this one that was just sheer awesomeness because it seems to be edgy enough just from being high tops.

and these were the pair that started my quest:

But that search led me to a list of shoes on polyvore that were based on those keywords and although some of them weren't exactly the "lace" I was thinking of, these shoes are in their own right all sorts of amazing!
Like this one from open ceremony:


and this Jeffrey Campbell one (I absolutely LOVE Jeffrey Campbell!):



and Christian Dior's take:



So, if you're free today, do what I did and ogle these shoes and start imagining your fantasy shoe closet ;D
