Random Musing of the Day

My roommate sent me this link on nymag.com and one word came to mind: seriously? I understand Louboutins are highly regarded in the fashion community, but sometimes I feel that designers overextend themselves and decide it would be a great idea to put something out there. Is it because they think that any cousumer would buy it because of the famous brand or is it really an artistic expression from the designer himself? To be honest, I don't see any fashionable woman (unless she's an oddball like Lady Gaga or a shoe collector) wearing these shoes. Why would you want to look like a fiesty feline? If you ask me, I think they're a little too much "grr."

Shoe Spotlight: Christian Louboutin's "Rodita" Sandals

I was strolling through Santana Row in San Jose this evening and was stopped in my tracks when I came across the "Rodita" Sandal by Christian Louboutin. I love the crisscross straps, the zip detailing, and the fact that the buckle fastens around the ankle. They come in various colors such as navy, black, red, and white. However, Louboutin has teamed up with Footcandy to make limited pairs of the "Rodita" sandal in hot pink. Although these sandals cost a staggering $895, all proceeds will go to GTAEF (Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation), which helps rescue elephants from the streets of Thailand. What a great way to buy a fabulous pair of shoes and support such a great cause at the same time!
