Taylor Momsen Keeps it Classy is a post from: Your Next Shoes

June 27, 2010 – Taylor Momsen lights a cigarette before performing with her band “Pretty Reckless” at the 2010 Warped Tour

I know I’m a bit late writing about Taylor Momsen’s hooker heels, but her shoes were really NOT the first thing people noticed when these pictures came out, okay? I would’ve included more pictures from the set but I am not about to post underage upskirt shots on our lovely blog about shoes.

As soon as people (including me) got over the initial shock of Taylor’s, um, state of undress at her band’s Warped Tour performance, they realized that it wasn’t over yet and they still had to contend with the rest of her outfit. Well, the rest of what’s there anyway, because there really isn’t much except for her shoes. And wow, what shoes they are:

Taylor Momsen’s lucite “tip me” stripper heels

If this is some kind of a joke, either I fail to get it or it’s very poorly delivered. I’m quite sure that this is all just an image thing for Taylor Momsen, but underwear, smoking and hooker heels are not what I want to imagine on a 16-year-old.

If this was all just for publicity, then good job Taylor because you got everyone talking about you (though the same can’t be said for her parents who seem to be non-existent at the moment). This whole stripper and underwear-as-outerwear look has also led me to find her shoes and yes, I DID FIND HER SHOES:

They’re the Tipjar 728-5 clear ankle strap platform sandals from who else but Pleaser (self-proclaimed “premiere maker of sexy and alternative footwear”), and wow, there are like a dozen more variations of them:

More Pleaser Tipjar heels, some with extra high platforms for more room for tips!

Taylor Momsen did eventually let someone put dollar bills in her shoes later at that concert and it also looks like she’ll be wearing this whole costume for the rest of the Warped Tour:

All I can say is… “Pretty Reckless” actually has some decent music. *Whistles and walks away from this mess*

17 Gold and Diamond Shoes Like the $155,000 Eternal Borgezie Stilettos for Much, Much Less

17 Gold and Diamond Shoes Like the $155,000 Eternal Borgezie Stilettos for Much, Much Less is a post from: Your Next Shoes

As I was more wowed by the price tag on the $155,000 Eternal Borgezie Gold and Diamond Stilettos than anything else on it, I promised to search for shoes that are just as sparkly but had more to offer design-wise in a next post. So here I am delivering on that promise and by god, did I find a TON of sparkly gold and faux diamond shoes.

I’m not surprised why there are so many. Gold, diamonds and shoes are three of women’s most favorite things in the world so to combine them in a single design is like the holy grail of shoes (again, see the Borgezie stilettos). I think any woman who has ever shopped for a pair of formal/semi-formal shoes can also attest to that; sparkly gold shoes abound and run aplenty in those departments of any woman’s shoe store.

So needless to say, I found more gold shoes encrusted with rhinestones, crystals, beads, metallic studs, glitter and everything else sparkly than I could ever care for. I have no better way of presenting them to you other than by categorizing them according to price, but I did make sure of one thing: you could get the same (blah) look of the Borgezie stilettos or even better for much, much, MUCH less with these shoes.

Pleaser Bond Girl Bullet Studded Platform Sandals

Pleaser Bond Girl Bullet Studded Platform Sandals is a post from: Your Next Shoes

Check out these studded and platform sandals from Pleaser:

Pleaser Bond Girl 703, US$60

Pleaser Bond Girl 768, US$76

Pleaser Bond Girl 702, US$57

Pleaser Bond Girl 712, US$61

Ok, seriously, does anyone actually wear these shoes? The platforms are extremely thick and the heels are extremely high, but I guess some really go for such extraordinary pieces because why would Pleaser make these shoes if no one would buy them, right?

This Bond Girl collection comes with gun-inspired studs (notice the bullet-like metal detailing?) and gun-inspired sky high 7.5” sculptured heels. There’s even one that comes with a detachable studded ankle cuff in case you want to use the ankle cuff as a bracelet or something.

Pleaser Bond Girl 701-3, US$70

I truly wonder how these shoes will feel like when worn. So what do you think of this fresh set? Like it or wouldn’t even think about wearing it?

The collection is available at Shoebuy.com in case you change your mind.

The Search for Ashley Olsen’s Fendi Heels Lookalike

The Search for Ashley Olsen’s Fendi Heels Lookalike is a post from: Your Next Shoes

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen were seen last February 22 sashaying down the red carpet of the Elle Style Awards 2010. As they were there to receive their Style Icon award, both twins were out in full couture force, wearing who’s who of fashion from head to toe:

Mary Kate wore a Lanvin dress while Ashley was in customized Christian Lacroix. Both accessorized their long see-through gowns with Bulgari jewels.

Both girls look very deserving of their Style Icon Award, but I am particularly enamored with Ashley’s dreamy Fendi heels. Here’s a clearer picture of Ashley’s shoes with all of the tulle out of the way:

Ashley and Mary Kate Olsen + clearer view of Ashley’s heels

I went searching high and low for a copy of Ashley’s shoes, but no one makes them quite like Fendi. I found one from Rocawear in the same color palette and although it gives the illusion of a wrapped shoe, it doesn’t have the fabric ankle ties like Ashley’s. At least it’s on sale at $71.99:

Rocawear Haydin Pump, $71.99

Here’s one that does have the ankle ties and even the clear platforms of Ashley’s Fendis, but it doesn’t have the same classy appeal. On the plus side, you can change the ribbons on these Pleaser USA Kiss-295 heels with any of the other interchangeable straps. You also don’t have to wear the ties that high up the leg:

Pleaser USA Kiss-295, $59.20

I ended my search with these Tashkent by Cheyenne The Sanchez Linen Sandals on High Heels. They’re the same khaki color and the same ankle ties, but because the fabric is linen, it’s more casual than formal:

Tashkent by Cheyenne The Sanchez Linen Sandals on High Heel, $485.00

Here are the real Fendi Wrap Lycra and Plexi Platform Sandals by the way:

The Fendi heels in khaki and in yellow on the runway

On second thought, these heels aren’t that spectacular in product view and I daresay the lycra fabric looks kind of cheap on the yellow color. Maybe these heels only gets all of its tantalizing power from Ashley? Then perhaps the not-so-lookalikes I found have the potential to look as stunning as the Fendis on Ashley Olsen… Aah, such is the power of a style icon.

Leave a comment if you find a better lookalike of Ashley Olsen’s Fendi heels!

Leighton Meester and Her Multi-Buckle Boots Shoot Gossip Girl in Brooklyn

Leighton Meester and Her Multi-Buckle Boots Shoot Gossip Girl in Brooklyn is a post from: Your Next Shoes

Leighton Meester was spotted last January 27 in Brooklyn, shooting scenes for Gossip Girl.

Leighton Meester and her multi-buckle boots

Check out the multi-buckle boots on her feet. Very modern and edgy, definitely not the usual winter boots most people would wear. But then again, I am not surprised. Leighton has always been a fashionable lady with good taste.

I haven’t ID’d the boots yet, but I’m betting boots like these are hot this season. Even Balmain has its own version of the multi-buckle boots (see picture below). The price tag is a little hard to digest though, it’s at US$1605. But I found out that you can get it at 30% off if you buy it at Shopbop.com.

Giuseppe Zanotti for Balmain Buckle Boots, US$1605

I’m quite sure the boots Leighton is wearing in the picture are pricey too. For a similar look without spending too much, here are 2 pairs I would like to suggest, one from Pleaser USA, the other from Two Lips:

Two Lips Doobie, US$154

Pleaser USA Police-201, on sale for US$66
