Stellaaaaaaaaa! You, Design Sneakers?

First: Adidas by Stella McCartney
Fortasse Canvas Sneakers
$130
Second: Adidas by Stella McCartney
Lucari Tennis Performance Sneakers
$185

Yes, Stella McCartney does design sneakers! Their nothing too fancy, but they're doable. Nothing to extra like Pastry sneakers. I just don't believe that the sneakers should cost as much as they do. Personally you can always find an alternate.

Crazy Alexander

As crazy as Alexander McQueen's shoe designs are, should we have some type abhorrence for him due to his artistic value? Of course his shoes look unrealistic and sometimes non-flabbergasting. In my personal opinion, I rather have someone with an unwise and foolish inventive designs, than have someone that always reiterates the same design and/or just adding one design to it each season, just so it can’t be considered as the “same ‘exact’ shoe. McQueen defines fashion and I truly admire that… I just wish I could afford his designs.

Bake with Me

Last week after I got off work, I decided to walk into Bakers. I normally don't go in there because I think a lot of their shoes are just plan cheap and they don't respect my shoe size (11). But because I'm such a shoe lover I decided to just peep around, I also had an alternative motive going in. One of the associates helped me out, who was very nice might I add. She informed that there were a few size elevens in the back, which I was OH SO NOT reluctant regarding trying them on. One of the shoes was a little bootie (pictured first (Julee). They were "ok". I say that because they made my feet look like I was Frankenstein’s black sister. The second pair (pictured second (Stacey) made me think WHOA! The platforms on these bad boys are CRAZY! I walked around in them and made my purchase. Later throughout the week I just stared at them and thought... "I don't think these are going to work." They're 5 1/2 inches. The height is not the problem because I have a few heels that high. I returned them yesterday and decided to switch them out for a different pair (pictured third (Victoria). I thought to myself that they looked like The YSL pumps, that I cannot as of yet afford. I exchanged them no problem. I really wanted the Kullie pumps by Jessica Simpson (pictured fourth). I even went back to my old job at Nordstrom and tried to get a friend of mine to find them in my size. She searched and found out that they were at one time made in a size eleven. *sigh* BUT MY QUESTION IS, "WHERE THE HECK ARE THEY!?" I've been searching HARD for them and no luck. Another friend of mine that works at Nordstrom said that he would try to look even harder for me. He knows that I love shoes :-) So PRAY EVERYONE! PRAY THAT THEY CAN FIND ME THESE SHOES! I just love the way they feel...
