Genius or Crazy: Wedge sandals with secret compartment

Photo from stylefrizz.com

These Double Agent wedges seem to answer every party girls's concern... safekeeping of cellphone, credit card, some cash, and car keys while on the dance floor. It has a "door" on the heel that opens for you to keep your valuables inside the wedge. If you don't mind hearing tip tapping while you walk, this might be the shoe for you.

Isn't a clutch enough? Genius or plain crazy idea? 

Heel condoms. Your thoughts?

These are so nineteen-forgotten!

Aside from the pretty shoes, handbags and accessories that you can find at bakershoes.com, you will also see heel condoms to update your plain pumps. At first I thought their heel condoms would be just like the first heel condoms in the market that completely cover the heels to somehow protect them (I think that's the main reason why they're invented in the first place.), but, they are not. And the newer versions are cuter!

The updated version does not cover the actual heels but the back of the shoe. It attaches via an elastic band that goes under the heel... more like a stirrup so it fits snuggly without the ugly bulges. Hurrah for that!

The question now is... 

Jeffrey Campbell 'Get Out' platform pump or wedge?

Will you go out wearing this Jeffrey Campbell platform pump with major identity crisis? Is it a pump or a wedge? I don't know either. Maybe we should invent a new term here--pedge!

Red Sole Battle

The sole in question, Yves Saint Laurent 'Palais' pump.

Christian Louboutin finally had enough. He sued Yves Saint Laurent for making the sole of their red 'Palais' pump red. The sole in question is from YSL's Spring 2011 collection which includes a purple pump with purple sole, green pump with green sole and blue pump with blue sole.

What's your take on this issue?

Shoe Picks for Kate Middleton

A few days left before the most anticipated event of the year--the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. And while the rest of us are excited on what Kate's wedding gown will look like, I am more excited on what shoes she'll wear with it. And while we are still so clueless about some of the most important details of the wedding, if I were Kate, I will pick any of these shoes to go with my wedding dress.

Christian Louboutin 'Fifi' crystal embellished peep toe pump, $3,095 at Bergdorf Goodman.
I doubt if Her Royal Highness would approve of this overly expensive pump. But, it will sure look good with the wedding dress.

Jeffrey Campbell 'Sky Room' gravity defying sandal

Jeffrey Campbell 'Sky Room' sandal, $189.95 at Nordstrom.

Yes, it is a shoe and it is by Jeffrey Campbell. I haven't seen anything like this before... I mean the split foot bed. I could not imagine myself wearing this. Although the toe bed and heel are cushioned, an arch without something to rest on is something that can blow anyone's mind. And what's even more disturbing about this is that the heel and platform rest on a thick sole giving you 6 inches elevation.
