Christian Louboutin "Space Odd" studded clear pump

Christian Louboutin "Space Odd" pump, $1,195.

Plastic heels or plex heels were a big thing in shoes in 2010 when I started this blog and it is interesting to know that it is making a comeback. It is perhaps popularized again by Kim Kardashian who often wears transparent shoes from her husband's Yeezy collection. Naturally, big labels would want to capitalize on the idea that plastics are in so they come up with designs that may or may not suit your taste. An example of designer brands is Christian Louboutin who released this "Space Odd" pump with studs on the clear upper. I honestly don't know how to make of it.

Christian Louboutin 'Pina Spike' pumps

So, I guess spikes will  be a mainstay in our shoe racks in a couple of more years. Ever since Louboutin used spikes to add edge and flare to shoes, almost every known shoe designer earth managed to add one on their own. There are a few, though, who became successful at it, while some went overboard and who knows what happened to their designs.

Anyway, if Louboutin is the king of spikes... then, he really is the king of spikes. What I like about 'Pina Spike' is the color blocking of black and gold patent leather and the ubiquitous red sole. Of course, the ever sexy ankle strap is there to emphasize that the shoe is not for the faint of heart. Its heel measures 120mm so you better not stand or walk for a long time wearing it.

This is available at netaporter.com for $1,045.

Go Green!

It's St. Patrick's Day and what better way to celebrate it than to wear something green to bring good luck. If you are a little shy to wear a green dress, why not wear green shoes instead.

You can go sweet with a lace up pump like this Bionda Castana pump with scalloped toe edges.

Add a romantic twist on your ensemble with this green pump with lace overlay.

You can go a little punk with studs.

Or something metallic for evening parties like this Giuseppe Zanotti pump.

Or wear something satin for added glam.

Classic pumps will get you from day to night. If you go for a darker shade of green, it's for evening affairs. It you go for a lighter shade, it's for daytime.

Giuseppe Zanotti 120mm Anja Rubik sandals

Your guess is as good as mine...

Giuseppe Zanotti named his shoe design Anja Rubik as an ode to Anja Rubik, one of fashion land's notorious faces. Of course, the design was based on Anja's personality... rocker and punk, hence the multiple "piercings" and chain.

What do you think? Is it worth your $1826 at luisaviaroma.com?
