Ashley Olsen and Christian Louboutin?

Wednesday, May 9th, 2007

I suppose when you are a billionaire teen and your favorite shoe designer is Christian Louboutin, that can get you a date with the king of Red Carpet Heels. Ashley and Christian Louboutin were together at the Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute Benefit Gala. I’m sure Ashely was wearing Christian Louboutin shoes, but you just can’t see them under that floor sweeping gown she has on. She does look elegant, I must say.

olsensmet.jpg

There were plenty of other stars there as well — Lindsay Lohan, Kate Moss, Salma Hayek. Supermodels were abundant, so no doubt there were thousands of dollars of Christian Louboutin shoes sprinkled among the crowd.
Reports Frillr:
While Lindsay Lohan’s lawyers are demanding that England’s News of the World newspaper produce a videotape they claim shows her snorting cocaine, the freckled beauty squeezed into a revealing Goth dress for a night on the town.

Lindsay Lohan joined a bevy of stars who donned their worst for the Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute benefit gala

Metallic silver, platinum and gold dominated the event, and continuing the trend Sienna Miller started last year , minis shocked fashionistas reports New York Post.

Jennifer Lopez dazzled in Marchesa, Jennifer Hudson redeemed herself a tiny bit after the Oscar disaster in Michael Kors, and Jennifer Connelly and Eva Mendes looked chic in silver. Jessica Simpson looked tragic with her fake tan and exposed chest.

Beauty Cate Blanchett, who was co-chair of the event wore a Balenciaga gold fringe on the carpet. The actress shocked gossips with her new heroin chic look. Melania Trump went with a gold Michael Kors.

A sober looking Kate Moss wore a tiered chiffon gown, Salma Hayek wore black velvet.

Christina Ricci wore a strapless Calvin Klein , and Mischa Barton looked chic in Giambattista Valli

Kirsten Dunst and Kate Bosworth went for a flapper slut look. Kate Bosworth wore a Prada cocktail dress. Kirsten Dunst wore vintage Yves Saint Laurent.

Cameron Diaz went fuschia and Lucy Liu went purple. Diaz’s ready-to-wear Dior dress looked like a low budget version of the couture dress ,

Mary Kate Olsen dazzled in a black feathered gown which is receiving mixed reviews. Ashley Olsen played it safe in a white dress , her date was shoe designer Christian Louboutin.

Pam Anderson Christian Louboutin Sighting

Tuesday, May 1st, 2007

Now, I don’t really think of Pam Anderson as a designer shoe girl. But she is. I spotted her with a pair of Gucci platform pumps that I could die for. And now here Pam is at a PETA event wearaing a gorgeous beige suede Christian Louboutin peep toe pump. Pamela Anderson was introducing PETA Chief Dan Mathews at L.A. Times Festival of Books but the shoes got my attention. I know that it’s typical for stars, models etc, to put tape on the bottom of their shoes, but Pam, take the tape off when you are showing that gorgeous Christian Louboutin red leather sole!

Hillary Duff is Wearing Out Her Christian Louboutin Stilettos

Wednesday, April 25th, 2007

Victoria Beckham should be screaming Goallllll!

Friday, April 20th, 2007

So I’m a little late on the bandwagon with this story, but I decided to add my two cents anyway. Victoria Beckham, aka Posh Spice, wife of hottie soccer superstar David Beckham had the ultimate materialistic birthday from her hubby. While most women are satisfied if their husbands even remember their birthday within the proper week, let alone think of getting a card and/or present, that Posh Victoria Beckham was first whisked away from the US to Paris via private jet. Then she was treated to a private shopping spree at Christian Louboutin in Paris. Yes, the boutique close down for the Beckhams. Reportedly, Miss Vick picked out a pair of $1500 Christian Louboutin Shoes.

1beckhamsplsh1804_468x612.jpg
And the shopping didn’t end there. They proceeded on to Azzedine Alaia where she spent thousands. Of course there was more shopping and an evening that culinated at the Ritz Carlton.

And us ordinary girls save our pennies for the half yearly sale at Nordies…

Drew Barrymore is the latest celebrity to become a easy, breezy face of CoverGirl. She is the girl that we just love becaue in the world of hollywood divas, she is such a non-diva. For the press event introducing the event, Drew wore non other than the king of the red carpet shoes, Christian Louboutin.

Naomi Campbell Spikes Sales of Christian Louboutin Boots

Monday, April 9th, 2007

I would love to wear $1,500 Christian Louboutin boots to work to mop and wash windows. That’s exactly what Naomi Campbell strutted on her way to report for her cleaning duty — punishment for throwing a crytsal studded Blackberry at her assistant.

As reported by the New York Post:

Reformed supermodel NAOMI CAMPBELL’s community service wardrobe has lead to a huge demand for Christian Louboutin boots.

news003b.jpg

The English beauty, 36, wore a string of expensive, designer labels as she arrived every day for her week-long stint at New York City’s Sanitation Department last month (MAR07). Once inside, she changed into department regulation workwear.
Campbell was ordered to clean the department as punishment for attacking her maid ANA SCOLAVINO in March 2006.
One of the mornings she arrived for work, Campbell wowed the paparazzi in a pair of spike-heeled Louboutin boots, of which only a few existed.
Campbell explains, “One my first day I wore a Ralph Lauren coat, a cashmere shawl and Christina Louboutin boots. Christian got 12 hundred orders from that day.
“He wasn’t going to make those boots - now he is.”

Nicky Hilton Strikes Christian Louboutin Gold

Friday, April 6th, 2007

Okay, I guess I’m on a celebrity-Christian Louboutin-wearing-hate binge. Yesterday it’s Halle wearing my favorite Louboutin’s. Today it’s Nicky Hilton. I rhink I need a new job. One that blesses me with an infinite array of gorgeous designer shoes.

nicky.jpg

So what if Nicky can spend $720 on a new pair of Cbristian Louboutin shoes. I will just get these knock offs for $39.99.

b000mcai44_01-ar373xmrx7vj1__sclzzzzzzz_aa280_.jpg

Umm, don’t think so. Can’t do it. I’ll just save up for the real thing.

Halle’s Wearing My Shoes

Thursday, April 5th, 2007

13484499451press44200732737pm.jpg

Halle just got her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and I’m really proud of her. But why did she have to wear my favorite pair of Christian Louboutin shoes for which I’m saving. And saving. And saving. Darn her. Isn’t it enough to be beautiful, rich, an oscar winning actress, having a model turned restauranteur boyfriend? Nooo, she has to be seen in public with the shoes that I WANT!
Not only that, but she looks so good in them.

Here we see not only a bird’s eye view of Halle’s tush, but that give away red leather Louboutin sole. 13475247451press44200732721pm.jpg 13480201.jpg
And another view of these gorgeous shoes.

Thandie Newton Rocks Christian Louboutin

Friday, March 30th, 2007

Every diva in Hollywood knows that Christian Louboutin is the man. He was noted as an influencer in the most recent Allure. His shoes are gorgeous, there is no denying that. And gorgeous Thandie Newton does leopard print Christian Louboutin’s justice at a recent outing.

Pet Peeve — Unpainted Toe Nails in Open Toe Shoes

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

I really, really, really hate the look of plain ole toe nails peeking from an open toe shoe or sandal. It just think it’s plain ugly. I see this everyday on the street. And I suppose that’s ok. But when I see celebrities who are making goo gobs of money with naked toe nails, it really irks me. I mean, they spend hundreds of dollars on the shoes for the red carpet occasion. Designers like Jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin, Stuart Weitzman, Brian Atwood, Manolo Blahnik among others grace their pampered feet. I’m sure they have pedicures before the occasion as well. At least I hope so. (If not, I can hook them up for $15) So why not just put a little paint on those tootsies??? It greatly improves the presentation.

Check out these red carpet unpainted toes:

Christian Louboutin, Style Innovator

Monday, March 19th, 2007

Any woman who is a true devotee of beautiful shoes, must give all due homage to Christian Louboutin. The current issue of Allure features Chrisitan Louboutin as an modern day influencer in fashion. I’m not one to argue. He makes the most beautiful shoes. He clearly understands what makes a woman drool over leather and straps. The coveted red sole makes more red carpet appearances than any other shoe. If I could afford a wardrobe of Christian Louboutin shoes, I’d probably be afraid to wear them. I wouldn’t want to scuff that gorgeous sole. In the meantime, I’m satisfied to add yet one more pair to my lust list.

• Metallic pewter leather.
• Peep toe.
• Covered platform sole and heel.
• Signature red sole.
• Made in Italy.
Abailable at Bergdorf Goodman for $785

In case anyone forgot, I’m a size 11M.

Lust list updated.

Saks Spring Shoe Trend — Platforms

Wednesday, March 14th, 2007

I love Saks shoe selection. It’s right on target and to the point with the best of designer names. You don’t have to worry about picking the wrong shoe — they are all gorgeous. Right in step for spring, Saks interprets the spring trend in platforms. Just like wedges, they are here to stay. And how happy I am. I love platforms. Not only do you gain another inch in height, but they are much more comfortable and make maneuvering on heels that much easier!

My favorite picks from Saks:

Both in black patent, both classic. From Mui Mui an updated Mary Jane and from Christian Louboutin a gorgeous pump.

A bonus for shopping online at Saks, spend $150 and you get free shipping. No problem when you are shopping these designer names.

Lindsay Lohan Loves Shoes

Thursday, January 4th, 2007

I’m really over all the Lindsay Lohan frenzy. But I have to give the girl credit. She has great taste. She always looks fabulous when arriving at events. I don’t know about leaving events, but her poses for the paparazzi are spectacular. Well, I’m probably just gushing because she has such an awesome shoe wardrobe. As a girl who LOVES Christian Louboutin shoes, and has to pinch pennies for a SINGLE pair, I’m in awe at her Louboutin collection. At least what we see on the red carpet. How does that exquisite red leather sole manage to creep into pictures? Do the stars learn how to pose so as to show off the new Louboutins?

Here are a few sightings of Lindsay in lovely Louboutin shoes.

lindsay-shoe.jpglindsay-shoe-2.jpg

And wait, there’s more!

lindsay.jpg lindsay-shoes-3.jpg

And of course the requisite rear pose definitely shows off the tell tale red sole of Christian Louboutin craftmanship.

lindsay-cl.jpg

On a serious note, how did our society evolve to one where teenage girls wear shoes that cost hundreds of dollars? What does this tell my daughters about the value of material things? Does it really matter that they make millions and can afford a lavish lifestyle? When I think of how I save my pennies to purchase a pair of pricy shoes that I just love, I cringe at the thought of a teen buying the same item with abandon.

For me as a parent, it’s imperative to instill not only values regarding morals, civic duty and charity with my daughters. But values regarding a cold hard cash are equally important. While it’s a pleasure to have beautiful expensive things (shoes in particular), true happiness in life comes from fulfilling oneself mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.

And a new pair of shoes once in a while doesn’t hurt either.

About Shoe Boxers

Would you rather spend your last dollar on a killer pair of Jimmy Choo stilettos or save your cash and traipse around town in a pair of last years flip flops? If you chose the latter, this site is not for you. Shoeboxers is for the Shoe Diva. For the girl who stands out in a crowd – likely because her 4 inch heels have her towering over everyone else.
