Spectacular Louboutin Shoes for Spring

Fall head over heels with Christian Louboutin’s latest collection of shoes for Spring 2008. Whether it be the stiletto, the flat, the wedge or the midi, Louboutin’s red sole shoes are always a must have! My favorites are the Rodita zip platforms, Zouzou sandals, and Passmule Zeppa wedges in flouro pink and more. Now if only I had the budget for them. Check out the spring collection at Net-A-Porter.com.

Zipped Back Gladiator Shoes

When it comes to shoes, I like them to be easy to slip in and out of. I usually can’t be bothered with straps if I can help it. So when I started searching for gladiator flats, the ones with zippered backs appealed to me the most. And since I didn’t want to commit too much to the style, I didn’t want to spend much on them either. I found the perfect pair, stylewise and pricewise, in these Dorian gladiators from Baker shoes. They are $49.95. I couldn’t decide between brown or white, so I got both!

Christian Louboutin to Sign Shoes at Barneys

Christian Louboutin will be making personal appearances at Barneys New York on May 1 at the Madison Avenue flagship store and on May 7 in Beverly Hills.

There you’ll get a chance for a quick tête à tête with the renowned shoe designer and have your red-sole shoes signed.

Louboutin’s colorful and rhyming autographs are well worth waiting in line for. My friend got hers last fall. Take a look at what he signed. It’s a work of art in itself. And he doesn’t only sign the shoes. He’ll sign your invitation and shoe bag too if you ask. He’ll also graciously pose with you for photos.

For those wondering, and I guess it goes without saying, only new shoes can be signed.

I’ll have to find a way to make it to Beverly Hills in atrocious traffic on a weekday and to not put my purchase on credit (as I prefer not to, but I’ve been shopping a lot lately). Hmmm. This reminds me, I still have unworn Louboutin wedge boots from the last Barneys Warehouse Sale. But then wedge shoes won’t work…
