Love It or Hate It? | adidas Y-3 Torsion Heels

Y-3 introduces a new heel silhouette for their collection with adidas. While I can get cozy with the black version, I'm not sure about the multi-colored style.... it reminds me of when people try to convert their jordans into heels. Tragic!

Rochas Does New-Age Mules in Fall 2010

 “Mule” doesn’t exactly have a glamorous connotation. In fact they don't even come close to glam, but leave it to Rochas to step in and revamp the word entirely with mules from the Fall 2010 collection.

Just think: Gilded leather, bedazzled buckle, studded heel: there’s a whole lot of sparkle here.

"Bad Shoes & the Women Who Love Them"

Leora Tanenbaum, a native New Yorker and "icon of the third-wave feminist movement," is giving ladies a lesson on heels. But, this isn't her first time sharing her thoughts- she's previously written a book on sexual double standards with "Slut! Growing Up With a Bad Reputation," female in-fighting ("Catfight! Women and Competition") and religion ("Taking Back God: American Woman Rising Up for Religious Equality").

However, it's her fourth book, on women and the shoes we choose, that is sure to spark some debate amongst fashionistas. 

“ Bad Shoes & the Women Who Love Them (Seven Stories Press; Mother’s Day 2010) is both a celebration of the spunk and sex appeal that can dress up a woman’s feet, and a lighthearted wake-up call to women to make informed decisions when buying and wearing fashionable shoes. The book explores our desires to wear ‘bad shoes’, delves into the fascinating history and psychology of them, and gives us the information we need to buy pairs that are both cute and comfy. Illustrated throughout by Vanessa Davis”.

Anemone Barbie by Christian Louboutin [Net-a-Porter]

Alas, the limited edition Christian Louboutin Barbie series has come to an end with the third and final doll. Unlike the previous versions (Cat Burglar + Dolly Forever), the third doll is styled to be at the Cannes Film Festival. With gorgeous red locks and a green satin gown, this doll is picture perfect. The purple bow featured on the dress was also designed by Christian’s personal Parisian bow maker.

Like the previous dolls, the new 'Anemone Barbie' by Christian Louboutin comes with her very own pairs of Loubs and is currently available at Net-a-Porter.com for $150.
