2008 Spring Ready-to-wear Shoes

Sandra Rose September 19, 2008

In an earlier post today, I asked who the makers of Solange Knowles’ fabulous wedge boots were. Loyal readers Ashley and Aisha T emailed me to say Solange is wearing the Chloé patent leather Wedge Ski Booties (above).

While we’re on the subject of hawt shoes! features some of the hottest Spring 2008 shoes and sandals by name brand designers. Check out my favorites below:

Ralph Lauren Phylisse boot with patent detail

Manolo Blahnik Lace-up sandal

Givenchy Metallic leather ankle-strap sandal

Yves Saint Laurent Sayuri platform sandal

Bruno Frisoni Leather sandal with striped bow

Christian Dior Blue Angel spectator pump

ooooohhhhh looking at those Givenchy’s is like foreplay about right now!

OMG…

gold shoes are HAWT! The rest are a HAWT MESS!
Naima

don’t you see the economy is crumbling and US (the taxpayers) will be paying 1 trillion to get Wall Street out of this mess. And y’all still promoting these ugly designer clothers. On top of that I bet they don’t hire any black folks to make these and I never see you guys promote Tracy Reese or other black designers

I love Chloe shoes the designs are different but she uses alot of hard leather (Break them in before wearing them). I like Mui-Mui and Jimmy Choo too. The ones Solo had on are cute but she always tries to wear different shoes than most in the game.

Naima…I see where you coming from. I like quality clothing and that’s what I buy. I personally have never heard of Tracy Reese and I live in fashion magazines. I support anyone that makes clothing that I look dope in!

Does Tracy Reese market her product towards african americans?
PAGESINADIARY

despite the name brand they are all ugly!!

HMMMMMMM…Fashion Fair make-up is made by African Americans for African Americans.

NAIMA…DO YOU OWN ANY FASHION FAIR?
Sharonda

Do average people really go out and buy these?If so, please get a clue.They cute for celebrities because they get them for free or borrow them.Overall, they nice because I love fashion, but I wouldn’t buy them.
Kymystry

im tellin yall .. wait for the knock offs on ebay … you can only wear them for a season …

look at that P.Sh!tty post … he paid 600.00 for some gold foil sneakers and he STILL stepped in poop !
Kymystry

lemme google Tracy Reese

Well, Regular people in the know dont actually pay market prices ither.

The thing about purchasing high end items is the guaranteed service (even if you are not a celebrity – to have money does not mean you have to be a celebrity). You can always take your product back even if you had it for years (true story).
bloggergirlz

those Givenchy and Christian Dior shoes and HAWT!

Kymystry

I know that’s right, KYM!!

I don’t think I OWN or will ever pay more than $200 for boots or heels! And my shoe game is on point, might I add!

Kymystry

aikandy

@ Kym

COSIGN. Spending ridiculous money on these designers is soo not my steez, AT ALL. I love me some Ebay though, but still not goin for it, ESPECIALLY not these dressy shoes. Got to be able to try them suckers on, uncomfortable ass things.

I rarely even set foot in a department store and about the only thing I go to the mall for is the FOOD COURT!! Yeah, umm, let me get the bourbon chicken, chicken and broccoli, and fried rice. Oooh! And an egg roll! =)
aikandy

Be careful what you lust for, I have the Samsung set and because they are “high efficiency” a wash could take upwards of 2 hours when you prewash (which is necessary because so little water is used), extra rinse (again necessary), and silver care (not sure what it does, but if pay 15 for a washer, might as well use its features)….shoes on the other hand, are immediate gratification!
kwallace577

ROTFL @kym. yes gurl. my husband said if i want it I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. he sees nothing wrong with the set we have. so he said if i pay the balance on his sears card i can go and charge the new set. that is going to be my christmas present to the house. and since he wanna be salty about it i am gonna make his azz go to the laundrymat like the mexicans.

hell i never thought i would be excited about doing laundry!!

They started a message board. I didn’t want to put the address on here, out of respest for Auntie. But she did say once that she didn’t care if people migrated elsewhere. Keep it real, if it wasn’t for her, we would have never met. We were even calling ourselves Rosebuds! lol They’re planning a meet and greet vacation for next year and everything!

F*ck it- www. dablabber. yuku. com [remove the spaces after the (.)]

yay @ HunE …

How does a supposedly fashionista never hear of Tracy Reese? I am not all into fashion like that but I have heard of her. Oprah, Beyonce and Halle have worn her stuff and no she does not only cater to AA, she just happent to be one.
http://www.myspace.com/hune916 HunE916

Sandra knows I love her! No disrespect! She’s getting people together! Ain’t nothing wrong with that!
Kymystry

Naima .. if I had a daughter that was going to be her name … My G-mom’s name is Naomi … so I was torn between Naomi and Naima (the arabic for Naomi) … either way I love both names
Naima

No I am not into FF, I think its for older people. I am not making it something against the fans, but I don’t know why all these black blogs never show anything from black designers. Black blogs in general always seems like they are promoting high price items in general knowning damn well ain’t nobody going to go out and buy it. You know who is buying these products FOREIGNERS, they come over here with their Euros and end up paying like half the price Americans do b/c the value of the dollar is less.

___________________________________________________________

Naima, let me clarify something nowhere uo there does it say…I “DIVINEBROWN” am a fashionista! Furthermore…As rightous and divine as I may be, I do not shop at the same places as Oprah, Halle and Beyonce. And I could be wrong, you probably don’t either. So, the stores we common folk are shopping at, do not carry that line.

Again…of all the fashion shows, magazines and red carpets, I do not recollect any mention of Tracy Reese.

Really, post some sh!t from Target or H&M or Steve & Berry!
Kymystry

@ HunE

Now you’re talkin!! I’ve only ever shopped at Target, though. What can say, I’m just not into fashion. =) I’m a tee, jeans and kicks type of girl. And the jeans and tee ain’t even fitted. LOL!

I’m in North Augusta, SC, right over the GA/SC line. Our Steve and Barry’s is closing! I just completed my X-mas shopping in there last week! Better hurry before it all goes!

@ Toi … good looking out… I’ll be hitting the Mall this weekend …

The did announce earlier in the year that the chain filed for bankruptcy protection… a case of expanding too quickly in a down economy.
Sharonda

Even Zappos got good prices and shoes for under $100.I know people who really buy these shoes be paying market price.My ex-boyfriend bought me shoes from Petit Peton in NYC and even though they were nice, but hella expensive, but thanks to price match I told him to take those things back.People just paying for the name, let alone don’t know the quality of it really.

@37, that’s true!
