Yo Mama

La Falaise by Louboutin Summer 2008

La Falaise white patent sandal by Louboutin

The best elements of Summer Chic in one shoe.
White patent–and Louboutin’s signature cork detailing–fashioned into a simple ankle-strapped sandal. Not too much, not to little. Perfection.

Call Eddie Curtis at Bergdorf Goodman 212. 753-7300 and beg.
They retailed for $815 and came in black patent, silver patent, and gold patent varieties as well.

Mauve Mood

Gucci Fulham with braided handle in mauve for Spring 08

Interesting variation on Gucci’s popular Fulham model–patent leather in a grey/mauve colour that could almost be a neutral. I say almost because with the lighting these in-store alcoves are fitted with, it’s hard to really tell what hue is going to project in the light of day. Remind me of this when I’m buying that twelfth tube of red lipstick. What you see is often NOT what you get.

Hardware detail on the Gucci Fulham in mauve for spring 08

A nice touch is the versatile not too silver-not too gold hardware. It’s very ‘is it or isn’t it’ which makes the bag go a few extra miles in that arena also.

Having said that, I’d recommend that if you do opt to shell out the $1800 for this season’s Gucci–do it someplace that will give your money back to you (as opposed to the Boutiques that often take a ‘you-bought-it-three-minutes-ago—now-it’s-yours-sorry’ attitude). Just a thought in case that mauve mood is moodier in the light of day.
