Ladies Shoes

Hi there, I read your blog almost every day and I thought you’d be the perfect person to ask about a pair of shoes that Solange Knowles is wearing on the attached picture. Please can you help enquire where I can get them, and any more information about them that you might have will be appreciate.

Dear Mon,
We’re just tickled that you read our blog - thanks for the kind compliments!  It really brings a smile to our faces to know that our blog posts don’t go into a black hole, never to be heard from again.
Sometimes we fail to identify a shoe (please help us figure out how to purchase Regina’s black and white pump) but this is one occassion where the shoe stood out so much during fashion week that it was easy to recognize.   This is the shoe I dub the ‘two faced shoe’.  It’s from the fall 2009 Moschino Cheap and Chic collection, which is covered in this post.

Unfortunately, I was not able to find a place to purchase the shoes online.  You might want to try one of the Moschino boutiques or wait and see if they make an appearance on Moschino’s official online store since fall styles are still coming out.
Hope this helps!

Congratulations to GiGi, comment #87 as chosen by Random.org!
We’ll be contacting you shortly to get your shoe size and mailing address so your fabulous new Taryn Rose shoes can find their new home.
 

GiGi’s entry comment on the original contest was sweet, if just this side of racy!My husband is in the NAVY…when he comes home for Christmas I think these should would be very fitting for our own, private Christmas party Our thanks to everybody who participated. Your comments and enthusiasm were wonderful to read.  I’m looking forward to our next contest (which may involve twitter or facebook).
Also, for those of you who didn’t win this time, the Fierce Disco shoe has gone on sale for $311.50 (33% off) at the Taryn Rose site since we started the contest 2 weeks ago -  which is even better than the SHOEBLOG discount code that is still in effect at the site until December 31, 2009.

Biker chic has rocked the streets for ages, on kids from punk to prom queen flirting with the wrong side of the tracks. A few seasons ago, grommets, studs, zippers and buckles started making major comebacks. Last season, leather jackets were huge, coinciding with a revival of industrial culture and rise of steampunk couture. Now, you need the shoes to match not jackets, but tiered lace and ruffle dresses, those sexy/scary bondage tape-dresses, and zipper dresses for spring. Good news is, leather biker shoes are available in spades. They’re especially cute, of course, in boots and booties, but make a hot transition into sandals for spring as well.
One warning though, is to be careful with just how much industriality and bikerism you blend into one outfit. You don’t want to look like you’ve been dressed from head to toe by Project Runway’s Stella… or maybe you do. But a little goes a long way, and shoes are the perfect place to concentrate this trend.

Here are my biker faves, starting with Steve Madden’s Ginn, on sale for $169.95:

Gucci’s Babouska shoe comes in variations of boot, sandal and flat. You can purchase the boot here for $448.
