Madonna Rocks Chanel’s “Miami Vice” Gun shoes

Is Madge taking a shot at Guy Ritchie? She was spotted out and about in NYC recently (shortly after divorce rumors) wearing Chanel’s “Miami Vice” Gun shoes. The shoes are from the 2009 Cruise Collection and designed by Laurence Decade for Karl Lagerfeld’s House of Chanel. These sexy stilettos feature a toy gun on the bottom so you can shoot from the heel (and not from the hip). I think they should require a permit. But whether you love ‘em or hate ‘em, shop the look at Chanel.com.

Don’t Call Me Chicken Little: Sigerson Morrison Suede Ankle Boot

It’s early fall and already the stores are starting to put great things on sale. With all the news about the economy you’d think the sky was falling. If it is, I want to be in a great pair of boots. My news says that the ankle boot will stick around longer than my 401k. And damn it, I still want something fun and sexy.

These booties are just the ticket for my Wall Street Blues. Wear them with a pencil skirt, balloon skirt, a sheath dress or a skinny pant for a polished yet sexy edge. A perfectly great fit this time from Sigerson who usually cuts their shoes very narrow. A four inch heel that’s actually comfy. Order your usual size.

Not Too Crazy: Miu Miu Platform Pumps

It seems designers got together and said, “What crazy things can we slap on shoes for these crazy ladies to buy at these utterly crazy prices? How about some flying buttresses, or some gargoyles? How about some knickknacks and doodads?” And I’ve been hating all of them. I just didn’t get it.

Until I saw these Miu Miu Platform Pumps.

Now I understand. I’ve seen the light; Miu Miu’s most delicious shade of berry with a sculpted resin heel that will translate into real life. Not too high, not too pointy, not too crazy. Just lovely.

Always look sexy.

Abaete for Payless ‘Alex’ Wedge

New Year’s Party tickets - $200. Little Black Dress - $150. Designer Handbag - $300. You’ve already spent a ton of money on your New Year’s look. While Manolos and Jimmy Choo’s are your typical party shoe de jour, they may not give you (or your pocketbook) that extra stamina.

Laura Poretzky’s Abaeté collection for Payless has the answer. The “Alex” Wedge is the perfect party show – a sleek black satin sandal is paired with faux snakeskin trim and gold piping. A delicate strap gently hugs your ankle while a padded bed lets your feet rest while you dance the night away.

And you can save that extra money for cocktails and party favors.
