Celebrity Shoe Closets

Good morning! Is it already Monday again?? Well hopefully this post will be a little pick me up.

I LOVE me a good shoe closet ladies. Isn't it funny how that's actually a thing now? A closet specifically for shoes? Celebrities have made having one feel almost normal. I said almost.

The closets seem to keep getting more and more extravagant and I'd bet the pressure to outdo the other girls is intense! It's like a celebrity home staple now. I think it just proves that the relationship between a woman and her shoes is a powerful one. There's something truly special about just the right pair, or for these ladies and myself, the right hundred or so pairs ;)

Here's a roundup of some pretty awesome shoe closets...

Maybe the original? Joan Crawford

The QUEEN of shoes, Imelda Marcos has an entire shoe museum!

My dear friend, Adrienne Maloof. (the photo doesn't do her collection justice)

Christina Aguilera

Coco

Khloe Kardashian

Mariah Carey

Miley Cyrus

Nicky Hilton

Paula Abdul

Jessica Alba

Kimora Lee

Even the guys are into it!

As for non celebrities, here are my past shoe closets...

This was back in 2004 when I was singe and had a condo with a ridiculous 300sq ft shoe closet all to myself. This started my obsession with shoe storage and I'm afraid I'll never be the same again.

And this is my old house. We didn't have a ton of extra room so we converted out office into an office/shoe room.

And later still, and still in the works- here's a little peek at my current shoe closet in my new apartment. Single again with just my shoes to keep me warm. ;) I kid. I have to make light of my pain... don't judge.

Who's closet is your favorite??

XOX,

Shoe Regrets...

Do you guys ever have shoe regret? I don't mean shoe remorse where you buy a pair and then you're like, why the eff did I buy that effing shoe? I mean when you see an amazing shoe and you don't buy it for one reason or another and then it sells out and you're like, why the eff didn't I buy that effing shoe?

Well kids, yesterday I scored a major victory against shoe regret. I purchased one of the shoes on my list! Yes, I have a list. Wanna see it? Well here's the abridged version ;)

The sweetest shoe I've ever seen? Probably. Luella by Georgina Goodman Spring Summer 2009

So rad. Dior creepers, Fall Winter 2004

Such a perfectly beautiful wedge. The green is perfect. Paule Ka, 2010

Sold out everywhere, these perfect fringe boots by Isabel Marant, Fall 2011

Some of the most amazing shoes I've ever seen, these Balenciaga Fall 2010 shoes were WAY out of my price rage. At over $2500 I regret not having them, but I can't say I regret not buying them ;)

And I know that Jeffrey Campbell knocked these right off but I still wait for the original to pop up on ebay in my size, the Chloe "doc martin" ankle boot. Love.

Finally, the super popular, often imitated but never duplicated (until now!!) Chloe studded flat boot. Fall 2008, Fall 2011

That's right! The Chloe Susan boot has been reissued! I picked them up today from the South Coast Plaza Chloe store. The LA store had a waitlist and is selling out fast! If you too have these shoes on your regret list, go go go!!! They are also available in red if you're daring enough...

I'm so excited!!

XOX,

Trendspotting- Peek-a-boo Shoes!

If your feet have been craving a peep show they're in luck. If the Spring runways shows are any indication of what's to come (imagine that) then vinyl shoes are all the rage!

Dolce & Gabana's shoes were almost exclusively see through...

These were my favorite and seemed to be the most forgiving for those with less than pretty toes...

They're equipped with little toe shields!

Macrame AND vinyl AND a woven heel/platform?? That's a whole lot of shit gong on. Imagine how foggy they'd get after a quick jog a-la Carrie Bradshaw. I always loved how she ran in her Manolos.
Anyway! I digress...
