Gareth Pugh OTK Silver Scrunched Space Boots

Gareth Pugh Silver Mirror Space Age Boots

Not one to ever use the term cray-cray, I think this silver over-the-knee scrunched boot from Gareth Pugh merits the term. More of a work of art than wearable boots, these are seriously out of this world, space-age freaky! Lady Gaga of the past would certainly approve.

I think most of us would. But no, the priciest retailing shoes are not … Read more

Ugly Designer Sandals for Spring 2014 – Am I Missing Something?!

by

Top to Botton: MSGM python sandals, Marni cobalt-blue mirror sandals, Isabel Marant “Holden” slides Designer Birkenstock & Teva-like sandals: I wouldn’t categorize them as ridiculous shoes. I wouldn’t really categorize them as ugly, either. Ridiculously ugly, however? Uhm, yep, that sounds about right. I mean, I’d get it if Jeffrey Campbell or someone of the … Read more
