If you're anything like me (a girl) you have a squillion pairs of very expensive shoes on ice, and two pairs of Nine West jams that you hoof about in on the reg. And if you were at all excited at the prospect of potentially buying a pair of $41-on-sale sandals for spring, you HAVE TO check out the brand's 2010 spring/summer line. IT'S SOOO FUNNY. No seriously, it surpasses disappointment and Chardonnay-drunk stumbles towards entertaining. It's doing boob jiggles in white palazzo pants with gold eyeshadow and wearing about 239874328734 bangles that make such a racket! Think pastel suede, lace-up cage booties, and quasi gladiator flats with a bajillion bejeweled bra straps. I have ZERO idea who it's for since super FOBby Asian chicks who dig "magpie chic" can get this mess on the mainland for a high five. Also, today someone hipped me to this.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOW color palette
Re: the second link. Which one will she put her head in first?
If it's there, someone will buy it.
Oh dear.
What really makes this - beside the zippy Damon Runyon-style writing of course - is the Nine West ad directly to the left.
The literary pairings on the third page of bad shoes are good, though--apparently we're meant to put on these snakeskin numbers and read the poems of Robert Service ("the Bard of the Yukon") and the autobiography of Katerina Witt.
As a male, I always wondered what Nine West was for, when I walked by it at the mall. Now I know. Next, could you please tell me about Charlotte Russe?
Oh yes. Charlotte Russe has a complete range of offerings from underpinnings/lingerie to shoes. It's for precocious middle schoolers. The pricepoint is very very low, like the most expensive thing is probably a cropped peacoat for about $45. The clothes are constructed poorly and all outerwear is shopworn and seemingly covered in dandruff. There is one in the Manhattan Mall and and at affiliated Tanger Outlets. They have many three-quarter length sleeve tops, drop-waisted tiered skirts and many many tunics especially plaid. It's like a less white Delias. AND sometimes they have good buttons downs.
But all the buttons fall off. Also, yes, fuglay.
Aha. The dandruff thing is frightening. You are providing an invaluable service (for example, I will surely not give my sisters gift certificates to Charlotte Russe, never). I will try to keep these inquiries to a minimum.
Delia's! are they still in business? also, i like to think of charlotte russe as a step down from express and a step up from forever 21...
YES. AND Delias has a brick and mortar in the Walt Whitman mall in Long Island. I mean, still crap but CRAP IN PERSON.
fugly, fugly, fugly.
Please tell me you snuck (!) into the dressing room for 'A Streetwalker Easter 'stravaganza!' at Radio City, and this post is just a clever ruse?
Please.
1) 9 West ARE my expensive shoes 2)anything cute is too small for me. I'll die and go to heaven when Prada introduces size 14. Fat (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA) chance.
Are those dyed-to-match monstrosities at the bottom of page 1? Nine West, you are dead to me.
The tags for this post are the best.
Mary, hit the EBay. Huge after-market in luxury shoes. Shun the Nine West hideousness.
I know. BUT I'm pissed at the system and the good shit never goes on eBay (like i want 2006 balenciaga harness booties) and I'm not about to buy the Sam Edelman copies for $300+ F that. I will buy THE MOST generic pair of nothing shoes at Nine West and be OK with that. Everything is expensive we're all going to die. SHOELESS.
There's one pair on the Bay in a 39.5, but they're up to $899 already.
i am uglyface crying about this. BUT thank you.
