So Would You?

Are you tough enough to wear these?

 

Leg Avenue Shoes - Brass Knuckle Heels, $74.00  [sold by: patriciafield.com]

They are a little inspired by the original bad girl shoe, the Chanel 'Gun Heels', from the Chanel Cruise 2009 Collection.

While I feel dirty betraying the religion that is Chanel, I actually like the Brass Knuckle heels better. Not to mention that the Chanel platform carries a price tag of about $2,200 USD, making the Leg Avenue Shoes (btw, who the bleep is Leg Avenue Shoes anyway?) infinitely more accessible.

Patricia Field - Bordello Purple Fairy Dust & Glitter Platform Pumps!

As if it were even possible for me to love, love, love Patricia Field even just a molecule more, she goes and makes these shoes and proves me wrong. For those of you who don't know who the queen is, she is an American stylist, costume/fashion designer & the brains behind the styling of SATC's style icon Carrie Bradshaw. Everyone pause for a fashion genuflection.
While I realize how absurdly impractical the Wizard of Oz Emerald City green pumps are, their total crazy glitterlicious glory only makes me love them more. The green & purple are my lust right now, but I literally love every pair of them!  Would your rock these?
