Patent still IN this Fall!!
Whoever thought that patent leather was slowly fading away is so so wrong. This will be the 2nd winter we will be walking in patent leathers. So yes, don't throw them out just yet and in fact there are new designs out to add to our shiny collection. Patent leather this year will come in the fall/winter 2007 colors aside from the usual B&W, such as chilli pepper and carafe. In fact, I saw some already in chilli pepper. I'll write about it, once I can get some pictures. But here's one patent that I like. It's a Christian Louboutin Patent Leather Zip in French Bootie. I like this French Boot design but haven't found a nice way to wear it. Would appreciate some advice :)
I would wear this during the fall but not the winter though. Actually I've never worn anything with heels less than 2" wide and higher than 1" high in the winter but I've seen some people wearing 3"-4" heels and strutting confidently in them. I wish I could do the same, but I'm not willing to risk a broken ankle or knee.. hehe..
