Christian Louboutin New Very Prive 120mm in mauve patent and glitter

Another addition to the Prive collection.  I had made a promise to myself to avoid 120mm but I fell into the glitter + Very Prive trap once again. They came in two colors and I pick mauve over powder blue.  I'm hoping the one-inch platform would help make these more wearable.  Buy half to one size up.

Christian Louboutin Cross Street 120mm in gold and black patent

Another find in Madrid.  These are retro, old Hollywood glam! They are not what I was originally looking for (I wanted practical), but I couldn't part with them once I tried them on.  I love how they angle my feet, and they have great toe cleavage.  The hidden platforms seem to ease the 120mm height a little, but I will have to test them out first.  I just need a glamorous outfit to go with them! True to size.

Christian Louboutin You You 85mm in beige patent

A practical and essential pair to add to the collection.  The usual Louboutin comfort. Buy half size up.

Christian Louboutin You You 95mm in black patent

Another classic and basic Louboutin which would go with everything.  The usual sexy and comfortable Louboutin shape and cut.  A good addition to the collection.  Buy half size up. 

Christian Louboutin No Prive 100mm in black and red leather

A classic addition to add to my collection.  The soft leather and platforms make these very comfortable and easy to wear.  And they go with everything.  A good buy especially since they were on sale!  True to size.

Christian Louboutin Maryl 120mm in red patent

Another pair of red shoes for the collection. There is something very appealing to a pair of red-hot Louboutins.  Knowing they might not be as practical as I would hope for (as a mom of 3) I could not say no. I was actually really taken by surprise by how comfortable these shoes are when I tried them on.  The hidden platform design makes all the difference.  The angled heels also provide a very good balance to the shoes and they feel very very steady.  At 120mm you still can't walk around town with them all day but they are as comfortable as 120mm gets.  Buy half size up.

Rupert Sanderson Cecil 23K Gold 100mm in black

Another pair of perfect shoes from Rupert Sanderson.  Love the shape and they fit like gloves.  Love the somewhat retro but at the same time futuristic design.  Simple and elegant, I don't think I would ever get bored of them.  True to size.

Louboutin No Prive sling backs 125mm in black fishnet and cork

I had my doubts with these because I'm not really a fishnet person.  I'm glad I got them as they go with everything and the fishnet is actually quite interesting to look at.  The only thing I can pick on is the fact that the peep-toe trimming seems a bit rough and they hurt my toes after a long wear.   Buy half size up.

Louboutin No Prive sling backs 125mm in brown suede and cork

I don't think I can get tired of No Prive. I love the way the shape my feet.  And it's just amazing how 125mm can actually be wearable.  I had them on up and down the subway then stood all night for drinks one evening and my feet were fine.  They are the ultimate party shoes!   Buy half size up.

Louboutin No Prive sling backs 125mm in glitter and gold leather

These shoes are my absolute favourite.   They are the ultimate!  There isn't much more you can ask for with a pair like this.   I think we all want to feel extremely glamorous every now and again.  Buy one size up.

Marc Jacobs peep-toe pumps 95mm in pink and black leather

I love love love these shoes.  They are so delicately made with so much details it's unlike the usual Marc Jacobs creations.  I can't tell you how soft the leather is.  Usually my toes get sore easily from peep-toe shoes but never with these.  A very special find.  True to size.

Celine peep-toe pumps 90mm in navy burgundy leather

Same shoes in navy and burgundy. I could not decide which color to get so I ended up getting both.  I did not get these half size up and which they look better in the toe compartment it gets a bit pinchy if I walk for a long time.

Celine peep-toe pumps 90mm in beige and brown leather

These shoes were my best friend when I had to wear suits to work everyday.  The leather is quite stiff but they are fairly comfortable to the feet if you buy half size up.  However half-size up leads to another problem of having a bit too much room at the front.  They are not perfect at all but still I feel they are good value for the US$200 I paid.  Somewhere down the line Celine shoes got crazily expensive and I wonder what the quality is like these days?
