This illustrated editorial 'Les Pas Perdus' by Ancher from the latest April issue of Numero is making me re-think my self-imposed ban of spindly heels (namely because I can't walk in them for shit....), and somehow, the shoes are made even more enticing by the illustration style. One of each please... one of each...

A Google map that lists my fave shopping spots in London... by no means comprehensive...just putting that out there!
It's back to ol' YouTube vids then... I actually prefer the Rusty Egan remix of this track to the original but this will do... the video is a lot of fun...
I love that, illustrations hold a special place in my heart and illustrations of 'It' shoes?! Gimme Gimme! Just one pair will make me a very happy girl indeed... (:

mmmmmmmmmmm yummy shoes :)

What a great way to get second and third looks. The shoes are fab, but this is so much better than photos.

May be... just may be...
MMMMMMM... no! They may be gorgeous, delicious, and positively glorious, but that broken ankle city for me!!

those shiny shiny gucci shoes give me a heart thump every time (although its really the so-bad-its-good pink ones that i am superlusting for)

I love fashion illustration, and these are particularly gorgeous! The red ones worn with leggings in the middle are my favorite.
Posted by: Chic and Charming | 09 April 2008 at 13:27
The white ones are divine!

is it sad that i can recognise almost each shoe and its designer?
Posted by: deexdeexdreamer | 09 April 2008 at 14:14
I think you could really rock those Miu Miu tea-cup heels. I think they're adorable.
Posted by: Laia | 09 April 2008 at 15:00
these look fabulous! i could almost like the peeptoe boots shown here.

Enticing, but ONLY if you're somewhere where you spend all your time sitting down. But they'd be perfect to just put in a glass box (or maybe a pretty, open-faced cake box), peg up on a wall, and admire.

gorGEOUSSSS!!! i couldn't walk in spindly heels either but after hard months of training...
Posted by: Cate | 09 April 2008 at 15:47
Oh, beautiful! I know what you mean about them being more enticing in illustration form: the tea cup shoes look incredible! I've been tempted, but the illustration just makes me want them more. I'd be perfectly happy with the watercolor on my wall, though!

ou i really love these illustrations!

I got the red tea cups but I'm tempted by the pink versions too (they have different straps so that's enough of a justification to get them both, right?).
The illustrations of those and the prada spats make me want them more!
Ugh!

Lovely.
Posted by: WendyB | 09 April 2008 at 19:34
those are indeed delightful... but i must say walking in them is one challenge, but keeping the heel caps in tact is a far more difficult challenge...
Posted by: lady coveted | 09 April 2008 at 20:28
now hobbled, i am over heels, consuming and wearing, but never over admiring them.
drawings are the most harmless version of all - there are no victims.

Ahh lovely lovely shoes! I don't know where to begin! They certainly make my measly collection look even more measly. I only have boots and I am really lacking any spring shoes at the moment.
Posted by: Sabrina | 09 April 2008 at 21:30
Im loving the bright yellow shoes. I am having the same problem - I cant walk in high heels at all but cant stop buying them!!
Posted by: Natty | 09 April 2008 at 23:02
I love spindly shoes!
Or just shoes in general. Ahh!
Posted by: Shen-Shen | 10 April 2008 at 01:36
I love these drawings.

beautiful...thanks for sharing.

I can't even walk in tall thick heels, let alone tall spindly ones, but sighhhh...so gorgeous...

Which designer makes the purple cutout shoes (top left corner worn with the red tights)???
