I Love These!

These "Super Suspenders" from Henry Holland By Pretty Polly are an amazing ~~feet~~ feat of trompe l'oeil!

The faux garters or mock suspenders are created using a thicker more opaque band of tights over a fine sheer upper panel at the top of the thigh, fooling the eye into seeing an actual garter!

Now I know die-hards like Slip of a Girl probably won't give up their real stockings, garter belts, garters dangling from their girdles, etc.; but for girls like me who have jobs which require a bit more stable and presentable hose for wearing on the library floor, these are awesome.

I'm in love *swoon* Can you hear my heart go pitter-pat? I'm buying buckets of these for fall. Practical and sexy!

Theatrical Shoes, Made To Order

Most intriguing old shoe ad... I love how it depicts a corset too, saying "made to order and anything of leather normal, bizarre, unusual and theatrical styles." Positively yummy for the fetishist that I am *wink*

OMG, It's The Hannibal Lecter Shoe!

Rebel Without A Shoe

I know fall is here -- as far as shopping goes, anyway. But I'm just not ready for the motorcycle boot. And it's not a seasonal dislike; I'm just too girlie. What's the shoe for the shy girlie rebel? I know one thing: it will have a fabulous heel!

More Experimental Shoes

Experimental shoe posts inspired by me: shoes for satyrs and Miao pussy cats.

Very Experimental Shoes Are Verr-dy Interesting

I love shoe designer Atalanta Weller, especially those which are more concept than for consumer consumption; Susie Bubble got inside the designers studio -- color me green with envy!

Fancy Shoes & Fantasy Hosiery Fantasies

Foot and leg wear from Paris Fashion Week (2011 collections).

"A pale turquoise shade, if you will."

A fascinating history of the color of these Emilio Pucci high-heel sandals.

Leave Me Hanging; I Now Crave It

I can't tell you all the details here, but I'm currently erotically engaged with a man who leaves me hanging -- in that terrible teasing sort of a way which makes me want so badly... *ahem* Anyway, Nine West's Hanger -- a black satin slipper of a sandal with delicate chains which dangle from the ankle strap -- seems to exhibit everything I'm feeling.

Is it love? Maybe not. Probably not. But it is one heck of a sexy ride.

And who can't use more of that?

The Nine West sandal is on sale for a ridiculous $29.99 -- so grab a pair! (Sale found via my sales alert email from Shop It To Me.)

The Only Way I'd Cut-Out Leather

I eat meat, I wear leather, I make no apologies. So the only way I'll cut-out leather is with design details, such at those on the Miu Miu black patent leather cutout platform slingbacks.

I Hate It When This Happens

Via Trailer Trash Angel (NWS, don't go if not an adult and open minded), I found this absolutely adorable miniature feathered slipper keyring and lippie set from Boots.

I'm hopelessly in love, but, as this was posted in 2005, it's no longer available. *sad sigh* If anyone anywhere has one, please-O-please let me know!

Grape Makes Me Whine

Yummy vintage purple satin peekaboo high heels shoes from the 40's.

Take That, Dorothy

These cherry red satin vintge Spring-o-lators are straight out of the 50's -- and they make Dorothy's ruby red slippers look like kids' stuff.

By Herbert Levine, from Joseph Magnin, these beauties have alternating stripes of the deepest ruby red rhinestones and clear rhinestones on red satin spike heels!

Halston, You Had Me At "Fuchsia"

Halston's fuchsia suede peep-toe calf-length boots were made for a foot fetishist -- just look at the buckles above the open ankle! On sale -- 65% off! (Sale found via Shop It To Me -- have I mentioned how great the sale alerts are? ...Addictive too!)
