Guess the Shoe Designer

June 13, 2008 by WendyB

Thanks to everyone who came to the trunk show yesterday. Congratulations to Abby, who won the diamond and gold Lotus necklace in the drawing!

Check out the hot shoes that gorgeous client Kathy was wearing.


Anyone able to guess where she got these shoes? Leave your guess in the comments. There’s no jewelry prize for being right, just the thrill of victory.

Here’s a full-length photo of gorgeous clients Kathy and Melissa. Melissa is wearing her Matilda and Juana necklaces with her Diana and Clemence rings. Kathy is wearing a silver Diana ring.

UPDATED TO ADD: I will torture you no longer. Kathy got those divine shoes (which could easily pass for something by Marc or Stella) from a porn shop in Newark, N.J. She informed me that that is the first pair of shoes she ever bought there that could be worn while standing upright.

    no guesses, they look familiar enough with the unique heel, but I can’t put a name on it

    They look like vintage Dr. Scholls or Candies from the 70’s.

    I know they aren’t from the Marc Jacobs line.

    They could be United Nude but I thought they only did metal versions.

    I found a 1940’s pair by Stefano Marazzini on ebay a while back –

    A drawing for that lovely necklace??? This seems like a major opportunity for a cat fight to break out…

    The shoes look similar to a pair my husband bought me in Kauai…

    Dang, I forgot to enter that drawing! 😉

    The shoes are fantastic, but not more than the joke Kathy made about them!

    They are so cute! I definitely think there are good shoes to be found at places like that…sometimes searching for ‘stripper shoes’ on ebay yields good results.

    I *love* her shoes. I never would have guessed they were stripper shoes.
