I have a love/ hate opinion of these Christian Louboutin shoes. They remind me of C3PO from Star Wars, however, can you imagine how they would stand out, especially if paired with simple black skinny jeans and a black top? That would be a fabulous look, and one, dare I say, I would attempt myself. The gold patent leather looks especially beautiful with the famous red sole. These shoes have a 4.5 inch heel and a .5 inch hidden platform. $1,295 at Net a Porter. *** These are a spring '09 shoe and will probably be reduced in price pretty soon.
