Pleaser USA Amour 3

Just compare them with these pictures of authentic 1960s marabou feather bedroom heels which I found on the internet:

These reminded of a scene in the movie “Down With Love” where Barbara Novak (played by Renee Zellweger) is singing in her apartment in her nightgown and wearing these heels. I found a still – the movie was also set in the 60s by the way:

The Pleaser USA Amour 3 heels would be fun to wear to bed, but I don’t think I’d be able to wear them outside of the house. Would you?

If I really had to wear feathered shoes to go out, I’d go for these from Martinez Valero instead:

Martinez Valero Carla Heel in Green Satin, $174.99

Martinez Valero Carla Heel in Black Satin, $157.49

Taylor Swift looking fabulous at the 2010 People’s Choice Awards

So far, Taylor Swift has been picking the right wardrobe choices, never failing to look fabulous wherever she goes. She has yet to do a fashion faux pax. Although I do hope that won’t happen.

Taylor attended the 2010 People’s Choice Awards last January 6, unescorted, but looking quite fabulous in a Jenny Packham dress (as seen on picture) paired with some oh-so-exquisite metallic peep-toe Louboutins.

The whole look is so in-harmony, I can’t find any fault in it.

Peep-toe pumps go all the way back to the 40’s, it comes in many variations but the one Taylor wore to the PCA is of a classic design, with just the right sole thickness (not too thick like platforms, not too thin either), in a light metallic shade that spells glamour.

Christian Louboutin shoes are priced a little steep, with the lowest starting at US$600. So if you are on a budget, don’t fret. Since this is a classic design, looking for a cost friendly alternative is easy. I was able to come across a few brands that offer similar styles as the Louboutins on Taylor, here they are:

Badgley & Mischka Elia Pump, US$180

Martinez Valero Orli Pump, US$164

Both the Badgley Mischka Elia Pump and the Martinez Valero Orli Pump are dressier options that are perfect for formal red carpet events since these two are covered in satin. For less formal occasions, you can opt for the ones in leather, such as the Calvin Klein Cora Pump or the Jessica Simpson Josette Pump.

Jessica Simpson Josette Pump, US$63
