One, Two Step.

Rihanna may be struggling with some tragic personal issues right about now and has certainly seen sunnier days, but the always-stylish songbird braved the paparazzi and stepped out in these fiercely fashionable Maison Martin Margiela patent D'orsay knee boots.





Not a bad distraction.

Barneys New York sells them for a cool $1,245.

Style Inspiration

If I were still fashion-starved and living in Texas, I am pretty sure Jane Aldridge (teenage style maven and blogger of Sea of Shoes) and I would be friends.



I mean, we're both obsessed with Margiela's sandal boots, after all.

Celebrity Style

Have I, or have I not been totally sweating these adorable Maison Martin Margiela ankle bootie sandals that Rachel Bilson is now rocking?

It's been a few months since I first lusted after them, and the feeling hasn't faded.
I think it's about time I just splurge and get them once and for all...

eLuxury eLation!

eLuxury just put my beloved Martin Margiela bootie/sandal obsessions on sale for $385. (yes, I've been scouring the web all of this time waiting for them to drop down.)



They're the canvas version--not the leather, but I'm thinking I might prefer that anyway, not that the weather's balmy and summer is officially here (well, almost.) they only have a few pairs left, and in my size, so I think it's a sign.

Do I do it, do I do it....I think I do.

Shoe Fetish

Anyone who knows me, knows that I have a bit of a MAJOR obsession with nude-colored shoes. Flats, heels, sandals, you name it. I can't get enough of the subtly sexy appeal of leg-lengthening flesh tone footwear.

I saw these fierce Martin Margiela Open-Toe Sandal Booties over the weekend, and couldn't help but pick up the pair to admire, and thought to myself: 'Oh! It's like a haute hybrid of 3 different shoes in one...all drenched in supple Italian leather with the most divine covered wedge heel....'

Drool.
