We can’t overlook some of the great looks the designers are showing for spring men. We have seen some awesome shoes from  Prada, Gucci and John Varvatos for spring hit the retail shelves.  The Looks are comfort elegance with some classic twists of construction like this woven leather tennis shoe from Converse by John Varvatos.

The Parda bow soft nappa flat ballet skimmer and the YSL tortoise patent peep toe sling are just some of the great shoes that are about comfort as well as fashion this spring.  The colors are awesome and bound to brighten every wardrobe.

Some of the best shoes of the season are waiting for those of you who want fashion and comfort. The little flat from Balenciaga with that beautiful leather they are famous for and the cute hardware trim that matches the bags is gorgeous.

 Variety of color and material are the watch words for spring. There is nothing like a new pair of beautiful shoes to get you past the winter doldrums. Enjoy-shoes   www.designershoesblog.com  Bill Dowling

These are some great new looks from the Paris to you.  The materials are special and the looks are elegant. The Balenciaga Suede and stingray ankle strap wedge in black is a winner. We love the fishskin lined snake and patent pump from Manolo Blahnik as well.

If that dress is to die for we should notice that and not wonder who the put the socks on the rooster.  Some of you like the heavy closed up look for the foot but we believe it detracts from the energy of the new looks in Designer clothing.   Runway maybe everyday no way. We like the looks from Manolo Blahnik, Yves St. Laurent and others Compare the looks below.

Though the spring clothing is bright and patterned your colored accessories don’t always work with the subtle color shades and the use of different materials that bring out stark differences .. We have found that there are many looks this season that use nude as the foundation for fresh look that doesn’t overpower your clothing.

So we hope the great weather continues.  We have that perfect look that brings about a change in attitude with the change in weather.  Enjoy-Shoes www.designershoesblog.com    Bill Dowling

Christian Louboutin wrote this letter to Barry Kalinsky earlier this week in remembrance of his father Morris Kalinsky. 

My Dear Barry,

“I have, just like everyone who has been lucky enough to cross the path of your dad, been always, a great admirer of your father.  His enthusiasm, his love of life and of people was a wonderful thing to see, he was a great character, a nice kind gentleman.  He will always stay in my mind as a father you wish to have if you need affection, and guidance in the world of passion.  You have been so lucky to have had him as a dad that wherever he is flying now, you can be sure, he is happy to have had such a loving family.  He will stay forever in our heart, this is what counts.  I think of you, and your mum.” 

Truly yours,

Christian Louboutin
