Stylish with Substance

Badgley Mischka Women's Carlo Pump

$215.95 by Badgley Mischka at Endless.com

This shoe is so elegant it makes me esteem to be so much classier I must speak in a British accent. Forget that it might actually "p" people off. We all do love that sound.

This pump is to shoes what that British tongue is to accents. That. Good.

It's raw-edged fabric rosette also makes me say,

"Fray is the new tulle."

Say it, if you agree this is just as lovely as that so-feminine touch, and say it like a Brit.

Of course, this shoe looks actually more French, n'est pas?

Now I'm all over the place. Which is what Ella cannot be in heels, like this shoe obviously is. Make that my excuse, and not the $216 pricetag. Besides, I DIY. ;-)

Tibi Women's Heathcliff Ankle Wrap Sandal

$351.95$160.00 by Tibi at Endless.com

So it's hard to say if this shoe is really the ultimate-ultimate, especially of all time -- but this Tibi Heathcliff sandal sure has some "statement" in oversized bow and tie details. And it's pure girly glee in chic-ness.

Enjoy this high-high heel in photo or to shop at endless.com.

Omelle Danika Ribbon Sandals

$895.00 at shopbop.com

Wowness. a mixture of sandal and bootie that's actually breathtaking (not nauseating).

Blush and black tones and another mixture, this time with no-nonsense and sweet also help make this shoe uniquely fantastic.

Top it off with a stiletto silhouette and you're panting for sure.

Jean Paul Gaultier GA1091AC0O F30

$1,074.00$516.00 by Jean Paul Gaultier at Zappos Couture

Pearls ga-lore in this luxe designer pump with plush velvet fabric upper. Ga-ga! My favorite part is the drop chain with pearl end. Sighh.

A new aspect of the blog is that I will now pose other questions for you to ponder in the comments.

My question here is, what else would you like to see done up in pearls or if you’re into design/indie, what could be made from such inspirations? — Catch ya peekin’ shoe porn lata’ - Ella.
