SHOES FOR SALE. EEOW!

While my goal is to acquire ALL of the sexy ass shoes I come in contact with.....I have to eventually let some go some if I don't wear them.  Below are some DOPE shoes that I have either bought more than a year ago and never worn or that I just haven't worn in more than a year. I even have some shoes that are NO WHERE near in my size that I bought because they didnt have them in my size and I STILL had to have them.  Sumbuddy needs counseling!.  ***sadface***  I figured that someone should love them up if I have come to the sad conclusion that I have no space for them anymore. So I'm just gonna put them up for sale here.  Below each pic is descriptive information and the price.  Shipping across the U.S. is $8.95 for all shoes.  No shipping abroad unfortunately.
If interested, just shoot me an email with the below listed name of the shoe and price:
kculp80@gmail.com
If this works out I got waaaaaaaay more where these came from.
Also, if you feel more comfortable purchasing them via ebay, I'll list them just. for. you via a fixed price sale. But the whoever pays first rule will still apply!......If you message me on Ebay, my name is culp424.  Keep in mind though when purchsed through this here blog, every shoe listed here is $4.00 cheaper than the prices listed below.  I will be updating this post daily until I have a good amount of shoes listed.

 MICHAEL ANTONIO -SIZE 7 - $36
Michael Antonio

 This is a pair of new and in the box Michael Antonio Platform Sandals in a size 7.  The opening at the top is 9" around, the sleek heel is 5 1/2" high, and the platform is 1 1/2" in the front.  The zipper is very well made as it is reinforced with a cover on the back of it to prevent the top of your foot from getting caught in it.  Again, very well made for Michael Antonio. They are a 100% manmade material but they were made very durable.  The top is a black patent material that matches the heel which is carved into a square shape.  The snake print covers the front and platform of the shoe.  Very soft to the touch and a tad narrow for my wide feets.





 Fahrenheit Mila-05 - SIZE 6 1/2 - $35
 Fahrenheit Mila-05

 This is a pair of new in the box comfy yet sky High wedges in a size 6 1/2.  The heels are 5" high, but to compensate the platforms are a little under 2" making these some comfortable pieces of art. The opening around the tops is 11" around when zipped up. Oh, there is  discreet/matching black zipper up the backs of the shoes. I am a true size 7 and these fit just right even though these are a size 6 1/2. They run a 1/2 size large.  The geometric zig-zag print heel is made out of a wicker material and the upper is a canvas fabric.  The soles are felt and there is a piece of rubber on the bottom of the heels for traction.  The felt makes them slippery on hardwood/linoleum surfaces.




DOLLHOUSE PITONE FLAT - $27
 Dollhouse Pitone Flat

  This is a pair of NIB Dollhouse oxfords in size 7.  They are made of a synthetic fabric with a convincing snake print.  They have a 1/2" lift on the heel and the soles are made of rubber with a paisley design scored into it for gripping.  They also have laces on the top.  Very on trend yet classic enough to go with almost everything.




 DANIBLACK PERFORATED SLOUCH BOOTS - 45$
Daniblack Perforated Boots

  This is a pair of stylish new and in the box Daniblack boots in Espresso. With a 3" heel and NO platform they give a little lift to the shorties like me. They also have this micro perforation that adds a little mystery if you were to wear them with no stockings. I bought these in two sizes. Size 7 and 7 1/2 to get a feel for the fit and am selling the size 7.  I am usually a wide size 7 though who fits her tootsies in Med. width shoes.....Oh. also I kind of have legs on the bigger side so the boots stay up over the knee.  I decided to let the 7M go and keep the 7 1/2 so I could wear thick tights under them.  This 7M would actually fit perfectly either a 6 12/2 lady who wanted space to wear tights in the winter or the size 7 woman with thick calves who wants to wear wonder woman style in the spring/summer...or anyone who would want to wear them slouched.  They are made of a versatile thin suede and the top of the shaft is cut into a funky asymmetrical wonderwoman shape.


 CHINESE LAUNDRY SAN MIGUEL POLKA DOT WEDGES - $27
Chinese Laundry

This is NEW/never worn pair of 4 1/2" wedges made by Chinese Laundry.  They have a 1" platform in the front to ease the incline some.  The wedge is covered in an over-sized polka-dot fabric.  The straps are made of a faux-patent leather material.  The heel has a uniquely thin shaped high wedge at the back.  The bottoms are a light brown scored rubber for great traction.  Very feminine and unique.

Witchy shoes.

What a new year!....New babies are all around but its my first year with no grandmas :-(.....But thank God I have another chance to turn a year older. Eventhough, every day I wake up is another chance.

ANYWHO

I said I was going to talk about the Frankenstein shoe phenomenon, but I think we are all familiar. And I will if the feeling hits.  I just want to know when its going to go away.  I'm just not happy with that situation.....unless the platform involves a wedge and then I'm willing to make an exception. lets talk about the witchy shoe phenomenon that I'm loving right now!  I remember about 6 or 8 years ago when pointy shoes were what everybody was wearing.  Then they got dissed by round toe shoes and I thought: "D'ere is a God!"  My wide feets were massively thankful. Then wedges of all kind came in and havent left.  I knew round toe shoes couldnt stay forever.  So here I go again, having to guess my size, buy two different sizes, buy a 1/2 size larger all because pointy ass, witchy ass shoes are back.  But at least this time they're not as pointy and diffent shapes of stilettos and wedges and platforms have been added. I'm digging them.  Though I have wide feet that are small.  I hope the Shoniverse sends me a shoe line that caters to my feet. Usually shoes that come in wide sizes are not the prettiest. 

ANYWHO, again last year it was lace shoes that I stalked, this year it will be the pointy toed witchy shoes. Here are a few that I'm stalking currently:

Happy Holidays Yall.

Just in the crib enjoying a much needed day off of work. I am constantly reminded of how much of a blessing it is to have a job to go to from people I know. These are folk who've had either their unemployment run out with no job prospects or just plain out dont have the connections to find a job in this market.  But dam if this job isnt an ass kicker! One day soon I will be getting paid well for doing something I love.

In the mean time since I have time off from work, I have the time to shoe stalk, blog about it.  Going to see Django! in a couple, so let's make this quick.  Today's topic is vegan shoes again. So if vegan means no living beings were hurt during the production of a product.....My feet have been supporting 'vegan' shoes all my life.  Eventhough, I think to be truly vegan is almost impossible.  For example, because I'm not the most vigilant pescatarian, I had some jalapeno mac n cheese that was out of this world....I especially liked the smoky flavor. But anybody who knows me, KNOWS I don't eat swine, pork, pig, hog, bacon.  Well this one slipped by me because I wasnt there during the production of said mac n cheese. And it was in an environment where it would have been rude to ask the ingredients since it was all I could eat on the menu anyway besides the rolls. My point is that there is no way to prove that no living beings weren't hurt during the production of a pair of shoes if you weren't a part of production or there when they were made.

After a quick google, Ive found ladies out there who are extreme shoe fans  as I am but who are also dedicated vegans who have THROWN AWAY good leather, snake skin, nubuck, patent, suede shoes because of their Veganism.  I am inspired by their dedication to their beliefs but DEFINITELY not encouraged. My momma taught me to not THROW AWAY good leather shoes.  Now I wouldn't be against giving away(if needed) a good pair of shoes, but you wouldn't catch me putting them in the trash...and I guess giving away something leather would defeat the whole purpose of veganism though.  Anywho, here are some great shoes that have absolutely nothing to do with leather....but still great quality:

Leave it to me......

I am a true believer of off-season shoe shopping. Not only are you able to experience shoes that you wouldn't have in-season, you get to know a shoe for what it REALLY is. For example, Cri de Couer is an indie-ish shoe line that I had admired from afar. I did wanna see what the $$$ fuss was about. After going through their shoes, they seemed to be right up my alley. They offered shoe art with a vegan approach. I'm not consciously trying to make my feet go vegan, but it couldn't hurt...I guess. I definitely don't have a desire to go vegan but if there are quality vegan shoes that come in cute/artsy fartsy styles, I need to know and experience them. Besides, I love "indie" shoe lines.  A vegan shoe should not only mean a meatless shoe, it should also mean a stylish piece of art that makes your stomach get butterflies because of the quality and fit.  Vegan could be synonymous with stylish, classic, pieces of art that are good for the earth. That's what I thought when I kept seeing Cri de Couer around the internets......so I bought a pair. DUH, off season of course! I had been admiring the below from afar for a while:

Cri de Coeur Lorena Wrap Sandal

Simply, I wasnt happy with the quality of 'Lorena'. I've had some good "vegan" shoes before that don't necessarily tout the name "vegan"....but all the same no animals were needed to make the shoe.  In fact Volatile (Very Volatile) makes some WELL made synthetic fabric shoes. The fabric used to make 'Lorena' were was very thin and didnt resemble genuine suede as it was intended. They do make some funky/stylish shoes though. Here are some more:

When You Dont See Something You Love.......

GO to the sale section.  I bet you thought that sentence was going to end in a deep revelation that was a  soliloquied commentary about love. Naw, not this week, this month, this year, this decade or just not right now. I'm hating on love unless it involves loving on some shoes. Been engaging in shoe therapy lately. But also I have been keeping my commitment to the 1 year rule.  If 12 months go by and I havent worn them......THEY'RE OUTTA here, no more square footage! But the only thing is the shoes that I've been replacing the "outta there" shoes with are shoes that I absolutely have no place to wear. But they are pieces of art like Gaugin. But anywho, in celebration of deep shoe sale season, here it go!:

How YOU doin?

No really, How the heck are ya?   Its been a long time...haven't really written much in a long time. I've been seriously slacking on my shoe stalking hustle.  I have s l o w l y but surely been rediscovering another passion of mine.....Photography!  Well, I finally dove in and got a camera.  Well, guess what folx, I'm not eighteen anymore and most people don't use film anymore...and Kodak is OUTTA there. While I don't have as much free time now, I'm discovering that I still love it.  And considering my new camera runs nothing like my oldie but goodie camera, I'm having a ball.  No more late nights developing film.  No more negatives.....no more FILM.    No more hoping and praying that your shots came out as desired or even at all.  Its definitely a new challenge and big change for me. I'm usually resistant to change...us Tauruses dont like it. But we'll change if absolutely necessary.

But anywho. On to some good ole fashioned shoe stalkin':

My computer is down

I got hit with the blue screen and I just want my bookmarks back. Three years worth of memories, shoes, accessories, travel blogs, music blogs. Without my links, I feel disconnected. 2011-09-21_01-35-18_151.jpg And here are the last pics of my summer long salvation army end table experiment. I mismatched them and painted the other one. Still working on that one. Not really crazy about it yet. But this one, I love. After the infinite scratches and shellac were sanded off, it now looks like an antique...worn to perfection. The curtains/hooks are courtesy of target's clearance shower and bath department 2011-09-17_18-43-27_414.jpg 2011-09-17_18-42-29_494.jpg Here it is before: 055 And lastly, winter boots/summer dress mix. Ill post my winter favorites when I get an operating computer again. These boots are Very Volatile from last year(shoot, the year before the year before even). They look dam good with the summer dress though...that happens to be Jessica Simpson. CoughSALEcough. Her dresses are my new favorite. These badboys fit perfectly and the quality(I.e. the lining throughout and textured fabric) I would throw on a sweater to make me seasonally relevant. Or with this pleather jacket.: DSCN1374 2011-09-21_14-59-32_127.jpg 2011-09-21_15-12-36_359.jpg Here's the boot: 41u0tTsTccL._SS440_.jpg
