Let Them Eat Cake!

I know we’re in a recession and posting about $6,295 Christian Louboutin shoes doesn’t really make sense, but sometimes you need something to inspire you and get you through a rough day, and today for me, it’s these shoes.

Louboutin has teamed up with world-renowned embroiderer Jean-Francois Lesage, to create an extremely limited edition Marie Antoinette-inspired shoe collection and it’s beyond words.  The shoes are only available in three colours—pink, yellow, and blue—and each shoe is covered with intricate lace and exquisitely embroidered flowers.  The ankle strap even features a mini-pompadour wig as a nod to the Queen herself!!  Only 36 pairs will be put into production and each pair will be stamped with a limited-edition number, a specially designed box along with a book illustrating the collaboration process.  I DIE!
