Nude Pumps

I am on a hot pursuit for the perfect nude heel, at a reasonable price. While I'd be happy to invest in a fabulous designer, as a nude heel will never go out of style, I am seriously rough on my shoes, even in only a few wears! I'd be heartbroken if I ruined them, as I plan to get a lot of use out of this particular heel.

My list of requirements is lengthy, to say the least.

• Closed toe
• Closed heel
• Matte finish (no patent, no suede)
• Just enough platform
• In between round and pointy toe
• Not too tan, not too ivory
• At least 3 inches

You know what I came up with? Nothing! Nada! Zilch! I searched high and low on many a website, and still was unable to replicate these beauties below. Is it really too much to ask of Steve Madden or Aldo to knock these bad boys off?! The YSL's are my absolute fave!!

The Illustrious Red Sole

Red soles have always had a correlation to high fashion, however, with the recent lawsuit Christian Louboutin filed against YSL, the sole won't be so exclusive anymore. With the internet clammored with knock-offs, is the red sole even a status symbol anymore? Blogger Garance Dore discusses how one top editor paints the soles of her Louboutin's black, in an effort to disassociate herself with one brand or another. What do you think about the stigma of the red sole?
