For reasons inexplicable to myself, I am possessed by the idea of pink patent shoes. What's come over me, I don't know. Not that pink patent shoes would be the worst fate to ever befall a gal, certainly, but I really don't know where this sudden craving springs from.
I've heard a lot of people say they "hate" pink. I don't get that. Phooey on you, pink-dissers! To my mind, wearing pink with impunity is one of the great perks of being a girl. Guys still have the whole "masculinity" issue when they wear pink, but we females can don this cheery color whenever we like and no one will think twice. And it is cheery. And fun and often very sexy. I'll grant you that pink done wrong can sometimes be a bit twee or saccharine, but done right it's just great.
These are cute. Not exactly what I'm thinking, but still -- cute.
That Stewie Weitzman, he makes the best shoes. Here in the famous Weitzman "Quasar" patent, which I'm crazy about. I also dig the gold heel.
A coral-y pink. Very pretty, and that sandal would come in awfully handy because you could wear it dressy or you could wear it for everyday, say with a nice wrap dress to the office. But I think I want a pinker pink.
These are remarkable shoes. Follow the link to the website so you can look at the zoom photos -- they're pretty amazingly detailed. But I think I want something a little more straightforward.
I'm very taken with these. The pink is a bit muted and not quite so childish, but still soft & very girlie. These win the prize for color, definitely. And at 150 bucks, they may wind up taking the sweepstakes. Really good.
When I saw these my heart began to race and I almost hyperventilated, because that right there is an HG shoe for me. These are a pink, single-strap version of the double-strap mary janes I own in robin's egg blue and black. I adore these shoes beyond reason, I wear them more than I even thought I would when I bought them, and if the day ever comes when I cannot wear them anymore I will mourn like I would for a lost relative. I wish I had bought more of them. Words cannot express the sorrow with which I inform you they are not available in my size. If, by some miracle, you wear an 8.5, do yourself a favor and buy these shoes immediately. You will never be sorry.
Oooh. Now we're talkin'. Those are great -- really perfect shape that will never go out of style. And very reasonable. Although a touch too fuchsia, still.
Okay, it's not often you hear Style Spy say the words, "too much," but these?
Are too damn much pink. Ouch. Don't look at them too long, you'll get a headache.
Well, obviously I have some pondering to do. What do y'all think? Let me know if you find any pink patent shoes you think I (or you) can't live without.

Oh Pink, how I love thee. Those Miu Miu shoes are spectacular - but I think I coveted almost every pair you displayed, yes even the over the top ones - too much pink is never enough!
cybill, I like your attitude!
I like pink in a conceptual way. I think I have too much pink in my skin. Often, when I wear any pink I end up looking like an older and more tired version of Molly Ringwald in the movie that explores the prettiness of the colour d'jour.
I do like the Maxstudio slings. I will probably get them in black.
Well, as a woman who grabbed the last pair of pink patent peeptoes in the store last weekend, I think I can safely say that it's going to be a trend this summer. Pink patent everywhere...
Will look forward to a report on the shoes, Bellette.
S-- I'm going to walk around all day today saying, "Pink patent peeptoes!" under my breath. Something about that phrase just makes me happy.
I tried these Nine Wests on the other day:

Love them! I can't wear pink near my face because I'm too pink myself, but on my feet? cute.
Laura -- Oo! Those are great! I don't usually go for slides, but those come up high enough on the foot to do away with the dreaded flipflop sound effect.
I saw a pair of pink patent pumps in an ombre (light a toe, dark at heel) that were beautiful at DSW a couple of weeks back. Sadly, they and my feet didn't agree.
I've been having a hard time getting these out of my mind since I saw them on the Manolo shoeblog the other day:

OMG, have you seen these?

I don't know the brand, but they look amazing.
Jen's link wasn't complete, but if you go to bakersshoes.com, look for Zoe (pink platform peeptoe in ombre!) or Beth (peeptoe with double crisscross straps). Both on sale. If only I could wear a 4-1/2i heel....
Excellent workk , all. And Plumcake, you know those Pradas are going to haunt. My. Dreams. Oooooooohmygod.
Pink patent shoes had never even crossed my want-radar until I read your post. But now, five minutes later, I need to have some! For work, you understand - to improve my productivity. Good work, style spy!

J. Renee Masela in what they call a purple lilac tonal...
whimper...
Spy YOU need the suede pr. and will kick your self for not getting them. BUT yellow in patent you do need ! I am the pink hater( well not really it is all about shades of pink) and wearing far too much of it reminds me a lot of a Paris ...Hilton I mean.All right, I do like my pink with black and made by Chanel ,it is in my DNA? Tall redheads are not subjected to the same looks when they are petite and blond wearing pink! Odd since peach is the colour that looks great on me. Sorry you could not get your size in the shoes you really wanted I agreed and would not give up the search...K
5 minutes ago, the thought of pink patent leather shoes would have made me nauseaus...but now..all I can think of is the Max Kibardin shoes....they are a thing of beauty.
Love the pink shoes! Here are a pair of pink patent flats:

And these aren't patent, but I just had to share:

More great shoes!! Hooray!!! Hestia, thanks for the link to flats -- I know I can be neglectful of flat shoes on this blog, but I do love & appreciate a good pair of no-heelers. It's just that the stillettos always look so pretty in the photos...
I usually just lurk, and i'm not usually a pink shoe person but i fell in absolute love with these:
KittenHeel
they're not really copper, but a beautiful pink in person.
also, in a higher heel slingback version
High Heel
