I'm still on my Big Chunky Shoe kick. This can be completely blamed on the mind-boggling Marni platforms I got a month or so ago and that I am utterly besotted with. Have I shown you those shoes? I think so, but here they are, as a refresher:
Yes, I did wear them with those green tights and yes, they were totally fab. I can't believe how useful I've found these shoes -- it seems like they look great with almost everything. I wore them with a tulle skirt a few weekends ago to toughen it up and it was great. They were, of course, perfect with the teal Dries van Noten dress. I'm also loving them with narrow, ankle-length jeans (although it's just about too hot for jeans here unless you're dashing from one air-conditioned venue to another). They're also good with a pencil skirt -- basically I just love the way the big chunky shoe offsets a narrower silhouette above them.
So I'd like more of the same, but in another color. I do love the black (and the above shoes are actually black, dark brown, and a metallic pewter color all in one, so hey -- super useful!) and if I could only have one pair like this I'd definitely go with the black, but in what universe (excuse me, Shoeniverse) am I limited to one pair? No universe I want to live in, that's for sure.
These are the current front-runners. I know a lot of folks won't particularly care for these, but if loving this shoe is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
Thes only come in black, more's the pity, 'cause that's a great shoe.
The halter strap on this is a little narrower than I'm really looking for, but I am very drawn to how colorful it is. It comes in a red/orange combo, as well.
Lovely coral. Chunky but not intimidating. A great shoe for a floaty summer dress.
Oooooh, shiny. Style Spy likes shiny. (Also in black or white.)
A good chunky alternative for those who don't dig a sky-high platform. Even better news? These are by -- wait for it -- Aerosoles, and they are crazy on sale.
Oh, dear. Chunky gone wrong. These are "Rachel Zoe's Pick." Figures.
Another of Ms. Zoe's picks. Good googly-moogly, that's not a shoe, it's an end table. WHY ON EARTH would anyone listen to this woman on the topic of fashion???
Dark brown. Not really colorful enough to qualify, but they are fantastic shoes. Love that nice heavy gladiator strap -- still gets the idea across without the platform, in case you don't happen to love platforms.
The search continues. Let me know if you find anything you think I should have a gander at!

I looove the last ones! Beautiful! Still don't know about the red ones (you first choice)... I'm more of a gladiator girl :)
Love, love, love the coral patent leather ones!

Rachel Zoe makes me gag!
I haven't done too much chunky but I've been trying the gladiator-esque strappy - http://shoedaydreams.blogspot.com/2008/06/ensemble-du-jour_11.html
I'm still easing in to the "tough" and am finding myself drawn more to it as well.

P.S. Style-Spy, I have a pair of unworn Weitzman Fevers in Red Quasar with the gold heel. I'm thinking of selling them. Know any buyers interested who also wear a size 5 (I'll have to check if they're 5s or 5.5s)
Coral! Coral! Coral!
I hate Rachel Zoe too but that first pick isn't too bad. The second one is a pile of merde for sure.
These shoes are hot
