Something for Dad - Slippers

Holiday shopping is so hard sometimes, especially for the older men in our lives. Whoever they may be, I'm not here to judge. Everyone needs slippers. These are clearly high quality, I mean the velvet will totally stand up to Illinois winters. And the detailing! The description says its HANDMADE in England. All I can say is WOW. $440.

Jellies by Marc Jacobs

Oh wait! No I mean... Rubber round toe ballet flat with cut-out detail at toe and three small holes in vamp for ventilation. Rubber sole/upper. Available in Yellow. Made in Italy. MADE IN ITALY!!!!!! Jellies made in Italy. They come in other colors too, like aqua and smoke. No lie. I'm also not lying when I tell you these are on Sale down to $95 from $155.

Moon Boots

These are those UGGs shoes that all the kids are wearing. I don't like them, but I'm not their demographic. And even though its too easy to make fun of what young kids are wearing, I can't deal with these. Don't they look like the shoes your mother would make you when your Halloween costume was a robot or Astronaut? She grabbed a pair of slippers or old boots and spray paint them silver. These are made by UGG for and they sell for $150. My GF and I discussed these and she reminded me that the boots were called Moon Boots, you got them at Kmart. They were awesome if you were 5 but any older than that your school chums would hassle you to death about your dumbass Moon Boots. Good times.

Yikes...Frankenstien shoes

These little gems are from designer Stella McCartney. I usually hate her stuff and this is no exception. Why take a pair of perfectly good shoes and add this goofy pink ankle strap to it. It looks like those sand filled weights you might use to get an added burn in areobics class. Not that I ever did that but I have saw other people doing it. Still, my vote is: Yuck! All this for $875.00.

Ball & Chain

Another awesome GF Jenny find. These are from Fendi and they are a suede strappy sandal with a 4.5" heel that is OH-SO-Delicate. How heavy are these shoes exactly? And can I make a pair out of the strappy sandals I already own by just driving to Ace Hardware and picking up a soldering iron and $5 worth of dog chain? Actually, never mind because these are only $690. But they're made in Italy.

Tri-Color Metallic Grandma Shoes

Darlings! I just can't decide which Rolex to wear today...the gold one or the silver and gold one? And then which shoes? My God what will Muffy and Brad at the Country Club think? I know! I'll buy these $425 sandals and I'll have all the metallic choices in the world. Bronze? Check. Silver? Check. Gold? Check. Old Lady feet? Check.

The Most Expensive Flip-Flop Ever

Let's say you just won the lottery and you have money to burn, well I have the shoes for you. Listen, I love Christian Louboutin as much or more that the next girl - a sexy shoe is a soothing balm to the soul as far as I'm concerned. But honestly - $495 for this patent leather in either white or black? I have two words for you - Pay Less.
