Charlotte Olympia Fall 2013: Fairy Tale Shoes

These shoes are part of the Charlotte Olympia Fall 2013 collection and are inspired by fairy tales. There is also a handbag collection that I will post separately today. These retail in the $500-$1,500 range, so they are definitely out of my budget. But they are cool to look at! There was a trunk show--which has ended--and some are still available for preordering if they happen to be in your price range.

I admit that some of these are also a tad on the arts and craftsy side of appearance--like we could have made them for a class project. The frog prince red flat could be easily replicated, yes? Others are rather stunning. I like the bear one without the bear head, reminds me of the tennis shoes I designed years ago with Kay Nielsen's painting from East of the Sun which were the bestsellers on Zazzle in my collection until they quit making them. I never bought them myself and am still sad over it. And bestselling is relative, about 25 people in the world own a pair.
