I got my Naughty Monkey pumps today! Prettiest little things in the world! Wish the black patent with pink strap would have been $34.95, but it was $79.99, so i got the red patent with gold straps.

Wondering if instead of buying a new pair of pumps, if i could hang out with president bush, and some woman will throw a nice pair at him? I could run over and collect them. I could get a good pair of Louboutins or Blahniks, perhaps. Wouldn't it be great if Imelda Marcos was young, and a reporter? What if she was mad at chimpy? How many, out of her 60,000+ pairs, could she have thrown? Does she wear an 8.5M? Does she have any stiletto peeptoes in pink patent?

Now, here are pics of my Paris Hilton pumps that i got for $15.99 a pair on amazon.com. The pump is called "Crush". I got the pink patent pair and a red pair. I love them both! They feel pretty great! I think it was someone who frequents amazon.com that said they bought a pair and returned them because the heel was coming off. Well, i've only had mine for 4 days, and they feel pretty sweet! I felt like wearing socks, by the way..

Don't you know, everything is "Made in China" (or Mexico, Taiwan, Japan, etc.) anymore? At least it seems that way. It is so hard to find anything "Made in America" and I'm in America!

The shoes were probably made in China, shipped to the company in America and then shipped to you. So they came from America but weren't made in America.

I went to Dillards and got my Gianni Bini pumps, and it's interesting to know that they are made in Brazil! I haven't seen any pumps made there since the early 90's, when Nine West pumps were made there. I prefer "Made in" to be ANYWHERE but China! With all the lead and everything in their products, we'll probably have to have our feet amputated someday.

I REALLY like that Jessica Simpson "Rocker" pump! The zipper adds something very interesting and unique to them. I will check out the local DSW here in Las Vegas and see if they have any in stock!

I LIKE that shoe. Does it come in wide sizes too?

Howdy. Nope, doesn't come in wide. Just medium. Shoe manufacturers need to make shoes available for all foot sizes. All i see mostly are medium with designer shoes.

As i mentioned the other day, i fell in love with this pump, the "Marching Orders" pump by Naughty Monkey. Unfortunately, amazon.com has some screwy prices, based on SIZE, and COLOR. No particular brand and style of shoe is the same price. Very weird! I was going to buy the black patent with the pink highlights/strap, but that is $79.99 for size 8.5, which is my size. It is $39.98 for 6.5, which is not my size. Weird huh? Anyway, i ordered the red patent, for $23.99 plus about $4.99 shipping. Could not get the FREE super saver shipping, because the shoe isn't $25.00 and above.

Anyway, here's a few pics. Pretty little shoe, nonetheless!

There are a few different styles that are heavily discounted: http://www.amazon.com/s/sr=41-41/qid=1229392920/ref=sr_in_-2_p_4_40?ie=UTF8&rs=679416011&field-brandtextbin=Paris%20Hilton&rh=n%3A672123011%2Cn%3A679337011%2Cn%3A679416011%2Cp%5F4%3AParis%20Hilton&page=1

As pumpedup pointed out, very interesting (almost bizarre) that in the same shoe, some are on sale for ~$16, while others are regular price @ $80.

Found out that it happened again, but it's even worse!! I went to buy the Naughty Monkey "Marching Orders" pump in black patent/pink about an hour ago, and they are $39.98 for size 6.5, but $79.99 for size 8.5, which is my size! CRAZY! One of the other colors, white patent/black patent, is also priced differently, depending on size. The red patent, and the black patent, are all the same price, $23.99, no matter which size! I ordered the red patent, BUT i don't get the FREE super saver shipping, because it has to be $25.00 or over! blahhhhhhhhhh! Amazon is one crazy website!!

Hot, hot, hot. As pumpedup mentioned, Amazon's sale prices are really good right now. I bought these pairs just 2 weeks ago and they've already slashed prices again... (kind of mad about that). All were less than $34 when I bought em, now they're all less than $28 I think.

hi! I LOVE the Jessica Simpson oxford, and the Nine West oxford!! Beautiful style! I am ordering my Naughty Monkey pumps today! Hopefully they won't take too long to get here. In a few weeks, the sale will be off, but i don't care. I will buy all 4 colors of the Naughty Monkey "Marching Orders" pump! HOT HOT HOT!

Paris Hilton? I would prefer someone a lot more classy than that and with a smaller shoe size than Paris's size 11s. Connie Chung come to mind.

She wears a size 11??? wow! She's got big feet. I like dainty women. I don't prefer tall women, so supermodels aren't my cup of tea. Paris is a model, but not a supermodel, so she's ok in my book.

For those who wanna add even MORE shoes to their collection, amazon.com is having a sale!! UP TO 80% off on shoes! HOT ones, too! This is on my list of things to buy today or tomorrow. Naughty Monkey mary jane style pump. I LOVE the colors!

it will only cost about $39, because they have FREE shipping on lots of brands/styles, including this one! So check 'em out at amazon.com!!

She's also younger than my youngest daughter.... I feel soooo guilty.

But she is still an adult! It's not like you're admiring a 16 year old. She's a grown woman. No need to feel guilty, Unless you are STALKING her!?!?!? muuahahahahaha!!! Something you are trying to tell us???? muahahahahah!!!

Tell us about them after you get them. There's a reason why the prices have gone so low..

What you said, about the price of some shoes going so low, is very true. Sometimes, it's just a cost cutting move because the shoes didn't sell. I went to Dillards back in February, and bought the Jessica Simpson "Henri" pump for only $18.00! That pump is SWEET! I don't know why it sold at Dillards for so cheap. If you go to some online sites (shoes.com, endless.com, zappos.com, etc..) you will find "Henri" for about $59 or less. As for the Paris Hilton line of shoes, they usually are up there, between $50 and $80 at each site i've been to. They're sellling, i'm sure. There should be a site, to see how well a particular shoe is selling. That would be cool.

The pumps should arrive on friday. I'll post pics and let you know about them.

I'd prefer to be in Mariah Carey's as she and I take the same size!

Oh that's another fine choice! Paris Hilton would be the choice for me! Or Alexis Bledel! Or a thousand other famous female celebs!

Hello. I always had a thing for Paris Hilton, the celebrity. That being said, when she released her line of shoes, i just had to have a few pair of her "Crush" pump. There's nothing really to the pump, i guess. It just looks like a basic almond-toe pump, with an elongated vamp, so many in the shoe biz would call this pump a "Pointy toe" pump. So, recently i tried to find her "Crush" pump, and boy did i!!! At amazon.com, there they are, in all their glory! Regular price is about $80, but on amazon.com, they sell for a whopping $15.99 a pair, but for only a few select colors. So if you like the pump and want to order some colors, go to amazon.com and see which colors you like and order some. There is one color that is called "blue degraded patent" that still has the $80 price tag, but all of the other colors are millions of dollars less! I ordered the pink patent and the red leather.

It doesn't matter her size, I can find plenty to DO in that closet.

Oh i know what you mean! Nothing more needs to be said, only thought! To be in the closet of a hot celeb like J.A., around all her shoes and purses! it would be Heavenly!!

thanks! I am off to shop tomorrow, to find some more pumps. Instead of paying $80 for pumps, i am going to go a bit cheaper, and try some shopping at Charlotte Russe, which has some nice pumps on their website. Also, Wet Seal has some KILLER booties for $29! They have them in both black patent and red patent. Look at the pics below. They are a must have, IMHO, so that's where i'll be tomorrow!

Check out Jessica Alba's shoe shelf. Kind of a small picture, but i'd love to be alone in that room, provided she wears my size!

and while you're at it, check out her website, with some of her shoes shown! Louboutins and others! HOT!

ok. Along with the Jessica Simpson pumps i bought, i also fell in love at first sight with this; Gianni Bini "Vita" pump. Black patent with a red "mary jane" type of strap, and also, It's a cap toe pump, with a gold cap.I love them, but golly are they tight!!! i definitely have to do a lot of walking in these babies so they will slip on easier!!

Ok i went to Dillards last night. I got the majestic red patent Jessica Simpson "Vanity" pump. I got outta there, and thought about getting the color "Prince", which is purple. Either way, i made out! They kinda remind me of the Guess "Carrie" pump, with kind of a low cut upper on one side of the pump. They feel pretty good, but will feel better when i wear them in.

I am buying these babies from DSW online TODAY! They are Adrienne Vittadini peeptoe pumps, made in Italy. $199 shoes for only $59. I tried to go get them locally, but they are sold out! Figures, huh? It's ONLY a $140 savings. They have them in 5 or 6 different colors and styles. I am enamored by the light blue ones. That's why i posted the pic. Aren't they just lovely?

Treated myself to a pair of these

I like those, but would like them better if they had the hidden platform. That's the shoe i am into these days. I am off to Ross this week to buy some from Joey O, or Steve Madden. Either black or silver patent. They looked very sweet!!!

So has anyone here bought any of the new type of pumps, the type with a hidden platform? They really look better than regular platforms. With the hidden platforms, the uppers are uniform in color and style, so it doesn't look tacky, like the pumps with that cork part! I am looking at a few at Ross. One brand name is Joey O. The other is Steve Madden, i believe. Both have the hidden platform. VERY sexy looking shoes! I didn't make it to the Marshalls Mega Shoe shop yet, but tomorrow i'll be there!

They are leather in all shades, and the heel is 5" so they are high. They list 4.5 inch but they go taller with size as they should at VS.

Thanks for posting the pics! They look really nice, but the ONLY thing i don't like about them is all the toe cleavage. I prefer zero toe cleavage, but if there is a bit, it's ok. When i first saw the "Marcie" pump by Madeline, there was some toe cleavage issues. I then found them dirt cheap from someone on ebay, and i bid on and won them. They turned out to be one of my favorite pumps out of my collection of 50 pairs. I guess i got used to the toe cleavage, and they feel so great on my feet!

Later today, i'm going to Marshalls' Mega Shoe shop and see what kind of pumps they have. It'll be the first i've been there. I've been to the regular Marshalls stores, where they have a drop-in-the-bucket shoe department, but not the Mega Shoe one. I know someone who works for Marshalls, and he says the shoe dept. is quite a biggie! Who can beat Marshalls' prices? For example, $39.99 for a pair of pumps that you would find at Macy's for $80.00? If i don't find anything at Marshalls, which is doubtful but still possible, i'll check out the Zappos store. Whatever happens, i'll get me a nice pair of pumps or two to add to my collection. Then, i'll go online and order a pair of the V.S. pumps like you have.

cheers!

V.S. heel collection.

They averaged about $45 per pair with various sales, I took 4 seperate purchases. I got them on their web site. Never seen a Victoria's store with heels, only place to get them is on line in smaller cities like Syracuse.

I am wearing, wore my 2 tone grey heels right now. Hevenly.

I don't think i've ever seen a V.S. store with heels, either. Though i haven't been in one of their stores in ages! I was getting the catalog for a while, but i don't know why they stopped coming in the mail. Are the pumps leather, or just PVC? i think i will order a pair of those. They look like the style of pump that i love most - the basic almond-toe pump with a nice 3 or 4 inch heel.

As far as buying more than one color of a single pump, I think the pump that i am currently looking at, that i want all the colors of, is the Paris Hilton "Crush" pump. There are like 6 different colors to it. Also, the BCBGirls "Popiul" pump is beautiful, and there are like 6 or 7 different colors to that one. I have the black patent, and they are TOO sexy for words to describe. When i look at them on my feet...wow!

I just finished my collection of Victoria Secrets 5" low cut stilettos. I bought my first pair months ago, love them so much that I got more and more. I am up to 8, got the last 2 today. They are from left to right.

2 tone grey to black patent

brown patent

black snake

black matte

pewter

red matte

They all fit perfectly and walk easily.

Hope you like.

I love those! How much did you pay for each pair? I think I'll have to investigate. Did you buy them at the store, or from their website/catalog? Inquiring minds GOTTA know! Let us know! Someday, i gotta get all the colors of a particular pump. Usually, i buy designer brands from Macys or Zappos, and there's only a few colors.
