Somewhere Over The Rainbow

I'm sure you all know by now that I have a penchant for anything rainbow (especially hair). Well it should come as no surprise that my absolute favorite pair of shoes in existence are the "rainbow" platform shoes designed by Salvatore Ferragamo in 1936 for actress Judy Garland. Last year, the still, family run brand, remade the shoes the 50th anniversary of Ferrgamo's death. Of course, they were only sold at limited boutiques, and even if I got my hands on a pair of them I am fairly certain that I would not be able to afford even 1/10th of the cost.

The Ferragamo remake ala 2010

But good news, La Placard's current obsession, shoe designer Jeffrey Campbell has recently created a t-strap remake of the colorful platforms just in time for summer! The best part is they're under $200.

If you're like me and can only lust after the originals, then buy these dreamy shoes here.

You always let me know when you got some purple.

Dear Sylvie,

Your shoes are HAUTE. So are you.

These shoes were made for walkin'

As Christian Siriano would say, these shoes are FIERCE! Our very own EB was seen rocking these Chloë Sevigny for Opening Ceremony shoes on the streets of Madrid. Black is always in, but tons of buckles on shoes are in as well. The fiercer and more elaborate, the better!
