Damn it! Jessica Simpson makes cute shoes!

I am dumbfounded. Women actually have reasons for not buying shoes?

(Yes, I’m a guy)

Hmm I wonder if she has a ripoff of the Louboutin Pigalle 100s. Love the shoes but reeeeealllly don’t want to spend the $$ to buy them in all the crazy metallic colours that I crave.

Okay I found them. Her Vanity shoe seems pretty dead on for the Pigalles. I don’t really like the colours - now if they came in something luscious like chartreuse we’d be talking!

Jessica tends not to do pointier shoes, I’ve noticed. So, if the Vanity one is close, I’d go for it!

Ok. I’m going to keep it real. I completely understand where the OP is coming from with this. I do not like Jay Z. At all. When I see a cute jacket, and I realize it is Rocawear, I put it back. (can’t fit it anyways). I put it back because I really can’t stand the idea of wearing his work. Even if the work is cute.

But I have never had an issue with Jessica. Ok, she’s not that bright, they say (I have never seen the show that demonstrates her dumbness), and I don’t like her music, but she doesn’t turn me off in any way, so I have no problems with her. I will admit, I have seen her purses, and they feature the label “Jessica Simpson”. I would not buy a purse with that label, although I have a Coach purse with ‘Coach’ on it, and I don’t mind that a bit. So I guess I am weird about labels.

All that being rambled, I love this girl’s shoes. They are indeed modeled after more high end fashioned shoes, but unlike knockoffs, they are made very well, with great attention to detail and great quality leather that lasts without looking ratty. They don’t show any labels that say ‘Jessica Simpson’ of course. They aren’t Louboutins, although they certainly take the spirit of the shoe, as Diosa has pointed out. They come in lots of shiney patent leather styles that are made with genuine leather, not stinky vinlys and plastics. They are comfortable and they are beautiful to me…dare I even say…art. There are other celebrities out there putting their names on shoes that suck. Paris Hilton’s shoes are garbage…played out pointy toed shiney plastic pumps with 4-seasons-ago spindly heels. Yuck.

Now. Lets get linky up in here. Keep in mind that all these shoes are under 120 dollars and are genuine leather or patent leather at that price!

Theseare a favorite of mine. Extremely comfortable. I can wiggle my hips by the reggae speakers all night in these!

I want to show off two views of these pairs, because they are the truth! Had them for over two years, but they are still favorites. Gold leaf heel and platform. Got the round toe and the peep toe in this style.

These are greatfor every day with jeans. Would never wear these shoes to work though. I stick to a lower heel at work. This is for the streets.

I like these. Again, a lot of Louboutin inspiration here. I never noticed that before Diosa brought it up…I had always just noticed a general air of haute couture shoes at better prices and good quality, like Steve Madden does.

Now, I am feelin’ these! In upstate NY, these are really hard to find. The Macy’s here doesn’t carry shoes this stacked yet, but I found these at Marshall’s outlet, so I got lucky. And these are deceptively comfortable.

Why did I write this long ass post? Two reasons. Most importantly, I want to show off my shoes. Secondly, I honestly hope to convince the OP to bite the bullet and get those Jessica shoes. No shame in it, baby. No shame in it.

Pshyeah. I love your shoes. Especially that last pair!

Yesss! I was hoping the shoe-lova’s would turn out to tell me they love my shoes. Thanks.

Now, back to the spirit of the pit…(as if it can be salvaged now that we have cooed over shoes…), I hate Jay Z. What he has done to hiphop makes me sick to my stomach. It doesn’t matter to me that he doesn’t know a sketch pad from a knitting needle…I just don’t want to be associated with his ‘brand’.

Sometimes I will seesome thing that I think is cute, and I think to myself, “that would be a nice lil’ purse to carry to the show” or whatever. When I see it really close up, I notice that it is Rocawear, and I wouldn’t want anyone to think I wear Jay Z’s crap. I also notice it is usually pleather and not leather.

I should also admit that I am 35 years old, and probably a bit old to be wearing the kind of crap that Jay Z makes anyways. But still…at least twice, I have been surprised to like something with that crazy RW symbol somewhere on it.

ETA: I also realized that one of the shoe pics I posted was Guess. But Jessica has a shoe nearly identical in the round toe, so same point. She got good shoes.

I noticed one pair was Guess, but I let you slide because your shoes are awesome! ;)*

I guess I can say I understand opposition to a “celebrity” brand if there’s a serious reason you hate the person (like your Jay Z example or the above Donald Trump). If I just think that someone is some “random dumb airhead celebrity”, then I really don’t care.

• I’ve been in this determined, “I am gonna declutter this place!” mood and told my fiance about it, and said, “and I even know of TWO PAIRS of shoes I can just get rid of!” and he starts laughing and says, “TWO PAIRS? PACE YOURSELF, WHOA!!!” Shut up, jerk!
