A Slave for Gladiator shoes

Trend or not, Gladiator shoes are hot. Ever since I laid eyes on those Balenciaga knee high gladiator heels on numerous celebrities like Kylie Minogue (in her “Giving You Up” video) and Jennifer Lopez, I’ve been lusting after a pair. Chanel also made a very strappy pair last year and they were widely photographed on Mary-Kate Olsen one soiree. Alas, I cannot afford to drop $1000 on a pair, so you can imagine how much I really love Nine West.

My Perez Hilton moment. For a mere $92.95.

How many ways can we wear these shoes? Dress it up and go bare, chic and conservative with black stockings, fun and playful with colored stockings, great with skinny jeans, I can think of so many ways to wear it with this pair.

Alas, the fashion world is a cruel, cruel place.

Size 6 and up only.

My heart cries on the inside.
