Okay, remember that one? I never actually saw that video, but I think I can take a guess and what it was about, based on the fact that I heard that "omigodshoes" quote maybe five million times my freshman year. At first I thought this was one of those video sensations that was so damn popular it was just going to be annoying but then I found these:

And suddenly I found myself thinking, "ohmigod I know!"
So now its time for a little trend analysis. I am of the opinion that the "trend" for shoes this summer and beyond is largely based in the awesomeness of the shoe's heel itself. Check this pair out. I bought them on ebay for a mere $23 bills and I am anxiously anticipating their arrival. There is something that always gets me about platforms, and I know it's not just me (come on, Lady Gaga much?). This particular find was not only a total steal, but the heel is actually solid wood, no man made materials. There is a peep toe so that I can wear them in summer but my foot won't be entirely exposed so I can totally chill in these during the winter with tights or some freshy-fresh socks...but I digress.

A wedge heel is a fine place to start, but it can get wild. These shoes by Alexander McQueen boast a lot of sparkles and jems, and may only be appropriate for the divine Lady G (who would be a Queen rather than a lady, but I think her number one fans have already filled that position oddly enough...don't pretend you don't know what I mean). BUT, there are some safer alternatives for the common folk with a knack for that delicious click-clack sound produced when your having a sole-stompin' good time. Check out these crazy finds from shopstyle.com and while your at your desk somewhere plugging away at exel files all summer dreaming of what you'll spend your food stipend on this week, have a look on google to find your own pair of Godzilla feet.
While you're clicking through these thumbnails, I am going to look out the window and wait for the postman (please, is there a letter for me?!)
