TBT: A Rose By Any Other Name Is A Stunning Pair Of Heels!

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

In June of 2013, we were invited to participate at a luxury conference featuring the iconic brands of the world.  On our way from our apartment we walked by this store that had created a pair of women's shoes that looked like a long stemmed rose.  The heels were studded with pointed stones to mimic thorns.  We loved that they had a dozen red roses in a vase as part of the display. These were not walking shoes, just sitting around and looking fine shoes!


Happy Thursday!

Good morning A.  I still don't see how you can walk in those things.  I would break my ankle

So creative, but too high for me to tour our Long Island Condos and homes...even the luxury ones!

Good morning Ron and Alexandra Seigel ,

Very artful arrangement to showcase these heels designed to look like a long stem rose! Very creative window display.

Hi Alexandra. To everything there is a purpose and those are indeed "sitting around and looking fine" shoes!   Pretty useless for anything else like say, walking.

Hi Ron & Alexandra - It doesn't take much to get me philosophical about the impenetrable divide between the sexes when the topic of shoes comes up. I'm sitting here wondering what a pair of men's "sitting around looking fine" shoes would look like, and the most impractical thing I can come up with is certain styles of cowboy boots.

Those are some very fancy shoes, I have no idea how you would walk in them though, haha.

I love these heels but you would not find me strutting around in them.  Just sitting around looking fine (or maybe standing).

Ron and Alexandra- I'm not a high heel person but I do love those!!!  It might inspire me to get that shot of Botox in my feet just so I could wear them!!  I would have them sitting out on display too.  And, Dick Greenberg one of my most comfortable pair of shoes I'd ever owned were my cowboy boots!  Sigh...they just don't seem to work in South Florida.

I am sure that they would make a fine gift for someone named Rose, thanks R&A.

Red heels seem to be making the news lately.  I had to take a close look at the pair you posted.  Ivanka Trump has been marketing red shoes Aquazzura is claiming she plagerized.  Here's a pair of each side by side.  Be the judge.

Had to laugh at the last line... These were not walking shoes, just sitting around and looking fine shoes!  For SURE!

With shoes like that, Sex In the City would still be on T.V. and more women would be buying and wearing, not just looking fine on the display rack!

I had to laugh at Myrl Jeffcoat's comment and photograph!!!

Ron and Alexandra Seigel The shoes and roses make a beautiful display, each complementing the other.  The shoes are stunning.  Unfortunately, my high heel days are over.
