YSL Rose Platforms
ysl_rose_platform_12.jpg

My heart skipped several beats when my friend Sasha (aka Fashion Director of US Weekly) ysl_rose_platform.jpgforwarded photos of these new shoes from YSL spring collection.  We are busy moms with demanding careers yet somehow, we always find time each day to discuss our mutual shoe and bag obsessions (don’t tell the hubbies!).  Everyone needs a friend like Sash, she tells it like it is and always seem to know what will work better for me than myself sometimes (especially when I get blinded by the excitement of the moment!).   I was contemplating a pair of very expensive shoes with chunky heels and she talked me out of it– she said I am more “refined defined” (once you know her you are able to decode Sasha language) and sent this pair as a more “Tina” option.  And you know what, she was right!  This is more my style and something I’d wear often to luncheons and cocktail events.  For some reason YSL shoes just fit my feet well and this boasts 5 inches with an almost 2 inch platform so I know it will be (fairly) comfortable!

I’m also dying over the rose and the vine heel, so insanely chic!  I don’t need to explain why this color will go with everything in my closet, do I?  Plus the flesh tone will make the legs look longer, it’s the perfect shoes for spring!  Don’t bother looking online for it, it just arrived and will probably sell out quickly.  Call our boy Eddy at Bergdorf Goodman 212-872-8940 and he will gladly send them to you (tax free if you’re not in NY).  Or email him if you’re anti-social and hate talking on the phone.

  1. Hi Tina these shoes are very pretty. I would like to see the other pair you were thinking about also. I like shoes with a chunky heel also. I think it depends on what you are wearing.

    Tina, I am 5’3″ and I already have a hard time walking in 4″ heels. How in the world can you wear 5″ + 2″ platform? You must tell us… I tried my fav mary jane typed platforms from Louboutin boutique and always walk like a geisha. Very ladylike! NOT! Please share your tips :)
