Available Online Here: Saks Fifth Avenue

As my fellow LiveStyle Ladies know, I like to indulge in all things close to perfection, and these Valentino Garavani masterpieces just might be PERFECT! Now, was my previous articulation an elaborate exercise in high-end hyperbole, yes. However, I dare Y.O.U. to tell me that I am wrong. Any takers? Huh? I didn't think so.

Anyway, As hard as it is to admit, Summer is clearly over and todays gale force winds just swept the Fall season in on a beautiful bed of fallen leaves which I intend to shuffle through in these suave suede Valentino Lace-Up Ankle Boots. These cut out booties are 4½ inches of pure pleasure meets pain, but thats just the price we have to pay, besides $795 @ retail. x Sigh x If only Y.O.U. LiveStyle men understood. LOL!

Hitting Newsstands Nextweek: Rihanna Covers The Vogue Italia (Couture Supplement) September 2009 Issue.

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: With all of the très chic female buzz cuts and the militantly cut angular silhouettes popping up in collections on runways across the world, this obviously Grace Jones inspired Rihanna cover for Vogue Italia September 2009 is right on time!

Although only for the annual couture supplement feature and not the coveted main Vogue Italia cover, this androgynously avant-garde shoot captured by the incredible lens of New York based fashion photographer and all around auteur Steven Klein, is a brilliant case study in trendy transcendentalism. Yes, this smashing "Extreme Couture" black and white vision in Valentino is something a lot like "Memories Of The Future" homie - word to Erich Von Daniken. Google it!

Helloooooo Ladies: Valentino High-Heeled Peep Toe Couture Bow Half d'Orsay Sandals Summer 2009.

"Sometimes a shoe comes along that just makes you go "wow". This is one of those shoes. The colour, the box, the fact that it looks just as good from above as it does from any other angle, meaning that you get to look down on such loveliness every time you wear them - everything about these has left me wishing I could find a spare $695 down the back of the couch, so I could make them mine.

They're available to buy direct from Valentino."

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: As Winter and Spring now play tug-of-war with our days, it is time for my ladies to seriously start considering what their open toe shoe game is going to look like for Summer oh-9. NOTE: Your participation in this conversation requires honesty and self awareness on your part. If Y.O.U. know that Y.O.U. have bunions and your pedicure truly demands an emphasis on the "cure", then, this post is not for Y.O.U. - you've got a few issues to sort out 1st ma ... lol.

The Livestyle ethos is a curious mix of selective conservatism and color; knowing when to stand out, stand up or stand back in this world of ours. With all of that standing, Y.O.U. need a few good pairs of shoes! All shoes are effectively "statement" shoes - they all say something about the wearer - however, some statements are more grandiose and worthwhile than others. Case in point: The Valentino high-heeled peep toe couture bow half d'Orsay sandals for Summer 2009. These turquoise trinkets look like a pair of sophisticated Tiffany Nike Dunks ... lol. Fear not young lass, patent leather can be your friend. Slip these on for a nice sunny day and watch all of the jealous stares that you'll receive in the brilliant reflection off of your super shiny heels. Eat your hearts out bitches.
