Shoe Lust : Kirsten Stewart in THOSE Rodarte boots

I realise these Rodarte boots will take at least half an hour to lace-up just right, but I deeply DEEPLY covet them.Practicality-wise, it took two people to put it on backstage... but it appears the foot portions can be slipped off when the need to try on other shoes arises (a small consolation?):Nicholas Kirkwood was reportedly considering putting these babies into production:

‘We're thinking about putting them into production now. But we'll probably tame them down so they'll just be below the knee.'

They're so fabulous (and deliciously unattainable) when mid-thigh but I suppose I could live with the design alteration if it meant a couple of hundred quid off the price. Yay.

Shoe Lust: Sienna Miller in Nicholas Kirkwood

I must confess that I'm a bit of a shopping snob - as much as I delight in my favourite shoe designers getting some overdue fame, a little part of me woes the day that this acclaim translates into Steve Madden / Charles & Keith rolling out their "inspired" versions.

Halle Berry in Camilla Skovgaard, Sienna Miller in Nicholas Kirkwood, Cheryl Cole in Rupert Sanderson and Gwyneth in Georgina Goodman... While we can (just barely) still term these shoe designers as "emerging", let's celebrate the absolute lustworthiness of Sienna's gold Kirkwoods at the MTV Movie Awards:

Sienna's outfit is a little Jennifer Connelly circa a few months ago, but that's probably just me being bitter about the shoes...

Shoe Lust: Nicholas Kirkwood

This pair of Nicholas Kirkwood ankle boots is going for USD 350 at Lulu And Your Mom right now.  

I'm a 36.5 with NK.  

I've been dreaming about my first pair of Kirkwoods.

I seem to have no black ankle boots.

This a somewhat restrained, and therefore very versatile style. 

Basically, I'm DYING right now...  Darn this infernal "show some restraint" shoe resolve!!
