It’s raining shoes, hallelujah!

Have you seen the commercial where it’s raining shoes? A woman is driving to work and all of a sudden there’s an absolute shoe downpour? She gets out, grabs a couple hundred shoes, throws them in the back of her car, gives the world a confident head toss and gets back in?

  

What is that commercial advertising? We don’t know, we can’t stop looking at the raining shoes. Thus, we offer our blog version: we’re raining shoes upon shoes upon shoes down on your head. Sadly, they’re not as free as rain. But you’ll still feel that head toss when we’re through.

Here’s what we caught in our right hand: The Dior deco pump, with its stone-colored suede, metal diamonds and tiny Dior charm. At Neiman Marcus ($650, above left).

And here’s what came up in our left: Jimmy Choo’s Pavia patent leather pump. It’s a Mary Jane, and yet it’s so completely not. At Nordstrom ($595, preorder only, above rigth).

And here’s what made it into the pile in the back of our SUV:

    

Gucci’s Varsavia high heel booties, all brown leather with fur lining for those chilly days ($1,200, above left), Michael Kors’s Austin flat, so cute in five colors with its double-buckle strap and round toe, ($109), and DKNY’s Leila sandal, an embossed snakeskin slingback with criss-cross straps over the foot ($225, above right). 

And then we threw in Tory Burch’s gorgeous buckle pump with its equestrian-inspired metal, ($295 at Nordstrom), Stuart Weitzman’s Muse patent pumps for their classic toe and pretty line up the side of the foot ($295 at Bloomingdale’s, above top), and Kate Spade’s Georgia crocodile-embossed leather pumps with their hidden platform front ($328, above center). We grabbed Kenneth Cole’s poker chip Oxford because we dig the grosgrain ribbons ($89 at Macy’s), and then saw another Tory Burch, this Meghan colorblock pump with black, cream and terra cotta details ($350, above bottom).

 

 

And what they don’t show you in the commercial is that there’s still room left in the passenger seat! Yay! We filled it up with Dolce & Gabbana’s lace-up bootie ($795 at Neiman Marcus, above left), Manolo Blahnik’s metal circle bootie ($1,395, above right) (We cannot see this on our foot, but hey! It fell from the sky!), and Christian Louboutin’s Passamentarie pump to save for the holidays ($895, left). At the last minute we tossed in two Prada gems, a flat and a heel: the jeweled skimmer for those times when a heel is just too much ($580 at Barney’s New York), and the Jeweled peep-toe pump ($850, right), when nothing else will do.

We’re very happy with ourselves.
