A new thing to love (insanely)...Versace shoes on eBay

There's something about the late '80s/early '90s Versace image that makes me absolutely INSANE and flooded with love. It's decadent, but not in a way that seems gaudy; wild and sexy, but not sleazy or cheap. Versace clothes and accessories from this period seem like the stuff the coolest girl at the party would

be wearing while she drank champagne, flirted, told good jokes and stories, but never got too drunk. It is, in essence, my adolescent ideal of what a grownup woman should be. I'm even crazy about the bizarro vintage ads, which feature supermodels in perhaps too-bright attire jumping, standing on boulders, hanging upside down--all just really glamour-jubilant, triumphant in their own fabulousness.

So, today, inspired by a post I saw on Ebay Fashion Addict, I decided tolook for some foxy Versace lady

shoes. And, man, I found some goodones: Check out this slinky strappy style, completely classic peep-toes with gold soles, and these,which,

with their teal satin, jewel-encrusted heels, and fringy tasselsembody the spirit of everything I'm talking about.
