Oooooh, these even look better than I'd hoped! I can't wait until mine arrive. So adore these and you wear them so well!!



Wowzer, these are so fun!!!



Okay, be honest - do you have a professional stage setter who sets the background so you actually have an incredible backdrop to perfectly match your equally amazing ensemble?!? :p I felt embarrassed by my mod pics before, but now I think I'm going to stop posting altogether. I bow down to the Loubi queen...:worthy:









Nothing beats a classic white pump. You look divine. :hbeat:



Oh, wow, Stilly, this goes in the top 10...20...100 of your looks. LOVING this. You look amazing. :woohoo:

Thanks so much dmand!
Sometimes Mother Nature helps out with the staging on the pics.
Note that it had rained that day which seems to be the norm here this spring.


You still haven't received your Python Lights? Didn't you order them over a month ago?

Definitely one of CLs best. Where did you get them hon. I haven't been able to find them anywhere... and of course you wear them so well.

Thanks Christina!


I found these on eBay. They're actually a full size too big but they seem to fit fine.
They're fairly hard to find as I've only seen a few pairs on eBay over the last few years.
They did come with both the 100mm and 120mm heel though.

So lovely!! My boutique had the Lady Peep version of these that I recently tried on; they are so fun, but I didn't feel like I could pull them off so well. They look perfect on you though! [emoji7]

Stilly, could your outfit be more perfect?! You look amazing! And the Front Double... I own these in the ivory version, and they are one of my favorite pairs! Such a beautiful design!

I have read a few of your posts comparing the old version of the classic Pigalle to the new, and I know that you (at least mostly) prefer the old version. Do you have any side by side pictures comparing the two? Is one more comfortable than the other?

I found a used pair of the old style that I am considering, but am unsure about the size. I tried on a 37.5 of the new Pigalle and that seemed to be the proper size. I also have two pairs of Pigalle Follies (100) that are 37.5 and are the correct size. The used ones I found are 37.5 as well.

I hope you don't mind all of the questions, as I know you get a lot. I just couldn't think of anyone who would be able to advise me on this decision more than you!

Thanks kb18! :smile1:


Somewhere in my posts I compared the Old vs. New Pigalle. I'll try to do that again in the next week or so.


I recommend going a half size down on the Old Pigalles from your regular CL size which looks like it would be a 37 for you. You might even be able to go to a 36.5.

I'm marveling at your pics, the composition is perfect. How do you handle the backlighting, usually the foreground gets washed out. Are you using Automatic, or manual mode?

BTW, your style is TDF. LOVE the 120 heels, above knee skirts. The mini skirts are SO HOT! You should be a Louboutin model, that would pay for the pricey shoes!

Do you wear 40.5 in a Hot Chick 130? Didn't their sizing "go small" with Hot Chick 130 & Pigalle Follies 120? I had to go up 1 full size (from my classic Pigalle 120).

When black-patent Hot Chick 130 came out, I ordered 41. But it was too small, so I had to go up .5 to 1 size. I'm happy with the fit, LOVE the shoe! It's now my preferred stiletto heel, beating out the old Louboutin signature shoe: the Pigalle 120.

I actually wear a 40.5 in the So Kates and my Black Hot Chicks are the same size.
They were horribly uncomfortable for the first few wearings though but they're much better now that they're broken in. I learned from that though and all my other pairs of Hot Chicks are size 41.


On Pigalle Follies 120's, I also go a half size up to a 41. I can wear them TTS but they tend to be too tight and squish my toes.

I actually take almost all my pics outside since its requires no lighting. To take good pics though, I'm usually limited to early morning and late afternoon when the light is better often when I'm going to or coming from work. I use an old Canon digital camera (not my cell phone) using auto mode and a timer.
Modeling part time in exchange for free shoes? If that call comes in I'm in...:yahoo:

Check your PM, I have something of interest.

I originally got my Hot Chick black-patent in a 41, but they were too small. Had to sell them on Ebay. I can do either 41.5 or 42. 41.5 requires stretching, lining the inner toe with vaseline then hitting it with heat (hair dryer). Massaging by hand softens it up. Repeat. I do this once a day.

42 is pretty good out of the box. But, I DO have to do the above routine to "massage" the toe box. Wow, the patent leather is STIFF when new!
