Amy Winehouse: Surprisingly Pretty Feet For Such a Rough Ridin’ Gal

Designers Say Yes, Yes, Yes to Style Muse Amy Winehouse

From the top of her Marge Simpson beehive to her trademark ballet shoes, troubled “Back to Black” troubadour Amy Winehouse has become the retro pin-up girl for designers like Karl Lagerfeld, Roberto Cavalli and Giorgio Armani. We also love the boozy images of Amy Winehouse gabbing with the original paparazzi-whores Kelly Osborne and Paris Hilton at Perez Hilton’s Birthday Bash.

We love these hand-painted “Zap” platform pumps by Terry de Havilland. Pick up a pair to wear with your skinny denim by clicking here.

She gives mannered ballet flats a round and tumble edge. Are Winehouse’ ballet slippers the muse for the popular square-toe ballet flat? Find a stellar price on these square toe-ballet flats at Zappos.

Her glammed up yet gritty Sid and Nancy look (pre-drug and alcohol calamities) has even inspired model Nicole Trunfio’s look for the new Guess campaign. Add shoe designer Jonathan Kelsey (who we’ve dubbed Louboutain deux, you heard it here first), who designed the “Amy” pump in tribute, to her list of fans. Buy these special Amy Winehouse tribute pumps as seen below here.

Despite her troubles, there is no doubt that Winehouse has a unique fashion point of view. Winehouse’s out-to-there winged eyeliner is probably too extreme for us plebeians, but her riot girl footwear is very wearable.

ShoeMinx is very fond of these “comic strip” mules from Eley Kishimoto and Betsey Johnson. Shop the product pages by clicking on the above links.

To Perez, xXx From Paris: Happy Birthday Gossip Gangster!

Perez Hilton> You Know You’re Good When..

You can make snarky comments about people and they still show up at your party.

The Gossip Gangster turned the big 3-0 this last spring, and the likes of Amanda Bynes, Paris Hilton, Kelly Osbourne and Amy Winehouse turned up to fete the man who’s made a mint on their misadventures and/or misfortunes.

There’s a certain playful affection that’s unique to Perez, which enables him to remain unscathed. Celebs can’t seem to ween themselves off of watching their disasters unfold on his blog. Now that’s one impressive trampoline act on the part of the self-described The Queen of All Media. One could argue he’s one of the best social strategists since Otto von Bismarck. Or not.

How hilarious is this image of Perez’s three befuddled muses at his party:

Are they fighting over corporate sponsor table top swag? Oh dear.

And of course, the money shot was all about Paris on Perez. Yikes.

Though ShoeMinx is not a fan of The Hills, we are digging the shoes Heidi Montag wore to Perez’s birthday bash.
