HOT OR NOT: YSL CAGED BOOTIES
Saturday, May 2, 2009

Cage d accessories are definitely a must have for this Summer, and leading the pack are these $1590 YSL Caged booties from the Spring/Summer 2009 collection. Beyonce and Ciara have been seen rocking their high priced pairs lately.
What do you think of the cage boot - sort of interesting? If you’re feeling the look, and not the price - I found some more reasonable choices online:

I wouldn’t wear those shoes if you paid me. Ciara looks better because she looks clean and B just looks a mess, but the shoes B is wearing look slightly better because of the color- her outfit and hair are just embarrasing.
Who in their right mind would pay $85 for those horrible shoes?

I THINK THE SHOES ARE HOT BUT YES THE HEEL TOTALLY RUINS THEM SO THE RECESSION SHOES ARE HOTTER IMO

The shoes look cute on Beyonce, even though I don’t like the heel. I saw some really cute YSL inspired shoes in the store that I might get.

the knockoffs look much better. that chunky heel looks a mess on the originals.

The black ones are cute. The shoe is busy enough without adding crazy colors to it. That gold one is too much.

the nock off’s look so much better! i think cici hammer toe is affecting the shoes most definitely…on bee they look cute from the front but that heel oh that heel takes you back to 1995!

Not! Hated it on Dawn & Cici…looked decent on Bee (i guess because of the different color)
This shoe isn’t for everyone…big-footed, leaning ones…whatever

They look hella uncomfortable. Imagine your little toe poking through and getting stuck in that while you trying to get your shop on. I vote them off the island.

The YSL boots are cool, but the heels are ugly. So I prefer the other two cheaper options, especially the Ravin Style version.

On another note, Beyonce looks like Oliver Twist or a newspaper boy in that outfit.

Beyonce looks a f*ckin mess from head to toe… I really don’t believe people can think for themselves anymore. Obviously Ciara rocked them better, but that isn’t the point of this post.
I think the design of the shoe is cute….

That’s a HORRIBLE shoe.
Definitely feeling the knock offs more.
I remember when I saw Ciara wear them the first time like a month or 2 ago and thought they were ok. No ma’am. Not around these parts.

I bet if “you know who” rocked those shoes with a punk/rock outfit and Mohawk those shoes would be the “biz-ness”.

Token from another blog:
“The swine flu “pandemic” is such a ridiculous bit of fearmongering.
There’s several billion people on the planet, and roughly 150 or so reported deaths.
You’ve got more chance of being hit by lightning or winning the lottery or having sex with a nun than getting infected or even knowing someone who knows someone who knows someone’s uncle’s cousin’s sister’s best friend’s dog’s groomer who happened to see someone on the bus who sneezed violently. “

ladies..i actually like the boots…i prefer them better in silver i guess i havent seen anyone rock the black ones like they really should..
ladies beware..and take this from a mans perspective
the 85 dollar ones look extremely cheap..the 200 ones are real nice tho..i love seeing ladies in sexy stilettos..knock offs are cool..but not to the point where they look like knock offs. lol..
ps..still loving beyonce’s outfit that day..very good look for her..she was walkin round lookin to motherly recently and dont even have no kids lol

Those shoes are hot, the black ones do look better but they are still both hot…..people are just haters because they cant afford to live like they do and within themselves they know it is so very true. if you think about it where does ugly come from, in terms of being dirty and not nice to people? its because people have their own insecurities and issues dealing with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So deal with them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I swear, Beyonce could take a dump, fashion it with a bow, and wear it on her head and people would still be on here talking ’bout ” damn, that steaming turd bey is rockin’ is the Hotness/Bizness etc. i mean I wouldn’t necessarily wear it but it is positively HAUTE on her…Go Bey” lol !!! rotflmbao

Ewwww! My mom showed me these shoes on the Neiman Marcus website months ago. She aked me if I would ever wear them (jokingly)
I told her some dumb celeb was going to wear them and then they were going to be all the hype just like those stupid Chinese Mesh Sandals!
The shoes look like a cheap toy from Target!

BeYawnSay looks homeless in Europe head to toe tacky!!!! those jeans look cheap on her. They are not her style and I wish she would stop trying to get her swagger up because she is NOT a fashion icon!
The shoes look better on Ciara’s narrow feet
BeYawnSay got wide fat, bunion toes. She RUINS everything!

I love them! I love them although I do NOT love how either of these style-deprived losers are wearing them. I like the way Zoe Kravitz was styled for that Nylon shoot where she’s wearing them in a different variation. These are actually the cuter of the collection but Zoe looks WAY better, she wears them way better. You should check that out and add her photo. People might respond positively to her since she’s clearly the style winner out of these two “gotta get the hot shoe and everything else falls into place” wannabes.

I’m surprised abt the square heel comeback. Never really got into square heels…….Caged booty is very interesting………not in a good way……..I like the knockoffs because of their regular (more acceptable) stiletto look. I guess that’s how fashion is……designers bring it back to set trends????
