Wild Wednesday: Cruella de Vil


Maybe you can guess the theme of this week's Wild Wednesday shoes. That's right - Dalmatians! At least that was the very first thought that jumped into my head when I spotted (haha, sorry!) Molly by Bionda Castana. Although Bionda Castana sounds distinctly Italian, the two designers for this shoe line, Jennifer Portman and Natalia Barbieri, are decidedly British. According to these hip London women: "We design and create shoes that when a woman sees them she says, 'I have to have them.' "

In choosing outfits for these unusual crepe satin booties, there is one important rule - NO SPOTS. In fact, monochromatic or colorblock dresses are probably the best bet in order to prevent oneself from mimicking an actual dalmatian.

Still, I am unable to help myself. Maybe just one faux fur coat?

And a familiar refrain drifts through my head.
"Cruella de Vil, Cruella de Vil, If she doesn't scare you, no evil thing will. To see her is to take a sudden chill. Cruella, Cruella de Vil."
