Luxurate

Famed shoe designer Christian Louboutin has launched his own champagne in partnership with eccentric champagne house Piper Heidsieck. To commemorate, they have released a limited edition "Le Rituel" box set resurrecting a ritual of the 1880s that is emblematic of Europe at its peak: drinking from the shoe of a woman. This crystal stiletto designed by Christian Louboutin of course has a red sole like the famous shoes and is included in this limited edition gift box set. Available to pre-order now at wine.com.

Now that I have finally settled into my new home in Los Angeles, it's time to get back to all things luxurious. I can't think of a better way to celebrate the return of Luxurate than announcing the Christian Louboutin Event beginning today at theOutnet. With over 60 styles to choose from at up to 70% off, I'm anticipating some major damage on my credit card this week.

From what I have previewed, it appears the UK ladies have several very popular styles that rarely get marked down like Mad Mary studded pumps and Catwoman 120 T-Strap stilettos. Not that those of us on this side of the pond are being shortchanged, the US offerings include the modern cult classic Rolando in natural python and the sexy gladiator inspired Neuron 100 sandals in bright fuschia.

Net-a-Porter is one of my favorite online retailers for Christian Louboutin and I'm looking forward to receiving my first package from their new authentic designer outlet, theOutnet. Have any of you bought something from theOutnet yet? What did you think of their service and packaging?

The Christian Louboutin Circus Suede Cutout Bootie is quite possibly my favorite ankle boot ever, if only for it's special, unique design and incredible detail. From afar, it appears these could be sandals or cutouts with large gaping openings, however closer inspection reveals translucent nude mesh lining with subtle gold piping. These boots are beautiful on their own, but on the foot they are nothing short of stunning. A bold, chic juxtaposition of an organic/leaf motif with a sexy, sultry gladiator inspired styling only Christian Louboutin can imagine, this shoe is not only called Circus, it is likely to incite one.
