Having previously blogged about my trouble find shoes I felt my twitter friend Shopping Notes notes pain in her most recent blog post Who’s Wearing Christian Louboutin?
as she recounted her unsuccessful shoe shopping trip. This is where the dumb as a post computers take over. Her blog host wordpress.com includes links to possibly related posts. On e of the links was to another blog article HAUTE Style: Beyonce’s Studded Tootsies. A cookie for out byte based friends here, the article does mention Christine Louboutin. The first pair of shoes mentioned in the posting are a pair of studded boots Beyonce was pictured wearing. The blog post has a picture of a pair of the boots in pink which linked to stylefinder.com.
. I thought it it would be amusing to send the picture to shopping notes as a suggested footwear option. I clicked the image which took me to stylefinder.com and informed me "The Ariella Studded Boots by Christian Louboutin has sold out. This is Stylefinder.com's closest match."
I may not be a fashion mavin but I'm not sure I would recommend the fringed Muks to someone who was looking for a pair of hot pink studded boots with high heels. I suspect that a person didn't make this fashion suggestion. Computers are good with words but not so good with images.
I forgot to add that it also suggested that if I liked the Muks I would probably also love a hot pink bandeau bikini and pink flip flops. Click either image and you'll see what I mean.
Wayne, you make me laugh. I guess that’s
why I never use stylefeeder or anything
like that. I’ve tried a few of them, but
it seems they do nothing more than putting
things into very general categories, like
“shoes” or “lamps". If I wanted that, I can
just to go to a comparison shopping site
and click on the links there. I heard some
places have hired designers to help them
put things into better-defined sub
categories, but everyone’s taste is
different, I can think something is “sexy”
whereas another person can think of it as
“casual". That’s why I don’t think women
will rely on that to find what they’re
looking for.
