Mercedes Castillo

I have been seeing this Spanish designers' name all over the internets when doing online research and by research I mean filling my carts with various dream pieces. What caught my eye first are her shoes...they're just so unique. She also designs bags, ready-to-wear and accessories too, but for this blog post, I'm gonna focus on her shoes.

Let's take a peek, shall we?

I love how the heel of her mules slant. Not only is it aesthetically interesting, it makes me think they're super comfortable to walk in.

And the non linear cut across the foot; it makes for a more interesting shape and lengthens the leg, to boot.

Sick, right??

And speaking of boots, ugh. She's got some good ones:

The shape of the boot + the heel+ the fabric? SWOON

I really like how the opening of the boot is wider and the stacked heel is wooden. Plus the pull on tab with the M? Genius.

I also love how thoughtful she is with details on the shoe:

With the pearl and the velvet and the silver? I can't.

The leather petals?? Stop it.

The leather piping on the sneaker? YESSSSSSSUH.

What I've found is that her online store and department stores don't necessarily carry all the same pieces. What Bergdorfs has is different than Saks and Neimans and Nordstrom.

Her shoes aren't cheap, I've seen price points from $350 to upwards of $700 ish. But I can only imagine the quality of the shoes is top notch. And I don't think Steve Madden or Aldo will be copying her anytime soon.

Are you loving her as much as I am??
