RUNWAY2YOURWAY: FRENCH DIP

   The French Dip shoe a.k.a the Two Tone shoe has become the it-shoe for the current fall and spring season to come.  I'm not sure if this term "French Dip"  is the fashion PC/correct way of describing this ultra chic shoe, but for me I always associate this style to the French fashion house of CHANEL.  Ladies don't worry about looking like your grandma when rocking your two tone shoes this season because this shoe has been updated with modern details.  Such details as mixing animal skins, spikes, suede, bright colors, metallics, and other great details.  My attention arose when a merry-go-round filled with models rocking the Spring 2012 Louis Vuitton collection, it wasn't the exquisite feminine lady like garments that made my heart drop, Nope, it was the pointed toe metallic two-tone pumps and mules that took my breath away.  Not only the Genius of Marc Jacobs could bring back these shoes but the likes of Salvatore Ferragamo, YSL, Chanel, and Isabel Marant donned the trend on their runways.  Below are pictures of this cool trend (PICUTRES VIA GOOGLE SEARCH):
