Celebrity Shoe Lines: Yay or Nay?

I have a confession. I’m in love with my Paris Hilton shoes from TJ Maxx. They’re everything I want in a heel: affordable, cute and super high. But I have another confession to make. When I initially saw them on the rack, I thought they were gorgeous but when I noticed they were by Ms. Hilton, I make a stink face.

I always think of celebrity lines as being cheesy and crappy in make and material.

But I’ve worn these bad boys a few times and they’re super comfy.

While browsing online last night, I came across Jessica Simpson’s shoe collection (this woman has an entire empire including luggage, eye wear, jeans, etc) and I was impressed with a few of the styles. But I still couldn’t get over the fact that I was contemplating purchasing shoes from a woman who didn’t know if Chicken of the Sea was tuna or chicken.

Prices from both lines range from $70-$100. But of course you can find them cheaper at gems like TJ Maxx. My suede Paris Hilton peep toes were only $49, even though they’re currently being sold online for $70.

So how do you gals feel about celebrity clothing and shoe lines? Do you just love a cute design or are you weirded out by wearing a socialite on your feet?
