Still looking

What exactly is work-appropriate or isn't?

TORY BURCH
Style:	BRIA
Our Price:	$325.00   $162.50

Heels for work

A nice compromise:

 

Kate Spade  

Karolina

Camel patent

$298.00

These are okay for work, right?

What about these:

 

Hive and Honey 

Lorna  

$89.00

Actually I'm pretty sure this would be pushing it. Mos def not okay.

Heels of prey

Finally, a pair of heels I'm genuinely terrified of:

McQueen, obviously.
But the real question is, where do I get that lovely jumpsuit?

Juxtaposed with some pairs I'd like to wear, from least to most probable:

Fendi

Prada

Devi Kroell

OK, that's enough for now. I'm clearly procrastinating studying.

More funky pants

I love both of these pairs of pants/shoes from UO. While G works on her white pants, I'm looking for a new crazy pair that I can play with. The first pair are Levi's and are only $58, but I need to wait and see. The shoes are really cute, too! The second pair of pants I feel like I could maybe make if I knew how to sew. And if I were willing to fool around with a pair of old jeans. Which at this moment, I don't have time for since I'm supposed to be studying for my Japanese culture midterm right now...damn you, Fujiwara!

Shoes--Christian Louboutin

Acrobats of God

These look kind of comfortable...

Another one

 

Elizabeth and James Mason, $350

Platform heels in my favorite color.

Want

Want want want want:

 

Moschino Cheap & Chic Henry Oxford, $300.00

You know how long these beige suede shoes would last at Dartmouth, between the weather and lack of consistent pavement? That, along with the price, is why they're aspirational shoes for now. ^_^

Those Burberry Heels

Aggy fell twice on the runway at Naomi Campbell's Fashion for Relief show because of these seven-inch Burberry heels!

She tweeted, "1st show of fashion week! Took a tumble! Got up! Fell again. Should have stayed down the 1st time. Twice! WTF! Ouch my knees!"

Found Invisible Shoe

Remember these mirrored shoes I posted a while back? I found them again on another blog and they're called the "Invisible Shoe" by Andreia Chaves, one of several "footwear concepts" she's created. Read about it here:

Topshop Spring Collections

I've never stepped inside a Topshop, but these pieces look awesome. This is totally taken from NYMag's The Cut blog, so here's the link.

Actually, now that I look at them more, the only thing that really stands out to me is the pair of shoes in the first photo. The model just "looks cool," as if to say 'Yeah, I wear spiky jackets and ripped clothing. Eff you. They keep me and my inflated ego comfortable.

But how gorgeous are those shoes? Georgina and I are very alike in some ways (ok, many ways).

More Burberry Heels

I know I post about shoes too often, but ... could you die? Over the past few years I've noticed that Burberry makes the most to-die-for heels and wedges. You'd never expect it either, from a seemingly prim and proper company (or rather, stodgy and commercialized -- or at least ubiquitous -- to be unflattering). The shoes hit the perfect note in terms of height, materials, subtlety, and sexiness. It's almost better because it's unexpected of Burberry. I can't imagine someone wearing these and not feeling fabulous. Er, unless you don't like high heels. Whomp whomp.

Believe it

Q: Remember how I always say shoes are an art form?

A: See title

I have no idea who even makes these. I suspect they're a prototype of some sort.

My younger sister commented, "Those are the SAME SHOES my Barbie had! The same heel color too!"

I'm sure Prada would love to hear that.

One of my favorite of many favorite color combinations.

Pierre Hardy aces it.

The Acne bootie for this year? Just as I was starting to love last year's with the little mirror along the bottom of the platform!

I actually think I like last year's better. Here it is:

Shoes Tumblr

This weekend, Fay recommended a new music site to me which her friend recently introduced to her (Skreemr), only to have me respond: "Yeah, I added that link on the blog ages ago, did you never see it?... did you friend happen to find it on OUR BLOG?" Lolz all around. In that light, I'll make a note from now on when I add a link to other blogs on the side menu.

Here is an amazing one to peep at aspirational shoes:

http://shoelust.tumblr.com/

I'm not 100% sure what the tumblr program is, but I'm so happy right now that it exists.

Here are two featured shoes of note (ones I particularly like/would enjoy owning):

1.

Immediate thoughts:

1. Reminds me of faceted jewels

2. Reminds me more of Polygon from Pokemon

Okay, so I might have thought the latter one first. Hush.

2.

 I just want to try these on, no harm no foul.

Until someone breaks an ankle, that is.

Ahh, okay just a few more:

3.

These shoes aren't all THAT special, but could you just imagine how cheerful you'd feel every time you wore these super sparkly heels?

I mean come on, they're bejeweled!

4.

Not unlike this pair from Brian Atwood here.

I'd imagine this is instant happiness in a shoe, if such a thing exists.

5.

I love bows, particularly on shoes.

This entry in a nutshell: I really like colorful, clever, sculptural shoes. Sometimes with bows. This was a rather self-indulgent entry, I realize.

Nicholas Kirkwood

makes some of the most architectural, beautiful, interesting shoes I've seen.

Sick silhouette exhibited in the entire Autumn/Winter 2009 collection. Well done. Proof that shoes can always be reinvented.

edit: haha look what else I've found online [after I posted my comments]: Nicholas Kirkwood debuted his shoe collection in 2005, and has been a force in the industry ever since. His shoe philosophy follows:

“It’s about silhouettes… It’s about the shape of the last and about the shape of the actual pattern that’s drawn onto the last, and color or material combinations. I don’t use anything that’s stuck onto the shoe. In certain ways it’s architectural, I suppose. Old-fashioned buildings like to be very decorative on the outside, but the basic shape is still a block, whereas modern buildings are more concerned about the actual shape of the building itself, rather than what’s put on as ornamentation. That’s sort of the way I try to think of my shoes in a sense, especially when it comes to the heels.”

Burberry

I love their jackets. I love their perfumes. And now... THEIR HEELS.

And this dress. I think it's just made of sparkles and all that is good and Burberry. Amen.

Bootz

O.M.G. LOOK AT THESE BOOTS!!!
Beautiful shoes are an art form.

Christian Louboutin Dillian Flower Pump

Here's a new game: what does this new shoe by Christian Louboutin most resemble?

My ideas are:

-Mitochondria
-Intestines
-Flower
-Flamenco Skirts

What are your ideas? COMMENT!!!
(Georgina and I had a laugh about Bloomingdale's recent email "New Louboutins Have Arrived!"...I wonder who in the world is that desperate for them right now?)

Jimmy Choo at H&M

OMG! Jimmy Choo is releasing a capsule collection at H&M... ok, this is a collection I can get behind. I can't wait to see the to-be-leaked photos. It will be launched in 200 H&M stores on Nov. 14. Unfortunately, there are currently 0 H&M store in Hanover.

Oof [Calvin Klein]

So I know the blog has run a little shoe-heavy (pun unintended) recently, but how perfect are these heels? This is so Calvin Klein. Now they're not the sexiest or hottest or most creative or mind-blowing heels I've ever seen, mind you. They're just an excellent example of when Calvin Klein do what they do best - simple, minimalistic, excellent material and shape, high quality and wear-ability. I see this being a good investment shoe - thick, stacked heel, most versatile color, and moderate enough for most events. And they're not even that expensive at way less than $100, on sale now at piperlime.com. Yay!
