Shoe Shoe Shoe!

by cecylia on February 19, 2010

I know I already have 100 or so pairs of shoes…but I cannot help but still have shoe envy from time to time, and if you see the collection of shoes below, you will fully comprehend.

These Alexander Wang booties are insane! They are so hardcore and have a super-hero edge, I love the collars around the ankles. These booties have laces and a zip, how ingenious! Wang is the king of luxe grunge, and we shall all bow down to his royal designer-ship.

Jane of Sea of Shoes and her YSL cage shoes! There is a waiting period on these hot heels, trust her to be one of the first to be trotting around in them! I love the black bows and the transparency of them all.

These crocodile beauties are solid and sleek. I love the mane along the back of the shoe. These heels do the talking.

Ok, a little bit of shoe cleavage. These fantastic strappy heels are featured on Karla’s blog- Karla’s Closet. I love the mock-croc print and the quadriple thick elastics! They are a bit warrior princess meets Cinderella.

Another pair of drop-dead gorgeous shoes from Jane’s collection, Dries van Noten I think? These tribal embellished beauties are a work of art and a fantastic display of exquisite craftsmanship. I would love to walk in Jane’s shoes one day.

You know I have serious shoe envy when this is the third photo of Jane’s shoes- yes THOSE Chanel booties. Jane is well-anchored to the floor. The translucency and the big black bows have won me over, I am head over heels.

Rumi, of FashionToast, she has quite an enviable shoe collection too. I always wonder how she walks around in her ginormous heels, such as these Balenciaga cork platform shoes.

These are Anna Dello Russo’s shoes. Ready? One, two three… *sigh* Adorned with hollies, these Lanvin heels are the perfect accessory for Christmas! Ah, red velvet. I stare, I drool, I melt.

God made man, man made shoes, shoes make the woman.

Please don’t quote me on that.

Sometimes our fate resembles a fruit tree in winter

“Sometimes our fate resembles a fruit tree in winter. Who would think that those branches would turn green again and blossom, but we hope it, we know it. “ -Johann Wolfgang on Goethe

I only became a fan of green a few years ago. I grew up without anything green in my wardrobe as it was my mother’s least favourite colour. Over the years however, jade and emerald have lured me into becoming their friends, especially after Karl Lagerfeld brought the colour back into the fashion spotlight through his jade jewelry. The stylish ladies below bring ”it’s chic to be green’ to a whole new level.

The quilted Balenciaga bag aside, that green cardigan is very catchy, but so is her fluffy leather jacket.

I would be laughing too if I carried a Birkin and had her dress! How amazing is the geometric print! Her dress reminds me of the funky label Antik Batik and her sandals reflect the orange lines of her dress beautifully.

OK, her sandals are probably the best feature, but her floral skirt is stunning too. Simple and chic.

So achingly elegant in this emerald silk dress, plus her red lips-a match made in heaven.

I think Karla (Karla’s Closet) is wearing Animalia Alexander McQueen heels, but it is her turquoise blazer that caught my eye.

Now here is a lady I would love to meet one day – Natalie Massnet, the founder and director of the ultimate online designer destination Net-A-Porter. I love the olive cardigan and Fendi belt her friend is wearing!

Who would have thought that a frumpy green cardigan with a cape attached to it would be so hip on. Together with those two-toned heels, she looks like she could take on the world!

This post is dedicated to Jo (it’s her favourite colour), who is making me green with envy as she is travelling around Europe.

A while back I wrote a post called ‘Kate, never the wall flower’, on Miss Bosworth. With summer approaching in Melbourne, I am embracing the floral trend as the bulbs are blooming. To be honest, I prefer wearing monochromatic outfits but sometimes when I feel like a perk-up, I throw on a floral dress or scarf to brighten my mood. I especially like to wear florals on sunny days. I found some gorgeous girls in floral outfits for your inspiration and enjoyment.

This is the ultimate holiday ensemble. Wild tousled hair, tick. Dark shades, tick. Gorgeous floral caftan, tick. Bright carry-all, tick, Balenciaga, optional. Bare legs with a great tan, tick and bejewelled flat sandals, tick.

This is the creator of he eponymous jewellery label: Assad Mounser. She is wearing one of her creations around her neck- gorgeous strands! I adore the ruffled shoulders and her Moschino heart bag. Certainly one with fashion flair check out her dazzling jewels at her website.

Texting pretty: I guess only a statuesque lady like her can look so chic in a long floral dress whilst sending an SMS. I adore her brown clutch and her ruched boots- who said you have to match your accessories?

This is a beautiful picture of a gorgeuos girl by Garance Dore. This girl is stunning and so is her cute outfit! Love the floral tunic, complete with a studded belt. I particualrly like thisphoto as Garance as really captured the youth and beauty this girl epitomizes, and her twirling hair shows a real sense of freedom of self-expression. I really want her shoes!

This is one look that is easy to follow- easy to pack too! Bring your favourite floral dress and throw on a tux jacket and you’ve pulled off the polished look so effortlessly. And the best thing about this ensemble is, you can change your dress and have the same blazer but you will look different each time! And yes, this is a great trans-seasonal look as the tights are optional.

The mot fashionable teenage on the planet- Jane Aldridge of Sea of Shoes. I posted about her belt recently and here is her full outfit. Isn’t her dress divine? It has all the primary colours in perfect combination. I love her belt (again) and her brown Prada lace-up boots. This girl just knows how to make everything work to the fullest potential.

This eclectic chic certainly caught Elle Street Chic’s attention, with her dorky glasses, denim cutoffs, gorgeous floral coat, cream YSL bag and rock-n-roll heels. 2 thumbs up for her original mix of quirky and fabulous accessories! I would love to know where she got her jacket from

Thanks for reading, start blooming today!

Red Alert

I went to 2 high schools, both of which had me in the Red Houses when I was young. We competed against the Yellow, Green and Blue houses in music, sport, swimming and debating. So from a young age, I had to wear daggy red Polo shirts. But now the appeal of red has returned to me. Red just brightens every outfit and it is beautiful for any skin tone.

Having complied a collection of red outfits from various Streetchic sites such as The Sartorialist, Elle.com, Garance Dore and various other fabulous blog sites, here are the ladies in red. Red really is such a fun colour to wear, don’t you always feel dressed up when you throw on something red? Whether that be a crimson bag, some red shoes, or a garment in scarlet?

My favourite red photo: She is wearing a red jumpsuit!!! I am so envious. Judging by that slim figure, the structured high cheekbones and that fearless stance, I am guessing she is a model- off-duty model. I like it how she’s teamed it up with a boyfriend blazer and leather thongs.

Sitting pretty: the girl with the serene expression- I love her cute brooch and the drapery of her red jacket. Lovely scarf too.

Carolina Engman of A Perfect Guide. She is one gorgeous blonde. Recently she was featured in Vogue Germany, the lucky girl! Ok, so this is more pink than red, but I had to sneak this vintage cape in!

What a lovely wrap! Love her hair and her Pocahontas-style turquoise earrings. This was a Garance Dore photo. She has captured the joy and warmth of the moment so well.

Here is Garance holding her high-tech camera. I love her little quilted mini and those fabulous heels. Her friend has a covetable red Balenciaga.

I know you are robably thinking that she is a little furry…but her red booties are to die for! They’re certainly attention-grabbing. Who’s wearing a furry jumper?

And finally, a Gwen Stefani look-alike. Peroxided hair, tick. Big dark sunnies, tick. Red hot style, tick! I love everything she is wearing. Great accessories- love the blue belt, the brown toe and her awesome 2tone pumps. The backdrop provides a brilliant contrast- beauty can certainly be found in every corner.
