The Return of the Barely There Shoe...

Like many trends from the 90's, this trend is back. Yes, the skinny strappy sandal that I was more than happy to say goodbye to has returned. Great.

Sure, they're sexy and look beautiful on nice, newly pedicured feet... but they cut into you and cause blisters and pain and let's face it, most people are not walking around with nice, newly pedicured feet. Or they have finger toes. Or bunions. Oh boy.

The above Jean-Michel Cazabat's happen to be on sale at Barneys so maybe go get um? Sea of Shoes's Jane loves hers!

 Oh hey! I designed these pink monsters for bebe and you can get them on heels.com if you'd like :)
Beautiful sandal by DVF. A painful work of art.
Giuseppe always has a skinny strappy sandal or two (or twelve) in his collections



Just beware! This trend is dangerous. Not only to the health of your feet but it comes with a serious chance of cliffhanger toes and pinky poppers! Even the most beautiful feet aren't safe....

Jennifer Aniston I'm talkin to you girl.

New Shoes from New York Fashion Week

London Fashion week is in full swing but it's quiet here in New York. In the aftermath of NYFW a few shoes are still on my mind. Some good, some not so good. Here are my highlights....


Winner!

These crazy ass shoes, shown by Vera Wang and accented by crazy toes McGee on the left, are my favorite so far. 
You guys know I LOVE my tranny hooker shoes and if these aren't... I don't know what is. Proof? Beyonce was wearing a pair in the front row. Girl knows her T.H. shoes.

Another shoe to love are these amazing wedges by Derek Lam. Love.

While on the subject of wedges, I love this DKNY wedge! Feminine AND sexy. I love the abstract floral pattern

These heels by Rodarte are pretty great. They remind me of Star Wars...

C3P0 and R2D2?!

Also, loving this heel cup thing going on. Very futuristic.

There are some definite trends I'm noticing, including a lot of clear vinyl being used...

These are adorable, especially with the neon sock!

These look kinda painful. Ouch.
 (Carolina Herrera)

 No Thank you.
(Marc Jacobs Collection)

Hmmmm, not so much.
 (Phllip Lim)

And although Elle.com called this python, it's actually fish skin.

(Phillip Lim)

Fish looks so cool! I've always loved it. It's kinda like an exaggerated cartoon version of snake skin.
(Alexander Wang)


This silhouette is something we see from a few different brands, though Marc Jacob's version is my favorite. Vintage inspired with a perfect feminine tapered heel. Cute!

The pointy toe is back people!


I'm really excited to see the London Milan and Paris shows and hope that there will be some more excitement there. I'm not totally crazy about many shoes so far. I'm seeing a lot of '90s looking blocky heels (like Phillip Lim's) and a return to single soles (shoes without platforms). Also, the strappy sandal is back in a big way- which I'm not fond of since they tend to dig into your feet. Here's a couple examples of the kind of sandal I mean. Those straight across teeny tiny straps...

What are your favorites!?


I'm going home tomorrow. I shortened my trip by a week cause I'm totally home sick. What a baby, huh? I think I accomplished my goal here in New York... I'm officially re-inspired :)






Love and big fat kisses,

Bunnies and Kitties and Unicorns!

While online shopping for my Fifi Lapin top at Forever 21, I came upon this sweet little satin dress. I can't believe the quality of it for a mere $29.00!! It has this great vintage silhouette and adorable print. I love it.

(dress- F21, shoes- Christian Louboutin, lips- NARS)

Ahhh so cute! I love cutsie little animals!



Oh, and hello! Have you met my friends Maggie? Officially the coolest shoes on the block. Plus if someone gets out of hand I can REALLY hurt them with these toes! (including myself by the way) They are definitely NOT comfortable, which really bums me out... but they're pretty enough to save for non walking special occasions. ;)
How dumb is that? Haha.

By the way... do you guys like the new layout???
