I'm Kinda in Love with This One...



I love Nicholas Kirkwood and this fabulous platform of his. I think I posted a shoe from last season with this same shape, but I like this on even better. 
I love how it's high up on the foot while still being opened up and sexy. 
The only thing I would change would be to make the upper in leather instead of satin, because I always feel like satin shoes aren't as wearable.
(ex: these GORGEOUS Marni shoes I bought and only wore once before they were ruined by someone carrying and umbrella, scraping the metal tip of the umbrella across my shoe and causing the material to rip.)
Anyway- check out the cool detailing. I love the pop of electric blue snake on the heel. It's sexy and unexpected.
I found these at Browns of London for £470.00

Liberachi Might Have Liked These?


Ok, so I hate these boots. I hate everything about them. I hate the outdated shape, the tacky gold color, the height, the elastic goring on the side... oh, and the heel. EVERYTHING.
Worst part? It's by Marc Jacobs. 
You guys, seriously? WTF? I feel like I'm in a time warp to 1996.
Oh Marc. I love you so much, but these? These are terrible. Maybe you need to get back on drugs? Is that it? Did rehab suck out your creativity out??

Oh blah. Now I'm just being a bitch.

I ♥ NY


Dude... you guys, seriously. 
I've been in NY for the past week and I had an amazing time! I went there for my shoe show (which BTW, means I can post pics of my shoes finally!) and I usually stay in Manhattan in some hotel close to the showroom... but this time I stayed with my friend Ana in Brooklyn (Williamsburg) and I had a freaking BLAST! Brooklyn is so much younger/cooler/fun than the city. I totally fell in love with NY. The shopping was fun and I saw a lot of rad things. I also drank more iced coffee than I've ever had. haha

Ana (Jill Stuart designer) introduced me to a couple of her shoe designer friends. It was so fun hanging out with other shoe designers, since I don't really know any around here. They were really cool chicks and it was so rad to hang out and have dinner and just shoot the shit about shoes and our crazy trips to China and all that stuff.

ANYWAY... here's a little collage of a few of my Harajuku shoes. I hope you guys like. As you can probably tell by the fact that i never post my own designs, I'm a little shy or something about it. I dunno. Anyway- here they are. Enjoy.
:D

Sexy Sexy Sexy!





YSL has done it again. There is nothing that I DONT love about these super sexy shoes. The ankle strap is perfectly positioned and I love how the buckle is in the middle insted of on the side. The shape is sexy and flirty, the materials and colors are beautiful (sometimes gold can get tacky but this is the right kind of gold) and I love a good opened toe shoe. I'm also still loving platforms, even though we're seeing a lot more single soled shoes out there.

You can find these at Browns for about £495.
