say hello to my new espadrilles!
mom bought me these around my birthday but i have still yet to wear since im waiting for appropriate weather. they are so comfy being they are Indigo by Clarks, not usually my go to brand of shoes but once i put them on they were SOLD to the lady with metal in both feet and a replacement ACL.
they will be a new friend to the blog very very soon!
happy Cinco De Mayo,
enjoy those salty citrus adult beverages!

Fashion Week Shoe Stalking

courtesy of Refinery29.com
don’t know if you know this about me but-I.LOVE.SHOES!
it’s unfortunate really because i can never wear most the shoes i truely love: heels, wedges, platforms, etc due to foot surgeries and a knee injury. though i do not need any added height, occassionally i would like to be able to pair my outfits with heels as it really livens it up (as well as makes me feel more feminine) but i can only wear what i can, and so i continue to shoe stalk via photos//
leandra-medine-leopard-shoes-mark
The Man Repeller Leandra Medine’s leopard print Miu Miu platforms.
what i love:
the mix of patterns, cuffed jeans as well as the jeans themselves-the stripe detail is pawsome!
shoe-stalking-wendy-wallace-phillip-lim
In Style‘s Wendy Wallace’s 3.1 Phillip Lim wedges.
what i love:
first off, the print and secondly the shape, its like a desert wedge with a twist-something i could actually wear!
shoe-stalking-ramya-giangola-givenchy
Fashion Consultant Ramya Giangola’s Givenchy lace-up booties.
what i love:
the fringe! additionally the scrunched socks, they are a nice touch. something im learning to do.

by Refinery 29
Topshop’s fringed booties.
My FAV,
what i love:
they combine so many things i like at the moment: wedge, fringe, unique shape, fur and all in a booty! if they weren’t about to be out of seaon, i would probably hunt them down.
rachel-comey-by-ryan-koopmans-1a
Printed fall/winter 2011 shoes at Rachel Comey.
what i love:
the pattern-reminds me of Missoni and the chunky heel.
shoes-band-of-outsiders-casting-dan
At the Band Of Outsiders casting.
what i love:
fold over detail as well as the laces going all the way around the shoe, neat idea.
martha-streck-louboutins-mark

what i love:
the cage look, could be worn in several seasons and allows you to see the socks which is also very cool.

what i love:
the wrap around at the top and little ‘shield-like’ piece it makes
SEE.ORIGINAL.POST

aside from the shoe trend in this post i just realized another: shorter pants (all skinny) and most have either a zipper or rolled up. these trends i am all for!
regarding the shoes themselves-though i reallyREALLY love i could not wear [most] of them due to heel height, nor could i even afford-haha
..but like i said, i do love shoes and these make my heart pound a little harder.

thanks Refinery29 for all the feet stalking during FashionWeek for those of us who can’t make it, one of these days im hoping to be there behind a camera shooting my own photos!

hope everyone enjoyed their Valentines Day! i really wanted to do this post seeing as how it involved LOVE-even though its with an article of clothing and not with a significant other..but i was surprised with tickets to the Georgia Aquarium and was too busy. the boyfriend and i had a really nice day which included a yummy picnic and lots of bike riding as we rode all the way downtown to the aquarium-which is outstanding-totally recommend to all Atlanta visitors and residents.

tonight we are doing the restaurant thing as we opted out yesterday and just made a really nice meal at home, so the LoveDay celebrations continue.

this week i’ll be doing more posts of my fashion week picks, wanted to have time to browse through all my favorite designer’s lines before posting-there are LOTS of goodies
**stay tuned!**
