Confessions Of A Shoe Addict

An obvious weakness of mine is shoes. I like to buy them,
stare at them, sleep on them (Williamsburg) or just kill my
feet in them. I am the type of person who will buy a shoe whether
it fits or not. I will go through all sorts of pleasurable pain to wear
a pair of beautiful shoes.

Here are my current favorite summer sandals.

ANKLE CUFF SANDALS:

Maison Martin Margiela
Sandal Ankle Bootie
$595.00 eluxury.com
These are the sickest! Especially the knee-high
version (not pictured). I would probably
wear these all summer if I could call them mine.

But since I can't, the cuffed element lives
on for a whole lot cheaper...


HALSTON Cuff Boot Sandal
£25.00 Top Shop


C2 Canvas Wrap Sandal
$59.99 Urban Outfitters
So good. Love the leather detail!


ZIPPER ACCENTS:
Exposed zippers have been an obsession I've
had for the longest. In school, I did exposed zippers
on my whole collection. My teachers hated me for it.
Of course, most of the design teachers are stuck in 1983
and haven't seen a runway since.


Christian Louboutin Rodita Zipper Sandal
My heart beats twice as fast
when I look at this beauty. This
is the kind of love that last a lifetime.

Matt Bernson Swain Sandal
$198.00 Urban Outfitters
I am a sucker for a chunky gold zipper.






Marc by Marc Jacobs
Zipper rosette flats
$207 & Sold Out at Net-A-Porter.com
I bought a bunch of cheap zippers from
my teacher in April and I now know exactly
how I am going to use them.


STILL FRINGING AROUND:



HACKLE-H.Leg Fringe
£25.00 Top Shop
And finally a complete rip off of
those Etro Gladiator Sandals!


FLAVIO Fringe Sandal
£40.00 Top Shop
And here is the best way to do
the fringe thing this summer.

Spring Necessities

According to Google, it's officially the first day of Spring!
The sun is blazing here in Texas... therefore I really
need this hat in my life.

Susanna Fedora
$10.80 Forever21

I once owned a straw hat in fifth grade... with a huge sunflower
on it. I did, and it was dope... maybe I could add one to this one. ;)



Sophie Ombre Scarf
$7.80
Forever 21

Technically I could make my own and maybe
I might... But this will be a good substitute until I
have the time to think about dyeing before sewing.


Miu Miu Metallic gladiator sandals
$395.00
Net-A-Porter

And my feet want to marry these shoes for the next six months. Sexy.

I need to go shopping... I am sad for new things.

Spring Trends: Fringed Sandals

As I was flipping through the new W the other day I recognized these
sandals from my previous post. Yes, Fringe! Gladiator! Sandals!!! They
are Etro Spring 2008.

Which makes sense since those are Tanya Dziahileva's feet and she walked the show.



Of couse, these got me obsessed with finding my own pair of fringed
sandals for Spring. I found a variety of styles at different prices.


Fringe T Strap Sandal $28.00 Urban Outfitters


Fringe Sandal £40.00 Top Shop
Sorry I don't do conversions this late!


Antik Batik Fringe Sandal £85.00 Asos.com


3.1 Phillip Lim
Helen Fringe Sandal $150.00
eLuxury.com




Prada Fringe sandal $332.62 Amazon.com


These will definitely be fun to work into some Spring outfits.
I would suggest pairing them with a beautifully cut bright floral dress!
Try to keep your outfits nice and pretty since these sandal do have the
possibility of looking too casual.

Or finish off your look with this awesome
Agate Necklace from Urban Outfitters
