hold up your foot!

could it be my truth
as the theory goes
its was all a hoax
why do i always have to wake up with that new day dawning?
baby i know the game
baby i know the feeling
it doesn't add up
you're not thinking clearly
in the heat of the night
you made a mistake
hold up your foot!

soul trader

Kurt Geiger pumps

original designs

he makes other shoes jealous...

by always letting his play dress up!

birdcage tulle

platforms and bows

metallic and skins

mirrors and baubles

suede and beadings

perforated, patent and plaid

why must all the beautiful shoes hang out in the UK without me?

mount olympia

on this sunday morning
i awoke from dreaming of shoes
marvelous towers to the sky
then had to explore the new queen
Charlotte Olympia
her shoes are stuff that dreams are made of
platforms of whimsy
woven in webs of magnificent colour
on all the celebrity feet out there
wedges, and edgy blocked platform pumps
i've showcased her clear candy-coloured perspex-heeled pumps before
but feast your eyes
and torture your feet
with these

pillars to the sky

shoes never go out of style
really
handcrafted
pieces of art
breath of fresh air
they can make or break an outfit
they always stand on their own
especially the cream of the crop
the best of the best

constant life fashion moment

Obsession of the day
Anna Dello Russo
Editor in Chief of Vogue Japan
Italian bred slim beauty
Gawker reported today that
She lives in excess, during recession
(Fashion knows no recession nonsense)
just like all of those stunning Vogue shoots that we ooze over each month

She has a one bedroom apartment in Milan
devoted to her wardrobe

FIERCE

I mean we
already
knew
she
was
OBVIOUSLY
but now
She is just
OVER THE TOP
OTT
Over 4,000 pairs of shoes

(probably each worth more than my rent HA)
To spend a day in her Louboutins, sigh
And 250 tuxedo jackets......um.....I have two (and I thought that was a bit much)



The quote to end all quotes:
"New purchases get front-row treatment in the main walk-in closet, next to her leopard-print bedroom. A zoolike collection of exotic fur coats ("It's been a bloodbath-furs are my weakness," she admits) is maintained in labeled cloth bags, while a season's lesser models get relegated to nonslip hangers in the nosebleed back row. Once the season ends, everything is cleared out (except for the furs, which are exempt from expiration dates) to make way for new loot. Depending on the evicted item's star wattage, it may go next door, to apartment number two, from which it may or may not emerge. Or it may be exiled to a giant closeted basement: the fashion graveyard."



She lives in Fashion Magland
Her life is one long...
Perfect Fashion Moment
Endless spread shoot after another
from every expressive saturated angle
She really is flawless, extreme fashion forward.
She takes risks (unlike Anna), but keeps the looks edgy and sexy. (Unlike Carine)
Her wardrobe is a Vogue closet
damnit.
I am so jealous.








how can you not be massively inspired by her?

PUMPS

pumps PUMP IT UP
Pump a fashion jam, that they will really hear
but only if
if you are wearing a pair of this beauties
sky high
if you are wearing these
pearly patent plastic
platformed
whether the heel is chunked, stacked or stiletto
your legs will look amazing
you will feel like minnie mouse, betty boop and jessica rabbit
all rolled into one
its doll-faced glamour
lady like naivete
that says FUN
still classic
surprisingly comfy
and always stylish
right down to your toes

damn.
i love pumps.
a lot.

We're decorated

We make an ornament
With gold and silver plating
So whats the latest .....

Miu Miu's in Action
Elena's feet captured on a night out on the town.
Major!

While I light a fire in your new shoes
Let's hope that your soles don't burn to the floor

I LIGHT THE FIRE.

[lyrics from Kaskade's Fire In Your New Shoes featuring Dragonette, it too is major like these zapatos. can we hear a summer anthem approaching? why but of course.]

What's that sound?

I like that sound.
I love that sound.

It's the sound of my shoes.
Funky shot from backstage at Dolce&Gabbana this year.
The colours.
The textures.
The jewel tones.
Oh those ankle straps!
Swoon.
Seriously shoes always take my breath away....
if you haven't be to the Swide Mag site for D&G you have missed out....
Great articles and fashion. SO infrequently I plug a site. But this one is quality, its like a true glossie but online, it still retains some of that grand old 'timeless' quality of magazines...that the internet is slowly stealing away from us.

......these shoes stay on my feet.......
i heart Tiga. As well as D&G

only amongst the ladies

after a lovely ladies day out
just wanted to post a favourite pic from the sartorialist
beautiful and simple
a moment between friends
switching shoes
makes me smile everytime
[and i love that little run in her stockings, so real.]

inspiration

sometimes comes to us cuddled up into a little fashion comfort ball
or from the style that our friends see within us
and our fabulous wardrobes

love your shoes lis.

hotel massacre

photo from the Claridge's hotel suite, with Kurt Geiger shoes tossed about
i love this image.
the unmade bed. the empty bottle of champagne. feet dangling over the edge of the 1000 count sheets.
the sexiness, the potential, the spontaneity of hotel rooms.
anything can happen in them
then that visual of beautiful, dress shoes taken off beside the bed
thrown about in passion
amazing.

[hopefully something i will be able to replicate in a few weeks time.]

more brilliance. oh the lusty indulgence that oozes from these visuals. room service of stunning footwear.
