Fashion Shoes. What should we expect from the next season?

Examining footwear models of a new season, one can get cultural shock. But there are strong reasons for compromises and even gentle affection towards bulky boots, to jackboots and to dizzy high heels.

Designers, especially Mark Jacobs and Prada tried to create art-objects of footwear, which you can wear in in theory, but it's better simply to admire them. Those shoes are proving female's royalty and the right to be capricious. Such girls just stamp their little feet, sponges blows, order and stay in an eternal reflection. And fashionable footwear is their best ally.

FashionTime has revealed 9 attributes of fashionable footwear:

1. All kinds of footwear have a tankette or a platform.
2. Extremely high heels (10-12 cm).
3. The narrow noses.
4. Shoes let you "to show" the world your fashionable leggings or knitted stockings, besides they are very functional and will look perfectly even with a dress.
5. With gaiters or leggings you can wear new-pumps, the most fashionable of them are with leopard print and "French finger ".
6. Orthopedic footwear. The rule is: the more original design, the more fashionable. The best illustrators are Marc Jacobs (with a gold tankette), Louis Vuitton (with boots on a wavy platform), Jil Sander (classic men's boots on a platform), Prada, Balenciaga.
7. The colors are grey, black, red, metallic. A structure: a varnish, textiles, exotic animals' leather. Print: leopard, cell.
8. High jackboots, we should wear with short dresses.
9. Extremely sexual shoes, similar to striptease footwear, we should combine them with easy Look dress.

Shoes with the srtasses, the oblique heels, tankettes without a platform is footwear that you should avoide the next season. If you like decorations, use lists, fur pompons and metal buckles and rivets.

The designers confidently tell us, that the fashion is not going to back in habitual channel. So you should better buy platforms, tankettes and very high heels for the future. In fact besides the basic duties they are called to counterbalance volumetric clothes (skirts, sleeves, A-silhouettes). Everything is interconnected.

For Sale By Boner

Some choice eBay and Craigslist finds for your late afternoon.

+ There's just so much that's sad about this post, I don't even know where to start.
+ This may be even sadder.
+ Cute '50s skirt, but does the fact that you wore it to a New Order show make me want to buy it? Uh, no.
+ I love this dude's assertion and assumption that this very jacket is probably "the best piece of vintage clothing on the market today from that era." Easy, killer!
+ This leopard-print dress is, indeed, extremely cute. I have nothing obnoxious to say about it.

Hoodies, Hoodrats and Hos

Dudes, here's something cute for you:

($85.71, Crooks & Castles, caliroots.com)
I dig the chain print and the colors.

Speaking of hos:

($49.99, Fornarina, Piperlime.com)
Are these cute, or are they too Tara Reid?

Must-Have Monday

How cute is this vintage dress?

($17, Earth Angel, Vintageamore.com)
Someone buy it so I can live vicariously through you, okay?

Also, what's up with the lack of comments? I sorta feel like Christina Slater in the beginning of "Pump Up the Volume," before his show got really popular and kids started offering themselves. Holla at a Jew, k?


Talk hard!

You adore her to bits, and you love her personality and acting aswell! So if still want to remain loyal to Chloë Sevigny, give her your vote.

Cute Coats + More Darling Dresses, Dude

Alliteration is kicking my ass these days, nomesayin? Anyway, here are some totally presh dresses and great coats and jackets.


($262.50, Catherine Malandrino, Shopbop.com)
This Catherine Malandrino stars dress is blowing my mind. I freaking love it. And it looked better on Carmen Electra, believe it or not, with all her curves and what not. Not loving it with the black hose, but whatevs. I would rock it and rock it right. They've also got it here, but HELLO! I just saved you over $100 bucks.


($88, Catherine Malandrino, Revolveclothing.com)
I also LOVE this Catherine Malandrino dress, but it's solllld out. Lame. See if you can find it elsewhere, though. I would, but I'm busy.


($47.20, Beau Bois, Shopblushboutique.com)
This gorgeous '20s dress is not only beautiful, but that price is possibly even more gorgeous. A warning: these type of dresses often look better on Mischa Barton bodies. I learned that the hard way. But you don't have to take my word for it.


($128.70 USD, French Connection, asos.com)
I LOOOOVE this beauteous butterfly dress, and due to my recent conversion to the brown side (um, ew. That sounded really bad), I even love this version probably even more than the white one.


($76.99, To the Max by BCBG, okto.com)
I'm not going to lie: this site freaks me out a little bit, but I love this coat, and it was on Overstock, but it sold out. Anyway, I like the British-esque buttoned-up-yness. Very Sherlock Holmes-like.


($74.99, Via Spiga, okto.com)
This looks warm and snuggly but not too super puffy. But again, what's up with this site? Ok to WHAT? Also, they have other sizes but they do that stupid thing where they list them separately. Boo.

Finally, much to my dismay, I can't grab this photo. Boo again. Anyway, check out this rad vintage grey jacket with fur trim. It's on the new Goodwill site and there's only two days left as of now.

No, I'm not all about fur, but look, it died A LONG time ago, okay? And the jacket is OLD. No one's going to go out and shoot another rabbit just because you bought this, ok? Well, ok, more rabbits are probably going to die, but it won't be your fault.

More about this site: it's the new Goodwill (as in the thrift store) auction site. It's sorta like eBay but the only sellers are Goodwills throughout the U.S. But you bid like eBay. I think it's a great idea -- more money going to charity. And for vintage lovers like myself in New York, where "thrift" t-shirts start at like $50, I'm like YAY! More access to vintage.

Here's some more sweet stuff I found:
+ Dooney & Burke bag
+ Cowboy boots, size 7
+ Etra navy blue leather vintage purse
+ Red patent leather (VERY in for spring!) "Miss America" purse
+ Awesome fuck-me red vintage heels and matching bag
+ Hot fuck-me black vintage bow slide heels
+ Rad vintage purple rhinestone necklace
+ Amazing off-white leather vintage boots
+ Sweet blue vintage cowboy boots
+ Vintage Persian lamb jacket with mink collar -- again, sorry
+ Insanely rad size 6.5 vintage brocade heels
+ Vintage black snakeskin bag


Wow. Divulging that much up-for-grabs vintage awesomeness is basically a total shopping mitzvah. Now pay it forward, hos!

Looking at the fashion autumn 2007

The forecast from Chanel.
People who compare fleeting sight at Charles Lagerfelda's crystal ball to travel to paradise, will be pleasantly surprised. In fact Chanel House on behalf of Charles has prepared a pleasant surprise. Fashion addicted, please keep calmness...
So, Pre-Fall Collection is " Looking at the autumn 2007 ". The presentation was held last month in Monaco. Ancient opera house of IXX centuries received the Visitors.
The main tendency in the collection is overlapping textural contrasts. Decontaminated antique skirts from a tulle are combined with simple truncated sweaters and roll-neck sweaters. The glamour of blouses "femme fatale" easy coexists with wide silk trousers of unexpectedly dark blue color … The idea of multi-layerness now experiences a real boom.
Well, a fashionable word-combination of the next autumn is "zero-gravity chik", a glamour without terrestrial attraction!
