Shoe Dilemma

As I have said before, three years ago, I am a SUCKER for coned heels. Since I didn’t end up getting the other shoes,, I am having a dilemma:



I say #1 though they are $18 more. But I would imagine 2 would look SO good on. I want both though. Decisions!

#1 reminds me of the Balenciaga hoof boots, which I have no idea how i am fascinated by them.  I wish I had caught the VS Sam Eldeman knockoffs in time (and would’ve made $$$ on ebay while at it).

My best friend was saying she wasn’t sure about these Dolce Vita shoes regarding the peeptoes: “Are you a sandal or a shoe?” But I love them, as I am a SUCKER for cone shaped heels. Oh well, I am not sure that the 7.5 will fit! They don’t look very comfortable.

So I think I will opt for these Nine West platform peeptoe slingbacks, as they look more comfortable though they stand at 4 3/4″ tall.

Turbanband

I know this style is 2 years late, but I prefer not to wear trends at the height of the craziness. Of course Miucca would be the one to bring back a vintage style. I love hats and headwear in general, so naturally the Prada headband that started the craze would appeal to me. Originally selling for $300 two years ago, I think it would be so easy to make myself, and it will be my sewing project. So I found a pattern and plan to try to do and perhaps sell some on etsy. This is before my mom demonstrated how I could tie some simple neck scarves that way. However, I want the want with the elastic in the back like the one Miucca designed:

My mom actually sent me this in an email, naturally she reads the french version of the site. Wonderful french blog.

I’m back! Most fashion blogs nowadays annoy me but I’ve been itching to post stuff. So for now I will be posting periodically again!
