Shoe Break

I've been studying nonstop lately (well that is besides the tv and internet breaks, sue me) but I just had to take a moment out of my life to blog this Ruthie Davis shoe preview that she shared via twitter. This whole Ruthie Davis thing is clearly going to become a trend. She fascinates me as a person, and makes amazing shoes that I could never afford (which is pretty much my criteria for liking something in the fashion world). Anyway, less talk, more shoes!

Future DIY?

While watching Gossip Girl last week I became fascinating by this necklace that Blake Lively's character wore. It also appears to be somewhat simple, once the chain-link pattern is mastered. Anyway, I really hope to make my own version once I have the time. Maybe over Christmas break.

A Day at the Zoo

When I first saw these shoes I was unsure about them. Strange was the first thing to come to mind. But after a minute I decided they were more whimsical and fun, as I'm sure they were meant to be, then I'm used to. A break from the clunky black wedges I usually lust after. Of course these aren't shoes I would wear exactly. But I think they could definitely make any outfit interesting. Who knows, maybe the design will trickle down the retail chains and in a year we'll all want a pair of animal heels. But for now I'll just enjoy this delicate and intricate design.

I have a feeling that I'm going to be using this picture as a pick-me-up during the winter season. Super colorful Ruthie Davis shoes. Amazing.

Rustic

These are the kinds of shoes I've always wanted to design. Mostly just because of the heel. I love interesting heels. Although something about these in particular looks incredibly painful. Either way, Jil Sander is a genius.

Tulletastic

There is a reason I typically avoid commenting on clothes, and focus mainly on shoes. When I read people's assessment of the latest lines and designers I am simply awestruck by the knowledge they have of not only the history of the designer or fashion in general, but also their ability to dissect specific inspirations and fabrics. To me, clothes in the fashion industry are this huge ridiculously complicated entity that I don't think I have even begun to appreciate or understand yet. Because of this I stick to accessories and shoes, which in my mind are more independent in that people don't focus on their history as much. It is true that there are still those people out there who know and appreciate them as much, or even more so, then the clothes, but this is my rationalization.

That being said, when I saw this dress I knew I had to attempt to do it justice in a post. I am just obsessed with the combination of the tulle and lace, the sexiness that comes from the sheer lace being covered seemingly haphazardly by sheer tulle, and the structure that comes from the lines on the chest and the shoulders. It doesn't hurt that Blake Lively is wearing it, and she happens to be a fashion favorite of mine.

I'm not a fan of the shoes she paired with it, but I respect the attempt at the correlation with the sheer. But maybe I over think things.
