I’m obsessed with the Balenciaga Fall Winter 2010 Shoes. The fact that they are clunky as all hell and don’t look fun to wear isn’t stopping me. The style.com photos look so clinical. I like these shots from Dazed Digital and Purple Magazine. They have a more “real life” feel. images: purple-diary.com, dazeddigital.com
Skinny Belts by Brave Leather The whole tying the belt thing is a pretty old trend now but I am only now really enjoying it. It’s to the point where I want to wear it myself. That brings Brave Leather into the picture. Their skinny belts you can tie look great. images: courtesy of Brave Leather
The shoes for the Lanvin Fall Winter 2010 are perfect urban warrior accessories. Check out that curved heel. I said the Lanvin fall 2010 jewellery reminded me of Klingons but I don’t get that vibe from the shoes. Lanvin Fall Winter 2010 – 2011 video. images: style.com, eastnews.ru
I went to the Spring 2010 preview for Dr. Martens. We got a look at the 50th anniversary options too. I didn’t bring my camera and took crappy Blackberry photos. They suck so I’m posting the pro stuff. I’m not a big fan of the Diva series. I know I’m not the norm because I’ve heard many positive things about them. Call me a traditionalist. The metallic Docs are hilarious. I think the electric blue are my favourite. So obnoxious. The Tec Tuff shoes have a white sole. They look and feel like canvas, breathable and water resistant. I really like the grommets on these boots. The Triumph boots are my favourite. I love how you can make them slouchy and expose the plaid or tie them up like regular Docs. They also have ribbon laces as well as regular laces. Dr. Martens are available in Toronto at Neon and Get Outside. images: Courtesy of Dr. Martens
Omelle has some shoes for Spring Summer 2010 that I want. I like the snake skin details and platform. images: nitrolicious.com
50 years of Dr. Martens shoes. Everyone has their own story with Dr. Martens (if you don’t, you really should). My first pair were patent leather oxfords. I loved them to death and they were a major part of my “house uniform” in my early high school days. I soon moved on to the boots, increasing the number of holes and buckles. I had a brief period where I was Dr. Marten free but that changed with Final Fashion’s Docs (You can order the Final Fashion Docs online). Docs hold a special place in my heart. They were part of so much joy, angst and body surfing in my life. They are classics that will never go missing from my closet again. To celebrate their 50th Anniversary Dr. Martens are launching a commemorative limited edition footwear collection. The collection consists of two styles – the iconic 8-eye 1460 boot and the classic 3-eye 1461 shoe, both of which are presented in Black and Cherry Red colours – those synonymous with the Dr. Martens brand. The …
Way back in December I wrote a post called “I can’t wait to see the Hublot Depeche Mode Watches”. Luxury watchmaker Hublot is creating 12 “pop†versions of their very popular Big Bang series with one of my favourite bands, Depeche Mode. Each one of a kind watch will feature a different Depeche Mode album cover. They will be sold at auction with proceeds going to the Teenage Cancer Trust. There were no images of the Hublot Depeche Mode watches at the time and I was suppose to check back when the auction happen. I forgot and it’s taken me this long to follow up, ha ha. So here are the watches. My favourites are Music for the Masses and Sounds of the Universe. images: hublot.com, liveauctioneers.com
I stopped in to Chasse Gardee over the weekend. It was a nice day and I was taking the Olympus E-PL1 for a spin. Outside of a runway room I seem too be doing alright with the camera. There are a lot of new shoes in the store so I decided to go crazy with the camera and snap away. A Détacher” are some new additions. I love the lace up wedge sandals. I didn’t remember to make note of the boot brand. They are beautiful. A more modern version of the Frye boot. A little sleeker. LD Tuttle has some amazing shoes.  I really like the ribbon effect and exposed zipper details. The grey shoes are pretty special. I’m not a feather or fringe shoe person but the Tuttle’s are damn hot. The jewellery pictured is from Eliza who is Toronto based. After my Saturday shooting with the Olympus E-PL1, I’m in love. I don’t want to give it back, waaaa. 🙂 See all my photos from Chasse Gardee Chasse Gardée 1084 Queen Street …
I’m in love with Ash’s Lotus Cutout Booties. They would be a fun shoe for spring/summer but I could see myself wearing them into the fall with tights. I heard that Holt Renfrew had the black version but they sold out. Boo.You can purchase them at Shopbop and Nordstrom. UPDATE(April 11, 2010): I saw them in Holts on the weekend. They are not sold out. I didn’t check the price too carefully but they are under $300 I believe. Other stores in Toronto that carry Ash are Balisi, Corbo, Holt Renfrew, Capezio and TNT.
The shoes from the Miu Miu Fall Winter 2010 – 2011 collection are like nothing I’ve seen before. I’m not sure what to make of the spats they have going on. Are they part of the shoe? I see that they are have Velcro and are removable. I think I prefer the shoes without the spats. These shoes are a little bizarre and I can’t see myself wearing them. What are your thoughts? images:style.com
