There are times when I stare at my shoe collection looking for a simple heel. This always happens when I’m looking for something dressy or black tie. I like these Paloma Satin Platform Pumps by Charlotte Olympia ones because they have a platform and are pretty neutral but the little detail on the heel makes them different.

Ya, these Camilla Skovgaard heels are just little crazy. They’d give my coworkers something to talk about. images: net-a-porter.com
I loved the colours and prints in the spring summer 2011 Jil Sander womenswear collection. I didn’t enjoy the actual clothing too much. It’s the silhouette. It’s too oversized for me and only waifs can pull off such a look. The accessories are amazing though. The prints are so perfect. I was more interested in the handbags. The shoes not so much as they were complimentary but not very exciting to me. Check out the Jil Sander Spring Summer 2011 Womenswear show.

The Star Wars and Adidas collaboration is going strong. The Spring Summer 2011 collection is full of some fun clothing that is heavy on the Boba Fett.

Lace Up Wedge Boot by Opening Ceremony Lace up boots are my weakness this season and my last few shoe purchases reflect that. Opening Ceremony always seems to makes ones I like. images: openingceremony.us
I really enjoyed ECCO’s fall winter 2010 season but a lot of that was based around the boot. I wondered what the ECCO team would be up to this spring summer season. Nautical was the theme and blue was a dominate colour. Â I perfered the casual shoes to the sandals. Â ECCO is following trends though and they’ve added clogs. I’m not a clog person but I like the Swedish Hasbeens for some reason. The ECCO clogs are interesting because they’ve created a sole that flexes. Â You can see it in the above photo, it’s the black area. They also introduced a line of bags at a lower price point. ECCO is bringing back their first breakthrough as a company, the Joke shoe from 1978 from a long hiatus. I was instantly reminded of a pair of Mag shoes I have.
