These Giuseppe Zanotti platform wedges are crazy high. They have a 6-inch heel and 2-inch platform. I’m loving anything pony these days and my stance on animal print is slowly crumbling. I really like it when it’s used for accessories. I love platforms and I have a few high ones in my closet. I wonder what these are like to walk in. Any Giuseppe wearers out there care to comment? Available at endless.com: Platform Pump and Wedge images: endless.com
What is there to say about Celine accessories. They are totally covet worthy and getting better and better each season. Spring Summer 2010 is no exception. I love how Celine might have more muted and neutral colours but totally plays up the colour with accessories. images: tooklookbook.com
The Converse Fall Winter 2010 – 2011 preview was held at One King Street in the Vault. It was an interesting venue as it literally was a vault, heavy steel door and all. It was a little to dark for good photos. The Chuck Taylor line is always coming up with new fabrications and colour schemes. I saw corduroy, jersey, sequins and suede. I really like the Chuck Taylor Slims in leather. For women they introduced a slouchy Chuck Taylor in patent leather and denim. They retail $80 – $90. There where so many styles to look at, here are my highlights. Chuck Taylor All Star 1969 Collection The 1960’s were turbulent times. War lotteries and race riots gave way to protests and the love movement. The music of Woodstock carries with it the all the strength and desires of a new and prolific generation who were determined to break all the rules. Chuck Taylor All Star shoe’s capture the radical spirit of the Woodstock generation and pay homage to the artists that changed the …
Fusion Leather Ankle Peep Wedges by Acne I’m a sucker for any shoes made by Acne. These look very similar to Pose lace-up ankle boots, which I love so it’s no surprise these talk to me too. Purchase online at: Acnestudios.com, LaGarçonne.com and farfetch.com. images: acnestudios.com
Town Shoes recently sent this teaser image of some of the new fall winter 2010 – 2011 collections from Philip Sparks and David Dixon. I’m so glad to see this designer shoe collaboration continuing to be a success. Every year the shoes get better and better. I’m dying over the Philip Sparks boots. If only they came in a men’s 6, I would be in heaven. images: courtesy of Town Shoes
I loving the accessories from Maison Martin Margiela Resort 2011. I find that I love MMM accessories more than the clothing. The Resort 2011 collection had some very wearable pieces but left me uninterested. I really wasn’t into the fall 2010 haute couture collection either. images: wwd.com

I’m loving the Object Fetish videos by SHOWstudio. Examining key pieces from next seasons international collections, Object Fetish trains obsessive attention onto next seasons not-so-obscure objects of desire – namely the choicest accessories from fashions favourite names, metaphorically unpicked through film and text. The last Object Fetish video I showed you was for the Fall Winter 2010 – 2011 Chanel Ice Cube Handbags. This video takes on Alexander McQueen’s final Fall Winter 2010 – 2011 collection. The Fetish is shoes. The object is pictured above. The video isn’t on youtube yet so you will have to visit the Object Fetish – SHOWstudio site to watch. It’s well worth it, the shoes is one of the more ornate things I’ve ever seen. I really wish SHOWstudio would have embeddable movies. I’ve also tracked down some images of what’s to come in shoes this fall for McQueen. images: showstudio.com, fashionising.com
These Criss Cross Sandal by Marais USA are my new favourite summertime flat. They are super comfortable and not expensive. I love the discussion and stares these shoes bring. They are so bright and neon. I love it. I picked these up at Chasse Gardee. They carry Marais USA in Toronto and they range in the $85 – $120.
Alejandro Ingelmo is an American shoe designer who studied at Parsons. Shoe making is in his blood and he expanded his great grandfather’s brand, Ingelmo Shoes. Criss Cross Ankle Boots Laminated Metal Pony Boot Wedges I covet these shoes mostly because of the towering platform. They both have an 1.5 inch internal platform. I’m always looking to get higher. They are sleek and sexy though too. images: luisaviaroma
