i want: Shoes from Fluevog

Published by

Fluevog has some great shoes this season. I was in the store with Carolyn. This was on Sunday after the TFBB at The Drake. We both fell in love with the Sienna’s and had to try them all. I’ve been looking for a great bootie this year and the Sienna is it. The heels look pretty daunting on these shoes and I thought they would be just another great looking pair of torture chambers. I was wrong, they are the perfect heel height, the platform in the front is perfect. I love a heel between 2 and 3 inches after that it gets a bit sketchy. At L’Oreal Fashion week the L’Oreal makeup show used white versions of the Sienna that were so freakin’ amazing. Unfortunately, they were specially made and will not be available to the public. I tried on the booties below from Aldo a few weeks ago and really liked them. They are made in China and I decided that I have been burned enough. The ban must be upheld.

Viktor & Rolf at H&M – girl on girl violence

Published by

I did not attend. I really though about it for a moment. I’m just not ready to beat people for H&M clothes. Real Viktor & Rolf clothes at H&M prices would warrant me getting into the girl stomping mood. I’d make sure to wear my best stomping boots. I was in H&M on Friday and a sale associate told me the collection sold out in 15 mins. He also mentioned that it was ugly. I did see few pairs of the tuxedo pants left. They didn’t seem any different in quality to any other H&M product. I thought the collection was pretty nice overall and there was a few pieces I liked. The only thing I wasn’t jazzed about the hearts. I don’t think I’ll ever try to buy anything from an H&M collection, even if it was Alexander McQueen. It’s just too much trouble and I don’t care enough. image: H&M

i want…

Fall Winter 2006 shoes from Maloles I featured Maloles shoes before and I just discovered their fall line up. I love the asymmetrical opening on these boots. I bet they sit nicely against the leg and look great with skirts. I’ve seen a lot of these box toe ballerina flats, I love them. These ones look like they have a little face.

I’m out of the patent club

Published by

I recently blogged about buying these great patent shoes. For those who haven’t read the comments, the damn things broke on me after I wore them for the first time. I took them back to Town Shoes and I thought I would get an immediate refund/exchange. This was clearly a manufacturer’s defect and I have a right to a new pair of shoes. Well, I was told that they would have to go to repair first and then they would see if they could fix them. These shoes couldn’t be repaired, I could tell. I was told it was policy and didn’t’ really push the issue. They would go to repair and I wouldn’t have to pay. I was told it would take a week and they would call. Thursday was a week and I had no call. So I decided to give them a call and find out what the hell was going on. They found the shoes in the store and they were still broken. I was prepared to give them hell about …

i want: Urban Soft Flowers by Hunter by Bonder boots

Urban Soft Flowers by Hunter by Bonder boots That fact that I love these modified Hunter Wellingtons is proof that I am totally insane. It makes no sense why I like these. None at all. I like these obnoxious things. Check out the details. The covering reminds me of cheese cloth? Well, you’ll never see me sporting these. They cost a wopping $808. They don’t have much function as a rain boot either. Maybe they are for fashionable gardeners.

Ask a geek: Full length leather jackets

Welcome to another installment of ask a geek. RDLoscher wrote: Where can I find Womens Full length Leather Coats in Toronto! If you can direct me to a wholesaler or a retailer I would appreciate it! Thank You RDLOscher Thanks for your question RDLoscher. I’m not a leather expert but I would start out with these stores Daniel leather – It’s the first place that came into my mind Northbound leather – I am pretty sure they make full length coats but may have a fetish influence. The Olde Hide House Bart Leather LA PELLE KARPETA The Leather Ranch Phil Leather I’d start with this list. Give the stores a call and see if they carry any jackets in the length your are looking for. If none of these option work, you might want to try something custom made. I don’t know of any wholesalers, sorry 🙁 Be sure to check out the Beardmore leathers Warehouse sale this weekend.
