BEEEautiful Vegan Leather Shoes on Kickstarter!

There is a gorgeous new Vegan "Leather" shoe collection trying to gain traction on Kickstarter this month and you can help them out!  No One's Skin by Ivana Basilotta uses a grain & seed based "leather" that she developed with the shoe gurus in Italy.  Aren't they spectacular?

I can't wait to see the suede!

Of Latex & Geodes

Wow!  F/W 2013 Couture Season has brought some gorgeous things into the fashion world again and as usual, I loved the Maison Martin Margiela collection.  They struck a cord with my little eco-centric heart by up cycling vintage fabrics, embroidery and dresses, but what really got me were the latex covered shirts, jeans and boots and this:

Thank you, Style.com for the pics

  A Geode vest!  How amazing is that?  Not comfortable.  Not quiet.  But very, very cool.
As for the latex - it looks terrific but is totally unwearable down here in uber swampy southern Houston and probably most other climes also.  'T would be akin to one of those icky "sweat suits" from the 70s where you zip yourself in from head to toe to produce a lose-5-pounds-sweat.  
Just the sci-fi disco dominatrix boots, maybe?

CHANEL dreams = "Chanelarella"

I clicked through - twice - the Fall/Winter 2013 slideshow for Chanel last night and had patent leather cuissardes* dreams 'til dawn.  Some beautiful jackets, coats and perfect silhouette images kept them company. 'Still glowing. In love, in love, in love.  
Of course a good Karlism came with the glorious package, "I've got my feet on the ground, but this collection is up-to-earth, not down-to-earth."

My favorite dress, worn with impeccable grace here by Stella Tennant, is so Barbarella + Chanel it can only be dubbed Chanelarella, don't you agree?  Add a wacky space gun....

Jane in all here splendid glory

 

*Cuissardes - a fancy French word I've added to my vocab courtesy of Style.com.  It translates to "waders",  although I doubt Karl had anything so odoriferous as fishing attire in mind when he conjured them.

Cuissardes - commit it to memory, we're going to see a lot of them...

I'm pretty sure big girls outgrow their glitter cravings, but.... I HAVEN'T, so help me God.  Not when these perfect, crazy Miu Mius are concerned at any rate.

Of course, it doesn't end there... boots are, well... I always want MORE MORE MORE.

Alexander McQueen - but you knew that

I had a no-name pair almost identical to this for years but just was forced to toss them because they sprouted a weird, very audible squeak:-/  I MISS them dearly.  Perhaps these should fill in?  By Burberry

Happy sole, lost soul - Fall Shoe Guide

I'm so tired of summer heat and summer clothes - is it boot weather yet?  (As IF.  98* still today in southern Houston. ergh. gasp. faint.)  If you don't know the Style.com Shoe Guide for every season, try it, you'll like it!  Summer Salvation is here - take a stroll on through and feast your weary, overheated summer sole on the happy offerings...

HodgePodge-y: Marc Jacobs & 50s Chair

This post makes no sense no matter what angle you approach it from, but I guess that's my day today.

First - LOVE this 1955 Chair by Martin Eisler.  I'm not sure it's very comfortable, but it sure is sleek and groovy

Second - Marc Jacobs and the Pilgrim Shoe thing for Fall - what do we think about that???  I just can't get excited.  I do like the cropped leg with them, and they DO look comfortable compared to the monster platform trend, but... hmmm.  The floral textured vamp ones are fun, but still - on the fence.  Pink?  Maybe.  Will have to try on.

Christmas Wish List

Dear Santa:
As always, my stocking wants to overflow with boots (ha ha ha - stocking, boots!).  Do you think you could send these down my chimney... soon? Plllllleeeeeez.  I've been very, very good. 

This is my favorite version of these yet. Azzedine Alaia

I have officially died and gone to BootHill. Alexander McQueen to die for.

YSL Illusion Wedge  I'm pretty sure I need these.  Now.

Always a sucker for sport-i-fied styling.Open toe- perfect for Houston's faux winter. Etro  

 

 

  I'm too tired to browse anymore... but tomorrow is another day.  For now I'm off to dream of dancing the Sugar Plum in new - BOOTS!

Wow! Groovy AND affordable - what's not to like?

Be still my heart!  Absolutely Perfect, aren't they?

Pixie Market - ever heard of it?  Super Duper FASHION!  Looooook at the shoes!!!!!  And they're under $200 for the most part:-)  don't say I didn't warn you - your sh'addiction (shoe addiction, that is) is about to take a  big hit!  I'm pretty sure you'll like some of the clothes too:
