Where Am I?

If you saw the latest runway shows in Paris last week you might think we'd time warped into the 70s. Chunky heels and platforms, funky shapes and colors, and clashes of pattens all over! Burn your bras and drop some acid. Well, no, don't do that.

But do check out these styles from Miu Miu...

And Louis Vuitton...

And Prada of course

What do you think?? Groovy? I'm personally not digging them. I prefer the silhouettes shown last season with nods to the 50's and 60's. More feminine delicate shapes.
Though I will say that I'm glad to see more platforms on the runway again. New York fashion week would have you believe that the platform was dead with all the non-platformed shoes and pointy toe pumps. If you can get a little comfort snuck in with your killer style I'll take it! And we all know a platform is great for adding height without sacrificing comfort.

I'm off to China today kids. Then Tokyo for a quick 2 days. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures and let you know what I see in one of my favorite cities in the world!

All That Glitters is Not Gold

You guys know I'm obsessed with Miu Miu, and lately I've let my glitter obsession get the better of me... Well, luckily Miu Miu does glitter better than anyone. Proof? Here it is....

A pair of perfect glitter pumps.
 This blue is electric! Amazing in person.

I opted for the fushcia. Duh.

Impatiently Waiting for Miu Miu

EVERY DAY I've been checking Vogue.com to see if the latest Miu Miu runway collection had been posted yet. Miu Miu is my current favorite as far as shoes go and I haven't been disappointed... until... today.

OH WHY MIUCCIA!? WHY??

 Not so bad you say? It gets worse.

 ????

I'm sorry and I HATE saying negative things about a designer I respect SO much and look up to immensely but I just don't have any positives here. I don't like the shape, the colors, the details.... I'm so confused!

These ones are the worst! Putty/tan/beige??? A MULE??? Oh say it isn't so!

Nobody asked you Sven.

I need a moment. Am I a shithead for talking smack on my shoe idol?? I need some Milano cookies and a glass of milk to dunk them.

Vroom Vroom!

Love them or hate them, Prada's latest runway shoes definitely make a statement. "I like classic cars." 

That or "Look at my fancy ass Prada runway shoes. Neener neener neeeeeener!"  

Either way, they've grown on me since I started writing this post. First reaction? These are hideous! Especially the first pair. 

Yikes are we back in the 90's where I customized my flair legged Jnco jeans with flames going up the legs?? (true story) No thank you.

But now I'm seeing them as definite art pieces. They're pretty amazing (except the first one that I still hate) I love the brake lights on the back.  The chrome heels... the vintage car color palette. Great attention to detail. 

 Cute bag!

I love this one. It reminds me of my very first dream car. A vintage pink Chevy Bel Air...

What do YOU think?? Too crazy? Just crazy enough?
Do you like the idea of heels as art or do you prefer your art to hang on the wall?

I say it every season... Miuccia Prada is a genius. I am SO excited to see what she has in store for us with Miu Miu this season. She never disappoints.
