Square Toes and Mirrors...

So I know I posted these a while ago in Shoe of The Week, but the Jak and Jil blog just posted them at a new angle and I want to know what you guys think??

They're definitely interesting... very different. Very Balenciaga.

Emo and Scene Kids

YES, the major difference between emos and scenesters are their attitude. But I don't believe all 'scene kids' have an original personality, as you say 'dont follow the personality'. Yea, they dont follow the emo personality. But they still have one they mostly all have.. they think highly of themselves.

Another difference is, emos are generally natured to black. Scene kids love colors. Rainbows, neon colors..anything and everything!(Although I see emos starting to like rainbows now..xD)

Another thing is the 'obsessions'. Emos love, mostly Jack Skellington, and such things as that. While Scene kids are more into the look of say, Sanrio characters, like Hello Kitty. And also, Gloomy Bear is a big thing for them.

While emos and scenes are close to each other, I think the difference is more than what it seems. It isnt just the personality, but the style too. The common thing shared among them is probably the hair. But scene hair is most definately BIGGER.xD

You should be able to tell the difference, on the spot, from an emo or a scene kid. Guys are harder to distinguish than girls most of the time. But see a guy with a lot of confidence and he seems like hed have a big mouth on him, wearing bright colors, and big sun glasses..I think its safe to assume hes 'scene'. While a guy wearing mostly black, quiet in the corner, walking slowly..well, thats emo. But even if an emo doesnt follow the personality, you can still tell them apart by the overall style.

No Thanks Stella...

I dunno you guys. Sometimes the whole sock boot is cute, but when it looks like this... I just can't back it. If I wanted to wear a damn tube sock in my ankle boot, I am perfectly capable of finding, and if needed, laundering said sock- then wearing it.

What if I was feeling sassy on a particular day and I wanted to wear some mustard yellow socks. 

What if I don't like grey tube socks? 

What if my mother was abusive when I was younger and she would tie my hands behind my back with a pair of grey tube socks and make me watch her eat rainbow sherbet and not give me any? Stella, now you're just being insensitive. 

Anyway, if you DO like grey tube socks, paired of course with grey FAUX stingray (at $1,195 I'll go hunt a real stingray and skin it myself thankyouveryuch)... then help yourself. Don't mind me while I sit in my corner and silently judge you. They're HERE at Barneys.

Now These Are Sick...

Talk about sexy. Wow. These Rick Owens boots do it for me.

I do admit though that that "wings" above the heels are a bit weird, but I love everything else. The shape, the materials, the fit... I think even the wings can be overlooked. I mean, they're so rock 'n roll, it's stupid. 

I think you'd definitely have to be a skinny bitch to pull these off (which I am not...) so I will save these for them bitches. I will however continue to lust after them and might even photoshop my head on a skinny model body and add these boots, paper doll style. Who knows?

PS- today is my last day in China! YAY!

Ground Control to Major Tom...

Balenciaga has gone mad. And not in a good way.

Sorry B, but these shoes are shitteous. I am not digging the trend towards pointy toes. Let's leave that trend in 2003 shall we? I do NOT miss them. Almost the entire Chloe fall 09 runway show had these weird pointy toes. I really don't get it. I mean, I do realize that trends go in opposites (ex: super skinny jeans one year, HUGE flairs the next) but these are just not flattering. I want my feet to look smaller, not bigger and witchier. 

Anway, I don't like these and I can't imagine why you would, but if you do, please tell me WHY.

By The Way...

I ended up buying those flat boots, and they were shitteous. They fit SO badly and looked super cheap. I was really excited to get them too. :(

You know when you're waiting by the door for the UPS truck... like where's my package, where's my package, WHERE'S MY GD PACKAGE!?!?!

Ya... it was one of those. Then I got them and waaahhh waaaaaahhhhhh- sucky. Maybe I should have taken a picture of them to better illustrate the shittyness of them. And $400 something is not cheap. If they were as good as they looked on the website, they'd be a good deal... but for crappy boots? Naaaah.

Anyway, just wanted to clear that up. Don't buy them.

I will say something good about Revolve Clothing though... they have a 30 day return policy and free shipping to me and back to them. That's awesome and will guarantee that I will go back to them in the future. :)

Hello From China...

I'm sure you've all figured that I dropped off the plant. Well, you're kind of right.

I'm back in China slaving away at my now THREE shoe lines. I'm too exhausted to really write but will post ASAP.

Miss you all! Oh, and I hear we have a new president... crazy!

haha
