I can't wait for this week! Why, you ask? (Or you should be asking.) Because I doing my senior year photoshoot!! I've designed 6 different styles of ORAD tshirts, each reading "Sen10rs" because 2010 is our graduation year. The tshirts sell for $10 each, and $7 of each tee purchased goes towards the Class of 2010 for prom, class trip, class gift, etc. I would say all $10 go to the class, but then I would go broke (: I need 2 seniors girls and 3 senior boys who have Period 7 free to go model in various locales around the school... my art teacher is probably going to kill me for taking everyone out of their classes, but this is kinda important. The results from the shoot will be posted online as soon as they are editted.
Now, with only 18 days until womenswear Fall Fashion Week in NYC, it's time I (try to) embrace this SS10 (despite the fact that I hate it) and give you my opinion on....duh duh duhhh...this season's shoes to buy!!! I may not have liked the clothes much, but designers from Qupid to Alexander McQueen put out some seriously haute footwear! I'm ordering these babies from most affordable to most outrageous, so get ready! (:
Qupid Taupe Faux Leather Stud Peep Toe Ankle Booties, $19.99.
To be worn with leggings, pants, shorts, dresses, anything. These booties have the rock edge that was dominant in the fall, but look awesome in the warmer months because of their nude color. Despite their 5" height, these shoes are incredibly comfortable. Edgy, flattering, and above all, affordable! I have a pair in black, and have these nude ones in the mail :3
Vivienne Westwood Melissa Anglomania Wing, $190.
Can you say OMG adorable?! Westwood has designed a new shoe label called "Melissa," and these are the debut pair, shown in her Red Label show during London fashion week. Another epic fact: in case for some crazy reason you get tired of these shoes, they are 100% recyclable! (: On sale this month. Get in line behind me (;
Ashish for Topshop Leopard Wedges, $300.
I drool whenever I look at these. These are quickly gaining worldwide popularity and can be seen on the feel of about 50% of the fashionistas at lookbook.nu . So outrageous that they're fabulous! Slightly out of my price range sadly ):
Gucci Daryl Platform Sandal, $930.
The geometric cutouts and shapes that make up these heels are fabulous. Their precise, sharp look is incredibly chic, and their 4" inch makes them (somewhat) wearable by more women. They look, and are, quite expensive.
Giuseppe Zanotti Zip Cuffed Jewel Sandals, $1360.
Absolutely show-stopping heels! These initially were designed for Balmain in its SS09 collection, and this spring they have reappeared bearing only Zanotti's label. These shoes are worth the investment for their timeless glamour and sophistication.
Nina Ricci Lace Booties, $1392.
Carrying the ankle bootie trend into the spring, Ricci creates a feminine, lighter version of the previous black hard rocker look. I can't decide what I love more, the lace front and tie, or the curved heel! These come in pink, white, and other pastel hues. It's too bad the price of being cute and girly is this high.
Alexander McQueen various heels, $1000+.
Certainly the most wild shoes of the season. Recognize the pair on the far right? Lady Gaga wore them in her "Bad Romance" video, and the pair in the middle too for that matter! These heels are only for the most daring of fashionistas, as well as the most loaded. Not to mention they can only be purchased upon special request...
Love love love em all (: So get shopping Leute! Tschüs für jetzt (:
