Not for the faint of heart.

I have come to a few philosophical conclusions about footwear. One of these theories is that there are only two types of people in this world: 

1. The Fashionable- someone willing to try anything once, travel to another country on a whim, kiss a stranger on occasion, and most importantly blindly instill their faith in Miuccia Prada even when the going gets tough.

2. The Rational- someone who doesn't know how to walk in heels. For this there is just no excuse.

And while I would most definitely like to consider myself the former, I would have to admit these Gaultiers test my reserve.

Why Don't You?

Why Don't You...
..find a new use for your shoes? I honestly believe the outstanding YSL cage heels could masquerade as a divine birdcage. ..DIY an old little black dress? This would be especially lovely if it was body conscious and minimally short. Be sure to use extremely sharp shears and try some shoulder cutouts? Perhaps snip out two large swatches on the ribcage? If this is too promiscuous for you you could reinforce said holes with a great nude mesh a la Winter Olympics. The possibilities are endlessly fabulous...
..fly to Paris, pop into Colette and purchase the Karl Lagerfeld Bear? I cannot imagine a better thing to stand proudly on my dresser and oversee my many wardrobe changes. I love how even in bear form Karl retains his tension in his lips.

Rising Star




I am seriously addicted to the british television series Skins, which is sort of like Degrassi meets Gossip Girl if Chuck Bass was from Bristol and was more into Boone's Farm than Scotch. The real star of the show is Effy Stonem played by Kaya Scodelario, the beautiful near mute and younger sister du jour. While we had to wait through an entire season to hear her speak it was well worth it- and now her star is blowing up. I cannot wait to see this stunning 17 year old model/actress in many more films.

ABOUT THE POUT.





Taryn Davidson is set to be a complete ROCKSTAR. This 18 year old from Canada possesses a strangely haunting teenage beauty that translates effortlessly from editorial to runway and her face contains that pouty carefree youth unattainable to so many. And while she may be a Canadian native, I love the her Americana look- the industry is so flooded with haughty Eastern European clones, and Taryn is a welcome change. Destined for greatness, go TARYN.
