Calvin Klein Collection Resort 2010

When Prada released the chandelier heels, I couldn’t see what the fuss was all about, after all those shoes weren’t made of real crystals. And then Fendi hit us with the Cinderella stripper shoes, which sent Louboutin fans’ hearts a-flutter (purely my own assumption since they seem to like girly stilettoes).



WWD

But this shoe from Calvin Klein (available in a few months?), its transparent wedge is in a different league altogether. If shoes could speak this Calvin Klein would beckon you to her in a deep, raspy voice like Milla Jovovich (while Fendi would go all Snookie-like and say, ‘Yaw look it me, bitches!!’, and that applies very closely to Prada as well).

With that said I’ll leave you to another great pair of shoes from Calvin Klein’s previous season.

This is why I love fall season, it’s the time when shoes can double as weapons; higher, weirder, and so much more powerful.

No I don’t have a photographer boyfriend but at least doctors earn a steady income

It’s been rather cold here in Melbourne, but it’s the perfect weather to bring out the fur coat. No, it’s not real fur, but it’s so luscious that I could hardly believe it’s faux the first time I laid my eyes on it. The boots I’m wearing are the most perfect non-designer finds I’ve had in the longest time, which is good for my wallet. Shall take a clearer picture of them next time.

Sea of Shoes


I know lots of blogs out there are raving about these shoes and I can see why. Sadly I do not have a thousand euros to spare, or I can choose not to pay for my school fees.

Update: I know Luisaviaroma is running out of these boots, so write to customercare@luisaviaroma.com to request for more sizes and hopefully they’ll do something about it.

You can get the thigh high version here

What happens when I get sick of studying

Warning: If you don’t like to read, just scroll to the bottom for pictures.

Ever wondered how you can build a successful fashion blog?

Well you either have to be:
1. Extremely wealthy so you can buy lots of dangling shiny blings and shoes every other day, which is perfectly fine with me if it is all done in good taste, and good taste Jane has. I don’t know why people are criticising her because there are other teen girls who deserve more criticisms like the whole of Gossip Girls crew (too much money, boring tastes). Plus you gotta take nice-looking, highly saturated pictures, so snagging a professional photographer of a mom/friend/partner helps a hell lot. Wait you need to be photogenic and be able to pose too. Think you’re not good-looking? Fret not, plastic surgery is the way to go. Speaking of wealthy people I have seen tasteless blogs that just show off their latest designer purchases, and afterwards take numerous expressionless pictures of themselves, and by numerous I mean more than 10 of the same thing.

2. If money is a problem to you, then work on your wit, and make sure you sharpen it like a sushi chef sharpen his knife. Oh and being obscure helps too. Obscure + sharp wit = WIN (like chocolate-covered chocolate biscuit). Tavi is so obscure and out of the norm that everybody wants to be in her norm. Man I wish I can crack jokes half as funny as hers.

3. Be way more talented in everything than Luxirare. That includes being able to make jackets out of dust, making edible rainbow-coloured crayolas out of dust, and eating those dust crayolas you just made in your dust jacket. This is where Chuck Norris comes in.

Think you can’t really do all that? Well join the club. Do say hi if you’re a returning visitor and have never spoken to me. But on the other hand I’m very grateful for all of you who come back time and time again. You know who you are.

So anyway here’s more deep, dark, grey pictures:






Have a good weekend everyone!
