Clunky Chunky Shoes!

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011

Although runway shows such as Valentino have shown us a more petite side to women’s shoes in the form of kitten heels and dainty designs, one of my favorite style of shoes that surpasses any seasonal trend has to be the chunky look of the platform shoes. More prevalent in Europe than the good ‘ol States, the chunky platform shoes come in a variety of styles for anyone woman to dare wearing!

Many may perceive the large platform of a shoe to be overwhelming and painful looking, the cushion the chunky platforms on thigh high boots and women’s ankle boots actually give our feet some loving and give us a big cushion in which to rest our tired soles. In terms of comfort, chunky platform shoes may look alarmingly cartoonish and uncomfortable, but they happen to be one of my favorite pairs of shoes to walk around in. When planning ahead to an all day activity, it’s hard to look fashionable at times when your comfort is at stake. For instance, come time to do an all day shopping spree, you’re not going to grab your fabulous pair of high heels. No, you’re more likely to grab flats or even your sneakers.

But I am telling you now ladies, that the chunky platforms can be your mall guide too! Now since the platform of the shoe is larger than life itself, it’s fun to push the envelope further with wild design and textures too. For example, try a pair of thigh high boots in a slick animal print with a crazy platform. With any type of busy print, the rest of your outfit should stay relatively calm and simple so your shoes can stand out even more. When wearing thigh high boots, also try to wear a pair of shorts or a skirt to show that sliver of skin between your boots and your clothes.

Another fun option I definitely play with are black ankle boots. Women’s ankle boots are fun in and of itself, but when we mix it up and put a chunky platform to it, they immediately stand out than being more fun and full of personality compared to your average pair of black ankle boots. So have fun with these styles and take risks with your fashion and embrace the new/old trend that’s going to always be on step ahead of the rest.

Fashion Setters in Leather Shifters!

Monday, May 16th, 2011

Do you ever have one of those days where you wake up, stare at your closet, and think I have nothing to wear! Fear not my ladies, all it takes is a little inspiration from the runway to liven up your drab mood and bring out the fabulosity that lies within every woman and out comes all the fun women’s fashion clothing and black thigh high boots to play!

Yes, it was a sunny day when I decided to fare the weather and go outside for a quick coffee date with my sisters. But little did I know how efficient my black thigh high boots would become in keeping my body at just the right temperature while keeping my outfit at maximum chic! But what the best part of this whole ensemble was, just browsing through some fun runway fashion and coming across this great black leather jumper from Michael Kors’ latest runway show. While looking through my own collection of dresses, I found an old rendition of the leather jumper so I pulled out my own dress and black thigh high boots and bam! Michael Kors is now officially in my closet and ready to go!

Leather has become the new cotton for fashion as of lately, and we can’t hate on its glorious smell and tough texture as we rummage through our textured clothes looking for something fun and flashy. The black leather jumper has come in all shapes and sizes to work with any body type and essentially become a shift for most women as it sits comfortable on your frame and works with your shape to give you the ultimate biker chic look that’s ready for the bar or the runway.

What’s even better, is this excellent piece of women’s fashion clothing can be worn in a variety of ways for you to have fun with. On a hot summer day, you can wear it as is. On a colder more brisk day, try wearing a tight long sleeved black shirt underneath, but please don’t ever forget the thigh high boots. The reason is, with the perfect length of the black leather jumper, showing leg is always an option, but keeping things chic with a pair of thigh high boots takes your outfit beyond any casual jumper-look and brings it to the runway level. It’s funny how a pair of shoes can make such a big difference, but this is exactly why fashion and shoes are so much fun, right ladies?

In the world of fierce colors and dramatic shapes, Givenchy took a step back with their Pre-Fall collection to take us back into the quieter, more natural shade and look of urban life. We’re talking our favorite earthy hues mixed with tight thigh high boots that are laced to the top of your knees and slick clean lines that give this collection a timelessness air and your seasonal clothes a run for their money.

There always needs to maintain some balance in the world of fabulous fashion, so while other designers are bringing out their bright reds and blues, we rely on our other favorite houses to bring to us a more demure tone in their collection so to suit our varying moods and fashion senses.

The Givenchy Pre-Fall collection is for the urban girl who knows how to keep things looking relaxed without looking sloppy.

White As Snow

Thursday, November 18th, 2010

One of fashion’s pieces of women’s apparel that works more of an accessory than an article of clothing, is our beloved fur. Whether you like fur or faux, this lovely texture can go magically with next to any winter getup and any pair of your favorite fashion boots.

The greatest contrast of colors that I think looks best on any woman, is between the classic colors of black and white. When I see any woman wearing white fur, it’s usually always with a hint or a flood of black textured clothing to go along with it. With the winter weather creeping up on us, you can stay warm with this bundle of fur and a fabulous pair of thigh high boots.

In the streets of Europe, with Fashion Week coming in and out of the major cities, models and fashionistas alike were seen strutting down the streets in this luscious fur coats and vests. In-demand model Abbey Lee Kershaw brought out her white fur coat with a long white sheer dress underneath. Not to fail the clashing of the color spectrum, she wore a pair of black fashion boots underneath to give the fair shade a bold ending.

And winter’s favorite women’s apparel pieces are new pants come in the form of leggings and the newly coined jeggings. Why not wear these stretchy little comforts with a comfortable sweater, oversized or fitted. Throw on the white fur on top to create a nice bulk to your shape and give you some warmth to walk around the chilly weather throughout your day. Whether you choose to wear thigh high boots or high heels, any drastic shape to your shoes can immediately glamorize your casual outfit.

A bigger trend in white fur, has been to find a beautiful lengthy knee-length coat to wear atop a sheer pair of stockings or leggings. The fullness of the fur coat makes it look like the coat is a dress in itself. You literally don’t have to worry about what you’re wearing underneath when the coat is the main showstopper.

But if you insist, I believe any black sheath dress, or a pair of leather shorts and a black sweater would look great underneath the white fur. A clean pair of stockings without patterns or lines looks classy with a pair of suede black ankle boots to top it all off. With so many ways to wear this white fur, take advantage of it coming into your line of vision as it’s sure to make its comebacks in the near future of fashion as well!
