Hello to you! I am currently trapped inside the house as there is a blizzard happening outside. It's been another month since I've posted anything and I SERIOUSLY am frowning upon myself for that.

But here I am! For a festive return.

Except not.

I thought I'd put together a little black ensemble for this gloomy day. I hope you like how I styled it. Let me know what you think.

Lately, I've been interested in reading (yes, actual books). Just finished a book by Ira Neimark, which talked about Bergdorf Goodman and Neimark's life lessons. Quite a fun read if you like fashion so I recommend that.

Also been into sketching shoes. I am an absolute novice at this but I want to keep practicing. Maybe when I'm more confident, I will post some of them here for you to see!

As always, have a wonderful rest of the day (or month...depending on when I'll be back, harhar).

Project Runway lovers...Christian Siriano is back with another collection for Payless Shoes this fall. I cannot contain all this excitement.

Each shoe looks well crafted and full of bang, as most Siriano anything is.

This article comes straight from Glamour so click here for the full article!

Allessandra T-Strap
Seriously adore the gold glitter back, the solid gold plated T-strap, and the fuzzy black bit at the front (whatever that material is...).

Probably would reserve it for night outs and dinner parties because there's so much going on but since the colors are quite basic, you might be able to get away with wearing it at formal events by keeping the rest of the outfit clean and simple.

Gabriella Pump
I just think the color is so trippy; it reminds me of a mellow mood ring.

-----------------------------------------------

Arabella
Not my favorite. The glitter is too excessive and the bows in the back look like...suede sacks? Definitely not my style.

-----------------------------------------------

Not sure what this shoe is called? Might be the Aurora based on the link of the image. Either way, am obsessed with this shoe. That triangle-shaped cut out at the front is to die for and the two-toned makes it oh so exciting.

-----------------------------------------------
Juliana
Similar to the first shoe but has faux snakeskin and pony hair accents. I personally prefer the first one though.

-----------------------------------------------

Estella boot
Fiesty shoe. So much character with the gold buckle and the half snakeskin, half pony hair look. I think this will translate so well into the winter.

-----------------------------------------------

Antonella
Absolutely don't like this shoe because of the way the two textures/fabrics/materials were split. As the description in the article puts it, it looks like snakeskin socks. I'm all for socks and pumps but ack, no. Not this.

-----------------------------------------------

Mariella boot
I'm iffy about this shoe because it's not as eye-catching as some of the other ones but it still embodies what Siriano is all about, as a designer. Nevertheless, this shoe would fit right into a closet of leathers, dark washed denim, and furs.

Which ones are your favorites? Let me know down below!


Until next time,
