I'm almost positive that I saw this trend in Asia a few years ago but don't quote me on that. The sneaker wedge might be an acquired taste, depending on the types of shoes you're used to wearing.

BENEFITS:
1. The height.
2. The comfort.
3. The casual look.

Okay, so the height is self explanatory. It's a wedge. The comfort part would depend on whether on not you wear heels often. To some people, walking in wedges is a step up from flat shoes but not as painful as a pointy stiletto. That being said, if you've NEVER worn heels, it may be not as comfortable as you're used to a sneaker being.

Lastly, the casual look. Sneakers have always been associated with athletic activity or something to throw on if you're running a few errands...just doing something that isn't really a formal event. But sneaker wedges, because of the shape and height, can make a casual outfit look more put together while still maintaining the laid-back feel.

If you're a shortie like me AND you prefer wearing good-feeling shoes, then a sneaker wedge might be your savior. A nude color will even elongate your legs if you plan on wearing them with shorts or even a short flowy skirt.

Check out the original post here.


The way I decided to style it is with a hoodie, colored denim, and a leather jacket. This was inspired by Youtube guru, Wendyslookbook! I remember seeing it for her Valentine's video and thinking that it was a brilliant way to dress up a hoodie. Since the color of the pants and the design of the shoes can appear very girly, the leather jacket helps toughen up the outfit.

As for all the accessories, it's up to you! It really depends on what you're wearing this outfit for. I think since the pieces are so basic, it makes accessorizing very versatile.

Just in case you're curious, please check out my polyvore for details on specific items featured above.

That's all I got for today. I hope you enjoyed this post :)


Until next we meet,

As promised! Here is my yummy Sunday Shoe Porn post!

Because... who doesn't love lusting over ridiculously priced shoes?...

Speaking of shoes, I bought the most perfect pair of flatforms (finally). They were from Sears by a brand called Trend Report. Originally $35, I bought them on sale for $19.99. Tell me that isn't a steal. The straps are comfortable, the height isn't bad at all, and the color is amazingly versatile. Everything I could ask for in a flatform...for 20 bucks. I almost cried.

I'll post a picture of them later when I get a chance to wear them.

For now, please enjoy these wonderful pictures of flats, wedges, and heels~

Alexander McQueen "Suede Skull Loafer" $645


Charlotte Olympia "Wire Heel Platform Sandal" $2395


Casadei "Cutout Platform Sandal" $995


Pour La-Victoire "Suede-Platform Sandal" $250


Reed Krakoff "Slingback Architect Wedge" $795


Lanvin "Metallic Python Wedge Sandal" $1193


Enzo Angiolini "Timga Color Block" $120


Nike "Free Run 3 Running Shoe" $100


Charlotte Olympia "Ankle Strap Pump" $945


Steve Madden "Traisie" $79.95


Not sure if you guys are completely sick of me posting pictures of shoes yet (I hope not!) but I think next time, I will do a post on shoes that I really dislike/can't stand. Look forward to it!


Until then,

What do you guys think about clogs or clog-like shoes? I used to think they were so ... unusual and just not my thing. But now, I'm kind of in love with them. Especially the modern looking ones. But I'm really into the traditional clog-wedge shoe too. They would look uhhh-mazing with a chiffon maxi skirt or even just a pair of wide legged pants.

KOOLABURRA Khloe $198.00


Such a beauty, huh?


Until next week because I plan on hibernating for the weekend,

If it isn't already obvious...I love shoes. I wish there was a job where all I would do is try on shoes and touch shoes and stare at shoes and breath shoes.

So today, I found a couple of awesome looking shoes to share with you guys!

They are (depending on your budget) a little expensive but, to me, shoes are an investment. If I'm spending the money, they better be something worth buying and something that will look good forever. I'm EXTREMELY picky when I buy shoes. It drives my sister nuts because we always go shoe shopping together and I almost always never buy anything... And then the shoes that I do love, I wear until they die and shatter to pieces.

But enough of my shoe rant. Here are the pictures!

Dolce Vita "Baxter" $189.00


All Caps "Amaranth" $334.95


B Store "Patty 1" $479.95


Dolce Vita "Girtie" $189.95

...I definitely have to own these babies one day.


Finsk "116-107" $689.95


Jeffrey Campbell "Rock Me" $159.95

This one is a no brainer. I love Jeffrey Campbell.


Matiko "Havanna" $219.95


Sam Edelman "Yelena" $134.95


AHHHH. How wonderful are they.


Until next time,

Don't start pointin' guns at me now, I just wanted to take a really small break from doing homework...

Anyway, I was on Ideeli.com and I basically found a pair of BCBGeneration shoes that I think I'm going to cry from. I can't get over it.

They're on sale for $49.99 down from $89.99 and I am extremely gutted that they don't have my size anymore. {cries}

When wedges and platforms make babies, flatforms are born!

Lately, I have been completely obsessed with flatforms; they are perfect in every sense. For short people like me, it's the best option. I can get the height I want without the killer foot pains. They're like flats on steroids. Now, for all you fellow shoe lovers, I know that there are ways to make heels feel comfortable and there is a special kind of empowerment that goes along with wearing those 4 to 5 inch feet assassins BUT I'd take flatforms and wedges over heels any day.

For me, comfort has higher precedence over beauty. If I don't feel good, I won't look good. How can you confidently walk down that bumpy sidewalk without fearing that your skinny little heel will get stuck in one of those god forsaken cracks?? I certainly can't. And with that fear, how can I possible exude any confidence?

In terms of trends, I have no idea if flatforms are super popular. I've seen them at H&M and I'm sure there are other variations available elsewhere. But actually, the first time I tried a pair on, I was at a DSW in some tiny plaza. They were from Big Buddha, suede inside and out, and they just rolled across the ground. Completely easy to walk in. It was unbelievable. I fell hopelessly in love.

I honestly think these types of shoes would look amazing with anything. Peplum skirts, maxi dresses, crop tops, floral dresses, silver jewelry, gold jewelry, who cares?? They come in a ton of colors and heights and designs. I just...love them.

What do you think about them? Tacky? Weird? Let me know!


Until next time mon cherie,
{kiss kiss}
