Piping like a marshmellow

As one gets a little older and a little more wise and old, one becomes all gooey inside like a delicious marshmellow that's just been roasted on the camp fire.  All charred, burnt, on fire and a little bitter on the sides but oh so sugary, sweet and satisfied on the inside.  Piping, it does it to me everytime. I melt when I see it poking out of the leather upper and when it's in contrast colour oh the turkish delight inside of me jumps for joy (especially if it's covered in chocolate like Fry's).  It take's a pair of hands, love and time to it right!

just enough

How very dainty and feminine, bags that fit just enough for the practical gal.  Vintage styles and leather the old ostrich gets plucked out of the mothball closet and a powdery baby pink makes a cute debut.  It's the old Masculine Feminine inter marriage that'sspreading like wildfire across the fashion plans with a strong hint of retro.  Nothing too fancy or overdone for these babes but as long as it keeps their lipstick safe...well now, who's complaining?


Red Booties

I like these Red Booties, they have a real cobbler feel to them, dare I say Robin Hood?  The skill of handcraft artisan is a dying art.  Such a shame but it is so time consuming and expensive.   The coolest thing was that this lassie was dressed in a very 'art/drama teacher' 1980s black  layering dramatic attire and then POW! Red Shoes!

Kid in a candy store

Nothing says 'hello i love ya' more than that of sparkly adulterous footwear.  Dripping in grandious crystals and metallic gold.  Fit for the more fruitful fashion conscious victims...I mean wearers, daring to dazzle us with flair so bright it makes me wear sunglasses to sleep.  HATCHA!

Pope Slippers

Nothing is more sacred than that of the Pope's slippers also known as the humble Loafer.  How fitting of the designer to have the foresight to add a halo and devil's horns.  Good Vs. Evil, the Left Vs. the Right, Black Vs. White, Angelina Jolie Vs. Megan Fox...Oh the drama, oh the tears.  At least in a pair of loafers you can be truly divine.

Women's Heels




The real beauty of the heel is the balance required.  The real beauty of a heel in Milan is the 'can i run in these' factor.  Will I trip and break my neck?  How long do I have to walk in these? and of course, do they really make my butt look hot?  It's sooooo important!

Vintage Dior fashion


Watch this very cool clip from the 1960s.  This was when people wore hats...sublime!
