Back on heels

Shoes! What a joy and what a pain. For a while I've been unable to use high heels because of little injury in my toe (cause: too high high heels). It was hard to bear not being able to use heels, since they are my passion. I didn't even have nice flat winter boots, I didn't bothered to buy a pair, 'cause I thought my toe would be better in no time, but I was so wrong. Anyway it's summer now and no need for winter boots.

Nevertheless I've learned my lesson. In aim to use high heels do not forget to take special care of your feet and never underestimate even the littlest injury on your feet. Be grateful to your feet to tolerate high heels, I'm serious. I think heels are the most unhealthy fashion phenomenon after corsets, but quite powerful too.

In my opinion, fabulous pair of shoes and well done hairdo do the thing. And to be honest I'm not good at doing my hair an then I couldn't use my high heels, I was quite upset. Of course for a "fashion kid", I should have think about flats more, but being so obsessed with high heels I didn't give the damn to them.
Now forced to face the reality I've planned to buy few pair of flats. Hanging around in shops I've found actually quite cool ballerinas. So even if I couldn't use high heels I'll look fabulous. :D

I would like to own pair or two of Chanel high heels and Alexander McQueen's and...
...you know what I mean.

"Why don't you love me?"

Beyonce's new music video "Why don't you love me" (at least I think it's new, I'm not sure because I don't really follow her doings). I'm not so into the music, thought it's okay, but I like the video, quite a fifties housewife style. Beyonce is using some nice clothes in this video and even nicer shoes. I also thought I saw Gaga influences in some parts, but that's a good thing isn't it?

Who hates fashion and why?

On the other day I red Tavi's blog and I run into an old update which is posted 22.1.10, so I'm kinda late to comment it. Tavi commented for Tanya Gold published article in The Guardian "Why I hate fashion" After reading it I also had to say something, even when Tavi's post was way more comprehensive and I completely agree with her. Before reading forward please read the article and Tavi's post first.

In my opinion I highlight: in my opinion (because we could argue this for ages) anorexic models, size issues etc. are not fashion, like some people seem to think, they are fashions nasty by-products which are formed because people misunderstood the ultimate meaning of fashion. I think fashion is when people express themselves through the clothes it's not important whether designer clothes or bought from flea market, it's the most interesting when people combine cheap and expensive clothes. People who dress themselves like they want and feel confident in their clothes usually inspire not only themselves but others. 'Fashion is everywhere' like mademoiselle Chanel said. Since "fashion" started to exist it's always been argued what's fashion and what's not, so don't confuse yourself it's best that you decide what it is to you.



For example check these websites. High fashion and street fashion, very similar but same time different. Inspired by each other.
