Glam heel by Oh DEER!

I think that I will try to put up photos of shoes I enjoy more often. I love shoes and get my fix at my favorite shoe blogs daily. I love reading other people's thoughts on shoes, see what they like and read what their thoughts on the industry are. I was really needing an update at my favorite shoe blog the other day and it wasn't happening... for about 2 days... which is fine... But it made me want to start posting a few of my own likes and thoughts. I stumbled across this Oh Deer! heel at Jildor.com and I love it. Kind of art deco, very glamorous and unique. Not such an outrageous heel as to kill your feet in under 10.

Pretty things

wow, it's been awhile since my last post... Sadly I've been too busy for the world of fashion recently... I still check out my favourite blogs daily, one of those being shoeblog.com. For the past couple months I've been much more interested in shoes than clothes. I'm coming back to clothes though and I'm craving making my own clothes... Gotta finish that 'spring' dress I started way back when and get some other projects going. I have been way too busy, got my full time job with 3 hours commuting a day, plus a freelance gig I took on top of that. I'm desperate to get the freelance work DONE and get back to my life and plan my wedding... I did pick up a 'changeinto' pair of shoes for the big day a couple weekends ago. Since my wed shoes are 4 inches tall I wanted something with a very low heel to switch into in case my feet get tender. They had to be black. I found a pair of shiny patent quilted flats with a low heel which seemed perfect. They fit the theme of art deco, 1920's, mimicking something Chanel of the time.

I also decided on a pair of satin black gloves, they go to the elbow but not past and they have a gorgeous beaded design on the front. Picked those up at Fashion Crimes.

On my craving for shoes and taking advantage of the spring/summer sales going on right now I finally aquired a pair of sandals without a giant heel on them for summer strutting. They make me feel like a superhero:On the same day I picked up the gloves I got these babies; black n blue tiger striped skinny jeans by Criminal Damage at Change Room on Queen. I love them!A headband I picked up at Urban Outfitters yesterday. Looks great with a pony tail or pulled back hair, also good with hair down.

I have been noticing feathers more and more for sale as items to wear... I saw a lot of this at Urban Outs. On shoes, earrings, hair clips, headbands, dangling from Minnetonkas, adorning hats... I've seem them at a bunch of places and I actually picked up a feather headband way back. I feel a bit bad though, do we really need feathers on so many items? I think some faux feathers need to be created, for the sake of the birds getting all their feathers plucked... There's faux fur and pleather so why not imitation feathers? And what is with all the swede shoes? They are lovely but, hey I live in a place that SNOWS in the winter and rains in the summer... So I have swede shoes but what the heck am I meant to wear in the precipictation? I've been on the hunt for some nice rain boots for awhile now too... I think most of them are ugly and bulky... I found one gorgeous pair but they were $400 something, I'm thinking like $50... It's tough to find a pair you can fall in love with...
