NEW LOVE: HIGH TOP WEDGE SNEAKERS

Monday, November 12, 2012




I'll just be bunt. 
Last year when my BFF first introduced this sporty-chic shoe style to me, I couldn't stand it. I don't know why, but there was just something about it I couldn't quite take. (Does anyone else immediately think of Sporty Spice?)


I'm guessing that I just couldn't grasp the concept of a feminized version of such a masculine shoe style, but in retrospect, I think I was just afraid of something I didn't quite understand.

I understand now. 

I settled on a good trial pair (HERE) on one of my favorite shoe websites, GOJANE for about $25. GOJANE is a great website for those 'of the moment' trends you can't justify spending a lot on, but want to try out. Now that I've fallen in love with wedge sneakers - maybe I'll invest in a pair from Isabel Marant!


I brought these comfy cozy wedges with me to New York and I can testify to their comfort and wearability. I walked around for hours and felt great, something that can't be said for most high heeled shoes. Another upside is how versatile they are! Dress them up with a short skirt or just wear them with a t-shirt & jeans. 



TUESDAY TREND: ASYMMETRICAL HEMLINES

hemlines


I'm sure, being the stylish and sophisticated woman that you are, you've begun to notice the changing variety in hemlines as of late. Last year we saw the hemline fall to ankle lengths, with full length skirts and maxi dresses. A welcome change from the short, short days of yore. 

Now lets say that a short flirty skirt and a stylishly draped full length had a baby... You'd end up with these beauties. The best of both worlds. You've heard them called Fish Tail skirts, Mullet Skirts, Asymmetrical Skirts and everything in between. What are they? Perhaps we'll never really know - Maybe some glorious product of Alien Technology, but they're so awesome that it doesn't even matter.
