SECRET HUNGER/spring 2013 runway shoes

 

 

 

Ok, I think I'm finally done.  I have finally chosen my Spring 2013 shoes.  Now the stress begins.  Sure I have taken all the necessary steps; I have called my shoe guy, tracked down their availability and even put my name on a waiting list, but I know that it is still possible to fail, even with such preparation.  Shoe buying is so competitive!  Even sharing my shoe choices with you seems like a risk, but I know that in order for us all to really become friends, we need to build some trust and share some secrets.  So...without further ado, here are my shoe picks for S/S 2013.

PIXELATED PERFECTION/preen x aldo rise giffee printed heeled sandals

Jerrmaner and I had a lovely day wandering around the Confluence Park area.  I was eager to take pictures around the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver because it truly has to be one of the coolest places in Denver.

I am wearing a Custo Barcelona belt that I puchased in Spain.  Jerrmaner and I stopped at every Custo Barcelona and Desigual shop we passed in Spain...and 9 times out of 10, we bought something.  Going to Barcelona pretty much resuscitated my love for Custo (which I used to buy all the time in my early 20s).  At first, I think I just felt as though I couldn't escape Barcelona without buying something from Desigual or Custo Barcelona...But looking back, I am happy that I bought all that I did because I feel that both brands really capture the artistic spirit of the city.  And Barcelona has to be one of the most artistic cities that I have ever visited.  Oh...how I love you, Barcelona!

BRILLIANT MISTAKE/alexander wang cecilia bootie

When I think of the name Cecilia, I think of one of my all-time favorite movies, The Virgin Suicides. With that reference in mind, the idea of posing next to a tree seems brilliant, right? While I would love to say that the direction of this shoot was premeditated, I find that I cannot lie to my readers....this shoot was nothing more than a brilliant mistake that lead to a "happy accident". On this particular day, we found ourselves pressed for time and so we pulled over at the Auraria campus to snap a few quick shots.

Why am I discussing Cecilia anyway? Well the name of this particular shoe style is Cecilia and I make it a point to know all of my shoes by their name. I mean after all, we do live together.

Anyone that knows me at all knows about my addiction to Wang. Yes, I know, I may have a problem, but in my mind, the dude can do no wrong. I think that Alexander Wang is to the fashion world, what David Chang is to the food world...they both take things that we know and revive them with a breath of excitement. Cummerbund meets boxing short?! Cummerbund meets track pant?! And tuxedo pant meets spats?! Are you kidding me?! This is pattern making at its best! Plus zippers and fur meet sunglasses! You almost find yourself thinking, "Why didn't I think of that?" But the fact remains, you didn't and he did; therefore, Alexander Wang comes out as the genius.

Dollhouse Vacancy loves you, Alexander Wang!
