http://www.shoe-gazing.com Wed, 27 Jan 2010 08:38:00 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en You may have noticed that I've been pretty absent for the past few weeks. I wanted to wait to see how I felt about this before I made it "official", but I think I'm making the right decision. I've decided to put the blog on a hiatus. My life is pretty ... http://www.shoe-gazing.com/2010/01/27/time/ "That’s the thing about fashion: You can use it to hide, but it’s only magic when you use it to express who you really are." -Kate Lanphear. http://www.shoe-gazing.com/2010/01/20/quote-of-the-day/ At the top of my spring shoe wish list!! I have a great liking of beetles, and the shiny, metallic-y pumps, with their amazing metal heels, are just the shiny exoskeleton I need for my feet. http://www.shoe-gazing.com/2010/01/14/jil-sander-ss-10/ This is what I think. I think that just because I feel like crap, because I feel like I can't function anywhere near properly, doesn't mean I can't put on clothes in the morning. Lots of people, including myself, have a tendency to reach for sweats when they feel bad, ... http://www.shoe-gazing.com/2010/01/14/something/ I got my beautiful, beautiful Dries Van Noten sandals a couple days ago, they're so different than any shoes I currently have. I've grown to like slip-on type shoes (these, clogs, etc.), there's something about them I find appealing these days. I decided to be totally weather inappropriate and throw ... http://www.shoe-gazing.com/2010/01/13/dream-on/ This delicious Toga skirt may not be the frothy frills I'm yearning for, but I love me some pleats, and it would definitely fit perfectly into my closet. For someone with dissociative wardrobe identity disorder, it is oddly difficult to break from old habits. It may be the convenience and satisfaction ... http://www.shoe-gazing.com/2010/01/10/baby-steps/ It figures that the day after I write about incorporating more frills and colors into my wardrobe that I'd be wearing only black and white, but I couldn't help but think that my new Ann Demeulemeester deserved to be worn (at least once) with Mlle. Demeulemeester's signature black and white ... http://www.shoe-gazing.com/2010/01/07/poney/ My new pony hair Ann Demeulemeester boots came today! I was so excited when Alex gave me the box, I put them on immediately and wore them all day; I didn't even change. But it was fine, because these boots go with everything! I've been craving pony hair, and these ... http://www.shoe-gazing.com/2010/01/06/new-ann-demeulemeester-boots/ I've never been a person who wears a lot of frilly, girly clothes, but the recent spring collections, along with my (sort of) boredom with staid, dark clothes, have me craving frothy, ruffly creations. Not your average ruffles and frills, but the sort of over-the-top, extremely textured, voluminous pieces that ... http://www.shoe-gazing.com/2010/01/06/frills/ ...words don't do justice to a beautiful piece of clothing¹. 1. At least, I can't do justice to this image with words. (img: materialiste) http://www.shoe-gazing.com/2010/01/01/sometimes/
