Chaussures
Chloe
I love Victoria Beckham and usually like her fashion choices. I am obsessed with the boots she's wearing. Though, I'd rather not the material that they're made out of; something more practical. - So I can wear them more often. i.e.: Every other day.
I am not crazy about her dress, I know exactly what I would wear with these boots.
Even though with that said, I love Vic Beckham and I think she's great.
And YES, they're walkable!! Orrr at least walkable by my standards.
Antonio Berardi sandals, in the same style as the boots.
The boots worn at a fashion show. (Boots pictured above are the same boots directly pictured below).
Antonio Berardi With her incessant drilling of "that extra half an inch", you can understand my surprise at this weekend's headlines: "Victoria Beckham in heel-less boots shocker!" What on earth is going on?
Has the poster girl of gravity-defying heels gone mad, ditching her 10-in Louboutins for a pair of zero-elevation flatties? (This is the woman who even wore heels on the baseball pitch, remember.)
Well, the answer is that no, Posh hasn't ditched the heels - much to the chagrin of bunion-watchers everywhere. But yes, the woman is mad - mad for stepping out in a pair of five-and-a-half-inch-high Latex boots that come sans heels.
And I would know, because latterly I have been wearing said boots around Paris's Place Vendôme, looking like some lost dominatrix who's longing to be taken back to the manacled comforts of her underground dungeon.
The first obstacle was getting the things on - they're like ultra-tight leggings with shoes on the end. And it doesn't help that the boots, which are made to order by British-born, Paris-based designer Antonio Berardi, and come in at a whopping £3,300, are thigh-high on a supermodel and I'm only 5ft 3in. But thankfully, they do have zips and - with the help of copious amounts of talcum powder - I succeeded in doing them up.
Managing to stand up was less interesting - easy, even - thanks to their brilliant engineering. The platform base is weighted, which forces your foot downwards and forwards so that you can't fall backwards. No David Beckham required. I even braved the rainy, slippery streets in them.
I spotted a family from Switzerland gawping at me. The mother thought them brilliant, but her husband said that he would not want her to wear them. And judging by the number of "Ooh look, there's another fashion victim" sniggers and stares I got, no wonder.

Black & White
This shirt knocks my socks off.
Beautiful photos of a RECENT Christy Turlington. 
The details on this Catherine Malandrino skirt are stunning in detail.
I love the drapey-ness (if that's a word) of my dress.

My Museum
I have this gorgeous purple and gold stringed scarf I bought while in Germany. It fell upon the sand and I am picking it up. You can see a little bit of it behind the tips of my hair.
I saw these last night. I thought they were so interesting...clear tennis shoes??! I can't wait to try a pair on.
My sister took this. I love when she'll take pictures of me and I won't find out until later, when she shows me the photos. Here I am looking into the window of my favorite store. I felt that this photo captured me. I love looking at the outfits they make up for the windows as I pass by this store, whenever I'm on my way in or out of work.This is my museum.
Myself and my sister in my car. I love these jeans of mine.
I have a picture of these leggings in an earlier post of mine. They're so warm and my favorite leggings I own. Well, until two days ago when I DIY'd another pair of my leggings; now those are also a fav pair of mine.

Les Details
My favorite photography are detail shots, as I like to call them.
The entrance to this hidden little store is this beautiful pathway. My uncle captured this photo of me as I was leaving. I love this.
I love these red shorts and my vintage T is oh so comfortable.
Budapest on the bridge; where a carnival of sorts was going on.
Frankie says Relax!!
These are my favorite leggings. They keep me so warm and I find myself wearing them under my jeans or other pants when it's cold outside.
I love these shoes. They're so squishy and they're my two favorite colors.
This is me. I took this shot while waiting in the car.
Such a cool angle.
This reminds me of a ballerina. I think it must be the bun. I like the pose; makes me think of a painting. This is me as well, my sister took this while we were in Vegas.

Things I Like
I'm 3 here. I love this suit. I wish I still had it - just in my size today. I'd definitely wear it.
I love these red & white slippers from Abercrombie & Fitch. I couldn't find the other one that night, so I grabbed a purple sock for my other foot. Haha I found my matching slipper the next morning. 
Mmmm crepes in Paris, France.
This is me trying on a very cute skirt at Forever 21. I wasn't sure if i wanted it or not, so I took a picture with my phone and sent it to my mom to ask her advice. I do that a lot when I'm in indecision.
Agh! BLACK!! 
I think I have this outfit. Wait, I know I do. :)Versailles Vintage Opera
That new Coca Cola commercial with Heidi Klum...I LOVE her costumes in that and love the scenery too. So beautiful. And that metal corset...! :D
