shoes and thangs

I was just surfin the web(specifically, barneys.com) and found some note worthy items.

SHOES

Prada- these look super comfortable, and im really liking the suede. Its nice to see an alternative version of heels opposed to the the over the knee hunting boots seen in the Fall 09 collection. I can see how the platform of this shoe is inspired by that idea though. 

Yves Saint Laurent-I love how the platform is smaller than the actual shoe itself, it kindof adds an architectural element to the shoe. gahh to me shoes are so much like sculptures rather than a mere "covering for the foot". yehh corny i know

Proenza Schouler- so i was looking at this shoe and was diggin it, and then i realized it looks like a high heeled bowling shoe, and busted out laughing. i guess you could say that ruined the idea of this shoe for me. 

PURSES

Givenchy-i love the leather its made of. i have no idea what it is, and have never seen leather like that before, but it is beautiful. it reminds me of granite almost. 

Lanvin-darling, its just darling.

because not only do we like cool clothes, but our friends do too.

Inspriation: Etta Place

Lindy and I were watching Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and at one point in the movie we both turned to each other and simultaneously thought, 'Etta Place is so spectacular with her clothes.' (Katharine Ross plays Etta Place)

Etta just has this way about her that is really pure but confident. I was so excited to see her in the next scenes to see what she would be wearing.

LOTSA FASHION LOVE

short break from blog posting

but anyways

i was readin up on jane n' judy and saw the link to stylecaster.com and i decided to check it out. its actually a really cool website. and the video on the home page is fantastic. so getchoo an account to stylecaster real soon.

secondly, about a month ago i went to new york for a quick college trip. here are some pictures, some fashion related and others not so much. 

the store front of bergdorfs i believe

these are some jackets at a vintage market that i went i believe on west 77th right by central park

i think i might want to purchase myself a fur jacket soon, they are so beautiful but it might be too much for atlanta to handle. i wish everyone here was as bold as new yorkers are. 

all of the stands had really great scarves, cameos, and purses for decent prices. i am now the owner of a vintage silk valentino dress, but the thing needs some serious work, so claire go-to man for fixen clothes is gonna hook me up soon i hope. 

me and the brotha chillen outside of the market. i got the sequin jacket at topshop during the trip. 

tribute to sea of shoes, i call this the lindy and anne meal. we went out to eat after shopping in soho at balthazar, one of our favorites when we go to new york. this french onion soup was divine
