Paris Hilton makes wearable shoes?

When I first heard that Paris Hilton was designing shoes, I shuddered… and then completely forgot about.  Until I was browsing through Zappos and came across these charming patent leather “Chino” flats:

let’s have a quick break from the Fall previews, shall we?

It’s roastingly hot in my neck of the woods and I just couldn’t handle another post about Fall accessories!

yummy vintage purses from Unique Vintage

I was just recently introduced to Unique Vintage, an online boutique that specializes in all things vintage… or with a vintage flare.
I spent some time browsing through their website and I’m drooling over this silver peacock mesh evening bag from Whiting & Davis:

I’d happily give that a home :-)

the return of the pointy toe

According to the fashion gods on Mount Olympus (or is that somewhere in Paris?) the point toe is making it’s way back onto the runway… and the feet of mere mortals.
How does this mortal feel about it?

Metallic envelope clutch purse

Maison Martin Margiela isn’t helping my obsession with metallic & irridescent coated leathers:

I know that is kind of looks like a chunk of abused aluminum, but this coated leather “metallic envelope” clutch purse still fills me with longing :-)

aluminum wallets

I seem to be ridiculously hard on my wallet - I pull off zippers, lose snaps…  But I can keep the same purse for years - I’m not quite sure why!
I think that using a hard-sided wallet may be a better option for me - and these aluminum ones from Uncommon Goods come in a […]
