Shoe of the Week: Marie Antoinette

Love these ridiculous shoes from Moschino Cheap and Chic, available at The Outnet:

Shoe of the Week: Chanel Redeemed

Chanel Tsar pumps, by Darryl Peterson

If these beauties live up to the promotional images, Chanel -- the grater heels incident will be forgiven.

The Gimmick

Oh, Chanel, no...

c/o Jak & Jil. Visions of these hideous gun shoes from several seasons ago...

Shoe of the Week: the ultimate stiletto...

Gia Lorenzi Metallic Platform Sandals (Farfetch) / $727

I don't actually like the shoes that much... but look at that heel!

The Want List: settling in for summer...

The Want List: vol. 03 (5/04/09) by myoubi featuring Forever21 knee length skirts

Things I am seeking right now:

1. Full summer skirt -- something I can pull on in the morning with a tee and a pair of flats, and still look cute. Or at least acceptable. A full skirt shows off one's shape to best advantage, and always looks more 'dressed' than a slimline skirt in my view -- generally speaking, a fuller shape goes more places. Plus, flowy skirts are more comfortable in warm weather...

2. Floppy sun hat -- I don't tan, I crispy-fry. Sunscreen or not. I'm not a hat person, but I need to keep the sun off my skin.

3. Crisp jabot shirt -- not something with a little wee pussy bow, a dramatic neckline with a bit of oomph. These look lovely underneath vests, and I love my collection of vests!

4. Slip-on flats -- have worn my current pair to death! I am especially in love with the Acne Position ballet flat, which looks like a pair of pointe shoes.

The Want List: Temperate Tuesday

The Want List: vol. 1 (04/21/09) by myoubi featuring Catherine Malandrino tops

4 items I'm obsessed with lately:

1. Clown-collar blouses -- I couldn't find many good examples on Polyvore, but the grey Catherine Malandrino top shows it best: a simple, slim-fit blouse with a wide circular ruffle like on a clown's costume at the neck. I think they're wacky and delicate at the same time.

2. Winklepickers -- I am obsessed. I must have a pair of these super-pointy-toed men's boots. I am thinking black suede chelsea boots with a cuban heel and a long elegant toe...

3. Statement ring -- have been looking for a nice, large, shiny ring for a while. Any of these would suit my purposes: casual and dressy and unusual at once.

4. Striped blazer -- unfortunately I came to this one two years too late. All of the striped blazers now make one look like a comic book convict.

Shoe of the Week:

I'm not very adventurous when it comes to footwear: give me black and buckles and a stiletto heel and I'm over the moon. These Manolos are perfect. Unfortunately the heel on Manolos tends to be set slightly too far back for me, but we can dream...

New York New York

I saw these great Moschino mary-janes at Barneys and fell a little in love. Here's what I would love to wear while clomping around New York:
