Backstage at Stella AW10 :

2010-06-17T03:04:00.000-07:00

And so my love for Stella McCartney continues. I imagine these beauties would look uber flattering on... especially in the nude. Oh if only I was working in the city with a fashion job, I could justify these heels. One day.

Paris, couture & mega heels, I'm in heaven :

2010-01-27T01:11:00.000-08:00

Tommy Ton is my hero. His attention to detail and passion for photography makes his Fashion Week shots enthralling, he picks out the most beautifully dressed fashionistas. Shooting for Style.com at Paris' Couture Fashion Week, he's making me swoon already...

It is impossible to go wrong with black heels, they are the epitome of the classic stilletto and allow you to get away with so much more creative designs without being overtly crazy. The heart heels in the first picture... I need say no more. I love the mix of roughened, worn leather and patent black and wood perfection on the boots, and for the last pair, how glamorous and ultra-flattering. I absolutely love a beautifully thought about stilletto with stacked platform (and I need the height!)

One day I hope my shoe collection will look similar to that of Jak & Jil's archives...

♥

I adore you part deux :

2010-01-19T03:06:00.000-08:00

Update - the only place I could find a large(ish) image of the shoes was on Stella's US store, so a little print-screening and Paint later, voila. I'm a size 5 (38) incase anyone's feeling overly generous today..?

I can't seem to find any decent sized photos of these cute little zip booties, made with faux suede by the one and only Stella McCartney. Anyone who knows anything about me will know that she is my idol, and thinking about it I love this entire outfit from the Cruise 2010 collection.

Opening Ceremony :

2009-08-24T04:55:00.000-07:00

Imagine my excitement when I saw that I can get a similar pair of the beautiful heels that Chloe Sevigny wore from Opening Ceremony. Okay, so they don't have as many buckles and they aren't wedges, but, why hello and thank you, Topshop. I think I'll purchase them in the black...

Topshop comes out on top again... check these leopard print booties, the more purse friendly edition of the YSL pair.

Animal print booties by Ashish for Topshop, due in store next week.

Stellar emulations at Topshop :

2009-07-16T15:00:00.000-07:00

This may be the nearest I will be getting to owning a pair of Stella McCartney AW09 thigh high boots... if only these were as animal friendly and had that beautiful detailing, I may have considered.

Roulette is never any fun without a gun :

2009-06-11T04:05:00.000-07:00

After wearing some very uncomfy boots to university the other day, I found myself in the situation of having to buy another pair of shoes, as I couldn't walk any further. Yes, I am a broke ass student and I should have trudged the extra bit to Primarni, to buy the cheapest pair to see me home, but that wouldn't have been ethical, or correct, would it? Therefore I simply had to buy these beauties... even if they were £60. I'll get more wear from them, after all?
As you can tell I am a pro in shoe justification. Anyway, I thought they were very Stella/Chloé-esque, which can never be a bad thing. I love, love, love my new beauties.

P.S they look better on, than in this photo from the TopShop website. I'll add a photo soon.

Procrastination :

2009-06-04T14:41:00.000-07:00

I really shouldn't, but I am, looking through millions of beautiful blogs, including the ones that already exist in my ever-growing reading list. Should I be doing an essay? Yes. But then again if I were doing what I was meant to be doing, then I wouldn't have stumbled across (and fell in love with) these beauties.

Now that, would have been a crime.

Jak & Jil blog, I ♥ you.

If I was a rich girl, la la laaaa :

2009-05-12T15:16:00.000-07:00

I would own a lot more shoes, and have a walk in shoe wardrobe. Forget clothes!
How beautiful are these Gianfranco Ferre heels, snapped by the infamous Jak & Jil. Love the detailing on the heel and ankle strap, and gold on the platform. Well, just love them really!

My love for you continues to grow :

2009-05-04T08:12:00.001-07:00

I have always been a huge Stella McCartney fan. Net-a-porter says that she designs with friends Kate Moss and Gwyneth Paltrow in mind. They should add me to that list, for sure.
Just check out these beautiful shoes from her Spring Summer 09 collection. The mesh basket sandal. My favourite is the nude pair, however I wouldn't say no the the black. Shall I just carry on dreaming...? Stella, I love you!!

Being nominated for the Swarovski Award for Accessories at the annual CFDA Awards, I feel that Alejandro Ingelmo is in for a good year. Among emerging talent such as Albertus Quartus and Justin Giunta of Subversive Jewellery, the CFDA Awards are definately a place to watch for up and coming designers. Judging by the collections that he has produced since starting up in 2006, Ingelmo is definately one to watch.

Check out the gorgeous, Gucci-esque platforms from his A/W 09 collection : http://www.alejandroingelmo.com

It's official : nycjuicebox = shoe addict. British weather and the downhill trek to my university mean I have stopped utilising all those gorgeous heels in my wardrobe. Which also means I have stopped buying them... So to re-ignite my love for ridiculously high heels, I am going to document all those shoes that I can't afford, here, on my shoe blog. Enjoy!
