Give me a Wedgie

Well, not a wedgie that you would associate with your a-hole siblings wanting to give you a hard time, or the adorable undies you decided to buy but immediately regretted your choice after the first wear. I am talking about beautiful, beautiful shoes. I'm not sure what has been going on with me over the last couple of weeks, but I definitely have a sick shoe obsession that I can't seem to get over, especially when it comes to Wedges. Here are my favorite picks of the moment, most from Jeffery Campell who I think is safe to say has a love/hate relationship with every shoe lover.

Click, Clack, Clog?

Yes people, the clog is in style, thanks to Karl at the SS10 Chanel presentation. At first I was a little taken back, but it didn't take me long to realize I NEED a pair. Love love love them, mostly due to the fact that, A) They aren't 80's inspired, B) They're different from anything else out there and C) I just think they're a sweet and fun addition for the season. So instead of hearing the click clack of your favorite stilettos, switch it up and put a little clog in your step.

Ode to the Queen

The anticipation for the Autumn/Winter ‘10 shows has only been building over the last few months, but unfortunately tragic feelings of loss and shock hit the fashion industry on the first day of New York Fashion Week. I think I can say without argument that Alexander McQueen was one of the most innovative and impeccable designers in the history of fashion, which makes the news of his recent death all the more heartbreaking. McQueen was known for his signature shapes that pushed the creative barrier to new heights. In my opinion, I’d say he was one of a handful who could actually create an experience that literally made you think, “What the f*** is that?”, but you could still appreciate his craft and see the beauty of each silhouette that came down the runway.

I’ll be honest, I have had a really hard time writing this post (hence the delay on actually getting something on my page), so I am just going to leave you with a few of my favorites from the designer. RIP McQueen.
