Shoes! That are roses! Wow!

So, story is that I found the most increidble shoes, totally by accident, while I was Googling "awesome shoes". Check them out.


Look at the sheer and utter magnificence that is these shoes. These shoes look like a flower. How fuckin cool is that? If you get lucky enough to wear them, your foot will be nestled inside of the warm, velvety embraces of a rose, briarless vines will caress you, and a bee will be poised daintily above your toes. Even the gold heel references roses, with its thorny looking outcroppings.
I have no idea where I'd wear them, but kids, I think this is a Make It Work moment (bless you Tim Gunn). If I had something this amazing, I'd Make It Work. In fact, I'd just throw them on with jeans and a plain white t, and be like, "look at those amazing fuckers on my feet. Just look at them!"
Special Occasion Shoes? pshpshhht


Thoughts? Reflections? Love 'em? Hate 'em? Tell me how you feel!


Love,

Things I Fucking Love: Michel Tcherevkoff

So, story is, during my browsing today, I came across something rather incredible, or rather, someone. His name is Michel Tcherevkoff, and his work is amazing. He describes it as reality with a twist, and it encompasses a few of my favorite things. Namely flowers, fashion and beauty.
He does many things, but I'm going to spotlight his flower shoes, lingere, and just acouple of the handbags.

ps. this is basically a picture dump with a small amout of commentary. Just so you know.

Enjoy!









Calla lillies, roses, orchids oh my! Are'nt those shoes just amazing? If I were a fairy, I'd get in contact with Monsieur Michel. (He's french.oooo)

I'm going to show one handbag, and then we're just going to be moving onto my favorite portion of tonights entertainment... the lingere!



Look at his use of colour and pattern with these orchids/petals, its incredible! And moreover, its beautiful in a way that only a natural thing can be. *sigh*

Next up is what you've all been waiting for! The Fantasty Flower lingere collection!It is utterly incredible, so prepare yourself to be blown away. I chose my favorites to share, were I you, I'd high tail it over to his website to have a better look!









My favorite is the first one, with the orchid panties, it looks almost as though she's wearing a strap on, and I love that.



What do you think? Is Michel T just as amazing as I think he is, or am I quite the daft bugger?

Love,

Lia

Things I Fucking Love: Heels

So, story is that I havent posted in quite some time, because I am a very very bad blogger; furthermore it has come to my attention, that my last couple of posts before this one were sort of down trodden, and I think that sucks, so, we're going to look at some pretty pretty pictures, of one of my greatest obsessions: shoes. To be specific, heels. I fucking love heels. I love them. Which, I've been told his hilarious, because I have ladies 11/12 feet, and not even that but I have 11/12 WIDE feet.
"Good luck finding heels Lia", you smirk, as you walk along in your cute little size 8's. Well fuck you. A girl can dream right?
On that note, let me share with you some of my latest loves



These shoes are amazing. Look at the bright yellow, look at the stilletto, look at the platform, goooooooood lord, if only if only. I've been utterly obsessed with yellow heels since I saw these a few months ago, they're sassy, gorgeous, and oddly cheerful, with that kick of sexy that I love, aaaaand, speaking of sexy...



Check out these lovelies, now check them again! DO you have whiplash? NO? You havent checked them out hard enough!
I love the bubblegum pink, I love the heel hight, I love the pointy toe. I want them with jeans, I want them with dresses, and holy man alive do I want them with a swishy crinoline'd black with white polka dot skirt, because man do I love me some vintage look!



Oh my lord, look at all these shoes, an absolute plethora I tell you. There are a few pairs here I'd like to point out. First up are those oxford style booties right there in the middle of the top row, deep red, black piping? See them? Oh god, what I could work with those, I would sit and whisper to them how pretty they are, and how, it seems to me that they have just a little bit of badassery snuggled up in there.
Next up in orange, is the shoe that those yellow kicks are blocking, you can only see the obsenely high heel on them. Can anyone else imagine prancing their ass about all over town in those little babies? Generally I hate orange, but these hit some sort of essential button in me. I think I just need that hit of happy that is all up in these.
Third to the block all the yellow ones. Have I mentioned that I love yellow?
Grass green peeptoe slingbacks: I'm not totally in love with the heel, generally chunky heels don't work for me in any way shape or form, but these seem in keeping with the shoe. I might trade them for a fabric wrapped cone heel, but I'd still take them as is, and work the shit out of them.
In the cooler spectrum of the rainbow, I like the blue heels. I like the snake skin ones, I like the strappy ones, but best of all I like the ones with the rosette. I like the shade of blue, I like the rosette detail, I like the way there's an angle to the side of the shoe, and I like the heel of it.
Purple. Where the fuck do I even start. I want 7 of 10 pairs of these. I think most of all, I want the bottom row. Narrowing it down even more, the shiney bright ever-so-high-heeled booties. If they were black, they would look stern and foreboding, but with that purple, and the little zipper mm mm good. Good like Garfeild loving lasagne. But sexy.

Thats what I have to say about that right now. Look foreward to more shoe posts, as well as whatever strikes my fancy. Because thats what I do.

Tell me though, readers, if you read, do you like any of my shoe fancies? Do you have any of your own? AND, most importantly, do you know of anywhere in Canada that caters to big feet at affordable prices?

Love,
Lia
