More Miu!

Beauuutious

Ready for the Runway...

From the Runway

not really a fan of these models though... creepa-faces

In editorials/ads... also pretty creepy right? the models all look like sedated dolls! and I picked the least creep of the lot to post

Basically, it's all about the shoes:

Ohhhh shoes. I was just reading in my Harper's Bazaar UK about the return of the kitten heel and I got really upset (not upset, more like annoyed/slightly repulsed). I am not a fan of the kitten heel! Give me a big chunky platform any day of the week, and a low heel is great, but a kitten heel... reminds me high school winter balls.

I'm full of opinions today! Please don't be offended if you're really into kitten heels and think the Miu Miu ads are the greatest/least creepy, if people didn't disagree about these things fashion wouldn't be very exciting. Anyway, I'm probably in the minority if I'm against something a major fashion mag is reporting as a trend/entire ad campaign.

Bisous, xo Caitlin

Les Looks du Printemps of which Je Meurs

Swedish Hasbeens! I have coveted these shoes since I saw a different style on a favorite blog, bunnyshop.org, last year. Unfortunately these are $243, and I have committed myself to putting my tax return towards my (maxed-out) credit card, so I probably won't be getting a pair this year either.

Miu Miu S/S '10, Emily of Cupcakes and Cashmere.

Shabd S/S '10.

Sadly these looks are not courtesy of H&M or F21... Miu Miu, Phillip Lim, and Shabd... sigh,  someday I will be such a famous fashion blogger designers will be sending me these things just for the shout out; til then... dare to dream?

Anway, this blog is all about fashion as inspiration, and I think all of these looks are beneficial in that regard; not as specific pieces we must have, but as greater wardrobe inspiration.  These beautiful Spring colors are going to be everywhere, and these shapes and styles aren't exclusive to Miu Miu or Phillip Lim either.  Luckily for those of us with slightly more meager budgets, more affordable lines look to the high fashion shows for inspiration, just as we do, and put out versions accessible to the rest of us (though believe me, I'm all about intellectual property/fashion as art, and would never ever ever buy an actual knock-off anything, totally against it).

Innnnn conclusion, I know I'll be watching for dresses in these shades of blush, and something the shape of the second amazing Shabd dress (check out the link above to see all of her hand-dyed pieces, they are so so so gorgeous).  The Hasbeens are somewhat more affordable (well, a million times more affordable than the other looks), and they seem like the sort of shoe that will last forever, and never really go out of style. 

Man, now who wants to go shopping?! Fo real.
