SHOE PORN THURSDAY: DSquared2

Posted on May 5, 2016 by Trends & Tribulations

DSquared2‘s shoe game has gotten so serious. They have been creatively killing it, from high-heeled ice-skates, to vertebrae heels, to brass knuckles, and beyond. Their latest creation brings me back to the days where tying shoelaces was a feat in itself, but luckily, there were those convenient no-tie, curly Q shoelaces to wear on your sneaks. These black sandals are tied up with multi-colored ropes that may conjure up some nostalgia from your childhood, too.

Wear them with an athleisure-inspired outfit, such as a black racerback dress or a pair of sporty culottes and a red or lime green tank to balance it out.

SHOE PORN THURSDAY: Isabel Marant

Isabel Marant’s aesthetic is unmistakable. It has something of a “French bohemian meets western” feel, in the best way possible. I’m obsessed with these adorable shearling wedge boots from Luisaviaroma. Not only do they look so warm and cozy, they are super chic and versatile when paired with any outfit.

SHOE PORN THURSDAY: Christian Louboutin

Posted on August 7, 2014 by Trends & Tribulations

Spikes have been a huge trend for shoes that have been around for so long, it’s becoming a mainstay. With the popularity of Valentino Rockstud’s and Louboutin’s various spiked heels, the spikes are evolving into creative and unique pieces of art. My new obsession is the Spike Me 120mm Eclipse Patent PVC pumps from Louboutin’s Fall/Winter 2014 collection, with colorful spikes that appear to be floating on your feet, a pinky heel, and pointed toe for the perfect balance of sexy and fabulous.
