A Glamorous Evening...

Its not everyday that you decide to get glamorous, and when you do, you have stirred up a tornado!! Shake off the laxness caused by a weekend of relative inactivity by dressing in bright fuchsia, the color of Spring 2009, from head to toe, don't worry there can never be too much of pink on you!! Break in an embellished python clutch in multicolored hues of turquoise to neutralise the bright fuchsia.Finally polish off your look with some statement jewellery in mild hues and rest assured that you are the envy of the town!!

Relish the glamorous idea? Replicate the look..

In Her shoes, the Jennifer Lopez way !

Think Jennifer Lopez, think shoes with vertiginous heels !! Few other celebrities' shoes evoke as much interest as Jennifer's for hers are as stylish as they are impossible to walk in, except for the seasoned fashionistas.When one needs to be picky about what one buys these days, rethinking a thousand times whether something is really necessary, this could be the one pair of shoes that you would want to add to your shoe closet, this season.However I would prefer these shoes in a glammed up golden color to effortlessly wear with the many black or shimmery dresses that one ends up grazing the evening in.If you concur with me, then go ahead and indulge in one of the most happening shoes of this season.

For the Love of My Feet...

There is always an elegance about John Galliano's shoes.This time too the shoes were available in a plethora of colors.My favorites were the Turkish inspired lattice work shoes in bright colors followed by the shoes with metal studded straps criss-crossing each other and in the process adding a tad of sophistication to them.The last kind were tie ups with tassel ends, they were relatively simpler while compared to the other two, giving a more modern twist to the Oriental fantasy spun by Galliano.The heels took a more Persian/Mughal stand, curved like an antique chair's leg with carved metal band at the base of the heel.

Overall the shoe affair was one of art meeting modernity, artistic yet wearable.

Giuseppe Zannoti's Murder Spree

How else could one justify this Fall 2009 shoe design right from the sketch pad of Giuseppe Zannoti? Kudos to Zannoti for adding a whole new dimension to the concept of "killer heels", and as for you ladies, you have got less than an year to get your balancing act right!!! Someone please tell me that Zannoti was just designing for the "Impossible Shoe" contest and not for Fall 2009!!!

Black And White Morning

Giuseppe Zanotti E96125

As you get ready for work on Monday morning, for once you are thankful for still having a place to go on every weekday called "office".With the days passing by, the only change that seems to be happening in your life is the number of your friends getting laid off.After a Thanksgiving week of sorts, you reminiscence how your mother always warned you about the ups and downs in life.Heaving a sign you reach out for your handbag, look at your shoes (pictured above), which your dear hubby was kind enough to bestow upon you as a little Thanksgiving present, and wonder why the highs and lows of your life cannot blend as harmoniously as the white and black on your shoes!!!So long, life goes on, another week, another challenge in another pair of shoes!!

P.S:Black and white color combo is a hot trend for spring 2009, which makes this pair very trendy and fashion forward.

Tribal Chic

Well its that inevitable week of the day called Monday when spirits are low and any distraction from work is all so welcoming.The current economic crisis wants you to escape into the distant future where you hope things would be the way they were before the sub prime crisis, when life devolved around the single principle of "earn and burn".You dream of those days yet again and fantasise yourself walking in a shoe like the one pictured above, sipping a cool lemonade and resplendent in tribal chic.You think of the forth coming spring and shoes like this one that would accompany it and wish with all your heart that the financial crisis looming large now, would have disappeared by then and your dream of walking in feathered shoes with tie ups, colorful beads and an exotic heel becomes a reality.

P.S:The shoe featured here is part of the Louis Vuitton Spring 2009 Ready-To-Wear collection.Watch this space for comprehensive coverage of the collection.

Truffles From The Runway

I'm totally floored by these sculptured heels from Christian Dior's Spring 2009 Ready-To-Wear collection.The heels are really really cute and kudos to John Galliano.Me a complete sucker for his shoes and with recession looming large over everyone's head, shoes like these don't do any good in controlling expenditures!!!

Keep watching this space for more coverage from the runway.

Skyscraper High Shoes Are Meant For...

Well you guessed it right!!! Taking in hand rather than walking in.Before you give in to the never ending craze for higher and higher heels(the latest buzz being 7 to 8 inches high), give yourself a serious thought as to whether a few moments of towering over the world is worth a lifetime of wobbling around with a hunchback(this is no Hunchback of Notre Dame, to make history).Be fashionably responsible !!!

Lacy Lacy Affair

Laces being in vogue big time this fall, there couldn't be a better season to sport these shoes pictured above.The shoes give a very delicate appearance with the faux effect of henna painted feet.This fall, Roberto Cavalli has thankfully decided not to vamp us and has come up with ornate and beautiful designs.Even with recession setting in, these are the kind of shoes that would still make a woman kneel over in desire.

Go Back In Time

Jimmy Choo Sylvia Shoe Boots

Its an inevitable Monday morning and you make your way through the concrete jungle treading wearily towards your office not knowing whether the axe will fall on your head today.There is nothing worse than the constant trepidation of expecting the worse.You suddenly long for the primitive life of hunting and gathering, moving around in herds in the Amazon jungle, where your expectation from life is nothing more than an wild boar or at least it seems so at first.And suddenly you wonder how all the folk and tribal art came into being if gastronomical quests encompassed primitive life, you realise the existence of stone age Jimmy Choo and Christian Louboutin and then you dream away as to what shoes they would have designed for the hunters and so on and so forth.Dang!!! your reverie is broken by your loudmouthed cubicle mate who jerks you in a manner that you fear a concussion in your head and she is like "Jimmy Choo does folk".While you never really got to the point of caveman Choo's designs, you find yourself staring at a dreamy pair of folk inspired boots from the contemporary Choo!!!

Fall 2008 Ready-To-Wear - Marni

Think simple, think Marni.On a cursory look, the clothes from the collection don't seem to stand out.The prints are nothing more than a swirl of patterns and the dressing is tiered and layered as per fall.But the highlight of the collection seems to be the artistic blending of seemingly impossible color combinations where the pastel shades seem to harmonize with shocking hues of bright colors.The collection however is big on accessories with chunky wooden heeled platform shoes in a variety of materials ranging from exotic to suede, big flowery necklaces and bracelets, cute striped socks and nerdy sun glasses.Skip the clothes in favour of the accessories!!!
