All the Rage // Shoes for Spring 2011

I can usually rely on ACNE to put out some to-die-for shoes, but I was a little underwhelmed when I saw these from the Spring 2011 show. I think the straps are hideous, the proportion, the placement, ect. HIDEOUS. But then I noticed that Christopher Kane also hopped on this strappy shoe disaster trend too, which got me thinking? Will the fashion world brainwash me to love this style come next April? Only time will tell...

I read this thought on dressful blog and just had to re-post:

"I once read that in times of (economic) crisis, trends dictate higher and higher heels deforming women's feet, suggesting an almost post-apocalyptic vision of the world in shreds where women tower over men, children, the old and the disabled by a good 16+ cm (6,3 inches), being above everyone else figuratively and literally (how feminist!), albeit with shaky knees (... not so feminist). Memory's not serving me well at the moment and I can't remember the author nor source of this theory, but I thought it would still be interesting to see see if it holds any water:"

Roberto Cavalli Spring 2011

Ahh I just love this, it reminds of Waterworld post apocalyptic or living amongst the desert sand dunes but at the same time being really really ridiculously chic and sexy. I must get lace up leather pants, yet again my inner call girl showing herself... sigh*

DIY Light-Up Dress Quontum Bodycon alla Katie Perry

Although Katy's is a little too bubblegum-pop for me, I was dying for something even on the same par as her light-up dress she wore to this years MET Ball. After much thought I decided the easiest and most cost effective way to light-up my wardrobe was glowsticks. I took a look in my wardrobe and saw that my Quontum dress with the bondage straps would be a perfect place to hide my glowsticks! Read how to make your own below: 

What you need:

Quontum Bodycon Dress

Glowsticks (Necklace kind work best)

Seam-ripper

1. Find the seam on the side-most part of the strap and rip 3-5 seams so you have a big enough gap to insert your glowsticks. 

2. Insert your glowsticks inside the straps. I used the 3-part Necklace glowstick set and connected 2 of the pieces for the longer straps and just one for the small strap. 

3. Voila! You're done. 

NOTE: 

If you're like me you probably may have cracked some of the glowstick while putting them inside your dress (and you definitely crack them when putting on the dress) So either put them in the dress and put on your dress right as your about to go out since the glow only lasts for 4-5 hours, or insert the glow sticks after the dress is on.
