Prada A/W 2012 Shoes

I've become a real fan of the Miuccia Prada fashion family of late.

I like the bold designs & crazy prints. It doesn't look gaudy but rather pleasing to the eye.

Now, If only I could find those floral prints for my own shoe designs hmm...

Not really fancy-ing the blocky brogue though. What you think?

Gold On My Black Suede Heels

# The original concept of the heel was to be the all black heel but during the later stages of the design process, we decided to give it a gold highlight. 

# The primary idea was a shoe that was posh yet quirky as we hope to give the pieces the image of being stylish but not too serious. Hence, the purple interior rather than all black.  

# Most of the current designs are instilled with the 60's "young spirit". Fresh & bold is the theme.

# Since I opted for the 4-inch heel, the challenge was to capture the same definition a 5-inch heel gives. The cut and curves are important.

# The platform curve was a pending design but applied it anyway, to differentiate from other heels. It'll be a reoccurring look in the current designs.

# I feel that the color palette used, convey the feelings of smooth & velvety - luxurious.

# Extra padding for the ball of the foot was inserted since the shoe is meant to be a versatile heel - more walking time with more comfort.

# The end: my first completed handmade high heel beauty.

Living the 60s Through Kate Spade!

In my research on all things 60s, I stumbled upon more things groovy :)

I love how the red socks enriches an otherwise monotonous outfit - great style tip for those with a lot of black/white/silver/grey shoes.

I have an inclination to like heels without platforms. 

This outfit bears the same color code of a shoe I'm working on :P

Authentic Valentine's Day

Have a fancy dinner like Chanel.

I'm not a believer of V-day. Smells too much of a marketing ploy to drain my fellow gentleman of their cash by spending on overpriced "lovey dovey" merchandises and dates. Ever heard the saying: "Don't love that person for a day, but for the 365 days"? It's true. 

Yet, it doesn't hurt to have a special day. But does it have to be on 14th of February? My opinion, pick any other day of the year and make sure it's a real V-day. Then it'll truly be yours & your loved one's V-day no?

Anyway, here's my dedication ;)
