Christopher Kane for Topshop Fall 2009

July 2nd, 2009

Posted by Veronica Valter

Christopher Kane has been creating a great collection for Topshop Fall 2009.

Why I say great? Because everything is so secret about it that it just cannot be bad, Topshop can’t disappoint us!

We don’t know much about the line actually. But some things have been revealed.

The collection is going to be the biggest ever for Topshop. It includes 39 pieces (with shoes and bags) and is to be launched this September. The prices will range from around $80 to $300.

This is more than a capsule collection. It’s proper: with bags, shoes, knitwear and dresses. It’s nothing like any other work I’ve done in the past. Everything is a bit “wow”. But If I tell you any more, I’ll be giving the theme away,” Christopher said.

Can’t wait to see what it’s like!

Vibram FiveFingers: Love or hate them?

July 1st, 2009

Posted by Veronica Valter

The new invention that made me feel a bit confused but interested - Vibram FiveFingers.

They do look strange and I’m sure they feel unusual either, at least when you put them on for the first time. But the producing company promises that they will improve your balance, agility and proprioception.

These finger-shoes are said to stimulate and exercise our feet to make them healthy and strong.

They are intended to be worn for exercise, play, and for fun. But they can hardly be worn in a public place if you don’t want to be laughed at.

Each pair costs $190 and ‘fits snugly over each toe – like a pair of gloves for your feet.’

Jodie Kidd’s Love for Shoes

July 1st, 2009

Posted by Veronica Valter

Supermodel Jodie Kidd loves shoes. Shoes are what make her really excited.

She explained:

Shoes were the one thing I could take from the catwalk shows. I have an amazing collection, but they’ve all got five or six inch heels so I rarely wear them. For everyday wear I love my Lanvin flats and Uggs. I also have a lot of handbags. Probably 50-odd.”

The 30-year-old catwalk beauty has loads of designer outfits but she says she doesn’t often wear them since her life is divided into city life and country life and, of course, there is no need to wear designer garments to the country.

She said:

My style is split between two vibes: country and city. My country style is relaxed with jeans, t-shirts, cashmere jumpers and Uggs, and my city style is much smarter and designer-led with tailored trousers and a cropped jacket.”

But as it turns out Jodie’s every day uniform is the same, no matter where she is: “big, baggy hoodies or a man-size jumper with leggings or tight jeans”.

Do you love shoes as much as Jodie does?

Science is in the close collaboration with our every day life now. Constant researches give us information about the things we use or do every day without knowing if it’s good for us or vise versa.

Recently, there was a study concerning Flip-Flops. In fact it’s very interesting and timely, as far as it’s summer outside.

So, we all adore wearing flip-flops as they perfectly fit our shorts, jeans, skirts. Moreover, there are plenty of various-colored summer comfortable shoes. We feel easy and even relaxed having them on.

Flats-selling machine invented!

June 16th, 2009

Posted by Veronica Valter

I think it’s a great idea to invent a vending machine selling flats! That’s a sure thing that every girl had situations in her life when her favorite high-stiletto heels seemed to her the most horrible in the world as feet ached much.

For such occasions now there is a salvation as a machine that sells flat shoes. I really envy female clubbers in Britain who has been enjoying the convenience of the device.

It’s an unspeakable sensation to slip out of your stilettos and bask in the joy of flats at the place you cannot have your ordinary shoes with you!

Flats in the machine cost just 5 pounds (8 dollars) and are said to be super flexible, so they can be folded up and stashed into your handbag.

Rollasole is the name of the machine. The inventor told his inspiration came from the fact he didn’t like helping his girlfriend get home:

After getting tired of giving my girlfriend a piggyback home every Saturday night, I had a ‘eureka’ moment.”

Hope to see it in the States soon!

Must have for Summer - sandals

June 16th, 2009

Posted by Erin Sun

Summer is a very hot time.
One of the greatest types of shoe for summer is sandals!

Sandals are an open type of shoes, consisting of a sole held to the wearer’s foot by thong or straps passing over the instep and around the ankle.

While the differentiation between sandals and another types of shoes can sometimes be blurred, the common understanding is that a sandal leaves most or all of the foot exposed.

The sandals can go with heels or as flats.

Woman may choose to wear sandals for several reasons, among them:
- economy
- comfort in warm weather
- great fashion choice
