sew blown away.

"stupid, ugly CROCS." that was so last year.

Two years ago, I remember joining a group on Facebook - "I Don't Care How Comfortable Crocs Are, You Look Like A Dumbass." I've never been a fan of the "holey turtle feet, boat-sized, now decorated with cute cheesy snap on's" CROCS. To be honest, I personally think they just look ridiculous, especially when paired with jeans and a t-shirt. If you're in the nursing/doctor scrubs field, gardening, fishing, whatever other activity you would consider CROCS a must to wear, that's acceptable. But when worn as "fashion," I cannot accept the overly used excuse "but they're comfortable." Sorry. Comfortable and light? Perhaps; I've personally never put a CROC on my foot in my entire life. But stylish? Well, to swallow my words hard and painfully, yes, now they are.  I went to the mall the other day, and instead of going my normal route, only bee-lining it to the stores I only shop at, I decided to take a detour and go down a side branch, you know, the branches of the mall with the stores you never really actually acknowledge because you're only determined to get to the food court or leave.. Well, I went down one with an open mind. Perhaps to open, because I passed the store that made me put my foot in my mouth. I passed the CROC store. (I mean, I never even knew a kind of shoe store existed; only specifically selling CROCS) And saw this in the window.      These aren't CROCS! These are flats! that come in various pretty spring colors and stylish prints/designs. And they're actually kinda cute! So, I decided to keep the open mind, swallow my fashion ego, take a deep breath, and walk in... and to my surprise, I discovered the CROC World. A shoe world I had never even known about; one I was persistent in staying ignorant about.  And as I looked around.. I discovered entirely new CROC shoe breeds. Open-toed wedged CROCS! Open-toed heeled CROCS! Mary-jane CROCS! and came in almost every color ever desired!   $39.99  $49.99  $49.99  $49.99  $39.99 Maybe I'm too late in reporting this shoe world, for my ignorance got the best of me, but I'm seriously taken back by my discovery of the CROC shoe world. I'll now admit, CROCS are not just CROCSanymore. They're comfy, light, AND stylish. CROCS, on record, are the new high heel. (However, as enlightened as I was, I did not put a single CROC on my foot, and still won't. I just can't do it.) (And one more thing: I don't really know when is the appropriate season to wear CROCS? I mean, for summer, wouldn't your feet get hot and sweaty? And for the winter, your feet would get too cold due to the rubber material? So wear socks? and that's fashionable? I think not.)

You can shave my head, but not my heels. 

Thursday, June 11th, 2009 Keep Reading »

So today I took my shoes off and just completely directed all my fashion attention to the fashion blogs that I follow hourly like my mere bible.. which came to be a huge mistake, and I put my heels right back on! I have read some serious devastating reports; I mean, with this news, my sky could very well fall, and it seems like it is going to fall in the season of Fall: "insanely high heels are on their way out of shoe fashion season come the next few months." Wait. What! I mean, Spring '09 heels seemed as if they were reaching new fashion heights proudly from Roger Vivier's, Dolce & Gabanna, Christian Louboutin's 8 inch heels, and even Nina Ricci's 12 inch heels, but now, Vena Cava, Calvin Klein, and Marc Jacobs all debuted flats in their 2010 resorts, and even stylists and high fashionistas are purposely sticking their heels in cracks and ripping them off for Fall '09.              Vena Cava                         Calvin Klein                         Marc Jacobs   Andre Leon Talley states: "Designers with an obsession for towering torture chambers, often poorly designed for the well-being of the foot, must get a reality check. I, for one, am over the mania for high, high heel. Too many career women look like a herd of fashion beasts, aping one another in impractical shoes." Even Patricia Fields, stylist for Sex & the City, is 'tired' of the heavy, over-the-top heels. The queen of funky eccentric fashion wants to simplify! "I am getting tired of these heavy hoes. I'm ready for nice, refined shoes. I'm wanting that simplicity. But that's just a feeling." Well I personally pray that's a feeling they all just get over, because I season without high heels?  Fashion is high heels, and high heels are fashion. Our heels should stay 5 inches off the ground, don't you agree.  http://www.examiner.com/x-12390-Atlanta-Womens-Shoes-Examiner

sew conflicted.

yes, yes, I know.. I haven't blogged AT ALL in a long time, especially on this blog. 

My other blog is doing alright I suppose.. I've made a few dollars so far, which is good, but I'm having major writer's block. I'm suppose to write about the shoe fashions in Atlanta.. well, I live a thousand blocks away from Atlanta and Atlanta isn't NYC or LA.. I mean, the sidewalks are not necessarily bleeding fashion through the cracks.. so I don't know what to sayyyy!! or what to report!! And I can't include anything about my personal life, aka I can't vent like I'm doing now, so that leaves even more empty titles, empty lines.. 

Sigh, I think tomorrow I'm going to just drive to Atlanta, park somewhere, and just walk around, and find some sort of shoe inspiration and take a couple snap shots. Whether it's from a heel in a window or even a heel clicking down the road. We'll see I suppose. 

I wish I got paid for this blog.. it's my baby.. I love it so much more. 

Anyway, a little cheering up.. (NOT FOUND IN ATLANTA)

Chanel flats.. i want. period. 

Oh and aside from shoes.. I absolutely HATED the twilight movie and the entire obsession with it along with the awkward, awful acting.. but I do LOVE Kristen Stewa

rt's look. She's awkward, half way cracked out, strange, but HOTT with her Rodarte mini dress & thigh-high leather boots. bitch.
