sew nahhh...

Wow, it's been almost a month since my last blog. Dang. 

Well, I check the fashion/shoe blogs daily, but like Steph and I were saying just the other day, I just haven't felt inspired to blog. Now that all the fashion weeks are over or coming to an end.. so is my head and my creativity. School and fashion projects and personal bullshit have really gotten the best of me. I can't wait to see that sunshine this summer.. 

Til then.. 

sew brunette is sew burnt out. 

but please do keep an eye out for SEW STEVIE BRUNETTE. <3

sew spring break material.

Yes, it's 1:00 in the A.M. and yes, I'm suppose to be doing my study guide of the history of costume..
but a break never hurt anyone.. a break full of daydreaming about SPRING BREAK OH NINE. :)
Christian Dior debuted pretty heels last week, and they are so needed to be on my feet for Spring Break. 
I absolutely LOVE the detail in the heel, along with the sparkle and embroidery design on the shoe. 
I'll take all three, please. 















I'll take all these dresses by Bulmarine too. Love her style!!

sew humorous.

Oh gosh, I'm about to have a nervous breakdown. Last week of school until Spring Break.. and I have so many tests and projects due this week.. along with training for work.. and this morning when I had to move the clock ahead, I almost had an anxiety attack. ha ha. I need all the hours I can get!! This bad mood is killing me.. and have you ever noticed that when you are in a bad mood, everyone else seems to be in like this SPECTACULAR over-the-top good mood; like they're feeding off your bad mood and it's making them feel so much better, so therefore they have to shove it in your face. Ughh, I hate people. ha ha. Ahhhhh (deep breath) I'll make it; one hour at a time. 
Anyway, I'm looking at shoes and blogging to calm myself..
Here is some funny . . got a little chuckle out of me


















(yessss, that purple thing on the far right is in fact a shoe; not a sparkly purple clay artwork of mine)
This "cartoon" has ZERO credibility for designers aren't using heels anymore. ha ha. 
Oliver Theyskens & Nina Ricci put this cartoon to rest and stacked up the silly.

sew tweaked.

Wow, I haven't posted in a while.. It has been the last 2 weeks of school before Spring Break, which means a million midterms and projects have been due and are due for next week. I'm so over next week already, like seriously, its bad. I cannot wait to be on the beach wearing nothing but a bathing suit, shades, and hat allllllllll freakkinnn weeekk!! OMG!
Anywayyyy, done day dreaming.. I've been meaning to post a million shoes/ideas, but just haven't gotten around to it. Ok, ok, so I've been a little lazy, but now that I have 15 orange babies, I'll be tweaked from here on out. (hopefully I lose 5 lbs in the process too!) 

So, lately, designers have been taking heels to an entirely different level. Above and beyond design, literally.
Here are Nina Ricci's shoes.. or platforms.. or whatever you could call these things.. it's a whole-nother breed!
I just love how a "heel" was added.. as a joke? 11 inchs all together, holy shit. 
Seriously, check out her line. It is unreal what walked down that runway. 


















Believe it or not, not ONE single model fell during her show. Modeling is a sheer sport/talent. You go girls!
However, at the Brian Reyes show.. simple 5 inch heels were unwalkable, having the finale look like this: erk.













On the flip, Rick Owens made SHOE HISTORY at his collection debut. It speaks for itself..


















haha, TA DAHHH! It's without a doubt stupidly hideous.. but genius.. 
Ugly or not, it's awesome to be the very first in fashion, duh!

Dolce & Gabanna redefined platform/wedge for Fall 2009 with retro designs and colors. 












Last but not least, Prada debuted some interesting shoe design.. straps & gladiator spikes? hell yeahhh.
