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.

sew vivienne, duh.

Fashion week ends in New York, and starts up again in London and Milan.

Here are some fancy shoes from Vivienne Westwood's collection.

I just CRAVE for her uniqueness. She rocks the best straight edge grunge punk flare.

I honestly wonder what it's like to be her, or Marc Jacobs and have such a creative brain to just INVENT TRENDS off the mere top of their head. Insane in the membrane. (haha, cheesy)

I'd love to meet them and other creative people in this crazy fashion industry so I could just pick their brain and try to absorb some real die-hard fashion innovation. 

sew mk.

Mary-Kate just recently had an interview with 'Interview' magazine, for the month of March.
Check out the interview - MK has fashion brains, and bright brains put together. Gotta love her.

"For E&J, we found a picture of a man from an old magazine and started from there."

sew in need of a vaca.

Oh man, I am so ready for Spring Break.. please take me there shoes?
    

sew chooo true.

Now that fashion week is over.. back to reality. What a wonderful week; can't wait for fall to come!

The Oscars were last night, and I must say, I loved every single dress that walked the red carpet, especially Miley Cryrus's. 

Each dress was completely, aesthetically different; however, did you notice that almost everyone was wearing Jimmy Choos? Oh yeah, Jimmy Choo walked the red carpet about a million times with Amanda Seyfried, Taraji Henson, and Alicia Keys.

Here are my favorite:

Oh, and I forgot to mention for I just heard that Christian Siriano's shoes are going to be available in Payless come this fall, running about 40-60$ bucks each!! Did you just cream yourself?? So did I :)

AND I forgot to show a couple models that fell during the runway shows, with those 6 inch heels on. poor girls.

A lot of models in London are dropping like flies. Beware of the platform in London ladies!

sew stupid.

being stupid has finally caught up with me. go figure, right, since I just blogged about it. 

car is wrecked. life is over. =(

I'll probably be blogging a lot more now.. fashion world is better than reality at the moment. 

sew amnesia.

Well, last night was probably the best night of my life. Alex and I took a little roadtrip to Athens, and seriously partied our asses off, like the crazy little girls we are. Super hella fun :) Totally priceless. We could of died.. no one knew we were there, went with dead phones, meeting up with people we didn't even know, smart, right? But whatevaaaaa. All expenses paid, new friends made, all memories fade. Purple Rain. We really have angels watching over us. I love my new parents!

Now I'm just chillin on Alex's couch, eating rice and feeling death.. But last night was totally worth the pain this morning:) Gotta love life, just roll with it. I just think 'are you going to remember staying at home thinking what if, or actually taking a chance, livin life on the wild side.' I want to die with 10 million pictures in my library, flat broke, and a closet full of designer shoes. You're only given 1 life, 1 chance.. why  not run with it. 

Here's Zac Posen's Fall 2009 shoes. His line was awesome. His shoes.. not so much. 

They look like cinderella shoes stuck in an awful retro renaissance era. Not feelin' em. 

sew solemates.

Well, due to my 'going-out-ness' last night, I missed updating.. but here I am, at the crack of dawn catching up on what I missed. So, this morning was a tranny mess. I wake up on time for class, already dressed and ready to go, haha, just a little pant-less, and as I'm looking for my car in the parking lot, I remember 'oh yeah, it's not here.' Lovely. So much for going to class. But duh, now I have time to blog!! And the first thing I do, look up Christian Siriano's line. (I'll blog about Zac Posen later, time to go back to sleep.)

I love the fabric and color palette he uses. His line is flawless. And of course, LOVED THE SHOES.
