WHAT IS GOING ON??!
Lately, trend prediction has become like trying to ask a hummingbird for the time. Seems like less than 3 years ago the ’90s came back, went away and now they’re back again but now its specifically the LATE 90s-early 2000′s -at its worst, frumpy and self-consciously futuristic (you know I’m looking at you, Miu Miu SS11), at its best, a playful, grungy twist on a classic (Chanel SS11).
So that means the chunky shoe trend (or “orthopedic chic” as your mom probably called it) is back in full force, but in a beautifully minimal fashion. All over the catwalk, chunky platforms, frumpy wedges, manly oxfords, and yes, again with the combat boots. UK site, Zalando, seems to have it all.
If the ’90s ate the ’70s and regurgitated them into a sandal, this is what they would look like. In other words, my past rave-attending self would have dated the lead singer of LIVE for a chance at these babies.
These shoes remind me of that boy in high school who was my best friend for years and was secretly in love with me, but then when he finally kissed me I felt like I was kissing my brother, but then he got married and only then did I realize I was totally in love with him. Apparently, I must have these perfect, comfortable shoes, or regret it forever.
Oh, glorious hooves of burlap and twine! Where have you been all my life?
I think they call this platform/flat hybrid “flatforms.” Or I could be making that up.
I had some Doc Marten wingtip Mary Janes that were like my first born…and I would have thrown them to the wolves the second these came into my life.
Hm, what does that say about me?
Yeah, I know. I’ve always thought the sneaker/heel combo was a travesty. But it’s cool – this one is covered in chainmail and has a Diesel label on it! Plus, the monotone black makes them totally wearable.
When the French Club cancelled our trip to Paris, I consoled my 15 year old self with a brand new pair of platform brogues. Pretty cool, right? Except that I wore mine with floral palazzo pants, a poet’s blouse and a jaunty beret. Live ‘n learn.
A palazzo pant…floral hmmmm very interesting
wouldn’t do that now would u?

I am sorry but I have to say it, that second shoe is so out of place it looks like something that people would have worn during the war, the others are stunning (thus making the 2nd one look even more out of place).

Shoes, shoes, shoes. Don’t you just love them? I hope this is a trend that takes off because I can see myself wearing a few of these. If I had to pick a favorite it would have to be the last pair.

I have to agree with the poster above about that second shoe, I can imagine my grandmother wearing it or it making up part of some strange 60s school uniform!

So many shoes. I’m glad I’m a man and there aren’t so many options for us. It would be a nightmare to have all these possibilities, I wouldn’t know what to choose. I understand now why women spend so much time shopping.

I don’t understand the Campbell’s obsession -___- I really, really don’t. It’s like every fashion bloggers owns a pair of these and I get so tired of looking around blogs and seeing the same thing:
1 Button Down Top
1 High-waited Short/Skirt
1 Pair of Campbells
And perhaps a pair of knee high socks….I remember seeing that nearly everyday, especially in the last few months.
I understand that a lot of the get inspiration from each other….but point of fashion blogging is to express your own POV. There’s no point if you’re just going to look like a carbon copy of the next blogger :C Okay…rambling over.

I agree that is very helpful to make a glamorous look.
Really beautiful shoes!
This season dresses, and skirts will remain must haves… But this season fashion designers have also given us all kind of fun fashions, fashions that will offer wonderful vivid prints, stripes, and geometric prints… The main theme this spring is somewhat tailored, and classic, but with a touch of bold, and edgy. Beautiful footwear collections !
damn, wish i was a lady now
I love the white boots they are a must have
