  5. I always love seeing innovative heel designs, whether or not I would ever be brave enough to don them is another thing, but I still love to admire them!

  11. wawww i love the first look, it's so elegant!

  12. LOL... I can't imagine myself wearing wheel mags on my head even if it's the height of fashion. And those rubber gloves too.

    I admire the patience and ingenuity of the lego hat but again, I won't be caught dead wearing it.

  50. The McQueen stuff is just terrific... they used the same headgear for the window display (which was made from recycled props, so it's all good). That clutch is quite practical as well... or so I'm trying to tell the husband ;-) Love that Chanel heel!

    Oh, and I'm drooling over your last houndstooth post as well. It's all over Europe at the moment :)

    ReplyDelete
