Not content with basic ballet flats, stilettos and the humble ankle boot, Paris Fashion Week introduced to us shoes that defied description.
Shoes are not just there to sit pretty on our feet anymore. Thanks to Alexander McQueen, footwear is looking set to be all about making a statement. OK, so I can’t really imagine mere mortals gracing pavements wearing these mind-blowing pieces of art, but they do inspire us to think outside the ‘shoe box’ so to speak!
For ordinary-day outlandish footwear, try Acne’s collection of wedges, as seen on many a style blogger:

Wedges are a firm fixture in Spring/Summer 2010 collections:

I ummed and ahhed at these beautiful Zara suede lace-up wedges when I went shopping yesterday, and finally relented – it was my birthday after all!
I love seeing outrageous shoes on the catwalk, but those McQueen ones are unbelievable! They look like hooves or something. Thanks for sharing!

I’ve been trying to think of a word to accurately describe Mcqueen’s ‘boots’ and am now going to follow your lead – hooves it is!!!
Thanks fro your comment

I adore those Alexander McQueens. They’ve been on my checklist for quite some time now.
Not wearable they say, that’s what they said about pants on women
love your blogmix!

Hey Jeni!
Thanks for peeking over to S.E.
You know those Alexander McQ shoes? There’s something I really love about them….not so much that I would ever buy/wear them; but I think they are FANTASTIC, nonetheless.
BTW, you’re blog reminds me of Sea of Shoes; you’ve got that whole fabulous-chic vibe. Count me as a fan.
Best,
Cole

Wow. Those McQueen shoes are absolutely ridiculous! And your new ones are cute!
I wish I had the balance and a job that allowed me to wear heels occasionally!

[...] accessories? Sunglasses, shoes, and bags are all functional and stylish, though they’re often taken to ridiculous extremes. Will you wear something just because it’s fashionable and complements your look, or does it [...]

There are a few things that I have noticed. If you don’t think that money rules the world then you might just be trying to fool yourself. Your perception of the world tends to change once you have enough money so that you do not have to worry about your everyday needs. I have always been pretty happy but I didn’t really start feeling calm until I started making some decent money. Of course, I could not have done this without the help of some great software that I received from Autopilot Income Machines. I already knew a little bit about making money on the Internet but to me, it looks like anyone could do this, even if they knew next to nothing about making money online. Autopilot Income Machines is a simple method that teaches anyone how to make your own income generating money pages that pay you directly. It also teaches you how to get free traffic from all over the internet to those pages quickly, easily and consistently and then goes on to show you how to quickly improve your results to generate the most amount of income you possibly can. It also uncovers a secret traffic strategy that lets you dominate almost any market that you choose. Right from the start you get 120 ready made money pages, complete with everything you need to get started quickly. You also get the auto setup software that automates the setup of 25 of your top money making web pages so you can get started with the traffic secrets. There is much more to this but what I am here to tell you is that it is simple enough so that just about anybody can get started in this. Also, here is a little secret. If you go to the salespage at http://lnk.co/G89CK and scroll down to the order button, you will see that this software and income earning informational program has already been heavily discounted to a price of only $37. However, if you don’t click on the buy button and instead just close out or otherwise try to leave the page, you will be presented with another option. If you click cancel, you will then be presented with yet another option. If you click cancel on that page, you will then be able to take advantage of an additional $10 discount on this software. So, getting it for only $27 is really quite a steal! I say take advantage of it while you can. Hopefully that sales page will still be setup that way when you get there. http://lnk.co/G89CK
