OBSESSION DU JOUR.

If there is one summer footwear must have this season, it would definitely be these not- so- cheap but oh so covetable Chanel espadrilles. What is so appealing in these classic slip-ons that make them 400 dollars (canvas) or even 500 (leather) worth? Is it the in-your-face CC logo stitched on front? Or the luxurious Los Angeles feel it gives your feet? I will never know.. But you have to give it to the house for making the brand so iconic.. Making girls pay a humungous, if not out of this world amount just to own a piece of the legacy. If you think about it though, 500 dollars is not so much compared to 6000 for a Chanel 5.5 flap bag and you still can say you own a piece of Chanel. Genius branding and marketing, right? I remember telling myself how i will never ever pay this ridiculous amount for a pair of fabric slippers but lately found myself imagining how amazing i would look on the beach with a bikini top, denim cutoffs, a cocktail and these beauties. Tempting, tempting.. PHOTO CREDIT: songofstyle.com, sincerelyjules.com, lovelybylucy.com, theblondesalad.com

THE TALE OF THE ELUSIVE SNEAKERS.

if there is ONE pair of shoes that i have been longing, searching (read: HUNTING) for so long now, i guess it would be the elusive isabel marant bazil (or bekett) sneakers. i have been on the wait list in all of the online shops you could imagine for god knows how long in any color that would be available (but always preferred this ecru one which is unfortunately like the holy grail) but never, i mean NEVER managed to track them down. so when i arrived in paris, my first stop was of course the avenue victor hugo, where a new store has opened! it was a majorrr feeling in there. i mean all the sales assistant were wearing isabel marant head to toe and they had EVERY shoe you could ever dream of. i tried em all, but my heart definitely belongs to these sneakers. and like almost all fairy tales end, WE LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER. xx

THE SHOE PROJECT | PAIR NUMERO XXVIV- XXXII.

NEW SHOES ALERT: all of these are very unique and out of my comfort zone but i love each and every pair so dearly, i cannot even decide which one i love the most.
OR I DO. the hello kitty sneakers are like a childhood dream come true.
it´s not a secret that i love this cat.
you may think i am crazy but when i wore them yesterday i couldn´t help but prance a bit like an old lady prancing in her new chanels.
ps: i got a new fisheye lens! :)
