things i found today...

another day off of work...another day with my face stuck to a computer screen...

i've been a shoe fanatic since day one, only as i get older my taste becomes increasingly expensive and without the financial means to back it up. a girl can still dream though, right?

i discovered this next fashion line after last years' "avant guardian" issue of surface magazine featured the new york design duo as one to watch for pushing fashion to the next plane. i completely agree. i love how they play with shapes and proportion and use eco friendly materials. and let me tell you how much i love this movement in fashion where being environmentally conscious doesn't mean you have to dress like a damn hippy.

listen up sneakerheads. i know there are many of you who never remove a pair of sneakers from the box for fear of soiling them. and those of you who once you have, will never wear them again...

on page 380 of the unbelievably massive 640 page september W mr louboutin discusses plans to open a made-to-order store where a woman can have a shoe built entirely from scratch made to the specific measurements of her feet, or have an existing model revamped to her color or material specifications. for someone whose shoes regularly retail for $500-$800 i can only image what it would cost to have one made for your foot only. couture shoes? sounds like the ultimate luxury to me.


and last but certainly NOT least...
after rummaging through the past few posts on one of my absolute favorite sites, thecoolhunter.net who did i happen to stumble upon under the title "shoe biz-the world's best"??
