Hey- I just read that if you wear a mens size nine you can buy Bernie Madoff's Belgian Shoes collection at auction - lol. So rich - you know - walking around in his shoes. I'd mix-n-match and wear a different shoe on each foot:
I may have posted this pic before, but I came across a better pic today when these showed up on my blog list.
This pic by Agustin Casasola is of a prostitute in Mexico City. The pic isn't dated but the timeframe of this exhibit is 1900-1940. I assume it was taken towards the end of that.
Anyways, I'm really feeling these heel boots(?) with the buckle:
I don't like purple so Ima pass on those, but the pewter pair are pretty understated, all things considering....I think you could easily pull them off on a night out as long as everything above it is classic and in the right colours.
That Lanvin x H&M collaboration was so beyond underwhelming. The shoes are pretty bad in person. Sweat pants weren't that bad, for what they were, though.

Wool, right?
Thanks for the heads up on the shoes. I saw a few eBay pics where they looked kinda flakey (literally). I was suspicious of them because they're only $80.

Yeah, I've heard that some of the shoes are already flaking like crazy. Good grief. That's H&M for you, though.
The sweatpants are wool, and if memory serves there are some that are a wool/lycra blend.
My intuition is telling me that none of the stuff is going to be worth the price you're going to pay on eBay for it.
Doesn't even come close to touching the Acne x Lanvin collaborations in terms of quality (and also in terms of price, though).
I would pass on H&M shoes, Herm. I know you're a fan of Lanvin, but in my experience, H&M's product quality is hit-or-miss. I have a pair of H&M slacks and a dress that are made beautifully and look like they cost more than $30, but I've also come across a fabric that literally melted under medium-heat from my iron.
Retailers like H&M and Forever 21 are great for trendy items you don't expect to wear very often. As a petite woman, I like the fact that H&M offers European sizes which are smaller than equivalent (yet inflated) American sizes, but I unfortunately cannot rely on such places for staple items due to questionable textile quality.

To be honest, I probably couldn't tell a Lanvin from a Forever 21! I mean, I know what they are 'cause the internet tells me, but really I just like what I like regardless.
If any of you are interested, Atelier New York (http://www.ateliernewyork.com/) is having a 40% off autumn/winter sale. You just have to email them and ask if you want to order an item.
The Maison Martin Margiela e-shop (http://eboutique.maisonmartinmargiela.com/chooseYourCountry.asp) is also having a 40% off sale if you use the discount code "USMMMCONFIDENTIAL" at checkout. It doesn't apply to all items, but you can get some really good deals on some nice stuff.
One of the things that draws me to heels is the shape - the fluidity and angle of a well-designed heel to toe plane can be one of the sexiest things ever. Cloaking it makes me wonder why anyone would bother suffering a 3"heel.

I just saw another picture of these and remembered this post - the shoes are Marni. Here they are in more autumnal colourways.

Also, this right here is such a fly ass look:
doesn't a tray come with that jacket?
Didn't you post these shoes before? in a not-great brown colour?
Sorry, missed this one.
Yes I did. In that pleathery caramel color. These are from the new season. MUCH nicer.
These are from the same collection, I love 'em but I lack the balls or tact to pull 'em off:

Cankle covers?
Looks like something Alicia Keys would wear:

Nobody's perfect.
Thankles on the other hand...errr, foot...
Thigh + ankles.
My invention, so I should've said Thankles??.
I don't get it. Maybe I don't want to know.
Basically.
I'm just saying that their ankles are as thick as their thighs. I thought I was being clever. Nevermind.
