I actually enjoyed it and found lots of amazing items that are in my price range. Fabulous. I kept on reading and found a great article on fashion bloggers and was re-introduced to Jane from Sea of Shoes who I had originally found due to the stylish Megan.
Jane is a 16 year old Texan that has a love of fashion with a great sense of style along with a fascination for shoes!
In the Teen Vogue article she explains her love for shoes, "There's something really compelling about shoes. I collect them and keep them on shiny shelves, like miniature works of art."
I loved how shoes were works of art to her, because I agree with her as well and they provide a great accessory to a room.
Take a peek at here room:
How amazing do her shelves look? I think it's a great use of the space, it adds color and interest and it's a perfect alternative to a traditional teen girls room. This looks like the room of a young woman and shows off her sense of style and what she loves without venturing off into being cheesy. I think we have a bit of a decorator on are hands along with a stylista.
While Jane loves to dress in thrift store finds when it comes to her shoes she means business and her shelves are filled with designer names. So I go onto her site to oh and ah, because her picks are not in my budget.
Enter the Gap and we common folks can now enjoy a bit of high end design. Pierre Hardy a well know designer in the accessory world who began his career with Christian Dior has designed a new shoe for his collaboration with the Gap.
For $98 this can be yours:
Reviews are still mixed on them. I'm not sure how I feel.I like the straps and the height, but I'm not loving the white base and that they are plastic.
What do you think?
One thing I'm sure of is that I want to make a trip to Texas and get a peek into Jane's closet and perhaps borrow some shoes. I hope she's a 7 and a half!
i LOVE teen vogue about as much as I love "mama" vogue
ReplyDeleteyou're a 7 and a half!! cinderella! haha (i'm 8.5 arg)
ReplyDeletenot loving the gap ones too much. I think you guys would all be so disappointed in my clothes shopping trip today: I was really set on finding some trendier/ higher-end items but i ended up finding sweats & pjs at Gap and Pink (my guilty pleasure!) I wear sweats almost every day (before I leave the house) so I just can't fight them & got some cute ones.
But i am in srious need of some fashion inspiration! ahhhh help!
I'm so jealous of 16 year old that is very bad. She has so much style and a way better closet than me.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I could walk properly in those shoes. I'm so klutzy.
oh man, i found that blog a while back and haven't ventured back since...2 hours later my eyes were hurting because i had been sitting there so long going, "what the hell, a 16 year old really lives like this!!" but, of course, kept reading, nonetheless...
ReplyDeleteI just wrote a long rant about said teen and conspicuous consumption, but I guess someone has to keep Tamara Mellon employed.
ReplyDeleteI am always amazed at how fresh and fashion forward the content of teen vogue is! I wish they'd had something that cool when I was in high school. i do find myself feeling irritated towards a 16 year old with such an awesome wardrobe but I think it's mostly sour grapes talking!
