What was Old is New Again...

What comes around, goes around...correct? That is especially true when associated with fashion. Sure there about 100+ ways to design, re-design, style and re-style a shirt, pant, skirt and shoes but in the end it all points to the original version...the vintage original!

It is our duty as "Fashionistas" and "Shoenistas" to recognize the stylistic ingenuity of the many talented designers that have blessed us with trends that may be re-vamped, but live on forever! I guess certain designers had the exact same thoughts for this upcoming Fall season. Channeling vintage divas from yester-year has inspired them to re-create the most alluring shoes. Piperlime has chosen to make a point of this. Check out their, "First Look at Fall" to view all the hot trends chock-full of Booties, Oxfords, MaryJanes and the "it" color of the Fall/Winter season, Purple. Not to mention the great prices! Although I'd love to rock my sandals all year round, I occasionally yearn to slip into some wicked boots!

Wedding Bells are Ringing

Tis' the season for getting married! I actually love going to weddings...why you ask? Where else can you go dressed to the nines and are able to eat, drink and dance until you throw up- for FREE??? Love it, love it, love it. What I do hate? Those god-awful dresses and stripper-esque lucite shoes. Yuck! Seriously, if my man of SEVEN YEARS actually grows balls big enough to ask me, then I'll be sporting a really chic suit and these Christian Louboutin Anemone darlings...
Hell, I'd wear these alone!

But what should the more traditional bride slip into? My take on it is that, just because you cannot see them, doesn't mean they should not look good. Allow them to be either precious keepsakes or shoes that you are able to wear again without the bride-shoe stigma attached to them.

For instance, if you are more into memorabilia check out Sergio Rossi's collection of bridal shoes. He not only offers classic styles, but also the option of time stamping you and hubby's name and the date of your nuptuals inside your precious shoe!




That would satisfy your "something new", but what if you were looking for something blue? The ever mythical Christian Louboutin blue-soled wedding shoe, was once available, but because of some legal battles the line was discontinued. I'll show you them just to tease you anyhow...

But, if you still crave that "something blue" on your feet, then there are definitely a few options. 1. You can dye a pair of satin, white shoes or 2. You can just purchase a pair! Brian Atwood has created two in particular that I am a fan of. They are two different shades of blue, but do the job superbly!



Add a little "vintage" to the mix for the "something old". This pair from Haberdashery, an online vintage shop, can be a beautiful accent to the perfect dress!


I've searched the web endlessly for shoes that can be borrowed, and came up with nill! So, instead I've decided to give you a few more "new" options from My Glass Slipper. Enjoy!
