20.03.2009 17:45 - Let's get Entrenched!

There"s no denying that a classic trench-coat is one of those must-have year-round staples that can always be counted on to up the glam quotient of your look. As winter slowly but surely gives way to spring , the trench is more essential than ever- especially when that famous adage April Showers bring May flowers comes to fruition. Making it even more fun to get entrenched in a trench (I think that"s my new favorite saying) is the variety of updated trench styles: organza trenches, sheer trenches, ruffled trenches, bold colored trenches, lightweight trenches, and so much more that will have you wishing for more rainy days.

image

A classic tan trench is always a safe bet, but jewel toned and bold colored trenches will give your look an extra kick- not to mention the fact that they"re totally on par with the bold color craze. Whichever style you choose, investing in a trench is a safe bet - you can wear a trench over a turtleneck during the lingering winter days, and over a thin tank on chilly spring nights.

Katie Holmes recently wore a voluminous trench coat in Paris and it was lovely! I can"t tell if it is a trench coat dress or just a very full coat, but it looks so comfortable.  Steal Kate"s polished look with just two pieces.

Height of chic: Carla Bruni in her black Christian Dior pumps


image

 

There is one immutable, unimpeachable lesson in style we can all learn from Carla Sarkozy"s state visit (apart from how to have "official" hair without getting an old lady do, how to wear this season"s colours, and how to arrange those thoroughbred limbs without attracting too much or too little attention) - the flat pump is THE big fashion must have for spring/summer.

 

Now, we all know that the main reason Mme Sarkozy was sporting flats is because she wanted to avoid towering, Princess Diana-like, over her Napoleon-sized husband.

image

 

For the past four or five seasons, we have become so inured to seeing women of all ages staggering around in chunky heels and platforms, unable to negotiate steps, or cobbles, or any distance at all, with haggard, pained looks on their faces, that to see someone with a spring in her step was a refreshing and strangely liberating experience.

 

Wearing flat shoes does wonders for your posture, too. In heels, your bottom is sticking out, your shoulders tend to be forward and your calves are strained.

 

But in flatties your shoulders are back and your hips forward, which has the immediate effect of flattening your stomach.

 

Of those on offer this spring/summer, the best flats fall into two groups: the ballet pump or, for the more fashion forward and funky among you, the gladiator sandal (if you are short or have chunky legs, avoid those that snake up the calf, because they will make your legs look shorter).

image
Linea Paolo Avary Flat - $109.95
These flats feature a squared off toe that is highlighted in contrasting patent leather. They come in three color schemes - white/black, pale pink/beige and just black.

Though shoes are a great way to add a punch of color to your look, you also must have a collection of neutral shoes that are versatile enough to go with almost anything in your wardrobe. Black, taupe, cream, grey and other neutrals are essentials in any woman’s closet. If you are looking for some cute flats, here are three neutral ballerina flats from Nordstrom that you will love.

image

These cute flats feature perforated leather trimmed with glossy patent. They are a simple style that is jazzed up with the perforations. These shoes are from the Stuart Weitzman Spring 2009 collection and available for pre-order right now online at Nordstrom.

French Sole Sloop Flat - $94.95
Black flats don’t have to be boring. These shiny patent flats from French Sole feature a unique shape that is as comfortable as it it chic. They have a slipper-like appeal but are all dress up in glossy patent leather. These run small, so order the next half size up. They also come in pink, silver and other colors.

image

image

These shoes utilize Nike Air cushioning for maximum comfort. They come in a variety of colors from lilac to dark chocolate. I love the contrast stitching and the cute Mary Jane strap. You can get these casual shoes from Cole Haan right now at Neiman Marcus for $168.

  На 17 март ирландците честваха националния си празник - деня на Св. Патрик (St-Patricks-day.com).
  Светецът (386-461 г.) е покровител на Ирландия, донесъл християнството там и с молитвите си успял да прогони всички змии от острова. Легендата разказва, че ползвал трилистна детелина - достъпен за хората пример за Светата Троица.
  След смъртта му на 17 март 461 г. зелените листенца се превърнали в символ на непреклонния ирландски дух. Денят, в който се почита Св. Патрик, е един от най-веселите и живописни национални празници и се отбелязва с шумни шествия.Тържествата се украсяват с всички символи на Ирландия - зеленият цвят и растението "шам-рок", което наподобява детелина и не расте никъде другаде.
 Празникът е католически, но се празнува от все повече хора по целия свят. Традицията повелява на този ден да се носи зелено, музиката и уискито да са ирландски и всеки да стане част от празника, независимо дали е ирландец, или не.

Nine West is one of my "go-to" shoe brands. I know I"ll always find something stylish and affordable, and I"ll usually leave wanting several more pair than I came in for. Needless to say, narrowing this list down wasn"t easy. Here are a few of my favorite shoes from Nine West. They are also available in  Bulgaria :)  The stores I am sure about are situated in Sofia and Varna.

18.03.2009 08:02 - The Music & The Shoes

Sometimes new and shiny, sometimes old and comfy, shoes have been a symbolic and staple item in songwriting for decades. Think about it: Shoes are something that just about everyone on the planet can relate to all while meaning something a bit different to each individual. Fancy shoes, comfy shoes, old shoes, new shoes, dancing shoes- shoes can change an attitude and define a generation. So here you go, our highly sought after list of “Top 10 Songs about Shoes!”

10. Who Wears These Shoes –Elton John:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhNqwVNLksU

“If these crazy dreams don’t kill me
It’s more than I can take from you
Not knowing where or when I’ll see you
Not knowing darling who wears these shoes”

Sort of a Cinderella story with a twist, our boy Reginald (AKA Elton) has once again created a track that ha been utilized in countless television commercials and print ads to represent a highly sought after brand. Does he do this on purpose, or is it merely a coincidence?

9. Goody Two-Shoes –Adam Ant:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3g5G0PFuXQ

“Goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes
Goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes
Don’t drink, don’t smoke - what do you do?
Don’t drink, don’t smoke - what do you do?
Subtle innuendos follow

Must be something inside”Adam Ant helped to define a generation of “growing up 80’s” tweens and teens…the make-up…the clothes…and we got to see it all on MTV! My guess was that Adam Ant was the farthest anyone could possibly be from being a “goody two shoes”, but that’s what made the song so memorable.

8. Walking in my Shoes –Depeche Mode:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYLfIUlM4gM

“Now I’m not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes”

An extreme cult following is what’s kept Depeche Mode playing on the airwaves, for they haven’t releaased anything new for some time now. A creepy sort of sound combined with some haunting lyrics leaves listeners thinking about what they’ve just heard. Sure, it’s easy to judge someone, or even condemn them when we don’t know what they themselves have been through on their journey through life.

7. Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes – Paul Simon:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OafqYNCzq5U

“She’s a rich girl
She don’t try to hide it
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes”

Whether he’s teaming up with Art Garfunkel, or flying solo in his musical career, Paul Simon is simply one of the most talented singer/songwriters in American music history. Lots of good tunes came out of Paul’s mind, including this classic about a rich girl that he’s referring to…could you imagine actually having diamonds on the soles of your shoes? I can’t imagine that they’d be very comfortable to walk in.

6. Old Brown Shoe –The Beatles:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSn3w_ZlJSo

“Want a love that’s right
Right is only half of what’s wrong
I want a short-haired girl
who sometimes wears it twice as long
Now I’m stepping out this old brown shoe
Baby I’m in love with you
I’m so glad you came here
It won’t be the same now, I’m telling you”

Any way you listen to it, one must agree that the Beatles wrote some interesting music, and nearly everyone is a fan of at least one song, be it in it’s original form, been redone or simply sampled into one of today’s top 40 hits. (If you want to add a bit of edge to this classic Beatles tune, might I suggest the out of the ordinary cover by the hard-core band “Korn”.) Anyways, there’s a symbol in this tune…something comfortable- an old brown shoe.

5. New Shoes –Paolo Nutini:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eullRZSuJbw

“Hey, I put some new shoes on,
And suddenly everything is right,
I said, hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody’s smiling,
It so inviting…”

This song has a catchy beat that couples quite nicely with the unique vocal stylings of Paolo Nutini. Paolo has a somewhat light, raspy voice that makes listeners of all ages truly believe that putting a pair of new shoes on can change the world…or at least one’s personal aspect of it. I happen to agree with this theory, as there’s nothing quite like your first day out in new shoes! Oh, and new socks are a nice touch.

4. Boogie Shoes- KC and the Sunshine Band:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oq1MTRfiXMU

“I Want To Put On My My My My My
Boogie Shoes Just To Boogie With You”

The disco era wouldn’t have been complete without this tune from KC and the boys in 1978- a time in American history when bellbottoms were groovy and John Travolta made white suits with black shirts totally happenin’ in a far out kinda way. Time of your life, ‘eh Johnny?

3. Footloose- Kenny Loggins:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7OyWvyt6mI

“Now I gotta cut loose, footloose
Kick off my Sunday shoes
Please Louise pull me off of my knees
Jack, get back
Come on before we crack
Lose your blues everybody cut footloose”

This was a great song from the 80’s- the title track from the original motion picture soundtrack “Footloose” starring Kevin Bacon as a teenaged boy who loved to party and moved to a town where there were “No Dances Allowed” due to a horrific post-prom car accident. The moral of the story? Everybody’s gotta cut “Footloose” every once in a while!

2. Blue Suede Shoes -Carl Perkins:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1Ond-OwgU8

“Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Don’t you step on my Blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.”

Even though this song was made incredibly popular by Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins was the man who wrote this baby and recorded it for millions of fans for both current-at-the-time and future generations. I personally have a pair of blue suede boots…and if anyone stepped on them, I’d be pretty upset.

1. The Boots are Made for Walking - Nancy Sinatra, Jr.:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5qx3fuTUHM

“These boots are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do
one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.”

The only female “junior” in music history sang a song about her boots walking all over a guy that has seemingly walked all over her. With a bit of a country “twang”, Miss Jr. gets her point across in quite a unique fashion, for this song has been included in many a movie soundtrack, including “Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery” during the introduction to the “fem-bots” scene. I absolutely love the boots these go-go looking robots were wearing…great stuff!

18.03.2009 07:10 - The Movies & The Shoes

From “I love those…” to “I wouldn’t want to be in their…” shoes have undoubtedly held a special place in Hollywood history. Come to think of it, shoes in general have a general oversight that goes unmatched by any other article of clothing or accessory. Civilized people, mostly of the female population, will spend hours on end shopping the malls to find the perfect pair, and usually can’t pick just one.

So once again, many thanks go out to the “Big Screen” for showing us that this passion for shoes that we women have doesn’t go unnoticed in the life of Hollywood!

10. “The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm”- 1962: This story brings us through the lives of Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm and three of their original fairy tales, including “The Elves and the Shoemaker”. This tale tells of a poor, old cobbler who, despite his hard and honest work, cannot get by on his meager earnings. If you don’t have the cash to buy leather, you can’t make and sell any shoes. Without any shoes, you can’t bring in any money. That’s where the elves come in. One good turn deserves another, and the shoemaker and his wife soon had enough money to live properly. As for the details, well, you’ll just have to watch the movie.

9. “Blue Suede Shoes” 1985: Bet you thought that this was going to be an Elvis flick! Well, you’re wrong, as the title song was originally recorded by rock’s legendary musician, Carl Perkins. This made-for-TV movie is a documentary, and is available for your viewing enjoyment n DVD. It’s all-star cast, including Barbara Bach, Ringo Starr and Eric Clapton play tribute to Mr. Perkins in their own, unique way. If you’re a fan of fifties music, this is a must see. If you’re a US history buff, the music of this era helped to define the current music genres around the globe.

8. “A Saintly Switch” aka “In Your Shoes”: 1999 brought quite a few impacts onto the world, never mind to the screen. This made-for-television, this intense perception comedy delves quite deeply into many modern day issues within the family unit. Vivica A. Fox and David Alan Grier are married with children, each with complete and utter disrespect for the other. When a potential divorce comes into the picture, the family moves to an old Victorian home in New Orleans, where the kids stumble upon some magic in the attic which they believe is the answer to their parents’ marital bliss. The mom and dad exchange souls (accidentally by the kids, of course) and learn what it’s like to be “in your shoes”. An old, common story takes on a new twist to entertain a new generation of TV viewers.

7. “The Devil Wears Prada” -2006: This one is perfect for our list, as an assistant to a top magazine editor that if you want to “be” the part, you have to “look” the part. Expensive, designer labels replace the average ones filling the closet of Andrea, all while changing her attitude and personal life. Her initial position at “Runway Magazine” was supposed to be a stepping-stone into the world of journalism, but now she’s seriously considering a future with the fashion publication. “Hell on Heels” is the tagline for this flick, as the shoes are certainly the finishing touch to any female’s attitude problem.

image

6. “The Christmas Shoes” -2002: Two separate lives are intertwined when the mother of a young boy becomes terminally ill with a heart condition and the wife of a lawyer declines a position at hubby’s law firm to accept the mom’s position as the head of the school choir.
The young boy wants nothing more than to buy his mom the greatest pair of Christmas shoes ever, and the lawyer is shopping for a gift for his daughter. Based on the gut-wrenching, country song “The Christmas Shoes” by Bob Carlisle, this movie is certain to touch your heart and donate some pretty shoes to The American Heart Association.

image

5. “The Man with One Red Shoe” -1985: What happens when a so-called friend plays a practical joke on Tom Hanks by hiding his shoes…all but one mismatched pair? The CIA follows him, that’s what. And since we’re talking about Tom Hanks, its almost a guarantee that this film is funny. You see, long before the days of Forrest Gump and the Academy Awards, Tom Hanks was hysterically funny in every role he chose, even if he were the one the jokes were being played off of. If you want to laugh, you need to see this flick.

image

4. ‘Dead Man’s Shoes”- 2004: Who hasn’t wanted to avenge a wrong done to someone close to them, especially am immediate family member who can’t defend themselves! That’s the basis for this 2004 film starring Paddy Considine (also the co-writer) as Richard, whose brother is mentally challenged. Never forgiving or forgetting, he becomes an angel of vengeance, utilizing guerilla tactics and other means of retaliation. This thriller is a thrill ride to say the least. 

image

3. “In Her Shoes” -2005: What do 2 sisters, a wicked stepmother, Cameron Diaz and (of course) a closet filled with shoes have in common? A Hollywood movie, that’s what! This 2005 chick-flick, although not seen by me, has gotten rave reviews from everyone that I know. Available for rental on DVD, this is one of those movies that fit nicely into any “girl’s night in”, complete with facials, mani’s and pedi’s, and individual pints of high-end ice-cream.

image

2. “The Wizard of Oz” - 1939: Who could ever forget the bright and colorful “ruby slippers” worn by a then 15-year old Judy Garland as her role of Dorothy in the oh-so-memorable big screen adaptation of the book, “The Wizard of Oz”! And those shoes are in demand! A horrid, wretched witch wants them so badly that she’s willing to “get you and your little dog, too!” All of this over a pair of shoes.

image

1. “Cinderella”- 1947 – present: This flick has been redone in so many different forms, it’s just not funny. While Disney did it the best (as Disney tends to do), my personal favorite is the Rodgers and Hammerstein version with Brandy as the girl in the glass slipper (made for television in 1997). “In My Own Little Corner” is a song that gets stuck in my head quite frequently, and the all-star, multi-ethnic cast including Whoopi Goldberg as the princes mom, Victor Garber as the king, and Paulo Montalban, a Filipino-American Broadway star, as the prince who is smitten by our dear Cinderella. Although we all know the ending to this story, it’s a great musical with a phenomenal cast.

image

Above all for me the top movie which has inspired thousands or even millions of women around the globe is Sex&City. The fans still remember this scene:

Without those glass slippers, Cinderella would still be sweeping the fireplace, and Prince Charming would be in the middle of a nasty divorce from one of her step-sisters. Deprived of her bejeweled pumps, Dorothy would be stranded in Oz. And the old lady who lived in her shoe? Well, she probably would have been better off investing in real estate than in a broken-down old boot.

The female shoe has always been an object of fascination, endowed with mythical power. And, as women from former Philippine First Lady Imelda Marcos (who possessed 3,400 pairs of shoes) to Sex and the City"s Carrie Bradshaw (who one episode realized she"d spent $40,000 on footwear, yet couldn"t afford an apartment) have shown, some women are willing to spend fortunes to be properly shod.

Stuart Weitzman’s Ruby Slippers
$1.2 million

Based on their namesake footwear from The Wizard of Oz, these extravagant slippers were designed for the 2003 Oscars. Unfortunately, they were never worn due to the solemn mood of the times. They are studded with 642 Burma rubies weighing in at 123.33 carats. The settings are made of half a pound of platinum. These shoes were made with the help of Oscar Heyman Bros.

image

Stuart Weitzman’s Cinderella Slippers
$2 million

Worn by singer Alison Krauss at the 2004 Academy Awards, these shoes were Weitzman’s next pair of fantasy-themed slippers. They are studded with 565 Kwiat diamonds—55 carats of clear diamonds and a single 5-carat gem. Unfortunately, they’re probably not made of glass. They are currently on display in Beverly Hills, California.

image

Stuart Weitzman and Le Vian evening shoes
$2 million

Made in conjunction between Stuart Weitzman and the 500-year-old tradition of the Le Vian name, these stunning slippers are made of silver leather set with over 200 carats of precious stones. There are over 185 carats of museum-quality tanzanite gemstones along the ankle bracelets, including the two 16-carat gems hanging from each. Additionally, there are 28 carats of diamonds along the front straps.

image

Harry Winston’s Ruby Slippers
$3 million

While the original ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland were made with sequins, these spectacular slippers designed by Ronald Winston of the House of Harry Winston to mark the classic movie’s fiftieth anniversary used real rubies. The slippers include 4,600 rubies totaling 1,350 carats (as well as 50 carats of diamonds) which took craftsman Javiar Barerra two months to set. Made in 1989, the world’s most expensive shoes were still on sale in 2000.


This pair of alligator boots by Manolo Blahnik comes in at a cool $14000 which is very cheap by comparison. This designer is famous for very high heeled designs and also designs wedding shoes. The good news is that you can buy these fabulous boots and others made of ostrich leather and snake skin in New York. (If animal skins are your thing!)

High heels they are stylish, make us taller and are always part from every runaway fashion shows in Milan, London but are they so comfortable ? What is the price to look stunning and do you have to be masochist to wear some of the high heels shoes.

Probably the first name I can think of when we mention high heels is Victoria Beckham.  She is the example of a woman who does everything on high heels even when she goes out to play golf.
image

image

Ok that is not healthy for our legs, not mentioning who can really walk comfortably in such pairs of shoes . What motive can drive us to go so far?

image

Gasp, a shoe that Victoria can’t walk in? It only took 6 inches.

According Victoria  one of the most exciting designers around at the moment is Giambattista Valli . He has even made a pair of super high platform shoes which he has named the Victoria Shoe.

image

That"s what I call high heel obsession! Now her dream to be "taller" come true. We will not ask whether they are comfortable or not but it is obvious that Vicky has no fear of heights.


image

Victoria Beckham’s fantasticlly vampy heels. Surely one afternoon shopping in one of those pairs will have "fantastic" effect on our legs.


image

This I call EXTREME! Original creation by Briton Antonio Berardi.

image

Some of you probably dream for a pair of Versace even like those above. Good luck to the volunteers who will dare to walk in them :)

Do not get me wrong high heels are the most feminine style and I love them too. But let"s put some limits before we become slaves of our  vanity.

It is well known that the red carpet dictates the next fashion trends. All the attention is focused at the celebreties and their outfit including whose disigner shoes they are wearing. Even those who are not obsessed by the fashion trends take a  look  from curiosity at the fabulous and sometimes not so glamorous looking stars.

When it says "Made in Italy by Salvatore Ferragamo" you can be sure it"s high fashion. And you can be sure you"ll want it.

   Salvatore Ferragamo (Салваторе Ферагамо) е роден на 5 юни 1898г в Бонито, близо до Неапол, Италия.Той е италиански дизайнер на обувки и други обувни принадлежности в началато на 20-ти век.След като създава първият си чифт обувки, когато е само на 9 годинки, за неговата сестра за да ги носи на тяхното първо причастие, младият Salvatore решава, че това е неговата дарба. Той винаги изпитва страст, изработвайки обувки.

image

  След като се записва да учи изработване на обувки в Неапол за година, Ferragamo отваря малък магазин, намиращ се в дома на родителите му. През 1914г., той емигрира в Бостън, където един от неговите братя работи във фабрика за изработване на каубойски ботуши.След известен период прекаран като работник във фабриката и живеейки с оскъдни средства, Ferragamo убеждава брат си да се преместят в алифорния, първо в Санта Барбара и след това в Холивуд.От тук започват успехите на Ferragamo, забелязан още с отварянето на магазина му за поправка и правене на обувки по поръчка, който скоро бива възнаграден и избран измежду многото за дизайнер, изпълняващ поръчки за киното.

image

Обаче неговата добре развиваща се репутация като “Обущаря на звездите” не го задоволява напълно. Той не може да проумее защо неговите обувки са радост за очите, но не твърде удобни за стъпалата, затова той решава да запише анатомия в университета в Южна алифорния.

image
След прекарани 13 години в Съединените щати, Ferragamo се завръща в Италия през 1927г., но този път се остановява във Флоренция. През 1929г., той отваря работилница във Via Mannelli, концентрирайки усилията си в експериментиране с дизайна, налагайки традиции и мотиви от родното си място, наблягайки на удобството и иновациите.
