These heels are killing me!

Egh. Have you noticed the new trends in heels? How can you not! They are at least 4 inches tall- and you drool over them knowing you'd break your neck if you even tried.
I really wish I could wear them, because they are soo f-ing sexy but lets be honest- they either make you look like a giant or you have something stuck up your ass. Oh! Well there are a select few...I'd guess 2% of the population that are short enough and skilled enough to look perfectly normal prancing around in those high, high killers. But that's just not me. I'm searching for heels that are just as sexy and don't remind you every step-that your walking in high heels.
---And omg did I get soooo lucky to find this segment on Ehow.com : How to find comfortable high heels by Melody :

Instructions
Difficulty: Moderate
Things You’ll Need:

* A positive attitude
* Patience
* A pair of footies

Step1
Look for a more substantial heel than a stiletto. Balancing the entire weight of your body on a couple of pencil points is stressful on your feet and ankles.
Step2
Try on pumps, sling backs, and heels with ankle straps. You’re always more comfortable if you’re sure you won’t be stepping out of your shoes.
Step3
Dedicate an entire day to shoe shopping ... I'm not kidding around. The ***KEY*** to finding comfortable high heels is to try on many, many heels … as many as it takes. You cannot be embarrassed to ask the shoe guy to bring out 20 pair if necessary. Try out various brands, styles, and heel heights. The ideal shoe will be comfortable the very first time you try it on. Walk around a bit and try to detect even the slightest hint of tightness or rubbing. Also, make sure you have plenty of arch support.

HAPPY SHOPPING!!!

Chanel's New Look

Chanel's Spring 2009 collection brings geometric shapes to the runway.
Once plain cocktail dresses are paired with square or circle shaped sleeves and tight fitting above the knee bottoms. And bottoms can’t run or hide from the geometric down pour either, many skirts are constructed like flat circles, semicircles, upside-down triangles and diamonds.
All these large shapes, either on sleeves of bottoms are well-balanced with fitted waists pulled tight with basic belts.
Chanel's theme for spring is conservative and sexy. Women can be sexy while still covering up by adding lace, sky high heels and fitted belts to business like apparel. Ordinary suit jackets are fitted or cut off at the waists. Pencil skirts are cut just above the knees, some being paired with empire waists. There is an emphasis on big and small attire, like large round sleeve caps with skinny skirts.
Necklines are generally large, suit jackets have large lapel collars or are medium and double breasted. There are v-shaped necklines and off the shoulder sleeves.Popular tunic dresses are not fitted and barely shorter than the knee. In sheer material, sleeves are layered at the cap and flow down to the wrist. Midsections are emphasized with high, below the busy black belts and bows. Pants are skinny and long to the ankle or baggy and low at the waist. The show changes feel and the popular sight are evening gowns. Long dresses flow to the feet and are tight at the waist.
Chanels Spring collection brings mostly neutral colors with a few hints of cool blue, light pink, light peach and purple patterns. Of course there are still the classic Chanel black and white contrasts. More popular color combination's are grey with black, light pink with dark blue, light pink with black, grey with white, and purple with black.
Prints are showing geometric shapes this spring. There are imperfect looking plaids where horizontal and vertical lines form box like patterns. These patterns are large or very tiny. Stripes. There are large, abstract looking floral prints.
Chanel pairs simple garments with new details. There are large black bows that emphasize the waist or just add oomph to the ensemble. Frilly balls are attached to the back of daring high heels adding a playboy like appeal to once ordinary garments. Tops are characterized with frilly edges and lace gloves. Long gowns are gathered at the waist and sometimes include many layers.Business-like clothes are keep alive with new looks- they are tight fitting have sexy new details. Suit tops and skirts are paired with extremely high heels with frilly balls. Large necklaces add character to shapeless tunic dresses. Leggings are worn with almost every outfit and are cut off under the kneecaps. See through lace and sheer evening gowns=sexy.


And I'm loving every minute of this sexy new look. ;)

Caution.

So tell me why I'm walking to class the other day and I'm approached by a bright yellow piece of caution tape wrapped around a girls neck--yup this was a scarf. Now I will say that even I am very guilty of some fashion mishaps, but I have no clue what this girl was thinking. To me, it was way to bright of a statement to be made in this cold weather. But surprisingly, yesterday I saw the same scarf on a guy walking to the cafe and it actually looked okay. Does gender differ the look of a garment?
Uh yes. To me at least. And I'm not talking about a dress on a guy- which of course looks different because of the different body type. I'm talking about items like this scarf, or a pair of kicks or a t-shirt etc. Why did this scarf look almost acceptable on the guy I saw?
I think the scarf looked better on the guy I saw because of the masculine appearance of it. When you think caution tape- you think men--crime scenes--male construction workers--all these things that seem manly to me. So the scarf kinda blended with the look of the guy. On the chick I saw, it looked very out of place- I was almost blinded by its brightness. Not really something you would normally expect to see on a girl---this dangerous vibe. I think we are accustomed to seeing girls...looking like girls.
But though I wasn't totally in love with the scarf, I'm defiantly open to the switching of masculine and feminine clothes- I think it's awesome.
