highfahion jellies forever

Rad! JEAN PAUL GAULTIER X MELISSA - will be available in black, caramel, beige, lime and tangerine.

Nope.You wouldn’t convince me jellies are not cool, or sooo over,
or not suitable for a wedding!
After the great Heart Stilettos by Vivienne Westwood and the
coolest shoe in the world by Zaha Hadid, there will be a new designer style launching in June 2010 this time by Jean Paul Gaultier.
Liv loves melissa shoes: They are eco- and animal friendly and having a great design on a really good price.
Thats my story and I am sticking to it.

(Oh and they don’t pay me or offer me free shoes. I think they should though)

lace it up!

…or add some color part II: With bespoke wedding shoes.
(ha that kinda sounds like a pretty cheap radio ad or something)
But Liv is serious.Some of Hetty Roses bespoke and handmade shoedesigns
a kicking ass bridal shoes.

Handmade out of japanese kimono fabric, if you want to add some color.
Or the lace up petal shoe. Even in pink metallic and the lace detail on the heel
this style still seems really cool to me.

Check out Hetty Roses website for more information.

How rad are all those jazz shoes and hightops?
They come in mens and womens sizes and are designed in New York.

Carla Venticinque-Osborn & Aaron Osborn are not only designing shoes, check out their other projects and artworks.
I am always fascinated by artist- and creative couples who are working together.

Maybe that will become one topic for this blog!?

Ah oui, this shoes are neither vegan, nor green but they are trés chic haute couture from Paris.
I like their traditional techniques and incredible details.

I feel like I am maybe the only fashion obsessed person,
that is not totally crazy about Paris right now.
Liv had always been in love with New York and learned to love London.
Alright: I adore colette and thats already reason enaugh for a weekend trip to Paris every then and when ; )

lil winter bride

Liv doesn’t like being cold at all.
So I definitely would never ever marry in winter BUT
I love all those accessories to keep you crazy Winter-Brides-To-Be hot.
I love furry hats and long scarfs, boots and winter clothes.

And: Aren’t those white lace boots cute? via bitchin&junkfood

To be clear: I like looking at winter clothes, not wearing them.
There is nothing better like the naked and free feeling of just wearing a light
flowing dress ; )

nina dolcettis amazing shoefactory

Aren’t these shoes hot?
They are designed by Nina Dolcetti and handmade in a small family run factory in East London!
Aware of waste within the fashion industry and the environmentally unfriendly effects of leather tanning, Nina Dolcetti shoes are designed and constructed to reuse off-cuts and unwanted pre-consumer waste to create daring, architectural and design led pieces that are as avant garde as they are elegant.
Want want want want want…..

random bouquet

shoes found here via twitter thecoveted
Liv was thinking what her favorite flowers are.
But I couldn’t really find an answer.
so I decided to look up the meaning of different flowers and create a bouquet based on that.
Maybe it would look good to just randomly combine different flowers, more like
handpicked wild flowers…thats more my style of bouquet, rather than perfect matching bouquets.

So here we go:
Orange Blossom: Innocence, Eternal Love, Marriage and Fruitfulness
Orchid: Love, Beauty and Magnificence
Peony: Happy Marriage and Prosperity
Poppy (yellow) - Wealth; success
Acacia: Friendship
Rose, Pink: Perfect Happiness
Heather (white) - Protection; wishes will come true
Lemon Leaves: Everlasting Love
Mint - Protection from illness; warmth of feeling

In the meantime I will do some more research and find a few inspiring flower pictures to share soon!

the coolest shoe in the world

I reckon you have seen these already!?
It has been a while since MELISSA launched the ZAHA HADID shoe.
Liv was in love with them within seconds, but wasn’t able to find out
how to get them…
Zaha Hadid, British Iraqi deconstructivist architect and the first female recipient of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, is world renowned for her influential and groundbreaking designs. She has teamed up with Melissa to create one of the most iconic and collectible shoes of our time. This radical style has round forms, asymmetrical cuts, and an absolutely original avant-garde design. According to the architect, the inspiration came from fluid movements which accompany the lines of the body. Each pair is packaged inside a molded plastic case.

Simply put: these are some of the most iconic and unique womens shoes ever conceived.

Now I just got a Newsletter from my favorite little shop in my old neighbourhood in NYC and: they are selling them: here!
.
I WANT THEM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BAD!!! THIS IS A NUMBER
ONE OF MY WISHLIST: MY SHOESIZE EUR 38 US 7, by the way ; )

Oh Emma! How much I adore your photographs! You are definitely one of my favorite photographers…
Especially because she was one of the first photographers adopting the polaroid trend, working most of the time in old motels making self portraits.

And you know what? The whole thing started as a LOVE PROJECT
for her boyfriend, they had a LDR for years and very little time
together, so she started to shoot amazing self portraits on POLAROID to
send them to him.

She is also famous for her shoe photography.
This pair pictured would be the best DISCO DISCO BRIDAL CHOICE.

Find out how to support the impossible project to re-start production of analog instant film for vintage Polaroid cameras in 2010.

color of joy

White is known as the color of JOY!
The color white is good for the body energetically and for the nervous system.
It reflects all colors and symbolizes radiance and inner purity.
Haha, i particularly like the part about the nervous system- very interesting!
Dont you think?
Sounds like good reason for me to wear white on your wedding day.
But if you dont feel like it, don’t do it!
Its your day! If you don’t feel like wearing heels, you don’t have to!
If they give you ruled paper, write the other way.
All colors are beautiful! I love white for weddings,though!
The jelly Oxford worn with the Blushless dress is (again) by Melissa,
its name is JOY !!!

Lady Dragon Anglomania + Melissa

This lady is a punk! And thats why I love her.
Also for her anti attitude or voicing her views;
to get engaged in things, and not buy any crap,
that you’ll trash 6 months later.Fashion needs rebels,
needs people that have a point of view!
It was a huge compliment for me when my manager
called me an “enfant terrible” the other day, explaining
I remind her of the young Vivienne Westwood.
Fair enaugh!
The shoe above is vegan, made of rubber, that smells
like FRUIT (right: I am addicted to fruit!) by the way:
all Melissa shoes have that smell!
