Red Hot Shoes

The hottest shoes that celebs are sporting these days, whether casual flats or pumps, are red.  Are you brave enough to sport bright red shoes? I have never tried, but I would in a heart beat  if I had a killer pair. I selected these from hundreds of Fall'12 shoes from various high-end designers. I personal would want my shoe closet filled with these 20 pairs! Oh--and the color red...it has so many meanings. When I see a pair of red shoes I think of energy, intensity, and excitement! According to .....

 Bill Blass-- "When in doubt wear red." 

 Bill Blass--"Red is the ultimate cure for sadness."


Yes, yes, these shoes would definitely cure the fleating sadness in shoe-lovers around the world. Do you concur?

Doodling Effect on Alexander Wang's Spring RTW...

... on the Spring runway and in high art.  As previously posted, it was so amazing how German artist, Heike Weber,  turned his love for doodling into art that wows the mass.

We doodle when our attention is otherwise occupied. We doodle when we're daydreaming in the middle of  boring lecture or when we're on the phone for hours.  Most of the time they're just abstract shapes that don't mean much.  By taking something that doesn't require our attention to produce  and transforming it into that something that could occupy all our attention is genius.

The modern meaning of doodling emerged in the 1930s either from "to swindle or to make a fool of" or from the verb "to dawdle", which since the seventeenth century has had the meaning of wasting time or being lazy.

Perhaps we all have experienced  being lazy ; we wasted time daydreaming about things that couldn't be recalled a week later.  However, those were fleeting moments of happiness that got interrupted by  "our reality".  It shouldn't be surprising that Alexander Wang experienced doodle-happy-moments, too.


This Spring, Alexander Wang has shown some interest in  doodle prints.  Whether or not they were his actual doodling or his staff's, im not  so sure.  A few outfits are featured in his Spring RTW collection.

There is absolute contrast in wearing a color so pure yet it's doodled all over.  I think a splash of color adds some playfulness and a down to earth attitude. The construction like jacket adds structure and strength by contrasting the femininity, which the white gives off.  Mid-calf lengths are appropriate for the cooling effect as the temperature rises in the city.
