STEP AWAY



"ACNE gives you a major style booster that lasts, it's a classic loafer modernized and taken to the next level".I'm sorry did something go wrong mid sentence there? Or was the person writing such a thing either a) blind b) high c) blind and high, because their statement couldn't be further from the truth.

If you had have asked me anytime before laying eyes on these if the gods at ACNE could do any wrong - my immediate answer would have been "absolutely, positively no". I mean after all you've seen the Pistol boot and I'm sure, like many before you, you had to wipe the long line of drool from your mouth afterwards and I'm sure you've seen their simple, yet achingly beautiful clothing as well. ACNE normally get it right every single time, but this time they got it oh so wrong

Don't get me wrong, I am all for different, innovative, look-at-me-i'm-pushing-the-boundaries-of-fashiondesigns, but there's that and then there's insanity. And I'm sorry but these fall directly under the latter category. I like loafer heels, take the Alexander Wang Anais Loafer pumpsfor example.  The consistent height and the seamless design make for a gorgeous shoe.

So how did ACNE get it so wrong? They took the loafer heel too far, tried too hard to be clever and made a shoe that was far too obvious. So instead of being left in awe from their craftsmanship, I'm left saying "we get it, you can make one type of shoe look like another. *slow clap* *bike horn*

Happy Tuesday, Ally, Have an awesome day! xoxox

We cannot wish for what we know not.







I am more tired then when i went away! I didn't think that was possible, but somehow i am. I am glad to be home ( my holiday was very good though). Nothing beats your own bed after nights in an unfamiliar room. And nothing beats your own shower. So good. Back to reality.


My camera is currently M.I.A, not really, it's with my boyfriend today. He has custody of it. I thought i would post pictures of certain goods i would like to purchase. After work today, i thought I'd tease myself and look at my favourite online stores. Window shopping online is worse than actual window shopping because you always find unique accessories that people you know don't have or you find the shoes you have been drooling over for weeks and you just continue to drool. Drooling over my favourite shoes and accessories is what i do best at the moment. I wish i was a heiress to a multimillion dollar company just so i could fix my shopping addiction and buy everything i have ever dreamed of. I figure that would also fix my drooling habit too.
