For the Love of Shoes: Rainbow Bright

Over the past year it seems disco and funk is slowly seeping into my day to day. My favorite set at a festival last year was by Glasgow DJ Denis Sulta whose House music comes with echos of the 70s and funk. I’m listening to more old funk tunes than I ever have in my life while also finding the artists of today who are infusing disco and funk with house beats.…

Spring But Dark

Last June I was wandering through Spitalfields in London checking out the various vintage & upcycled clothing shops when I descended down a few steps into The Vintage Market on Brick Lane. What I came upon was a vast underground market of individual booths full of so many different kinds of vintage clothing.…

Floral + Embroidered Booties

I generally don’t like floral anything on any of my clothing. Growing up we had a couch with an awful 90s floral pattern. It was horrendous. And anytime I would go shopping with my mom & she would pull out a floral top for me to try, I stuck my nose up and said gave her a firm “no”. But my views have shifted a bit with the latest velvet and floral embroidered boot trend. I love funky shoes and these are all my style. These are some of my favorites from across the web.   1.

For the Love of Shoes: White Platform Sandals

It’s the funky nature of the white platform that I love. It stands out, especially if the rest of the shoe is a bright color. I’m obsessed with this trend this year. Seattle has been unusually hot this year and my ankle boots are sometimes way too much (it’s that warm). The brand I’ve been loving has been Bucco, which is over on Hautelook quite a bit, but since it’s a flash sale site, I usually miss my size. I just discovered these over on Zooshop, which I literally discovered tonight, and again, these just fuel my love for these sky high platforms even more. They’re a statement piece and can really make a jean & t-shirt combo instantly fab. 1. Savin / 2. Enya / 3. Beck / 4. Therapy / 5. Lab Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Looking forward to floating at the lake tomorrow in this heat. xoxo, Steph Follow Me On: BLOGLOVIN’ | TWITTER | INSTAGRAM…

For the Love of Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell

Spring is finally here. Almost. I mean it is, but if I’m not able to wear sandals in the morning without my toes falling off from the cold then we’re not quite there yet. But next week will be in the mid seventies which means I get break out my favorite Matiko platform sandals. Damn right that calls for a dancing Dumbledore gif. But oh hey, speaking of platform sandals. Jeffrey Campbell. Always brilliantly out there with wild styles and sky high platforms & the latest shoes available at Solestruck are no less bold and wonderful. These platforms look wonderfully retro & I want to buy them all, put on a pair of dark skinny jeans and role the cuffs up. I love them. I’m so ready for spring, scratch that, I’m ready for SUMMER, and sandals. And I want some Jeffrey Campbell platforms to add to my closet. Follow Me On: BLOGLOVIN’ | TWITTER | INSTAGRAM…
