Image from jakandjil.com"Candle Burning Heels" sounds like something outrageous but not with Nicholas Kirkwood’s imagination. He is showing off his new designs for Rodarte & making everything outrageous fashionable. He is known as somebody who is not afraid of experimenting with heels and platforms by making them jump out in the crowd whether is it a scary metal platform or flowery mix with pearls. Melted candle wax heels is a new exciting runway surprise which is a MUST HAVE for Spring Season.
Got to Have a Pair of Flat Boots
Only in the recent years I realized, how important it is to wear comfortable shoes. Most of the high heels and platforms can be damaging to your foot when you do not even know it. It is very hard to find a pair which fits best and you can wear it for a long period of time. Most of them, of course, cost at least a couple of hundred dollars but it is totally worth it. Lately, I have been looking for flat or low heel boots which can be worn during the day or at night. It must a sign that I am slowly moving towards more comfortable fashion. Life is definitely easier when you have a pair of flat boots in your closet since it will be perfect for any occasion, outing or even just a weekend errand run.
Now is the time to purchase a perfect pair of boots since a lot of them on sale and prices can be favorable for any budget. Most can be worn with skinny jeans or pants in addition to a skirt or dress if you are looking for more dressier look. Two of my top picks are below:
-
- KORS Michael Kors Frannie Zipper Boot from Zappos.com
-
- Casadei Black Leather Boots with Buckles from thecorner.com
If you are looking for a variety to choose from, you can refer to ShopStyle.com. This website will provide you with every possible flat bootie out there and certainly a great discount which comes along with it.
How about Ants & Veins?
In the past seasons I have noticed that tights have been top accessory in the runways. Some of the designers have taken some risks but have passed for popularity and editor’s choice. The crazier the prints, the more attention they have earned. I think some of the outrageous ones are with ants & veins prints which have been identified for the brand of Les Queues De Sardines. By also adding color to your legs, these have become a substitute for scarves and hats. You think you can find tights with prints of tears, alphabet letters, clouds or rain drops? Now you can on Les Queues De Sardines. This is totally cool for the new spring season. Again, new year, new - me, we are being influenced by the bright colors and funky prints.

Handmade Jewelry Boston
KatyaUK handmade beaded jewelry comes into the world as an expression of inner mind of two jewelry designers who are located in the Boston area. Its represents the personality, uniqueness & creativity incorporated into each piece. We have decided to name each jewelry item with the Flower Name which describes its fashion as a description of a flower. Working with different materials helps to make each piece individually different from the other and carries its unique name, design & style. Each item is one of a kind, there is no other one made with exact same materials, quality and design. Products are never identical, they are one of a kind.
None of the items are mass produced and all of them are handcrafted. Each bead, stone, crystal is individually linked, decorated and put together into jewelry piece. We use leather strand or metallic wire to connect the stones, beads and other precious materials. It provides strength and durability to all products which guarantees extended wear during normal usage.

Alexander McQueen Titanic Ballerina Pumps
Shoes should represent your personal style and certainly your current mood. If you are in the mood for flip flops, it means you are in the lazy lay around mood, stilettos - ready for party, sneakers - must be running errands. Recently most of the high heels have been transformed into over the top platforms which are at least a couple of inches thick.
One of the famous platforms on my radar are Alexander McQueen Titanic Ballerina Pumps. I consider only "risky business" character throw these on. Bronze metal heels, ballerina satin front and over the top platform have made this pair to be top wanted in the new season. What a combination of different styles, will you ever think of wearing metal with the gentle light pink in the mix of elegant slipper?
For the ones who cannot afford pricey tag of $1985.00, you can refer to Lovely People website which sells similar pumps but for cheaper price.

Club Monaco ‘Jen’ Beaded Clutch
Could not miss this item, I know I have been leaning more and more towards accessories lately but this is the way to go when you are not shopping much for clothing. Wear same black dress, change the bags and you will look different each time.
Club Monaco has been surprising me lately with their diversified collections and definitely can land on my MUST HAVE list for the season. Its clutches are fun, glittery, look like new fresh accessory and would be easy to wear with any outfit. They range from $80 and $200. It folds as an envelope and easy to fit in one hand. Even Oprah has mentioned this piece in her "Shopping Guide for the Basic Black Fashion Show". Since online store does not give you much of a choice but to shop the actual store in the mall, you should just try to get there fast so you can choose from variety of colors, light creme, black and blue.

When I saw these ROARKE NYC accessories, the first thing that came to my mind is how long did it take to make them. Each bead is individually hand crafted into material and actually all of them are closely placed not leaving any empty space. If you look at the material it looks like silk or chiffon in earthy colors which is easy to wear and bend to your wanted shape. ROARKE NYC is truly handmade treasure which stands out from the rest of the accessories of the same kind. You can use them as headpieces, bracelets or necklaces with ability to match them to any piece of clothing like jackets, dresses & even T-shirts. I also fell in love with their website as well, please visit it and let me know what you think.

Color in Style with Susan Farber
As I mentioned in my previous article, I want to be pro-color this year which means I will be looking for something that can promote unique, bright, new colors of each season whether is it within a piece of clothing or accessory. One of my recent finds is Susan Farber Collection of colorful handbags. One of my pet peeves is to splurge on the color when you are wearing some of the pale, nude or classic blacks tones. Having a handbag under your arm in purple, pink or yellow can be the way to draw attention to yourself but make sure you are not overdoing it with crazy jewelry in this case. What do we need to make our lives easier to shop? We need to know how to shop for bargains online. I believe Susan Farber Collection is my season's bargain since her handbags have been marked down upto 50% OFF. Happy Shopping!

For the Love of UGGS
Uggs - we love them and at the same time, we hate them. They keep us warm and comfy but not always allowing us to wear a dressy pair of pants or skirt, so what? Where do they come from and how did they become everybody's necessity to have during any season? Pilots have worn them during World War I and were calling them "fug boots" (flying uggs). Then they were reintroduced by Australian surfers in the 60s who wore them to get warm. And even back then, they were interpreted as an ugly boot which started its name of uggies or uggs. Uggs have stayed in Australia for many years and have been developing their reputation locally until 1990s when US footwear company Deckers Outdoor Corporation saw their potential for an American market.
Despite their considerably high prices, Uggs became US sheepskin boot must-have. You can find them in many different colors and lengths. What about the animal print or rain boots? Anything is possible with Uggs. They even have helped to create a collection of celebrity inspired boots which have raised $35,447 in 2007 in the name of the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (KatyaUK is a Partner in Hope for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital). I have created their small gallery so you can see these unique signature boots which differed in colors, designs & texture in honor of the Research Hospital.
-
- Cindy Crawford for Uggs
-
- Jessica Simpson for Uggs
-
- Liv Tyler for Uggs
Uggs can be worn during cold and even warm weather, remember Pamela Anderson in the Baywatch episode? Bathing suit and Uggs is the outfit for the beach days. Jeans and Uggs is the outfit for a weekend hang out. They have a comfortable fit and warmth which no other boot has.
If you own Uggs, share their identity on KatyaUK!
