1st alphabetically, 1st in my books: 3.1 Phillip Lim











This collection was inspired by kites, which is evident in the flow and geometry of the shapes
These sorbet hues are something different
Other designers have been quite bold with their hues and it's nice so see a slight deviation from the mean
I love the white blazer, that's got about 2% lime for that Summery bright white
And the trio of citrus yellow, acid apricot and bright lavender violet
It's toxic, yet subdued

Summer's on it's way!

Love,

Wear + Tear.

The Sky's The Limit





Happy Monday everyone!
so... got a spare grand in your pocket?
Like towering over everyone you meet?
Have impeccable balance and poise like Lady Gaga?
Then here's the shoe for you!
Simply named "116-105" by Finsk and available
from solestruck.com, this shoe is the shit!
It looks like an architectural structure from every angle
I don't think comfort is even an issue when purchasing a shoe such as this
Would you wear these spine-tingling towers?
I would ;)

Love,

Wear + Tear.

HAPPY FRIDAY: weekly inspiration

 I want to make a leather skirt like this,
or maybe one with pleats... I have so much leather left over
from my graduate collection, I just need to get off
my lazy ass and do something with it!
 Loving this look overall,
especially the colour and cut of the skirt
This would be super easy to make
Maybe when I'm in HK/china I should buy fabric :)
 I want to get some denim coloured crops for Summer
These might not be the perfect shade for me, but they're super slick




 Damn you people and your tiny feet!
These types of flatform converse are all over blogs and ebay
but alas, they do not come in my size (40, 41, 9 or 10)
I love that these ones have been studded too
 How cute was Kate Moss back in her prime? So adorable!
I wonder if she'll let her daughters start modelling soon...
 Marina Diamandis is such a cool rock chick. Love her style
 Popsicle hair
 Rupert Sanderson shoes

slightly cheaper versions can be found on topshop.com





Going to a friend's birthday dinner tonight
I imagine we'll end up with some photos like this one ;)

Love,

Wear + Tear.

CAPTION THIS:

Caption this if you dare!

Love,

Wear + Tear.

So bright, So beautiful!




The latest creations from Jeffrey Campbell are up on Solestruck.com (click new + refresh daily if you're an addict like me)
Aren't they just traffic-stopping, blinding, headache-inducingly awesome?!
I want the flatform creepers maybe in green!
Would you wear them?

Love,

Wear + Tear.
