New Shoes – The Latest From Mr. W & Me

Mr W and Me 2014 latest shoe range and winter boots

If you follow me on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook you will have seen that my latest delivery arrived last week from my fave online boutique shoe store – Mr. W & Me. Not only did my new winter boots arrive, but on popping back to the site (as I regularly do) I discovered that Mr. W & Me has loaded their new line of Italian loafers.

As far as I’m concerned, no one does Italian leather loafers like Mr. W & Me. It was actually through finding my gold loafers (Sweet Revenge) quite some time ago, that my infatuation for Mr. W & Me began. Click the ‘jump’ to read my original post on this fab online shoe store & my gold-shoe find: Gurlinterrupted/TheMysteriousMrWandMe

I’ve had many amazing shoes from Mr. W & Me since my first find, and my latest delivery of winter boots is no exception. So I figured since I promised to show you what I chose from their winter boot selection, why not feature their latest drop of Italian leather loafers while I’m at it. Ok, truth be told, I may have also given in to the temptation of a new pair of loafers while I was perusing the range, so I’ll let you know which ones “I just had to have”….

MIDNIGHT FLIGHT $149.00
Black suede boots with contrast white heel

ULTERIOR MOTIVE $159.99
Monotone leather and pattern detailing with metallic zips

The Latest Range of Italian Leather Loafers:

My favourite pick (although I can tell you it wasn’t an easy decision) has to be this fab grey patent leather pair…

BON VOYAGE GREY

PERFECT ALIBI (BLACK & WHITE)

PERFECT ALIBI (SILVER)

LIGHTS OUT (BLACK)

Well Aren’t These Just #thesh*t

Because who wouldn’t want embroidered poop emblazoned across their beautiful Italian loafers?!

Fashion industry favourite – Edie Parker, has teamed up with legendary shoemaker – Del Toro, to design exclusively for online boutique Moda Operandi, the emoji loafer & purse collection, aptly named “M’oticons”.

I’ve been pondering the M’oticons range since their launch and quite honestly, my brain still doesn’t quite know how to process any of it! Don’t get me wrong, I love communicating in emoji as much as the next person, online! And it does combine two of my favourite things, symbols and hashtags, again, online! (and not in overkill) But on my shoes? Well, I’m just not sure I’m feelin it.

OK, let’s start with the poop shoe, or more accurately #theshit – yes, they named this slick slipper #theshit. Now, enter the price tag, circa US$340. So, just to clarify… two fashion industry faves have collaborated to create a line of fabulous Italian loafers, of which they’ve embroidered with various emojis, one of which is called #theshit. It doesn’t end there – you can also treat yourself to #Dabomb loafer (with a bomb and fire on each shoe), #QueenBee (featuring the queen and bee emojis), #DancingQueen, #HighMaintenance (hmmm maybe I should consider that pair) and several other partnered emoticons. But wait, there’s more, you can also bag yourself (pun intended) a matching clutch for a cool $1,595. Yeah, I think I’ll probably just stick to the emojis on my iPhone and let this fad pass me by. I mean sure, maybe if they were under $50 so that I didn’t feel bad when I binned them, once they reached their expiry date.

As much as I’m clearly not the biggest fan of the overpriced M’oticon shoe range, they’re certainly still worth a mention, if not just for the pure amusement of it all.

Check out some of the emoji pairings on offer and make up your own mind on the M’oticon range…

So, what do you think? Keen to step out in the emoji-loafer? Or have they gone a step too far?

TREND ALERT: Move Over Ballet Flat – The D’Orsay Is Here!

Definition: A d’Orsay style flat is a woman’s shoe in which the vamp of the shoe is cut away very close to the toe cup, and the sides are cut away, revealing the arch of the foot. The d’Orsay is often referred to as the two-piece flat, but I like to call it “the bikini of the shoe world”. With just a toe and heel cup, it feels like something between a sandal and a flat.

Not since Isabel Marant’s “Dicker” boot has a shoe taken the world by storm like Jenni Kayne’s D’Orsay. Arguably the sexiest non-heel to date, the pointy-toed flat flashes more skin than your average loafer and shows more sophistication than a ballet slipper. Luckily for us, other brands were quick to create their own version of Kayne’s D’Orsay flat (hurrah!) which means an abundance of d’Orsay styles and colours, that are totally affordable!

Here’s a few of my favourite bargain-buy and splurge-worthy d’Orsay flats…

ASOS Two Part Multi Print Flat Shoes NZD$36.14

Number One Shoes Iris print Flat $29.99

Number One Shoes Black Iris flat $29.99

Overland Isabella Anselmi Demi NZD $159.90

My absolute faves (and a fab copy of the Isabel Marant shoe) from www.heels.com Chinese Laundry ‘Easy Does It’ Rose Gold d’Orsay $59.99

Glassons Pointed Toe Flats in Camo $34.99

The Iconic Quebec Flat $39.95

Zara pointed flats $89.00

TIP: Some d’Orsay flats have a small piece of elastic across the inside back of the heel (for example the Glassons flats) and unfortunately this can rub and be a little painful. I’ve cut the elastic out of mine and put some ‘gel heel grips’ in place of the elastics and now they’re super comfy!

The Warehouse Autumn Season Preview…

Held at the beautiful historic Highwic House in Newmarket, media got their first glimpse of the Autumn essentials collection from The Warehouse. Rest assured there’s plenty of standout pieces that will see you prepared when the cooler temperatures set in…

With ‘onesies’ remaining an Autumn/Winter staple, The Warehouse (dubbed 2014’s ‘home of the onesie’) is definitely going to be your one-stop-shop with their HUGE selection of onesies for the entire family. Everything from Tim’s (of Big Brother) infamous skeleton onesie, animal all-in-ones, and a vast collection of varsity themed pieces, believe me – The Warehouse has them all!

As predicted in my 2014 Fashion Forecast post, tartan is set to be a massive key trend, and again, The Warehouse is bang on track with some fantastic plaid pieces (oohhh that tartan pencil skirt!).

A few other key trends making their presence known in the new autumn collection – college chic, blooms-a-plenty with an array of floral tops, satin-esque bomber jackets, print & patterned pants, hot footwear for both guys and girls, plus bright pops of colour (for when the winter blues set in) with the ever-fabulous Rose & Thorne lingerie.

Check out some of my highlights from a morning spent at Highwic House (an amazing setting that made me feel like I’d entered the wonderful world of Downton Abbey), along with some of my hottest picks from the upcoming Autumn collection…

For A Girl That Lives In Heels, Walking On Clouds Sure Will Be A Welcome Change…

I’m a self-confessed shoe-a-holic (I guess owning 300+ pairs of shoes qualifies) so being invited to a media event that involves shoes is always going to grab my attention! So with much excitement, last Friday I headed to Skechers HQ to celebrate the launch of their new “Skechers Memory Foam’ footwear collection, and to find out a little more about Skechers and the different footwear ranges they produce. I’m a little embarrassed to say that before Friday, I really didn’t realise just how big Skechers are – I mean they’re actually one of THE biggest selling lifestyle & performance footwear brands (yes, I took notes when I was at HQ – nerd huh?!) in fact sales-wise, they’re pretty much on par with a brand that features a certain ‘tick’ symbol.

Now admittedly I’m normally a heels kinda girl [see: lives in heels and could run a marathon in them] however I am partial to the odd pair of swanky kicks, and with the new health & fitness regime that I’ve recently embarked on (Jillian Michaels you are killing me right now!) some really great sneakers comes in pretty darn handy these days, oh and sneakers featuring Memory Foam insoles that make you feel like you’re walking on little clouds of marshmallow – well that’s even better!

The Skechers Memory Foam insole liner

What an amazing morning at Skechers HQ! Not only did we hear all about the latest and greatest in Skechers footwear, we were actually lucky enough to be fitted with our very own pair of Skechers Memory Foam sneakers so that we could experience first-hand Skechers new technology in lifestyle and performance footwear (I chose a pair of the “Flex Appeal” in black, as not only will they make for a great pair of workout shoes, they’re also going to be a killer addition to a sports-luxe outfit). The best way I can describe these Skecher Memory Foam’s is “it’s like walking on clouds made of marshmallow”, alternatively, imagine walking around with pillows strapped to the soles of your feet. They are super-duper soft and comfy, yet give you an amazing supportive bedding that molds to the shape of your foot when worn and bounces back immediately after removing your feet from the shoes. They’re going to be perfect when I’m doing cardio workouts as they are designed to alleviate pressure and reduce impact via the cushioning. Now if I could just find a way to line all my high-heels with these Memory Foam insole liners…..hmmmm I wonder…… Sorry, I digress!!

If you want to know more about these new Skechers Memory Foam insoles, or perhaps you just want to see their entire footwear range (the mens range is really good by the way! I’m thinking my guy would love the “Wellington” in charcoal) then head to www.skechers.co.nz

To see more of what we got up to at Skechers HQ, and where we went for a little ‘foot pampering’, check out some of my snaps from the day…

The perfect spread – yummy goodies from RIPE catering and surrounded by shoes!! With the team at Skechers HQ.

I’m taking ‘shoe consumer’ to a whole new level….

Pretty sure there’s a nursery rhyme about this…

Hi-Top Skechers for kids – too cute!

The Skechers kids range is just soooo damn cute!

Time for our ‘Reflexology’ appointment at Bliss. Even the seat is lined with Skechers Memory Foam!

High Heels & Sharp Knives! Karlie Kloss stars in Tamara Mellon’s new two minute fashion film. Watch it here…

Former co-founder and creative director at Jimmy Choo – Tamara Mellon, has released her very first collection for her new shoe label (named, wait for it – Tamara Mellon), and to celebrate she signed it-girl Karlie Kloss to star in a short, somewhat dark, fashion film entitled “High Heels and Sharp Knives.”

Drawing inspiration from Guy Bourdin’s photography (this is very evident in the clip) Kloss dons some of Mellon’s sexiest offerings, paired with black stockings and blood-red nails. Kloss also wears Mellon’s “Sweet Revenge” leather legging boots (basically pants with boots attached) of which go for $1,995 and are sold out in almost every size on Net-A-Porter.

Watch Kloss wind up covered in blood, wielding a knife, donning high heels, all in the name of love. But is it all as dark as it first appears?

I’m Head Over Heels In Love – all thanks to the zodiac & Charlotte Olympia….

Forget ‘birthday suits’ – it’s all about the ‘birthday shoe’! I’m head over heels in love with Charlotte Olympia’s “Cosmic Collection”…

Charlotte Olympia has launched her cosmic collection of exquisite flats and box clutches designed to celebrate the twelve Zodiac signs. But it’s the shoes that I’m most captivated by. Each pair of gold trimmed suede flats features a hand-painted enamel symbol, embellished with Swarovski crystals, and an eye-catching horoscope embroidery appears on the side of each pair, making them all the more unique! Each shoe comes with a Charlotte Olympia horoscope book, so there’s no guessing as to what your accessories say about you.

My shoe-horoscope, as a Leo girl, states “Hard to tame her appetite for shoes, her footwear brings out her wild side”. Probably the most accurate horoscope I’ve ever read!!

Has Charlotte represented your sign accurately?

Love and Happy Feet

Jimmy Choo Didn’t Design A Single Shoe Says Tamara Mellon In This Candid Video Interview…

Tamara Mellon is currently the talk of the town with her recently published book entitled IN MY SHOES (all this talks gotta be good for book sales right!?)

Ms Mellon shares her larger than life story in her memoirs – In My Shoes, and has told how her business partner, Jimmy Choo did not design a single shoe for the multi-million dollar empire named after him.

Ms Mellon, who worked at British Vogue for five years after dropping out of school, said: ‘The original idea was for Jimmy to design the collection and I would run the operations of the business”. The 46-year-old also revealed she never received a single sketch from him during the years they worked together – not one! She went on to say “it soon became very clear that Jimmy’s skill was in making shoes. He’s a cobbler.”

Being the shoe-a-holic that I am, although saddened to hear that Jimmy Choo didn’t design a single shoe, I am very much looking forward to reading Tamara’s book – In My Shoes, as the 46-year-old as led a very colourful and interesting life herself, Jimmy Choo shoes aside!

Fair to say that I am looking at my (one and only) pair of Jimmy Choo’s in a whole new light!

Check out Tamara Mellon’s candid interview, courtesy of the TODAY show…
