I Like My Style magazine: Picks of the season

Last Updated on January 30, 2013

My favorite feature from the 6th issue of I Like My Style magazine. The pieces were selected by Ilikemystyle's fashion director James Valeri and photographed by Benjamin Fredrickson. I doubt the photos are real polaroids (too expensive nowadays! too much hassle with high-quality scanning! etc.), but they ooze that dreamy polaroid charm nevertheless.

If you ask me to give favorite shoe brands, Pierre Hardy will be the second or third I'll list, though my admiration of their shoes is still limited to fawning over photos online and in magazines. A few years ago, I found a gorgeous pair of midnight blue velvet Pierre Hardy sandals on sale at a ridiculously low price in Modena, Italy. They were half a size too small.
I will never forget them; I must've printed their photo and stuck it in my school notebooks for inspiration at least 10 times.

Many women have told me they cannot get used to unusual heel shapes introduced this season.
I am sure the belief is only temporary. Heels need diversity too!

Expensive bags and shoes as plant pots?
I've always thought flowers were among the most underrated accessories. If I had fabulous movie star-length hair instead of a coiffure that lays completely flat, I would wear pink, orange and yellow roses ... Without torns.

Can you resist an umbrella construction hat?
Throw over a plastic overlay -- voila, you're safe and stylish in the rain.

  1. I'm sick of the outlandish heel shapes, not just this season, but in general. But then again I'm not really a shoe person, and I usually gravitate towards "classic" heels or what I dub Mummy/Oriental/Bondage styles. A therapist would probably have a field day with that. That umbrella/cage hat is fabulous, I've seen some archival Issey Miyake and Chanel ads with a similar style.

    • I'm not too interested in wearing very unusual heel shapes myself (I'm like you - "classic" heels all the way!), but I like to see changes in fashion. I like those instances when something initially perceived as ugly becomes quite acceptable and "normal". I think this will happen with heel shapes.
