Versace for H&M


Who still wears Versace?? Did anyone ever? Well...I knew a few guys back in high school but I won't speak of them now. Here is the entire collection on fashionista.com. I don't really have anything against Versace, just that it still looks like its stuck in the 90s with their gaudy prints and douche bag shirts. The H&M version just makes it more affordable for you to achieve the Eurotrash look. Donatella even added in pink oxfords for the guys. Perfect for Perez Hilton. You would think the pieces alone would work somehow, but NO. They don't. Some of her dresses look okay, but she IS Versace, so of course there's lots shimmer, bedazzling and their signature border. Will they ever change? Do we want it to? On one hand, its an establishment that is so familiar its comforting to know that some things don't change. On the other they're unwilling to stray from their gaudy prints and colors, making them predictable. Which no one wants to be.

Bold Shoes

Never one to shy away from a bold shoe, I had to share these Alexander Wang Metallic Loafer Pumps in PINK! Penny loafer heels were my favorite shoe to wear in the 90s. I wish I could have these for my wedding. But we are on a budget and I'm going to prove I can stick to it! I need to go dig up my old burgundy pair, cause I can't afford these. 
This next pair is also bold and creepy. They remind me of a Tales from the dark side episode that scarred me so deeply I never wore my favorite pair of red mary janes again. 


What was Prada thinking? It doesn't look as bad when its on the foot, then it just looks like flesh colored socks. But the flesh color just reminds me of a prosthetic. And the image of the severed dancing legs from that Darkside episode still haunts me...
