gem string party: make a statement.

there's an unequivocal trend in the fashion world right now - it's all about making a statement with your shoes and necklaces; not quite literally, but some shoes really say something to me. like these three pairs from Wittner:

Very Lady

the shoe befits this name. the green 'gems' and panel have a Grecian touch to it that comes off quite ladylike.
i absolutely love this pair! love how there's a lace up effect going on here.

Vermouth

the colour won't explain why it's called Vermouth - an aromatised white wine in which herbs, roots, barks, bitters and other flavourings are steeped - but rather, it's those 'gems' that embody the various elements of the Vermouth that probably explains the name better.
i love the colour and that 'bridge' connecting the heel and the sole.

Vatino

the name for this one doesn't really make sense to me. but it doesn't really matter, does it?
i love the faux snake skin to the 'gems' and even to the strings.

Sultry

i've been dying to own this pair but when i finally tried it on yesterday (because they finally went on sale!), it just didn't fit. my feet's too slender in the front that when i walked in this, they just kept sliding out. :(

so, to cheer myself up, i decided to settle for this one:

Sportsgirl Rose Gladiator

perfect for the hot hot heat in Melbourne!

  1. Nice choice in the sandal department - I imagine these with deconstructed denim or a Garcons-esque asymmetric concoction! I have been regretting not trying Aldo's version of the wedge, so thank you for convincing me that they wouldn't have suited my skinny feet. Loving your style :-)

  2. that sounds like a great match for the sandals! if winter were still here, they'd be great to wear with knee high socks too.

    glad i helped in convincing you these wedges wouldn't fit our skinny feet. ;) thanks for the comment!
