"Like Omg Shoes"

Winter Time=New Shoe Season

Fall 2010/Winter 2011 consist of 3 shoe types.

Tall Boots

Short Boots

& Booties

So basically, any type of boot, and you are set for the season.

To start: The shoe fashion trends seen for 2011 from Fendi, Erdem, Givenchy, Michael Kors, Burberry Prorsum, Emiio Pucci, Philip Llm, Christian Dior, Versace, Ivatore Ferragamo, Roberto Cavalli, and Gucci were displayed on the runway in the previous weeks, and gave us a perfect idea of what shoes we will want to be wearing more of this season. Here's my inside scoop :)

My own Collection consist of booties and boots from H&M, Forever 21, Nordstroms, Steve Madden, Target, & Passed down vintage findings, almost all under $40. So there is a cheap way to keep up with what's in the new at an affordable price.

Sketcherdoodles and My Headband Makings (:

In my research of spring 2011 (florals) and fall 2011 (high collars & thigh high boots) I got my inspiration for my sketcherdoodles, these being the results (:

I also finally got around to capturing the headbands I made and a few vintage bows I found from the 50's (grandmas treasures)

Fashion Raising Money For AIDS Research

Event: (Posted-November 30, 2010) Mondo Guerra a designer from project runway, being HIV positive, felt the need to do something special on national AIDS day. Mondo designed two shirts for women that were launched yesterday (December 1st & national AIDS day). The shirts sold will be put towards AIDS research. Every shirt sold, $20 will go to amFAR, a AIDS researching organization. "One shirt shows a tree with a single heart hanging from a branch and the other features a colorful skull in the Day of the Dead theme that dominated Guerra's final collection on the TV show.The Mexican tradition of Day of the Dead isn't about death at all, he says, it's about celebrating the memory of loved ones."

Response: I think that is a great way for project runway designer Guerra to get his name out, and an especially great thing he is doing to support AIDS. When you can create work that can support something so significant and needed, I believe you have accomplished something truly successful. Guerra has done a great job combining two things that are most important to him, and will be looked brightly upon for his helpful hands. I think that if every designer were to support a cause every once in a while, we could really do something great, why not?
