Brocade

I was on a mission this winter. And the mission was to own the most comfortable, warm and pretty shoes that last me all winter and I was not going to give up or give in! This mission of course started with these eye catching Sam Edelman booties.

The process of buying these shoes went so:

week 1: “Omg I love these! But do I really need them”

Week 2: “Let me add them to my Shopping bag”

Week 3: “Crap they are sold out! I wish I bought them. Let me get on Pinterest and see how good they look on all these Street Stylers.”

Week 4: “Man I’ll never find the shoes I love ever again”

Week 5: “They are back in stock! Thank you that one person who returned them (I doubt your taste, but thanks!)” In my shopping back and Checked out.

SO for the rest of you, I am going to compile a sweet list of brocade shoes that currently exist in my shopping bag and I could not buy because I’ve already clicked checkout on  my one beloved pair.

Alexander McQueen Resort 2017

“Both Sixties silhouettes and the romance of rural England, with its miles of wildflowers and brightly painted gypsy caravans, played a big role in Sarah Burton’r richly rendered collection.”

Samanta Conti for WWD

The mixtures of carnations, yellow roses, peonies, and poppies, each petal expertly defined with an artist’s paintbrush, were inspired, she said, by British folk art and domestic interiors: “Wallpaper, patterns you see on canal barges.”

 Sara Mower for Vogue.com

Hand-painted peonies, poppies and petals on leather, ruffles, expertly knitted dresses, tweedy jackets and intricate, embroidered gowns with sheer underlays are just some hallmarks of Burton’s Resort 2017 collection for Alexander McQueen.
