The shoe quiz has come to an end and to my surprise there was not much guessing. I understand, I would be reluctant too as they could be anything. I mean the flower concept is very similar to these gorgeous, this season's, miu miu:
Only mine were bought four year ago, carried to the till in a supermarket trolley among parsley, lettuce and cherry tomatoes! As you will see, they are George Asda, a brand featured in the largest stores of the well-known British supermarket chain.I had gone to that 24hr Asda obeying my midnight cravings for a salad, and there they were on the shelf for £12. I swear that summer, everyone believed me when I joked they were Prada! (oops, u must have misheard guys, i swear i said A-s-d-a).
It was that same year I saw a supermarket brand -this one- being featured in a sponsored still life section of Vogue UK. Was quite shocked.
Anyway, if you like the style and want something similar and 'so now', you can check out these miu miu ballarina's on sale at net-a-porter. Were 310 euros and now sell for 232.50.
I guess this is the first post that clearly shows what this blog is all about, and that is style rather than fashion or brand names. I don't think there's a brand I wouldn't wear, provided I like what I see, can afford it and is in line with my ethics (I am so against real fur, sorry fur lovers!).
Small exception, I totally dissapprove of knock offs. I'd never go to the concert of Madonna's look-alike so why would I ever buy a fake Prada? As for my George Asda sandals, well, they were out years before miu miu 'planted' that flower.
At the moment I am obsessed with Marni's Mary-Jane rubber pumps. Net-a-porter too, sadly no sale (€260). Very close to buying them...
