FASHION SNAG

Shoe Talk Episode 3

 

This is a new segment featuring some shoes from my closet.  It is the third episode and you may have seen the shoes before or they could possibly be a new 'never before seen' pair of shoes.  You can see the pilot episode of Shoe Talk in which I feature Alaia, Gucci, and Charlotte Olympia here.  The second episode featured Giuseppe Zanotti, Miu Miu, and Fendi and you can find it here. 

I am calling this segment "Shoe Talk" and in it you will find sizing tips, guidelines, and my own personal ramblings.  You will get a glimpse into my shoe closet without actually seeing it.  Three pairs of shoes are featured in each episode and they are taken out of the box on the video to get the full experience of shopping without actually spending any money. In this video I feature Jil Sander, Jimmy Choo, and Burberry.  Think of this as more of a behind the scenes video to answer some of your questions and the many questions I get about my closet.  You can subscribe to my YouTube channel to see all my videos.

Rebecca from Lingerie Please sent me this Henry Holland lace bodysuit.  It was one of my favorite picks from the Lingerie Please website.  It is extremely well-made and durable.  I had to get myself into it through the head/neck hole area and I was careful to take it slow so I didn't snag the bodysuit.  Once it was on the bodysuit was not itchy or scratchy as some lace items can be and it was really quite comfortable.  I really didn't know how to style it until I had it on and I could really see what it looked like on me.  Whenever I am styling lace I get into some Madonna vibe and I simply cannot help it.  I am a material girl so I styled it a little Cyndi Lauper, a little Madonna, etc.  You should see how tiny this lace bodysuit looks when it isn't stretched out on the body.  It really shows that Henry Holland uses strong, quality lace for hosiery.

All items the Henry Holland lace body is styled with are items I have worn before and photographed for Fashion Snag, including the wrap crepe skirt by Ann Demeulemeester.  This skirt was a snag off of Gilt and it is beautiful and soft in person, but oh so short on me.  I like to wear lace bike shorts underneath it when I wear it alone.  I thought the white silk crepe was a perfect contrast to the black lace.  For my top I wore a Free People tube top that has come in quite handy as outerwear and as a bra.  It actually stays in place quite well unlike other tube tops I have worn.  The Chanel necklace seemed like a nice piece to complement the neck line of the lace bodysuit.  The Burberry boots were the right shoes to toughen up the girly, lace look.  I realized I could really use a white crepe dress to style with the Henry Holland bodysuit for next time.

Burberry Boots

Wildfox Couture Tiger Tiger Crop Top in Dirty White - Similar top by Wildfox worn here with Kova & T latex leggings

Free People Pieced Colorblock Mini in Black - Snagged off FreePeople.com for $29.95 (Retail: $58)

I've been having more fun with fashion now than I ever have before.  This outfit was a really spontaneous pick on my part.  This Free People pieced lace skirt had been hanging in my closet for probably a year and I knew I liked it because it was jersey and easy to slip on, but I hadn't found the right top to match it.  I wanted to do something different besides a basic white crop top.  I saw this Wildfox Couture cropped tiger top lying on my bed next to the skirt and I thought they were the perfect pair.  I have worn this top before with a high waisted black jersey mini skirt, but never posted photos of it on the blog.  I know for a while that pieced colorblock skirts like this Free People one were pretty trendy.  I still like the style and since I got it for under $30 I can't complain.

Wildfox Couture makes some of the cutest tees around.  I swear I own at least two more of their tops with kitties on them.  I am a sucker for a kitty.  This one I snagged off Linsday Lou over a year ago and it is a dirty white, almost pink color.  I really like that it looks vintage and worn in with the frayed hem.  I find myself constantly buying cropped tops, maybe it has something to do with being born in the 80s.  These Burberry lace-up boots were a great snag off of Gilt Groupe.  They had one left in my size.  I have come to the realization recently that I am addicted to lace-up boots of all kinds.  It doesn't matter if they cut off my legs.  I love them too much to stop.  The thing I really like about this particular pair is the Burberry signature written into the leather.  Also, this is another pair of boots where you just have to slip them on and zip them up.  The laces are just for show.
