I’ve been going au natural nails for the past week, and I must say, it feels liberating to be free of muck chemicals on the tips of my appendages. I could actually hear the nails breathing (asthmatic huffpuffs) and every day I would make them all stand straight so I can mark their height on the adjoining fleshwall with a sharpie. Oh my babies are growing so fast.

erm.

Waiting for 2 boxes of stuff I bought from a Korean online store – well let me say, by now I forgot what I bought.

Hope you all had a good weekend. I still have 5 more days of it now. MUSHAHSHAHAHSH.

The Prada S/S09 Collection footwear really caught my eye; from far away they look like ordinary shoes, but closeup, the models were actually wearing socks with sandals!

I’m sure if you’re Asian you would know what these socks are (overshoes?), but I don’t remember seeing them anywhere in Europe (maybe H&M? does anyone know?), but I’m sure they’re dead easy to make. Once I get to London I’ll try coming up with a tutorial. There’s this sassy Marie Antoinette feel about them, with the fabric, ruche and bow…

For now just a few examples:

Asos Terry De Havilland Wedges Korean NuryShop Overshoes

Asos Oasis Platform Sandals Korean Gmarket

The key is to have colourful shoes – but gold socks with plain black sandals may look good too…

Edit: Anna just let me know that these were the socks&shoes combination that got the models tumbling down the Prada runway, thanks, I had no clue!! It’s crazy though, a pair of heels could ruin a model’s career… Good thing that Katie Fogarty took those off in the end!

I still think the idea is noteworthy though, hopefully it’ll work better on heels that aren’t 345inches high…
