a trend i wish would die forever.

Okay, maybe people see these as a joke. But I have seen quite a few people wearing them legitimately out in public when they are not intending [or so I believe...] to go dance on a pole and remove their clothes.

Clear heels. Why. I just do not understand. At all.

Unfortunately, the trend has shown up again on runways for Spring 2010, which I neglected to notice until seeing a post on the Cut. Apparently, Milan designers that I have come to respect, such as Prada or DSquared2, think this is a good idea.

Well, Miuccia, Dean, and Dan, you are sorely mistaken. Please do not ever create shoes that incorporate plastic. It's unbecoming and ugly.

I literally cannot help but scrunch up my face disapprovingly if I see anyone wearing these or see them in a store somewhere. I'm sorry for my strong opinions, but I support the furthering of fashion, not disgusting footwear.

And it isn't really the actual heel part of the shoe that bothers me. I mean I don't like it, but it doesn't make my skin crawl. It's the top of the shoe where real straps are supposed to be, but instead clear panels lie. Not okay.

And that concludes my rant for this evening.

green with envy.

It is very nearly fall. I bought my newest fall sweater piece, a steal from Stella McCartney, and it's taunting me hanging in my closet...begging me to put it on. But as soon as the weather plummets, it is doomed to be freezing until May.

On a brighter note, there are fantastic things about fall and all the trends that come with it.

One of my favorites started with a very tiny detail. Green finger nails [intentional, of course].

Last season, Chanel/Karl sent a rich, jade color down his runway with gorgeous embellishments of green on belts, rings, and buckles. But the thing everyone noticed most was the nail polish color.

For Fashion's Night Out, Chanel finally launched the shade in their SoHo store. For the rest of us, it comes out in October.

So it brings me to my point. Maybe Chanel began this accessories trend, but it is catching on...and frankly, I'm thrilled.
