Haider Ackermann Shoes

While making a previous post of mine and searching on Barneys.com I fell in love with Haider Ackermann's shoes! I love the lace detail he puts on his boots, reminds me of something I drew up a while ago thanks to a Proenza Schouler influence. 

Upon further investigation I found out that this boot actually turns into a thigh high boot. You can unzip the lace part and it unfolds or does some magic trick and becomes a thigh high! Although I prefer these boots in a short style I wouldn't mind switching them up from time to time.

These are my favorite pair by him by far. Although I love heels quite a bit I can't help but go towards a nice combat boot type of shoe, and with this lace detail I really can't help but fall in love with these! Thats why they made it into my FW '11 'Shoe Picks' :)

C'mon, you gotta love that scrunched up leather. Im always, always trying to make my boots do that but then they start to get ruined and I have to wear them like they were made haha, finding boots already scrunched up has been something thats been really hard to find around here, and I don't know why!?

This might just be the tallest thigh high I've seen. Found this one on Barneys website, on sale. Even though still on sale its...still...to expensive. I have enough thigh highs to make me happy though so maybe thats why I didn't add these to the FW '11 Shoe Picks even though they are beautifully unique! My favorite parts the different straps, if memory serves me correctly I think I drew up a boot with multiple straps too!

Thanksgiving weekend in review.

What a great two-day break from school, I'm being serious here. Exams are quickly approaching and so is the moving date! So, naturally, I've been shopping non-stop for things. Especially clothes! I have no idea what shopping will be like in Columbia (it's a pretty small town) so I've been stocking up on anything worth buying here, purses and shoes have been the main items but I've also become balls deep in tops due to our downtown Goodwill Outlet where you can get a pound of clothes for 80 cents! I went there two days in a row last week and spent $14 so you do the math and thats how many shirts I bought, along with 3 or 4 purses and 2 pairs of leather heels (Italian! One of my favorites) what a steal!

Before my families Thanksgiving started, my mom and sister and I decided to go on a little hike. Perfect weather for it and to take pictures, haven't really done an outfit post in a while but I figured it was well past due that I make one. Some new purchases seen in pictures below are my studded t-shirt, long cardigan sweater, and red leather purse which by the way is a beautiful shade of red, I bought a similar bag but it had a blue undertone in the red and I've been looking everywhere for a red bag with orange undertone, but then, viola! Found it! Thanks goodwill :)
