Summer No. 11

Summer No. 11 by natparty

I had the urge to fill a square with a ton of bright, summery stuff in fanciful colours. So I did it! I accomplished so much today (sarcasmsarcasmsarcasm).

Jeffrey Campbell Love

I'm crazy about Jeffrey Campbell shoes. Anyone who tries to tell me that Jeffrey Campbell is not breaking boundaries in shoe science had better get ready to fight me (it wouldn't take one long to get ready for that, I'm tiny and my muscles are mostly made out of something similar to pudding). Anyway, I have a LOT of ground to cover in this department, so I'm gonna keep my comments, which are pretty much useless anyway so I doubt they'll be missed, to a minimum. Allons-y!

UHM. CAN I HAZ? These shoes might actually bring me up to an average height. I could see eye-to-eye with people at last! And the best part is that there's enough incline to look elegant, but not so to cause ankle-breakage. Everyone wins!

Now time for more giant wedge sandals with gentle inclines.

GIMME GIMME GIMME I NEED I NEED (five awesomecool points to whoever recognizes that reference).

Now for the ankle breakers! EXCITING.

INTENSE. Let's take a breather now and look at some florals.

Wasn't that nice? Now prepare yourself, because we're going to take a look at some shoes that are downright ARCHITECTURAL. LOOK BIG WORDS AH.

WHOA THOSE WERE CRAZY. Now let's calm down with some relatively "normal" shoes.

This is probably the part where I'm supposed to wax poetic about things like "design" and "inspiration" and "silhouettes," but frankly, after constructing this post (which took a lot longer than it may seem) I'm sick of looking at shoes... HAHA just kidding but really, I don't want to spend any more time on this post, so SAYONARA.

Need Supply Co. Love

Some day I'll post do photos of outfits or whatever, but until I stop being so lazy (HAHA NEVER) you get more posts about my internet finds. This time, NO ETSY (trying to cut back, you understand), but I am going to show you some AWESOME stuff from Need Supply Co.

First I want to draw your attention to the awesomeness levels of this shoe (not by Jeffrey Campbell, btdubs). Imagine how many different outfits these would look incredible with, are you imagining them? Are you? Okay good. Now I'm going to show you some stuff from Need Supply Co. that would look outstanding with these woven wedge wonders.

That dress over those pants, with those wedges. Delectable, non? Yes. But it gets better.

Don't try to pretend like these glasses wouldn't just MAKE that outfit. Don't. even. try. Now some random stuff, cause it's my blog AND I DO WHAT I WANT.

AH AWESOME BRACELET IS AWESOME.

Now I know what you're thinking (cause I'm in your brain, nomming on your thoughts). "Nat, you could never pull off these pants, are you crazy?" Well, first of all, yes I am crazy, and second of all, DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO. I would make these pants work harder than a migrant worker during the Great Depression. 

Why are all my analogies so terrible?

If you try to tell me that this dress isn't hella rad amazing awesomesauce crazy awesome, I will physically fight you. I mean, LOOK AT IT. This dress goes to eleven. Also, go back to the first image, you know, the one with the rad shoes? I hope you're mentally pairing those shoes with this dress, because if you're not, you are seriously missing out. Seriously, srsly.

SHORT POST BECAUSE LONGER POST LATER AH INCOMPLETE SENTENCES AH.

Best of the 80s, does not include Madonna

Originally this was going to be a post about this rad outfit that I threw together for a jungle themed party that I went to this weekend, but I was too lazy to take photos of my actual clothes (seriously, way too much work, how do real fashion bloggers do it?). SO instead you get another post about my awesome Etsy finds, this time, 80s themed, because who doesn't like that? Crazy people. Crazy people don't like 80s vintage. Let's get started.

Hi, hello, is this not the most amazing dress ever? This dress makes all currently trendy dresses look more lame than a horse with a broken leg (I'm gonna go ahead and apologize for that right now, terrible analogy, please forgive me, it's been a long week). Anyway, the point is that this dress is so hot it's untouchable.

Don't tell the hipsters, but look what I found. Do want. I would wear these without even the tiniest hint of irony.

Little nostalgic moment about to happen here. My mom has a Dooney and Burke purse that she bought in the... I wanna say 90s, but I'm probably wrong. Before her current purse though, she had another Dooney and Burke purse that I'm positive must have been from the same collection as this one, because the white leather with the brown trim and that adorable duck logo is bringing up some serious childhood flashbacks. Good times.

I'm crazy about big, gold earrings, and these are just making me salivate all over my pajamas. Yes. I'm in bed, blogging in my pajamas. Lay off.

Snap decision: never buying another swimsuit until I can fit into/afford this one. Why would I settle for anything less? For some reason that phrase makes me think of a commercial for a fiber-heavy breakfast cereal targeted towards women. Ew.

Now a huge fan of long skirts, but I think this could be the one to change my mind. I can has? Please? Pwitty prease?

WHY DON'T I WEAR A SIZE SIX. ARGH.

I think this necklace speaks for itself. Also I don't know what to say about it other than it's awesoooome.

This shirt would probably make me look like a fluffy little mint green cupcake, but that doesn't stop me from wanting the crap out of it. Srsly u guise.

And if I DID own that top, I would definitely want to wear it with these shoes. Oh yeah.

I have a favourite shirt. It is sky blue, it is loose and comfy, it has buttons. However, if I had THIS shirt, I think my current favourite shirt would probably get jealous, because I would definitely wear this one all. the. time. There is only everything right with this shirt, and absolutely nothing wrong.

I'm gonna conclude this post now, cause I feel that it has reached a natural ending place, definitely not because it's late and I'm sleepy. Nope. Definitely not that last thing. Ha ha ha. Yeah okay goodnight. 

Let's Get Some Shoes Part 2 of 2

Okay, just like last time, we're gonna start out slow and then build up to CRAZY. SHOES SHOES SHOES. AHHH. I'm really hyper this morning, I apologize.

Yes. Yes this is good. Can't you just imagine some girl with beehive hair and a mod minidress dancing around to The Beatles in these shoes? You can. I know you can.

I'm sure it won't take you long to discover this, but I have something of a teeny tiny absolute obsession with  the womenswear/menswear overlap. As a result, these shoes put me in veritable spasms of style rapture. That phrase makes no sense, but I think you get the jist of what I'm trying to say. Maybe. A little bit. Or not at all, who knows, I don't.

Adorable. Strictly adorable. I imagine that these would look amazing paired with a short floral dress. Spinning around in a field would also be involved.

Oxford heels are another obsession of mine, and I do have a pair, but while mine are saturated in black patent leather shininess, they sadly do not possess a silhouette this fabulous. BRB, drooling. This is embarrassing. MOVE ALONG MOVE ALONG NOTHING TO SEE HERE JUST ME, BEREFT OF DIGNITY. 

Now, the colour green is my mortal enemy, but I think I could manage too bury the hatchet if it meant I could add these beauties to my collection.

I also have a pair of white boots similar to these, courtesy of Urban Outfitters, but again, the silhouette of my shoes positively pales in comparison with these. Also, mine are looking completely dilapidated from overwear, whereas these are in downright glorious condition. Anyone feeling generous? Just saying.

Ah, my old friend, the T-strap sandal. Now in stunning fuschia suede. Wunderbar (pardon my German, again, I should really stick with English).

Once upon a time I was under the impression that everyone knew about Land's End. Since then I've been proven wrong, so I'm going to preface my next statement by telling you, dear reader, to visit the link first. Done? Okay good. Anyway, these beauties were apparently birthed by Land's End. Who knew that store could be this rad? And all this time I thought they specialized in naval themed summer wear.

I feel like more people need to know these exist. How did these ever go out of style?

Forget black flats, all those "10 things every woman should have in her closet" guides really need to include a pair of mustard yellow, cut-out ankle boots. Deep down inside, you're agreeing with me.

Also, every woman should really have a pair of multi-coloured slingbacks in her closet. I just wanna take a moment to draw your attention to the way all the colours in this photo are so garishly mismatched, yet work so beautifully together. Why can't mankind be this cooperative?

Just wanted to take a couple seconds to remind you all that there was a time not so long ago (when the teenagers of today were born) when shoes like these were popular. Let this knowledge wash over you. Done? Okay, let's move on to true gems of my search.

Are these men's shoes, are they women's shoes? You know, sometimes a pair of shoes reaches such a height of amazingfulestness that it really doesn't matter anymore. They become timeless, sexless wonders of footwear, and all you can do is bask in their glory and hope that your feet (and your wallet) can handle such beauty. Okay I'm done.

Floral Doc Martens. The best things to come out of the 90s, hands down. 

That concludes my highly undignified lusting over vintage footwear... OR DOES IT? DUN DUN DUUUN.
