free monsters

Shoes: Bebe<--black gets re-listed. Jacket: Zara. Fedora: Thrift. Leopard print top: Men's H&M. Bag: Alexander Wang. Grey cardigan: Forever 21. Crucifix: Fashionology
Monster wedge. Monster wedge. Monster wedge.
That was the one thing in my head when I was sent a Bebe gift certificate for best New Year's pictures via Chictopia (thank you!).
I picked up these platforms immediately. Like most sandals, wear now with wrinkly old socks and then bare feet later on.
ps. Do you lot do the sock/heel thing as well?

  2. <3 those wedges! and i also love the socks/heels thing. it makes use out of spring/summer shoes in the winter! just as long as it's a cute pair of socks and not some dingy pair of gym socks.

  4. I did the sock and platform sandal thing on one post and I think it can be a cute look! I paired black & white platform lace up heels with red socks. I like your Bebe platform wedges a lot. They look gorgeous and easy to walk in. I like the leopard print top as well! xo

  7. I have never tried, but i really like the socks heel combination and wanna try this winter! Wich kind of socks do you recomend?

    ReplyDelete
  8. Yeahhhhh I'm such a big fan of the whole sock/heel combo! Seriously, it's such a great way to continue wearing the fabulous heels all the way through freezing cold winter weathers (when I'm sick of strutting around in boots, that is).. And yeah chica..... I love your rings too! Where do you get most of your rings from?

    Btw I have a similar leopard top as the one ur wearing here, but mine is from forever 21 :)

  54. Hi you lot. Thanks for the comments. Socks def makes shoes year round (apart from rain of course).

    I know the shoes are insanely high but that's the attraction.


    Marian - any sock that's not furry sports like will do. So anything thats thin ish so you can get some wrinkle. H&M usually has some good ones or Topshop?

    Thx for those asking about the rings. The skull i've had for ages. Its from a street vendor on St Marks Place. The 'wings' ring next to it I got from a random cheap jewellery only shop midtown. The little squiggle snake is from Fashionology.net I've got about 3 various snake rings now. That one's the smallest.

    Fashion Chalet - definitely!

  55. Rings and Purple leopard shirt are delightful!

    ReplyDelete
  56. ahhh those wedges are so perfect; i would buy them if they were up on the site!
    oh and i love the sock/heel combo, especially when it's done right, like you did here =)

    ReplyDelete
  57. Initially, I thought socks with heels were a No! You and Erika inspired me to wear socks with my platforms. Everything on you doesn't seem so weird after all. I checked out YES STYLE, the store you mentioned awhile back, I think you wore a skull knit or something of that sort. Got this cute gray sweater with primary color mini pom poms. I love it, so thanks for the referral!

  62. MONSTER! AHH I WANT THE MONSTER! I love the sock/sandal look so long as its involving sky high heels and scrunched up socks. Some people make the sad mistake of birks and socks which is BAD BAD BAD! You look fab.
