Love or Loathe: Prada Chandelier Shoes

By -
I love the concept of these crystal chandelier drop sandals from Prada. It's no secret that we think the refraction of a chandelier makes for great jewelry, but on a shoe? Wouldn't it tickle the toes?

The bigger issue here, however, is every other part of the shoe. The nailheads remind me of 90s clogs. And the Velcro is so painfully present it detracts from the pretty pendants.

They don't seem to be available in the US. Darn, because I'm sure we were all going to rush out and buy them. Price point aside, what do you think of spring's It shoe?

Hate them! Big velcro, where in the heck would most people (me) wear them? And I am sure they are ungodly expensive!

Not loving it. The shoes seems too busy and the exposed Velcro is not a selling point.

I love the idea of this shoe, but I don't like the execution. Even without the velcro and nailheads it would be busy and clunky.

They should have done a heel that looks like chandelier pieces. I would love that.

I really like the chandelier part, but as for the rest, not so much. The velcro is just plain ugly, and the shoe part seems too clunky to go with the chandelier decoration.

LOVE!

Chunky heel = easy to walk and RUN in.

clear+velcro = makes me feel like a little girl again + easily adjustable + appeals to my engineer love velcro side.

chandelier made it ugly pretty. Without the velcro and chunky heel, it would look hooker-ish to me. And being on the chubby side, chunky heels look more proportionate than skinny heels on me.

It will elicit a love or hate response from most people, but it's better than boring. It's easy to adjust/walk in and make me feel like a little girl again. =D

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
