After a long-long time, sadly, the “Please don’t” post had to appear. Hopefully we all can agree on the following style mistakes.
To begin with, here’s a collage of badly chosen footwear – remember, these ladies did not go to the local store but they attended awards shows and movie premieres. I hope you see my point:
(By the way, I really like Bettina’s dress, it looks fab with that gigantic bow!)

The case of the next two ladies is a bit different. Lauren McKnight has to buy shoes that respect the shape of her feet and the fact that – as weird as it may sound – she does have toes.
Meanwhile, Sandy Mölling of No Angels is a victim of the “stockings-sandals debate“. In my opinion, black stockings work well with black sandals – but most of the other combination of colors creates a strange look. Note that this case is different from the socks-sandals combination of the summer. I have to admit it’s far from horrible, but I could have imagined a better look.
Sooo, what’s your point of view? Verdicts?

The week starting tomorrow seems to be easier for me than this last one, expect to see post appearing more often and regularly!
Let me start with this: the high heel-a-thon is – as far as I know – a charity event and is basically all about having fun and breaking your ankle. Of course, the podium finishers get great prizes, like a new VW Jetta+$10.000 for the winner, $5000 for the runner-up and $2500 for the lady who finishes third.
This years event has been held on the 22nd September, hosted by Kelly Ripa, as usual. This time, also Kristin Chenoweth and AnnaLynne McCord were there, just like Johnny Weir, who participated in the men’s heat (!). 150 yards of fun 😀
Let’s say what some of the participants tweeted about this event:
Tomorrow I’m on regis/kelly. Then kelly and I and annalynne do a high heel race. I’m scared.
Did high heel (hell) run with Ripa. She is awesome. I came in 190th. Out 500 I think. CERAMI GIRLS saved me
Cerami Grils thank you! We were a great team and u held me UP in my Louboutins!
I came in last of the celebs! At least I won something! LAST! Hahahahha
all I saw was Kelly Ripa’s butt! She is FASt!
so glad I didn’t break my neck.

Johnny Weir had the following to say about it:
I didn’t win the heel-a-thon but I tried my best! So proud that so many came out to run and support a great cause!
I looked pretty! I so can’t run in five inch Louboutins. But my calves looked stellar while trotting! Xoxo

About the host, Kelly Ripa:
“I’m going to treat this like any sale at Barneys,” Ripa, who wore 3-inch, T-strap LaDuca dance shoes, joked before the race. “I’ve never worn a heel less than 6 inches [high, so] essentially, I’m running in a sneaker.”
A video about the race:
A similar event has been held in Leeds, UK, today, but that was a 1.5 mile route! If you’re interested, you can read more about that here.

So much about this topic, now I have a few collages about boots for you. These kind of boots have been worn by celebrities in September so far – there are a few ugly ones but thanks Lord nobody wore the Yeti-boots by Chanel so far 😀

Meanwhile, in Germany at Fashion’s Night Out in Berlin (top row):

I hope you’ve had a nice weekend, see you tomorrow!
Sadly, there have been a lot of fashion mistakes lately…
Nr. 2 and 3: seriously, wtf?

I wonder in which box they’ve found the following shoes. Maybe in the one with a big “Never wear them again” sign on it.

She thought it’s okay to go to national premiere of Salt in these boots…It’s not.

Last one. Looks like either 1. they weren’t informed about the sand or 2. they are plain stupid and don’t know that heels don’t work well with sand.

Actually, these are the last pictures. But I feel like this is a more complicated story.
I never liked clogs. I could tolerate them during the last 2-3 months, I saw a few people who could actually wear them and they looked good (Adele and Taylor, for instance), but not that fall is just around the corner, those who own a pair should say bye to their clogs and put them away. The fashion industry has played a trick on you all, fine, but let’s get over it and move on.
Please.
