Spring Trend Alert - It's all below deck...

Now, if you are like me, you are starting to think about this year's Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival, and more to the point, studiously observing the latest trends to incorporate into your look.

One thing I have noticed is the emphasis on statement shoes and legs. Observe:

Bright red with polka dots on dark legs and Mary-Janes with bobby socks! I loved that gorgeous petti-skirt in contrasting royal blue too.

Diamante studded wedges with patterned stockings (I am still undecided about the open toes with stockings look - what do you think?)

Another fantastic example of statement pins! I just love these stockings - fishnets with roses!

More Mary-Janes with bobby socks. You can get those delicious Vivienne Westwoods here.

Creating interest in one's legs is never a bad thing Kittens!

What's your Spring trend?

Indecent Obsession?

Just how many shoes does a fashionista sista need? How many pairs is too many? Is there really such a thing?

Even a girl with a strict budget like myself seems to be able to accumulate a vast array of footwear fashion. At the moment I am aquiring at least two pairs a month. In certain circles I been known as "Shoosie" I'm actually starting to run out of proper storage space for my tootsie covers.

So I thought I'd let you have a peek inside Vintage Verve's shoe closet so you can tell me: is 48 pairs of shoes too many for one vintage kitten?




I've got them all!

Casual Trainers
Wedges
Stilettos

Platforms
Pumps
Peeptoes
Sandals
Ballet Flats
Kitten heels
Thongs (Flip Flops)
Boots....

The only ones I can think I am missing are Taser Heels from Imelda!

What is it that you can never say no to one more of? It might be handbags, brooches, perfume bottles or lipsticks. Perhaps you can't say no to another Tim Tam. What wiley ways have you devised to you keep yourself in check?

Every Girl Deserves: Red Shoes

Don't you just love statement shoes? I've posted before on my love of them. Without a doubt, I think that a pair of red shoes has the power to lift, not only your entire ensemble, but your confidence and mood. Red shoes say "I have flair, style AND the confidence to pull them off" plus, I have never, EVER heard a single person say anything negative about any of the four pair I personally own and wear.

I think we all need a few more Dorothy moments in our lives!

Here are my newest additions:

Red patent leather, kitten heels and bling! What's not to love?

What are your "statement" pieces and how do you style them? Share your thoughts with me Kittens.
