I wanna be a Creep!

Creepers, I don't know why but I love them so much. They're super chunky just short of clunky and look all around bad ass bordering on rock star/grunger.
The term "creeper" comes from "crepe-soled" and was a loafer with a flat platform. The 2011 creeper can be anything from a flat form loafer to a loafer-gone-sexy wedge (this is what I'm into). Check out the evolution of creepers from vintage to ska/punk/rocker to sexy (and still rocker).

So I'm gonna try to get myself either the JC or Aldo version of this shoe. And as a cheap girl, I'm prepared to wait till they're out of season and get them on sale. You gotta do what you gotta do!

I loooovee these booties, so much! Perfect for anything, skirt, skinny pants, palazzo pants, or even shorts!

And now another fantastic fall look; fringe shall, skinny pants, and treaded, ankle strap, peep toes.

I just had to feature this post because I have these shoes! From Zara, they were my first expensive shoes ($130). Ironically enough that rubber bottom makes them an absolute beast to walk in! I highly recommend having an arm to lean on if you get shoes with these treaded soles.

Yup, that's grass stuck in the bottom.

Bought them on my graduation trip to Portugal with my mom.

Now time for a little gothic goodness to get you in the mood for Halloween.

Skullicious! Designer unknown.

From the big ears, a FANTASTIC blog!

Maison Michel headgear. Reminds me of a dinosaur or a spiny fish--I'd totally wear it!!

Luscious, sexy, black makeup done right.

Beautiful Shoe Collections

Shoes are are sometimes sexy, sometimes beautiful, or cute, or fun, ethereal, magnificent, sometimes works of art, and sometimes all of the above or maybe something entirely different. Whatever they are, I think they should be displayed to show their full glory. Below are some of the fantastic displays I've found.

Cupboards are a super convenient and cute way to display a collection.

Book shelves and nick nack shelves work just perfectly. More examples of such below.
