Flatten Down

>> I'm going through my usual post-Christmas ritual of checking out the sales online and thus also torturing myself with the arrivals of new season stock and whilst I was quietly sobbing to myself and lamenting the fact that I've yet to win Euro Millions (well truth be told, I've never played the lottery ever ever…), this homepage image on Luisa Viaroma, meant to herald in the new season's colourful Lanvin stock caught my eye.  I've spent the year struggling with a dodgy ankle, which you peeps have born witness to and this has spawned a re0infatuation with functional-yet-interesting footwear and a newfound love of certain trainers.  Lanvin's foray into femme trainers continues on with the new season offering up more girly satin options as demonstrated in this illustration, which may just be a random holding page image but in my mind ushers in a new season where it may be the beginning of the end of shoe porning over the highest of heels.  

The endless run of shoe-trending articles in the mags right now are throwing out revivalist optons of 'clogs', 'kitten heels', 'mid-heels' etc etc and whilst lower heels are all very well, flattening down and going complete heel-less is to me, looking quite promising.  I'll look to my dusty collection of limited edition Converse and Nikes which I accumulated in my teens, and see where they will go, and hopefully like these juicy, fruity ensembles here, any notion that trainers signify casual dowdiness will be banished forever more.  Bewarned, trainer-haters…

  1. Eek! Have just read previous post too. OMG you bought the Valentino raincoat – you have to wear it to my short film premier (invite for you and Mr Salvage soon) – no leaving on the seat you won’t be able to trust me!!
    Yep some new season flats and trainer loving should help dodgy ankle.

  2. trainers will never signify dowdiness in my eyes! I have quite the Nike collection! Even if I never post pics of them…..maybe I should!

  3. I love the colour…I am definitely checking them out. I didn’t brave the boxing day sales but went the day after. I just can’t do it anymore, I don’t know what’s happened to me!
