Sociology is STILL overrated...

Saturday I purchased these shoes from forever21:

I've been looking at them for a good month now&when I saw them in the store I had to have them. I was in love. Mental fireworks were set off as I imagined wearing them with knit tights and a cute belted dress with a sweater on top. When I got back home I tried to make myself walk in them and had to take them off after a few hours. If only the platform in the front was higher... (it's really much smaller then it looks in the picture) Although they hurt, pain is beauty&I'm in love. So I'm going to buy some pads to put on the sole. An update is to follow...

sociology is overrated, but balmain isn't

I can't pay attention to sociology 8:30 in the morning. It just doesn't work. So what do I do? Put together outfits&look at couture. 

Balmain Spring 2009 Ready-to-Wear
balmain's spring collection is gorgeous. GORGEOUS. For instance the amazing sequined green number above. Besides the light blue ripped jeans, I think I may be in love. Especially with the military-inspired jackets that everyone can reuse from fall... because everyone should have bought one.

3.1 philip lim's red military jacket is also fabulous (with a white v-neck, black skinny jeans&black ankle boots... marc jacobs has nice pair):

3.1 Phillip Lim Asymmetric cadet jacket
for something more affordable check out topshop or urban outfitters...

 
Back to Balmain... I won't even start with the dresses... I'm obsessed. Clearly.
