It’s Just Not Fair…

2010-02-15T10:39:00.003-05:00

      This past week I've been plotting on purchasing a pair of Designer shoes. I went to Nordstrom first because that is where I used to work. I looked through their look book and found NOTHING. On the sales floor they had a pair of red Jimmy Choo pumps that I thought were to die for. The only thing is that they are patent. I'm not into patent. The material irks me; in fact I have a pair of patent heels that I have YET to wear. I think I will just give them away. I also saw a few Valentino shoes… they were okay, but I knew in my heart that I would not be able to fit them. I even went to King of Prussia, in Pennsylvania, to go to Niemen Marcus and see what they had to offer me. I talked to a sales woman, whom I thought was very nice. I personally thought the sales associates were going to treat me like I was no one due to the fact I had shopping bags from cheaper stores. I honestly don't think you should treat anyone any different just because how they carry themselves. You never know, they could be a millionaire. Take the original Rick Ross for instance, yes, he was a millionaire drug dealer, but NO ONE knew that because of the way he carried himself. He looked like a bum off of the street.
      Back to the subject at hand, as I was conversing with the sales woman we were talking about European shoe sizes. See you have to understand, I love shoes, and otherwise I wouldn't have this shoe blog! But it's hard for me to find shoes at time. I wear a size eleven.
My foot is not wide; it's just a medium eleven. Some designers tend to think that because you wear above a ten, your foot MUST be wide. That is not always the case. Other designers feel as though women with a foot size above a ten have no sense of shoe style… PLEASE! I have a SERIOUS sense of shoe fashion. I was telling the sales woman, "I'm very interested in buying a pair of Christian Louboutins, but do they ever carry my size? Will they ever?" She insisted that I would have to do one of a few things: Buy a size 42 and STRETCHHH them out or go up to the actual store in New York City and ask them to see if they would be willing to make me a pair of size 43 shoes. I became even more frustrated. You mean to tell me that I have to drive all the way up to New York and ask one damn question, and if they turn me down, then what?!
I've come to this conclusion:

Dear European Designers,
      As Americans we love your ingenious designs. We crave for them as if they were a drug. We dream of them and pray that some of your designs can seek their way into our closets. The only problem is that we all can't fit your items. You have to realize that people come in all SHAPES, SIZES, AND COLORS! Not all of us are skinny. Some of us have butts and REAL breast. Our feet are also shaped differently. Our shoe size does secret past the size of a 10! I'm starting to think that you all believe black people also compare in size as white people… PLEASE. So if you could be so kind, please start respecting every woman and man of all cultures. We want to buy your items, but we can't. If you do I'm sure your pockets will become even fuller.

-Suezanna J.*Note- European designers tend to have their shoes sizes actually an entire shoe size smaller for Americans… It's Just NOT FARE!

I don't know if you all are aware, but I feature on another blog from time to time called Young Professional Blog Spot. I've know these guys personally for a long time and to see them create a blog the way they did makes me feel delighted. They've done such a good job from the beginning. I always find affection in their post, so I had to ask if I could be apart of their inkling.
I enjoy shoes and expressing them to ones that feel the same. I future on their blog once a week, so take a peek. Don't just go looking for me, look at their "diversity" that they offer.
NOW GO!

"I think the idea of mixing luxury and mass-market fashion is very modern — wearing head-to-toe designer has become a bit passé. It's a new era in fashion — there are no rules. It's all about the individual and personal style, wearing high-end, low-end, classic labels, and up-and-coming designers all together."
-Alexander McQueen

At the age of 40, Lee "Alexander" McQueen was found lifeless in his home today, in London, England.

Today we pay homage to one of the GREATEST designers known to man, Lee "Alexander" McQueen.

I remember watching red carpets and hearing actresses and actors saying, "I'm wearing Alexander McQueen." I would think to myself, "Wow! Who is this designer!" I was just thinking to myself months ago if I were to ever have an internship for annnnnny designer it would be Alexander McQueen. As a British designer he defined fashion with the illuminating thoughts within his mind. You could always count on him to NEVER repeat the same thing twice and always become flabbergasted at his elevated dernier cri.

BB: Blizzard... NOT COOL!

2010-02-10T12:58:00.000-05:00

If you haven't heard already, unfortunately the Northeast was hit with their second blizzard within a week's frame... Which is where I am... The snow is being so rude to my nature that its not even funny. Going outside to shovel will not work for me. BUT ON THE BRIGHT SIDE! I'm still going to Miami next month and TRUST ME! I cannot wait honeyyy!!!! I have my outfits put together in my mind. Day outfits, afternoon outfits, going out outfits, and possibly getting it 'in' outfits, lol. Let me stop! Oh! And let me not forget my shoes! Damn it! I need to get bigger luggage!

I know that I will be coming back looking CHOCOLATE. I'm a dark-skin sistah, but the sun always puts a lovely shine and coat of complexion on you. I just wish I was still working out. I need to re-up on my gym membership. It just expired 3 weeks ago, which is when I stopped going.

When I'm not able to post on the computer I post from my Blackberry. Its convenient when you don't have your resources at hand. I'm working on getting a laptop, so we'll see how that works out. Until then I'll try to inform you all of footwear as much as I can.
So for future notice, if you see post that start with "BB:", please know that it stands for "Blackberry Post". Meaning that it came from my blackberry. Just know that I'm doing my best.
