and know how much it has been part of the trend reports this year,
so these would be my choices which are much reasonably priced & affordable versions of the "sneaker-wedge" shoe:



The "studded sneaker" shoe by Zara retailing for only $99.90 (to be precise)
available soon.




Steve Madden's very closely resembling to Isabel Marant's sneaker wedge shoe,
named "Hilight" for $149.95

And of course, one of the originators for the sneaker-wedge craze;

The "Bea" shoe by ASH;

(available on shopbop, asos, karmaloop)

for about $235.00

Ash also has a ton of variety when it comes to the wedge in their shoe,

even if it's an ugg, boot, etc.

Now this post is to pay a little homage because in my eyes, her jewelry has been the most imitated from probably 2010ish - 2012.  You know those little ads on the borders of those gossip/blog sites you like to visit?  Well Ive seen so many online boutiques copying her items, from the "Bad" ring to her "Queen of The Jungle" necklace that Rihanna has been parading around in recently.
This may seem like a contradiction between my last post about saving $$ on products that are the same under a different label, but it's not.  Why? because there's that key phrase: "products that are the same", meaning manufactured from the same factory, same details, same quality.. just for a different price.
But this post is about purchasing lower quality items just because it looks the same, or faking it until you buy it.. or not.

You know those cheesy online shops that look appealing because they sell the hottest trends in accessories,
for instance, these lion chain necklaces I googled that are apparently trying really hard to morph into the Queen of The Jungle necklace:



But fail.

Even Leona Lewis didn't get the memo:


But it's ok!
I got you Leona girl!

ok so like..
I SOMEHOW made a cartoon version of me on photoshop..
I didn't even know that I was capable of doing so :/

I took this photo;



& turned it into this;



Using NO tutorials or anything !!
I'm proud of myself, lol.
This shall be the start of something great.

One of my dear friends Erick Arc Elliot has just released his
new album and it's more than what you could imagine.

You WILL NOT & I repeat WILL NOT be disappointed.

OK SO, Yesterday, I went to the MET (Metropolitan Museum of Art) for the Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty Exhibit & stayed in complete awe as well as inspiration throughout the whole exhibit and even day..
As a matter of fact, i'm still greatly inspired at this very moment.
What i'm basically telling you is, if you haven't visited the exhibit & you're in the NYC area,
please do it as soon as possible because you won't be disappointed one bit.


& for those who aren't nearby, or can't make it here's a video basically displaying the same and extra
details that were included in the exhibit:


OR

It was so amazing and intense with emotion. I got pissed when I heard someone say "Ooh you can tell he was inspired by Lady Gaga." As if Lady Gaga presented herself to the world as she is now before McQueen even came about. *rolls eyes* Anyway, He was truly a legend and oh so inspiring. The quotes mounted on walls and displays also help you to understand the stories behind every garment which sometimes lead me into a "OHH! I get it now!" moment when viewing then reading.  What I loved the most was the fact that you KNEW and could tell how much time and thought and patience that were put into every design.

& UNFORTUNATELY, we couldn't take photos, & while I tried to sneak, I failed.
