a/w 2011 alexander mcqueen chelsea rubber-toe quarter brogue is one of my favorite shoes for the season and not because i work in chelsea. well maybe a little ;) but the shoe is available for purchase at www.ssense.com and of course alexandermcqueen.com. at 745u$s, the hand-crafted Italian brogue, though subdued, is expressive of the mcqueen edge. Sarah Burton seems to be getting her footing with this second collection. The highly polished leather is contrasted with a matte-rubber geometric toe. The material and sheen juxtaposition allow the shoe to transition from über formal to urban chic. devoid of color, this brogue forces you to take notice of the detailing; an elegant cream and red tab at the heel and substantial sole are the icing on the cake.
"-naut" is a suffix of exploration and voyeurism. Astronaut...cosmonaut... DESIGN-NAUT?... grey is my fetish and this is -naut mag™

Alexander McQueen Rubber-Toe Cap Chelsea Shoe
ok ok ok (so just to start, apparently i always exclaim in 3s. maybe im mental, eh idk)... I started this blog almost a year ago. Yes a bit late on the blog scene but as you can see i made ONE post (last seasons military inspired MMJ bag). Im going to do better -- I think. not the with the bag...but with the posts:) Nevertheless I love design. All design, especially fashion. so yes i am jumping on the already over-filled bandwagon of 'fashion/lifestyle' blogs. I just hope i can keep up. (note: please excuse the grammatical errors. i am TRULY opposed to caps other than those used for graphic emphasis). anyhow, i am starting with ZERO yes count them... ZERO followers. im not even following it myself but here's to hoping... oh oh oh before i dig in just know i LOVE grey and can never have enough. yes, boring to some but for me shades of grey ooze depth and sophistication. who cares? idk maybe no one, but I DO, so lets start.
