they deserve a nobel prize

Dang! I have not felt this way about a FLORAL in a while, guys. Or a wedge.
Fellow blogger Cathy emailed me the link to the Etsy store Woland and Moon and if you ask my friend EB, a pinata with whom I was skyping with at the time, he will tell you that I did indeed gasp when I opened the link.
Total Harajuku potential, super TALL. And prints like the plastic tablecloths your aunt in Miami always uses. And prints like those on tshirts of my sister's friends when they were in about 7th grade and also sporting butterfly hairclips and bandanas. And handmade, which is even more special (though frankly I would never give these away if I had the talent to make them.)
They sort of dance around that line between good and weird and feel slightly awkward, in a good way. I love it when one part of an outfit sets the whole thing a bit off...
omg
I can't afford them so someone else buy them so I'm not tempted.
See you in my dreams, shoesies.

  1. They are interesting, but disgusting. I hate to love them, because generally they are ugly, but I love them because they are different. I love post of the patterns, and thos sandle boots - LOL.

  8. Hello Tavi.
    I love your blog. You're awesome. I greatly admire you, for your age and you understand a lot about fashion.
    Well I'm always seeing your updates and see that many people here in Brazil is talking very highly of you.
    I wish you authorize me to do your blog in Portuguese version.
    With all the rights to you. Of course.
    I thank you.
    Kisses

  13. They're like cats with no hair or oversized bottom jawed dogs...a little strange to look at and you wonder if they'll bite if you pat them...but you like em anyway.

  23. Not really my thing but in terms of appreciation of the work that goes into them all I can think is WOW! Also the first boots are just pretty amazing.

  24. I LOVE the boot at the bottom!!

  26. woah man woah!! you made my night.

    ReplyDelete
  27. WOWZERS. See, here's an example of fashion that I would never wear, but I can appreciate as an art. These are wonderful. I hope I see some blogger out there (who is more stylish...and more rich than me) rocking these.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Oh man, these are wicked! So not my thing, but I think you would look rad in that first pair of purple/floral shoes.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I like the purple ones. Will totally rock the floral pattern boots with the purple lace shoe string and like the grass green floral print heel boots.

    ReplyDelete
  30. wow, it's really impressive that these are all handmade!! i love the lace up boots at the top and ones on the bottom left. those are probably the one's i would chose, but i could imagine the others looking good on some people with the right styling, especially the bottom right... thanks for sharing, tavi! you're awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  31. also, i definitely see the harajuku potential in some of them!!

    ReplyDelete
  32. I'm also a fan of the boot on the bottom left, like a lot of other people here!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Awww man, they're spectacular and magical! The first boots at the top are delicious! What a refreshing alternative to all the studs and cages you see on everyone's feet these days. Etsy's the greatest, I wish the website had some underground warehouse with all the special stuff people sell on there and I could just spend all night strolling through it like it's the fleamarket.
    If you love flowers though, you should check these out, they were new today on the Forever21 website:

  36. Susie Bubble just got that clarissa explains it all nineties up a few days ago. These are too much. OVER THE EDGE

    ReplyDelete
  37. Wow, I actually developed a strong affection to last pair in nanoseconds. Price is bit steep for me too, otherwise there would have already been that faint squeek from PayPal happening.

    But the more I look at them the more I appreciate the awkward clumpiness of almost all of them, they would provide great edge to styling.

    ReplyDelete
  38. they're amazing,
    they do deserve a prize! <3

    ReplyDelete
  39. Thanks for posting this!
    I may end up buying a pair. :O

    ReplyDelete
  40. Wow... They're so fuuny and amazing.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I love the bottom right pair, for some reason Marc Jacobs came into my head when I saw them....? I could see them being worn with A Marc by Marc all in one, and the Marc by Marc bow around the head! I'm not so keen on some of the others for myself but I think you could rock them. They remind me of some Lulu Guinness ones I once saw in TK Maxx. Whoever made these is very talented. lets hope you have a fan who wants to treat you to a pair for Christmas.

  42. they are beautiful!

  43. They do deserve a Nobel Prize!!!! I like the purple ones the best.

  44. the florals on the bottom right are the prettiest, but if you ask me they are all quite ghastly!

    ReplyDelete
  45. I like the blue based, floral one at the bottom, and the purple laced shiny beige one on top. Styled properly, some of these could loook major but as interestingly nostalgic the prints are, the designs sometimes made it look a little tacky. But ya know, it's all in the stylin I guess.

    ReplyDelete
  46. you know something? I kind of miss wearing butterfly hair clips with little wings on springs that fluttered, and bandanas.

  47. Amazing! I could fight for first shoes, because "Ugly is new pretty".

  57. I think most of em are really ugly, the first one you posted looks decent though. If you're interested, I did a little post on my blog on some good movies that I watched recently. (This is not a way for you, and others to go see my blog), but I thought you might like it. I did a post on 'American Splendor', 'Welcome to the Dollhouse' and 'Art School Confidential'. A little review if you will.

    Ciaociao!

  59. Holy moley. The clogs with the neon pink strap,and those last boots... yum yum.
    I think there's something to be said about fashion that even your grandmother would compliment you on.
