UPPITY: NO PLACE TO GO BUT UP!!!
Came across this while on Style Blazer. I’m liking the three different sub groups in the one collection. I will keep my eye on them
UPPITY: NO PLACE TO GO BUT UP!!!
I don’t wear high heel Kobe’s, but this article is interesting.
“According to the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society, people take an average of 10,000 steps a day. High heels shift the force of each of those steps so that the most pressure ends up on the ball of the foot and on the bones at the base of the toes. (If you wear flats, the entire foot would absorb this impact.) A 3-inch heel — most experts consider a heel “high” at 2 inches or more — creates three to six times more stress on the front of the foot than a shoe with a modest one-inch heel.
As a result, heels can lead to bunions, heel pain, toe deformities, shortened Achilles tendons, and trapped nerves. In fact, women account for about 90% of the nearly 800,000 operations each year for bunions, hammertoes (a permanent deformity of the toe joint in which the toe bends up slightly and then curls downward, resting on its tip), and trapped nerves, and most of these surgeries can be linked back to their high-heeled shoe choice.
The problems can travel upward, too. The ankle, knee, and hip joints can all suffer from your footwear preferences. When you walk in flats, the muscles of the leg and thigh have an opportunity to contract as well as to stretch out. However, when wearing your high-heeled shoes, the foot is held in a downward position as you walk. This keeps the knee, hip, and low back in a somewhat flexed position, which prevents the muscles that cross the backside of these joints to stretch out as they normally would. Over time, this can lead to stiffness, pain, and injury. High heels can also cause lower back strain, because the heel causes your body to pitch forward more than normal, putting excess pressure on the back.”

I had no idea the MARS necklaces were a M.E. creation! Now that Meme wore it on BGC I bet more people will be hip to M.E.! Hopefully it won’t turn into a hipster phenomenon, they can ruin stuff quick. Even if it does I still LOVE her stuff and I will continue to support!

Honestly I completely forgot everything they taught me about color theory back in grade school, but it’s very useful to know when you’re working with hair.
Like the pee pee yellow pack of hair I bought a couple weeks ago? Hit it with some blue dye for the most beauuuutiful shade of green :D
Color theory is essential for personal style. My friend Juicy demonstrates why color theory is important to her above.
Amanda Brooks is back to blogging on her site, I Love Your Style. She took a break from the blog, beginning in February 2011, after accepting the fashion director job at Barneys New York but, having given up that gig to move to England, she posted two items this week. For more
Ever since she started filming her reality show her fashion has gone to the wolves. She’s obviously trying to hard and it’s painful
NEW YORK FASHION WEEK IN FIVE MINUTES
I have way too much to say so I won’t say any of it.
This is the entirety of my week. New York Fashion Week in 5 minutes. 3600 digital frames. Everything I saw from the street. There’s no shows, just the streets. This is all of it. Whipping by at 1/125th of a second, which is my usual shutter speed. This is how fast I saw things, and this is how fast you get to see it.
Cheers.
