Those clogs

Well this post and this trend will not come as a surprise to most of you, yes clogs are back and it looks like they are here to stay throughout the summer. I have been looking for a while now for m perfect clog and boy did I look (you might remember this post). For a long time I hesitated to buy the JC clog which was a almost replica of the Chanel ones but I like to have my feet strapped in for some reason Then I received the JS Dany's but the platform at the front is just too much for my daytime routines and then I came across these lovely Zara sandal/wedges. In my view they are the perfect clogs for this summer especially when paired with rolled up jeans like most of these gorgeous ladies have done. I love the fact that Zara has taken the old clog and made it modern. I am seriously loving them and are currently on my 'to buy now and desperately need, no matter what any one else says' list. What are you guys clogging in this summer?

So cats from different countries might 'meaouw' differently but one thing in the blogosphere is now consistent when you see a 'meaouw', more often than not, it is now associated to Miu Miu's latest collection. One collection that the bloggers have being going mad about, the platform satin shoes, the collars, the broches and most of all the kitty and swallow print. One Miu Miu inspired dress that I have been seing lately on every street corner (quite literally) is the Zara cat print dress. More over, after meeting the lovely jen from StyleCrusader sporting this cute little piece I knew then and there what my next trend post was going to be.

Three accessories (or ways to wear this dress if you wish) really caught my eye. Firstly, I love the idea of wearing stripes with this dress, either under when the weather is, well crap british weather that is very undecided like Jen or over in the form of a cardigan like Mel. I really like the idea of mixing prints and it is one hot trend for the summer. Secondly, wearing the dress with clogs seems to work for the girls and if definitely works for me. Indeed, why not work two trends at the same time, like Jen (yes her again, no I am not obsessed), Iris and Emily. Plus it really gives the dress a certain extra charm. Thirdly, a smile is the best accessory of them all. This dress screams 'please don't take me too seriously' even more so when paired with clogs and mixing prints, so no frowning ladies! Well, I'm off to go and cry outside my zara as they don't sell this cute little piece anymore and I'm stuck on campus for the newt two weeks to study for my exams.

Clogmania

From the Chanel catwalk to Alexa Chung's feet into bloggers virtual shopping baskets, the clog has made it's way into the fashion sphere. I thought I had seen it all in 2009 with the comeback of some of the most unexpected trends such as latex, socks and upon toa sandals... But it looks like 2010 is kicking off with clogs of all things. Like them or hate them, it sure looks like they are here to say. Indeed, when Jeffrey Campbell starts designing the shoes bloggers lust for, it becomes a trend and a trends even though they don't stay for ever they sure do stick around.

As for me, I quite like the JC Charlie clog in black (or maybe in brown) but before I spend 100 Euros on a pair clogs I desperately need to figure out how and when I'm going to wear them. Then I remembered I had seen on Le Fashion, the Jessica Simpson's (yes you heard me correctly and there is no need to state the obvious) Dany wooden heels which were pretty incredible too, but that front platform scares the living crap out of me. Decisions, Decisions.. The next step is finding someone who will to the UK.
