POUF, There it is!

I've been looking at the Fall designer shoes on style.com and I've noticed a very strange trend... Poufs!

Look at all these little furball shoes...

Alexander Wang

Sergio Rossi 

 Aperlai

 Brian Atwood

Gianvito Rossi 

Casadei

Louboutin

Diego Dolcini

What do you think of this hairy situation?

Aqua Dress

Aqua dress, Asos mongolian fur vest, Pinko leather jacket, Alexander Wang boots and bag.
 
I remember saying that in my next post I would be in training shoes. 
Well, I was dying to wear my new Aqua dress so training shoes wouldn't be the best of choices.
The last few days I've been living in my "mongolian" fur vest, wearing it in every possible way. 
Thank god for you guys, spring should be here soon and I will spare you the pain of keep commenting on it!

If You Don't Like Fur... You Won't like Fall

Accessory reports are showing that fur is huge for Fall 2010. Yikes.

Fur is bad enough on coats but at least you can say that they keep you warm. Fur on your feet??

According to top designers, yes.

If you ask me? No.

Gross gross gross. I'm all for a little shearling trim on a cool boot like this one from Burberry

But the following shoes are just silly. And cruel.

Lanvin's Fox fur boot.

Why would you want to look like you had fat hairy legs??

Celine (the design house, not me) has this option for those of you who just want fur between your toes. Sweaty.

Lovely. And if that isn't enough fur... there's more here

(rabbit fur)

Chanel is doing fur in a cruelty free way... faux fur. Less cruel on the animals but not on my eyes!

The second one looks like a Wooly Mammoth and the ice he got frozen in.

Louboutin uses Coyote....

Coyote balls?? Weird.

While Hermes uses Raccoon...

Pierre Hardy uses Marmot (a kind of giant squirel)

Then Manolo trumps them all and uses Chinchilla fur

While my pet Chinchilla, Fafi strongly objects. Aint she cute?

Then, just when you think it couldn't get any more vulgar, Roger Vivier gives small defenseless animals a big ol middle finger and sticks a dyed pink fox face on a clutch. Classy.

Listen. I'm not an animal rights activist but fur has never really sat well with me. Even if these shoes were all faux fur, I still wouldn't like them cause they look silly.

What do you guys think about fur on shoes?? What is your stance on fur, if you have one?

I leave you with this. One of my favorite anti-fur moments of classic American cinema...

Bringing Furry Back

I was shopping at Phillips Shoes recently..just looking really when I saw these. I fell in love and just had to get them. The only bad thing about them was that they were not on sale. They were the full $79.00. Now, just a week later, they are on sale everywhere for $39.00. I love them. The pony fur feels smooth. It is not real, but it lools like it is. These are the Aerosoles: Spantastic. Comfy!

What I do is kick them in the pants with a diamond buckled shoe!
