This is the Angle!

Hi guys,

I'm so sorry that I've been awol for so many months.  I guess it's been hard for me to get into fashion as of late.  I've been more consumer with writing right now.  I'm trying to complete a YA fantasy novel that will make girls hearts go ba-bump ba-bump.

If you wanna read my blogposts about writing, definitely check out mauramilan.wordpress.com.  I kinda feel like I'll be posting generally about fashion in there too and also about my extreme nerd obsessions.

But right now, I wanna gush about these Helmut Lang boots.

Not sure if you can tell, but the heel comes to the end at a really cute point.  Even though, I haven't been wearing too many high-heel type boots (mostly wearing flat boots now), I'm a sucker for strange heels.  I also love how the top of the heel isn't completely flush with the leather.  It's so blocky and cool.

Oh, Helmut Lang...you got me again!!

This is the Piedmont

   

Everytime I look for new shoes, I always think, are these the shoes that I want to get dirty?  And there have been a couple of those shoes, where I decide would be perfectly ok with getting some mud on them, but then,  a rainy day comes, I'm filled with dreadful thoughts of soiling that particular pair.

But not with these rain boots above.  They're so cool looking, and with the rubber sold and the rubber body, I won't scared at all to jump into a puddle of dirty water or go tromping through a muddy forest.

Plus the little splashes of colorblocking is darling.  Sold.  Get on my feet now! ^_^

This is Tod's.

I don't know why, but I like these!  I'm so in love with chelsea boots; I have 2 Alexander Wang Anouck boots, and I'm always scouring for another unique twist on the chelsea.  These Tod's platform chelseas are pretty cute.  They give you height while also keeping the sleek silhouette of the chelsea.

What do you guys think?  I want one, just don't know where to get one.  They're all sold out on MyTheresa here.

This is stingray.

As you all know, I love LD Tuttle boots.  So for a couple months now, I've been obsessing over the Helmut Lang X LD Tuttle boots, especially the black version with the stingray leather in the back.  How unique!  It really just makes me wanna throw down 700$ and buy them, but then I look at my bank account and say "not quite yet."

I guess I have been going wedge crazy lately.  I have a pair of Rick Owens that I wear so often since they're so comfortable, and just got a pair of Ann Demeulemeester suede wedges.  I wonder if I can include another wedge in my collection.  But the silhouette is so unique and striking that I'm sure I can make some room.

You can buy them here.

This is vest season.

Summer is coming so incredibly soon.  It's time to take off those jackets and put on those vests.  I bought this Rick Owens vest for that reason.  I was so excited that I had to take some pics right after taking it out of the box, still with tags and everything HAHAH!

I love this vest.  It has this great diagonal button closure that wraps around me like a snake.  So I can wear it like a cloak or wear it like a boa constrictor.  I can put it over any regular t shirt or dress that I have, and it all looks fantastique!

Hey guys!  I'm so sorry for my lack of posts.  I've been in a rut fashion-wise (meaning, I don't have any huge current fashion wants of the moment).  But I wanted to say hello to everyone peeking in!  

I've been recently wanting to buy a duplicate pair of booties.  I have these Cheap Monday boots in black suede, and I love them.  They're so sleek and slim and go well with skinny jeans.  I wanted to get another pair because I love them so much.  Comfort and cool is worth another buy, right!?

These are available in such cool colors now too, like a wheat color and a wine-red.  That red is something I could probably consider, but black is safe and goes well with EVERYTHING.

Have you ever bought the same pair of boots just so they would last forever in your wardrobe??  What kind?  Let me know what your go-to booties are!!

This is Jacquelyn.

Messing around with my new Yashica T4 camera.  The focus is a little tricky :(  but I had fun getting a little gangsta in these photos.  These Alexander Wang Jacquelyn boots are probably the tallest boots I have.  The platform is intense, and yes looks like you'll fall in an instant, but these boots are probably the most comfy heels (of this height) that I have.  I mean yes, if you bump me at the hip, I may topple over...but these boots are great for trekking around the city and flat surfaces.

Happy New Year everyone!  I wanted to start my first year post with a new excitement for me.  As you know, I'm a big fan of the Alexander Wang's Anouck beatle boot.  I love the classic simplicity paired with that shiny cut-out accent heel.  Such an excellent combo.  

I was browsing on Saks's website and saw the new update for it.  What do you think?  I like the mix of textures, and I really do appreciate that they kept the silhouette the same.  Such eye candy indeed.

Shoes -- Alexander Wang

This is street stomping.

When you walk around the city, you need a perfect pair of boots.   Yes, these boots are from seasons past, but they're such street treasures.  Alexander Wang's twist on the beatle boot is so modern and classy, and the little metal edge on the heel is to die for.  Alexander McQueen's skeleton bootie is also  a cute little thing.  It's a black metal pixie boot brought to life!  I imagine it would be amazing paired with some slim and slick black leggings and a slouchy top.

If you have even one of these, you are one lucky ducky.  Stomp the pavement with them, but not too hard... make them last forever!!
