Mini guide to Minis – Part 1

Posted on 17th May 2013 in About us, Shoes of all kinds, Varia

If you know Fluevog you certainly know  the Minis Family. It’s like a icon in the Fluevog world. First introduced in 2001.

You can read on JF website: John decided all styles with this heel would be named after lover’s nicknames. Over the years, the style names have been getting extremely personal!

… Go on, fall in love. We dare you!

As said throughout the years there’s been many style within the family, all based on the same rubber F-Sole sole and 3″ hourglass heel (as below).

THE ZAZA

Named for and designed by San Franciscan Samantha Zaza for John’s Open Source Footwear Program.

Come in many color variations all featuring contrast piping, soft aniline leathers, wide strap with three cutesy buttons attached by elastic is sure to fit all shapes of feet.

Most recognizable: red, pink and grey:

Black & Beige

And all the other colors you could imagine:

 

Some color variations are short series, not repeated  so they become very unique:

Below – image from www.winnipegstyle.ca – Rebecca Harasym (cobalt & cherry)

And from http://willwork4shuz.blogspot.com (cherry & lilac)

Fluevogers create their own ads to celebrate the greatness of this shoe:)

Right now at our store: absolutely unique, not to find anywhere else in the world (how cool is that!!!) Zaza’s – Purple & Green – color inverted.

If you happened to own a pair with yet different color combination: let me know! I am very intrigued:)

 

Kobi Levi in Disneyland

Posted on 9th May 2013 in Shoes of all kinds, Varia

Remember Kobi Levi? Sure you do.Very creative. He did the bird series, animal series, water world series…

And now this: Disney series.

Have a look and tell me which character would you like to be?

From “Little mermaid”: Ursula.

Ursula’s shoe is a sling-back sandal that serves as her Octopus-like body.

From “Sleeping Beauty” Maleficent’s face is framed from the front of her pointy-toed shoes whilst her horns wind their way up your legs.

From “Snow White” The Evil Queen is a heel-less peep toe that frames the queen’s face whilst the upper part of the shoe serves as her crown, which wraps around your ankle.

The peep toe itself is the nape of the Queen’s neck and is just begging you to paint your big toe the same colour as her necklace.

***

Pamiętacie Kobi Levi? Na pewno. Nieco dziwne ale fantastyczne buty. Seria ptasia, wodna, zwierzęca?

Teraz Kobi udał się w bajkowy świat Disneya. Tych złych postaci. “Mała Syrenka”, “Śpiąca Królewna”, “Królewna Śnieżka”. Którą wybieracie?

Summer, Sun & Sandals!

Raspberry Heels at Poland Fashion Week

Posted on 21st April 2013 in About us, Shoes & People, Varia

As per Wikipedia:

A fashion week is a fashion industry event, lasting approximately one week, which allows fashion designers, brands or “houses” to display their latest collections in runway shows and buyers and the media to take a look at the latest trends. Most importantly, these events let the industry know what’s “in” and what’s “out” for the season.

Fashion week happens twice a year in the major fashion capitals of the world: Paris, Milan, New York and London. In Poland Fashion Week is held in Łódź since 2009.

So this year a young Polish designer Jarosław Juźwin asked to use some shoes from RH collection for his fashion show. Exciting!

Eventully John Fluevog LA Silverlakes, Minna Parikka’s Jacqueline were walking on catwalk.

Right before the show…

Peggy Sue Got Married

Posted on 14th April 2013 in About us, Varia

All of the sudden (the Vintage Girl’s post has to do with it I admit) I felt an urge to watch one f my fav movies of all times:

Pretty & talented Ms. Turner and an absolute beginner but just as talented: Mr. Cage.

A fabulous combination of great acting, superb music, awesome sense of humor, plot with a twist and some sweet 60′s – ness.

Trust me: totally worth a Saturday Night.

Nagle, na fali postu Vintage Girl poczułam palącą potrzebę obejrzenia filmu Peggy Sue Wyszła Za Mąż (zamąż???).

Widziałam ten film jeszcze w kinie Wilda chyba z 8 razy. Młodzi i piękni: Kathleen Turner i Nicolas Cage.

Świetna fabula, super muza, moda z lat 60-tych… Film wart obejrzenia. Polecam.

Size matters!

Posted on 27th March 2013 in Shoes & Celebs, Shoes of all kinds, Varia

I have noticed a while ago that some celebrities wear shoes that are way too large in size for their feet. I couldn’t help but wonder: WHY?

Is this their stylist getting their outfits ready for them, without trying them on earlier? Or are these free shoes sent by designers and since they are free they need to be showed off? No idea.

Carmen Electra

Shoe-tography

Posted on 22nd March 2013 in About us, Varia

So I used to take LOTS of pictures.

There are skills which if you have learned once you have them forever.

Like riding a bike.

So once I used to be a picture taker. I still take pictures – but now differently. Hope to have more time at some point and come back to picture taking full time:)

Anyways…. here’s some of my shoe images during weddings and such:)

 

Yep, I did boudoirs too…

Lovely…

As stated – now my picture taking is somehow limited to everyday life… (did I mention I own a couple of very hungry dogs???)
