Strange Fashion Lust ......part deux

In keeping with my previous "I like it but why" post, I've found my strange fashion lusts are increasing by the hour! So when I stumbled across these kitschy, 50s Betty Boop inspired shoes, I wasn't surprised when that uncomfortable "gotta have them, gotta have them, gotta have them" feeling started to crescendo from the depths of somewhere between my heart and stomach (notice it had nothing to do with my brain!).

I wasn't surprised to see they were Westwood dahling....but I was surprised that I liked them (I've never gone gaga over Westwood like may other fashion lovers).
Anyway, judge for yourself. They're on ASOS at the moment officially 'Westwood for Melissa'.


Being more curious than a cat, you know I had to find out who or what Melissa is and more importantly, why I hadn't heard of them before. It turns out Melissa is a Brazilian collaboration crazy, rubber shoe brand who have worked with the likes of Gaultier and Brazilian designer Alexandre Herchcovitch.

Trivia fact: apparently their shoes smell like candy!

These beauties are from the Zaha Hadid collection, designed by the Laureate Pritzker Prize winning architect herself (yes that's a big deal in architecture land) or if she designed them....


Until next time....
