#PFW WITHOUT THE SHOE PROBLEM

Posted on October 15th 2015 by

There’s always a stressful moment right before any Fashion Week starts, but especially when I have to travel to it: Packing stress. Usually I end up checking the weather and key pieces of the season, but the weather can be so unpredictable, and key pieces so pricy! So once I arrive, for example in Paris, I end up buying things out of necessity, and often too many. This time though, I got a little help from a very nice shoe fairy…

Nowadays I like to work with my favorite brands and borrow the pieces I love, to combine with pieces from my own wardrobe. This is obviously not something that just started over night. This took time. Four years to be precise.

Having built those relationships allows me to work with them more closely, create amazing content together, and even possibly have me borrow pieces for events and shows. The best part is that I can wear the most desirable pieces I’ve ever dreamed of. It’s one of the perks of the business I’m building, but what does this mean to you, and where am I going with this story? Not far, just staying close to a great brand I got to know when I moved to New York. A brand that has been a great provider for some of the nicest shoes in my wardrobe. This Fashion Month I’ve teamed up with them and showed a few of my favorite pairs throughout my stay in Paris…

Apart from the shoes I already had in my wardrobe, ALDO helped me get through Fashion Month without any more shoe stress. Most likely you’ve seen my ALDO favorites on Instagram during Paris Fashion Week, but I wanted to shine some extra light on the boots I’m wearing in this post. It’s not only the detail on the heel that caught my eye – extravagant heels are what we’re seeing a lot of this Fall – but also the super feminine silhouette of the boot itself. Something I’m not really used to wearing, but they work amazingly well with this beautiful bolo dress. They’ve made the dress more transitional rather than summer-floral. What do you think?
