cyborg platform

by Karen Blanchard
29 September 2010
Shirt: Housing Works Thrift Shop. Leggings: American Apparel. Boots: Solestruck <----they were sooo friendly and helpful. Fedora: Trash & Vaudeville. Bag: LF. Army jacket: Zara ----> remember me in it (here)?
They came at long last! The bloody big ass monster 2-inch platform boots came at laaaast.
I’ve been on a serious kick (excuse the pun) for big stomping boots and these are definitely one of them. Erin Wasson wore these recently here with a net dress and I LOVE teaming dresses long or short with boots and these are a great clash.
Anyone not scared of double takes (it will happen from both sexes) then get them from Solestruck here.
Wish you were a little bit taller?
***
ps. Still no word from the winner of the H&M leopard dress giveaway posted (here). If I hear nothing from them by tomorrow afternoon, I’m picking another winner from my Google Reader so join up if you haven’t yet. Time to roll the dice again.

    i remember seeing these on solestruck a while ago and being so distraught because i never came across size 6’s. it sucks having really small feet and being really short at the same time! i would have loved to feel tall for once, but maybe they’ll restock soon.

    i really love the shirt combo you wore them with!

    you look awesome! great daily uniform.

    i have the gee wawas and love them!

  12. Louise says:

    I feel like an evil person for hoping the winner doesn’t respond and my number magically comes up mwahaha. It would be so awesome as my mum is always going on about the evils of leopard print and I think a full maxi of it might actually knock her speechless for all of five seconds!

    More to the point, those boots are AMAZING. I am sooo, sooo tempted to order myself a pair, they would be perfect with all my floaty summer dresses. You look amazing as usual 🙂 I love the bag too, especially the strap.

  13. ediot says:

    hope you roll the dice again 😉

  16. Camilla says:

    gorgeous. some shoes just make an outfit that much

  17. beeta.b says:

    i am LOVING the prints you wear, from the h&m dress to the shirt in this post. i wish i lived near an h&m, otherwise i would have hunted it down. oh the pitfalls of moving to a new and unfamiliar city with no h&m or zara (but great vintage shops)

    its kind of nerve racking checking your blog every day for a response (but at least you have a fun blog to look at lol).

  19. behindblueeyes says:
