Color Study - Orange

Ready for the next installment of the Color Study series?

Orange is pretty unrepresented in my closet. I cannot wear it in shirt form at all, although I really do like the color. And I only, obviously, have a few shoes that barely squeak in to the group.



Since there are only five (I don't think I've added any since I took these) it will be easy to break it down:

Top Row, left to right:

- Guiseppe Zanotti Cam Albiconna Nappa
- Hetty Rose Love Platforms
- JCrew Liz in Neon Orange

Bottom Row, left to right:

- Isaac Mizrahi Hannah Orange Flash
- Olivia Rose Tal Silvy II






The details are the best part:

I have a free weekend... maybe blues or greens next???

Color Study - Purples

I'm really spacing out these Color Study posts, aren't I!

I'm being totally lazy by doing some of the easier ones first. Black, red and brown will be excessive. But let's pretend we're going sort of in a spectrum of color.

Today is all about PURPLE! Admittedly there are not that many and I realized there is an overlap with one shoe. Not very organized of me.

Only 7 in this group.

Row 1:

- Melian Nichi - These were slingbacks but I cut off the back strap because it was too loose.

Row 2 - left to right:

- Christian Louboutin Prive 120 in Lilac suede

- Stuart Weitzman Bocaccio

- Manolo Blahnik Sedaraby

Row 3 - left to right:

- Ashley Dearborn Eurpides

- Luella heart heels

- Jessica Simpson Jada wedge slingback espadrilles

I love all the delicate shades but here are some of my favorite details.

More to go on Flickr!

Color Study - Neutrals

I just realized how long it's been since I last did a Color Study list. I need to pick up the pace here!

I have to admit, this has been the laziest weekend, so thank goodness I took these pics a while back! This grouping is made up of the "neutrals" - too dark for creme or off white and too light for brown. I think the neutral tones are so elegant. I just need to wear them more.





Row 1 - left to right:

- Jimmy Choo Sissy
- Manolo Blahnik Suley
- Bettye Muller Coast
- Nine West Newlook
- Christian Louboutin Very Prive in Cork



Row 2 - left to right:

- Christian Louboutin Very Prive in Nude Crepe & Black Lace
- Michael Kors Cairo
- Chanel Carousel Chas Ouvertes
- Miu Miu Naplak Patch Spectators
- Jimmy Choo Violin

Row 3 - left to right:

- Nine West Lecia

- Steve Madden Rettro

- Nine West Harmon

- Stuart Weitzman Bocaccio

- Christian Louboutin Clichy

I love the colors of these Miu Mius so much.

These are probably the highest non-platform pair of heels I own.

The best thing about these is the shimmery fabric.

All images enlarge and I'm adding more on Flickr. I was just thinking how summery these colors are but maybe I can pair them up with dark tights for winter to get more use out of them. Could be an interesting combo.

Hmmmm.....

Color Study - Hearts

The other day I was wearing the new Luella's and recieved the Minna Parikka's and realized... I have quite a few heart themed shoes!

I like the whimsy but is this getting ridiculous???

You'll see these in other groupings but I thought I take a break from the more literal Color Studies to pull all my "hearts" out of hiding.



From left to right:

- Viktor & Rolf for H&M
- ShoeMissy Dolly Dagger
- Vivienne Westwood Lady Dragon for Melissa
- Minna Parikka Belle
- Hetty Rose Love
- Luella Margar

You can't help but LOVE these shoes, especially the details...

I know I can't resist them so I just won't even try!

Color Study - Creams

When I started doing the Color Study for whites, I new I had a lot of neutral shoes to do as well and that they would be their own category, but as I was setting them all out there were quite a few pairs that didn't seem to fit in either group. To dark for whites but not really nude or neutrals.

So thus the cremes! Or cream. Or off-white. Whatever you prefer.

Not as big a group, only 15 here, but with a few lovely players.



I did get to take some nice shots though...

Okay, Row 1 - left to right:

- Isaac Mizrahi for Target Hannah in tan

- Martinez Valero Adam in stone linen

- Kate Spade Joan in a zebra-y pattern

- Paco Gil Oyat

- Naughty Monky Vishti in gold beaded

Row 2 - left to right:

- Nine West Eriley

- Via Spiga Branny

- Nicole Brundage Sinamon

- Alexandra Neel Coconut

- Ralph Lauren slingbacks

Row 3 - left to right:

I just love the details in the group...
