Fall Shoes by Alexander McQueen 2012

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Alexander McQueen</b></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Fall/Winter Shoe Collection 2012-13</b></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Whoever said that shoes had to be practical and actually wearable, obviously did not see the supermodels strutting down Alexander McQueen's Fall 2012 runway in <i>those</i> outlandish heels. Or should I say - no heels? Some of the unconventional pairs on show had no heels at all, but instead featured a curved metal 'horse shoe' sole. One would need to take a class to walk in them, I presume.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We can't deny the creative brilliance and virtuosity that Sarah Burton has harnessed when constructing these phantasmic pieces of shoe art. Ostrich feathers, shaggy fur, ruffles and rosettes, leather and suede all play a role in making this shoe collection one that surpasses anything we have ever seen before. In this fashion realm at least. </span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Fall/Winter 2012 shoe collection has been toned down from the ostentatious looks displayed on the runway, to a more - dare I say it 'sensible' range. The uber sexy sky-scraping ankle boots and nude shaded sandals will harmoniously fit in with a voguish winter wardrobe. However the sharply sculpted, frilled and fur-covered pairs may only find its place in the closets of the Lady Gaga's and Rihanna's of the world. Whatever your fancy, this collection does makes for captivating viewing.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip0QOJNKxxky11ViUQb4XdWxLTmHHdUBLvgJIyoA9u4xa7UnBW4i4DDg8K6SaR0YPCOGzoVD8ZIQ7jkbvFc5tgFuc8GTy9X-biZbK5mV6RIiduTcH8sQy5EiQ-OMQaw33LNyZnCJ92lfZW/s1600/mcqueen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left;

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The neon trend has finally found its way to the Southern Hemisphere, and we can expect some blazing hot and incandescent looks ahead. From designers to celebrities, bloggers to street style icons, the fluoro frenzy has taken the fashion world by storm. While it's not really ideal to wear blinding orange or glaring green from head to toe (unless you want to be fined by the fashion police for disturbing the visual peace), you can add neon to your wardrobe in small doses. These are some of my favourite fluorescent finds.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>Green</b></span><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;
