foulard de soie's stylebook: Make It Work: #44 Tom's Shoes

about

I just love it all, from Schiaparelli and Charles James to Paul Smith and Vivienne Westwood via Yves St Laurent; from Renee Breton to Agyness Deyne; Cecil Beaton, Sieff and Avedon to Helmut Newton and David Bailey, Ferragamo to Louboutin...

Some of my favourite things: my ever growing vintage collection, (and especially finding good vintage in charity shops!), cashmere cardigans, blunt cut bobs, strict tailoring, leather gloves, Fred Astaire, asymmetry, cocktail rings, The Sartorialist, vintage Lucite handbags, English eccentricity, modern art, Klimt colours, amber jewellery, silk scarves, Japanese style, Lee Miller, books and libraries, old b&w movies, Erte, William Morris, androgeny, 20's and 30's glamour, ballet pumps, modern architecture, Rene Gruau, red lipstick and grown up perfume, crisp white shirts, Otis Redding, art deco, Cole Porter, tango shoes, the Jazz Age, Josephine Baker, Hollywood glamour and glitz, minimalism...

(My job, trees, and my family - obviously!)

	Yes, I'd buy them. Ideal for relaxing around the house or in the garden with a good book! And such a great cause too. For each pair bought a child that needs some receives a pair? Fantastic! I'm off to see if they are available in England... (They are - £35! Check out the spotty pair...!) Photo courtesy of the Tom's website.

	ashley303 Thu, Jul 23	Comfortable, colorful, perfect.
	Prickly Pear Thu, Jul 23	Great casual look. I love the "boyfriend jeans" with the comfy pullover. I'd never heard of Tom's shoes. I love 'em! I also love that sweet picture; I just wanna pick up that adorable little guy and swing him around. Love the straw bag, too!
	exitplanetdust Fri, Jul 24	very relaxed, this is an excellent weekend outfit

	ashley303 Thu, Jul 23	Just the right amount of eccentric....those shoes are amazing!
	Prickly Pear Thu, Jul 23	Eccentric, my butt! This is fashion perfection, and if I saw you walking down the street dressed in the pieces you've chosen here, I'd probably trip and fall from gawking. You're like a heat-seeking missile, when it comes to ferreting out pieces to create your high-style vintage looks!
	Deanamichelle Fri, Jul 24	Those shoes are yummy

	"All happy families resemble one another, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." What a classic! What a heroine - tragic, passionate, born in the wrong century maybe? This is my interpretation... (The photo is of Sophie Marceau in the 1997 film version.)

omg...omg...this is gonna be long one. *You* are my hero! Omg! Ok. 1) Sophie Marceau in "Anna Karenina" (swoon), 2) a perfect ensemble styled with the eye of a museum curator. 3) I loved the book, 4) I LOVED the adaptation with Ms. Marceau and 5) I love your interpretation, and I'm in freakin' awe. I sorry, but first I see the big picture, and then I work my way down to the details, which in this case, take my breath away. That twilight-blue beret, the perfume, and especially, the boots are simple inspired! Sigh...

	Prickly Pear Thu, Jul 23	This is so Audrey, and that's a very good thing. I adore that bag, the shoes - simple, yet...again, so Audrey. The dress, earrings, and brooch complete yet another vintage masterpiece. You know Madame, I'm learning from you :)
