Alexa Chung graces the (subscribers) cover of the October issue of ELLE UK shot by Karen Collins. Alexa is wearing my favorite look from the Chanel Resort 2009 collection and I absolutely LOVE it on her. I just wish they would’ve let her wear the chequered shoes that were originally worn with the outfit, but the creatives of ELLE UK probably found them too busy and too distracting for this simple chic editorial.

Here’s a little excerpt from the ELLE interview:

Alexa on Karl Lagerfeld: “I interviewed him, he said. ‘Oh all these people stink’ and then, ‘Not you, I like you, but no-one else.’ I thought, ‘YES! Karl Lagerfeld likes me!”

This is the outfit from the Chanel Resort 2009 collection as it appeared on the runway worn by the infamous Irina Lazareanu.

So this case of “designer inspiration” is quite interesting. It’s not your typical case of copycatting a la Steve Madden being once again “inspired” by famous designer shoes. This time it’s designer vs. designer. Miu Miu vs. Cesare Paciotti to be exact. Case of subject: the sculpted heel pumps I have first seen in the Miu Miu ad campaign with French singer Vanessa Paradis.

The colors may differ, but the shoe’s trademark - the sculpted heel and the platform are too similar to call it coincidence. So what do you think, who’s been the copycat here?

Yes, I admit: I AM ADDICTED TO SHOES! But who wouldn’t be smitten by the look of these OH-MY-GOD-TOO-GORGEOUS Alexander McQueen Union Jack Ankle Booties? They are everything - bold, beautiful and full of detail.

Alexander McQueen deserves an award for this lovely piece of iconic footwear. The only thing that draws me back from purchasing a pair for my own pleasure is the hefty price tag of $1.260. But I can wait until they go on sale.

So I am all shoes lately and have found me being totally obsessed with these gorgeous Brian Atwood purple satin sandals. Loving every single inch of that shoe, especially the vibrant color and the heel. Total perfection, isn’t it? I need to get another $640 out of my credit card, I simply have to.

Oh, Solange, you are trying so hard to get out of your sister’s shadow. Even if it includes wearing hideous footwear à la sasquatch to mess up an otherwise decent outfit, homegirl is down for the attention. Get a stylist (not your Mom!). Like seriously.
