NEW IN | Plastic heel

I wasn't planning on buying something in the city, but then I found these H&M transparent plastic heels for 50euros (and it was Valentines gift too myself :P ). I've wanted nice shoes with a transparent plastic heel for a long time. Ever since the designer collab of H&M with 'Maison Martin Margiela' in 2012. Unfortunately those ones were too expensive for me, I'm just a student after all. So this H&M ones are perfect replacement for it. The heel is a bit too high though, since it doesn't have a little platform in the front but it's something I can work with. Can't wait to wear them!

What do you think of these shoes?

NEW IN | the long journey in finding the perfect zipper-in-front boots

I've been obsessed by shoes with a zipper in front ever since I saw a pair at a vintage store in Antwerp a year ago. I regretted not buying it so much, that it kinda became a mission in life to find one. I've encountered a few in the last year, but I never felt 'right' with it. I think the first pair that really peaked my interest the same as the ones at that particular vintage store a year ago, are the ones from Monki the summer collection 2014. At that time, I was a bit unsure because of the price ( I was probably broke), so I thought I waited it out till the sale.. And of course it flew off the shelves quite quickly so it didn't even make it to the sales or me able to buy it. And there's a similar one currently available at Forever21, here, which I've bought online and decided to return it because I didn't like the chunkiness of it and the material was not something I was looking for.

This one tho.. I couldn't resist. I didn't even know Zara was selling them (I usually look at their lookbook) until I was visiting the shop in Amsterdam. It was something I knew I had to buy even though it cost more than I was willing to spend but I had the money and the shoes were there.. I couldn't resist. I bought a size smaller than I usually wear and it fits perfectly.

Personal | Are there 'Dancers among us'?

Photography by Jordan Matter 

Since I'm doing my minor in Retail Design, I get to research a lot for inspiration for my shoe store which will be specialised in dancing shoes. I found this awesome shots by Jordan Matter which is from a book 'Dancers among us'. I've always liked photos with people dancing and Jordan really took it to the next level. I love the high jumps in random situations, which really makes me think why do dancers not do it? As for my project, I'm currently a little stuck on my designs which means long nights, a lot of headaches and caffeine.

Anyway, I have a huge favor to ask to people who likes to dance regularly.. I need to ask dancers a few questions for the research.This will take about 5 minutes of your time and I will very much appreciate it if you do! The questions are multiple choice and some are rating-questions. If you know more people who would like to fill it in, feel free to pass them the survey! Thanks in advance! 

Here's the link to the survey!
