For two months I am a number one fan of Saint Laurent AW13 collection by Hedi Slimane. I am in love to death with the California grunge inspired looks full of checks, leather and mini dresses. And these LA musician influenced boots are like the best thing in the collection. But why the #%^*@ are they so, so expensive? Hey, 5685€ is alright? No, not Hedi is mad Cathy Horyn, but the person that is dealing with commercial part for SL. These boots with the “DIY” decoration are beautiful, but not for 5000 and more euros. But, Slimane thought of more normal people and created the cheaper version of these boots for 1500€- without anything special. Just black, normal grunge boots. This is not same effect, but what shall I do? Still cool… 😋😋😋😋

These boots (with the “DIY” decoration) are my fave shoes of A/W 13-14 ! The “cheaper” version is cool but not as exciting, somehow you’ll probably wear them more often (and I’m pretty sure that all the “charms” must make some annoying noise when you walk !).
A good persepective! But still they are beautiful…
Idea for you: Get the regular ones, go to Michael’s Craft store and get some gear and glue. Make your own customs. Or mail them to me and I’ll spend some quality time on them and mail back to you. that would be fun for me to do. Don’t worry I wouldn’t keep them, I have my eye on another pair.
The new Emporio Armani High top Black Brogues with the two buckles. Was bummed when I saw them at $880-Was hoping for a $425 price tag. I guess its all relative. But I’m on a mission to get them. Gonna’ work extra hard at work this week to see If I can make a few extra $$’s.
Have a Great Week! http://www.streetzblog.com
