Indeed, this summer it was all about transparency and what better way to play the game than with plastic. It was all about the plexi Prada and Fendi shoes, the plastic Hermes totes and anything else plastic and transparent. I am not so sure how I feel about parading around with a transparent bag with all of its content on display for the world to see. However I am loving the plexi shoe trend, ad not just a bit. So here goes for a trend post full of transparency and plastic and many other details I have to share with you.
First up, are our beloved swedish girls you seem to have adopted the Prada plexi shoe immediately and have done so to perfection, I think I prefer the Prada shoe with the black strip to the white of silver one.

Christine does some pretty bloody amazing DIY when it comes to shoes, and these DIY Fendi plexi heels are no exception. So I urge if you don’t already know her to check out her blog.
I was so glad when I stumbled upon Arielle’s blog, Something Navy as I soon discovered these little beauties on her feet from none other than ALdo. Which I immediately ordered and got a friend to bring them back from the UK for me. Shock horror when I soon discovered that the left foot was a EU size 37 and the right a size 38, not good Aldo. Those of you who follow me on Twitter might remember the saga, anyway the second (and hopefully in the right sizes, both feet please) pair is on its way to me this weekend. Anyway if anyone has one foot smaller than the other ie the left, and normally wears a 3! let me know and i can sell you these puppies if you are interested.

My current plexi shoe craving from Aldo (the ones that are on their way hopefully in the right size) and from Queens wardrobe. Will you, or are you already doing the transparent and plexi trend?

Loving all the plastic shoes, uber fab x
It’s nice to see some ultra feminin styles with all the chunky boots that have been around
xx
Great shoes!
Indeed! glad you like the selection

very cool selection of photos. i loved the prada chandelier shoes.. even though quite impractical. they were pretty cool. xx
They are stunning but indeed way too impractical maybe just practical enough to “hop” from one fashion show to another and that is about it
xx
Lovely selection!
Thanks and thanks for stopping by

Lovely trend! When I was a kid, in the eighties, plastic sandals where H U G E. I really really wanted a pair of them, but my mom kept telling me that all that plastic couldn’t be good for my skin in the hot days of Mexican summer.
When I knew about this trend for the first time, I had this flashback. Maybe I can finally get the shoes! Aldo could definetly be my saviour!!
Great blog darling!

Oh my god…I wasn’t sure about plexi but then decided to check out the Aldo ones and just bought the nude coloured ones. Oh you are good, Toni, I never ever buy shoes online and somehow you convinced me without even trying!!
