Crimes of Fashion:
Gienchi Studded Leopard Print Sneakers

Gienchi Silk Studded Leopard Print Sneakers $400.00 luisaviaroma.com


Seeing these sneakers was a 'WTH' moment for me. Personally, leopard print on itself is fine, but to embellish can just be to much! Don't get me wrong, I love me some metal in my fashion, in this case though to garish. And yes, the above photos shows brand new sneakers, the worn or should I say dirtied look comes with the $400 price tag. Overall, these sneakers are not a smart investment.

Timberland Earthkeepers 'Rudston' Pull-On Boots $119.00 Sale zappos.com


I have to be honest, women's shoes is the last thing that comes to mind when I hear Timberland. Men's Timberland boots are actually nicely made and it is not surprising to apply the workmanship on their women's line. Taking the eco-conscious initiative, Timberland has a collection of footwear that contains durable, high-quality footwear made in an environmentally-friendly way aptly named Earthkeepers.

The 'Rudston' boot has waterproof construction with waterproof leather upper made from a tannery rated Silver for improved energy and waste management and features recycled PET mesh lining offers breathability to keep your legs and feet fresh. Consider this eco-stylish boot on your next shoe shopping. Not only it will serve it's purpose during the cold season but you are also helping our precious environment.

The collection also offers a couple of handbags and accessories to compliment any look. I personally love 'The Ghost' wedge (shown above) it's simple yet stylish. Just in time for fall. I love the mood of Elson's collection, there's a certain warmth and decadence in each piece.

Smart EcoStyle of the Week:
Stella McCartney Platform Sandals

Stella McCartney Platform Sandals $225.00 SALE YOOX

Stella McCartney is very dedicated to cruelty-free fashion. She could've easily added an eco-friendly line just to jump in the 'green' bandwagon like some designers. But rather she banned the use of genuine leather from her collections! Alternative materials like plastic, nylon and cork are mostly used in the production of her clothes and accessories.

And as you can see with this platform sandals, you can still have chic, stylish sustainable pieces without the use of materials that can be harmful to the environment. I like the clean, simple yet sophisticated design. Very wearable, from jeans to dresses.

Crimes of Fashion:
DSQUARED Laced Ice Skate Boots

DSQUARED Laced Ice Skate Boots $1,825.00 luisaviaroma


I'm big fan of DSQUARED, Dean and Dan are innovators and one of fashion's top design duo. But sometimes, like in this case they get carried away. I mean seriously? Trust me, I was on the fence with these Ice Skate Boots. I like the concept and all but at the end of the day they are just to out there for my taste. And the real reason why I picked them as this week's fashion crime is practicality. Yes, they are statement worthy but you can buy at least three pairs of Louboutins for the price. For me they are a 'one-hit wonder', wear them once, fab! Wear them a second time around... tired.

Christian Louboutin 'Mago' Suede Platform Court Shoes $825.00 Browns


If you are planning on buying your first pair of Louboutin shoes or perhaps adding another to your collection, I suggest that you consider these 'Mago' pumps by the one and only master cobbler, Christian Louboutin. I absolutely adore them! The texture, bold color, mirrored toe cap and timeless design are perfection and totally wearable. Pair them with your favorite jeans or dress to add some oomph to your look. Trust me, this is an investment that would yield a high return season after season.
