• Carine Roitfeld is still on her grind. This time, the fomer Vogue Paris editor lent her styling services to dress everyday men for Vman‘s spring fashion issue.
Set to hit newsstands February 15, the still working Ms. Roitfeld rallied a group of everyday men (architects, mechanics) and a few famous faces whom she styled for the upcoming issue. (WWD)
• Shoe company Crocs is about to pass the $1 billion in yearly revenue mark for the first time, proving that humanity will tolerate an eyesore of a shoe, as long as it’s comfortable. Fess up: do you own a pair (or more) of Crocs and how many? (WWD)
• It turns out the strapless navy pencil dress with a plume of pleated tulle on the right bosom from Taylor Tomasi Hill‘s Lane Crawford capsule looks a lot like a piece from a 2008 Marc by Marc Jacobs collection. (ELLE)
the culprit
• Christian Louboutin thinks your stilettos are giving you orgasms, but in reality, those sky high-heels are actually giving you flat feet. Scientists say that heels are possibly the reason why so many women are afflicted with the condition. But if you’re flat-footed, don’t worry, there might be a cure on the way! (Daily Mail)
• Bass shoes and Rachel Antonoff come together for a second spring footwear collection that will make you wish this already mild winter wasn’t so cold. Polka-dotted wingtip oxfords and flat sandals in neutral and snow cone pastels? Sundress weather can’t come soon enough! (Racked)

I have one pair of the sandal crocs bought for $5 at a end of the season Marshalls sale. Pink color. I LOVE them. I may even buy the black this year. I was so against them before until I wore them. They are great for running to the store and doing errands. The rubber also makes them ‘no-slip’ for rainy days.

I don’t own any crocs but I do own 7 pair of UGGS. *runs* The majority of this country are baby boomers so I can see why crocs are so popular.

January 12, 2012 10:53 pm
Crocs are the UGLIEST shoes I’ve seen in a long while. I don’t care how comfy they are, I mean seriously, Look. at. them.

I 2nd the Crocs should be worn only with scrubs!!

Crocs, there are so many people who are anti-fashion.
Real flat feet (pes planus) is a congenital abnormality and is rare. Generally, people often suffer from so-called functional flat feet with the foot and ankle rolls inward and the arch of the foot (the arch) while walking almost completely flat, due to overpronation. It seems if they have flat feet, but this is not the case.

I use to work for Crocs..you know it only cost 25 cent to make Crocs!!!
They’re making big bucks over there smh, and the women that made jibbits (the toy like buttons that fit inside of the shoe) she owns part of the company now.

We live in the country side and my mom uses some knocks off she bought at the dollar store for gardening. But NEVER out for real.
