서울에서 사는 건 조아하지만 뉴욕을 많이 그리워해요. 그래서 거기서 사는 친구와 친척들이 많아서 다행이에요. 우리 친언니는 맨날 아직도 패션 소식을 해주는데 서울처럼 플랫슈즈가 아주 인기 좋대요. 근데 우리는 그런 스타일을 너무 싫어하고 우리같은 여자들은 stilletto를 너무 사랑하는 거예요. 물론 모든 사람은 나름대로 자기 좋아하ㅡㄴㄴ 스타일있겠지만 우리한테는 두가지 슈즈 종류있다고 생각해요: hot아니면 not. 좋아한다면=’핫.’ 싫다는 의미는=’낫.’ ^^

Hot
HOT
Gold
NOT HOT

I really enjoy living in Seoul, but I miss living in New York City and I think about it every day. Luckily, I still have family and friends who live there to give me updates. My sister tells me that flats, in all different colors, with huge embellishments on the toe, are all the rage. She hates them and so do I, but then again we’re the type of girls who prefer stilettos over flats. Everyone has their own opinion and style, of course, but in our world, shoes go into one of two categories, HOT or NOT HOT.

I could have called this post “From Tiger to Kitten Heel in Seconds” but I didn’t. Anyway, from Naver News:

1 만에 8cm 넘는 하이힐을 3cm 높이의 평범한 신발로 조정할 있는높이 조절 하이힐 인기를 끌고 있다고 20 미국 WCBS TV 보도했다.

언론 보도에 따르면, 켤레의 신발로 패션과 편안함을 동시에 누릴 있는 신개념 하이힐을 개발한 회사는 미국 필라델피아에 위치한 카밀레온힐스.

What’s that, you say? Adjustable high heels? Naver News talks about the Philadelphia local news coverage of this ingenious idea, but it’s even better when you see the video at CamileonHeels.com:

Naver! 여기는 인터넷이거든요? 그래서 유튜브비디오가 나와있으면 스크린캡펴만 하지말고 비디오자체를 보여주시죠? 오케이? 유갓잇? ㅋㅋ

에에이. Naver씨 – 농담이잖아요, 농담. 에이, 왜 그렇세요? 장난인지…알지…오? 헤헤.

Following fashion trends can sometimes make you feel so superficial, self-absorbed, and decadent, so it’s refreshing to find people who are using fashion and shopping to do something good for the world. Soles4Souls has a great mission, “To impact as many lives as possible with the gift of shoes.” They have given millions of pairs of shoes to people all over the world and now they have started a very cool auction with the help some awesome celebrities.

Lucy Lui’s signed shoes.

From Gap Inc.:

If you’ve ever wanted to know what it’s like to walk a mile in a celebrity’s shoes, now’s your chance. Piperlime, a fresh online shoe shop from Gap Inc. (NYSE: GPS), today announced that it will host an online celebrity shoe auction to benefit its exclusive charitable partner, Soles4Souls.

Piperlime worked with dozens of Hollywood’s hottest celebrities to autograph and donate their fabulous footwear for the auction, which can be accessed online at www.piperlime.com. Bidding begins Thursday, May 3 and concludes on Monday, May 14.

The auction features new and gently-used shoes donated by nearly 30 influential celebrities and athletes, including Lucy Liu, Jessica Simpson, Mischa Barton, Rosario Dawson, Mandy Moore, Alonzo Mourning, Haylie Duff, Joely Fisher, Wayne Gretzky, Mariska Hargitay, Teri Hatcher, Eric Mabius, Vanessa Minnillo, Parker Posey, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Sharon Stone and Rachel Zoe.

Wow! What a great idea and a wonderful organization. While it might not be possible to buy a pair of Lucy Liu’s shoes, there are a lot of other ways to help and do some good. Organize a shoe drive! Donate your shoes! Service is sexy!

A Quick Glance at Russia…

May 5, 2007 Author: SpaceGirl | Filed under: International, Trends

I can feel that it’s almost Summer in Korea…but still can see snow in Russia..
Therefore, it’s not that hard to see BOOTs in the street…
Of course, from the show window in downtown, I can feel that Russian girls are also eager for SUMMER…
소식을 듣기도 했지만, 여기 글들만 봐도 한국엔 벌써 여름이 온것 같군요.
!!! 러시아에는 아직도 눈발이 날립니다..–a
그래서인지 아직은 거리에서 부츠를 보는것이 그리 어색하진 않네요.
물론 번화한 시내 곳곳의 쇼윈도들은 여름을 애타게 기다리고 있지만 말이죠

I envy Russian girls…cause so many russian girls have genetic advantage with LONG LEGs…
That long legs in boots are really sexy as you see in that picture…
sometimes….russian girls also can disappoint us with that high heels under training suit…
However, really fashionable russian girl in boots, seems to be blessed with genetic advantage throughly.
I think that she could be an author of FMS…with that camera…^^
솔찍히 러시아 아가씨들 부럽슴다.
무엇이 부러운것인가유전적으로 다리를 타고난것에..아주…–a
한국에서도 물론 매번 쇼핑할때면 짧은 다리 원망스러웠지만
러시아에서 나고 자랐는데, 그랬다면정말 더더욱이나 원망스러웠을껩니다.
길을 나다니는 대부분의 여성들이 다들~ 기일~다란 다리에 작은 머릴 가졌으니까요.
남자라면 노숙을 해도 지나가는 여자들을 보면서 6개월은 버틸수 있다는 인정!
그러나 가끔츄리닝 신은 하히힐유전적인 축복을 내동댕이 쳐버린것 같은
하지만~ 패셔너블한 부츠와 멋진 스타일카메라까지 들은 러시아 아가씨~
FMS 초청해서 posting 부탁해도 될듯 합니다..그져?

What is FASHION?

"패션은 옷과 함께 하는 것만은 아니에요...하늘에도, 길에도 패션은 있고, 패션은 우리의 생각과 삶의 방식, 주변에서 일어나는 일들과도 함께해야만 해요."

"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening."

--- Coco Chanel (1883–1971)

What is STYLE?

"패션은 희미해지지만 스타일은 영원하다."

"Fashions fade, style is eternal.”

--- Yves Saint Laurent (b. 1936)






What is SEXY?

"있잖아..다리가 아름다운건 아니야...단지 그걸 어떻게 해야 하는지를 아는거야."

"Darling, the legs aren't so beautiful, I just know what to do with them."

--- Marlene Dietrich (1901–1992)











What is TALENT?

"내가 연기할 수 없을 때, 난 연기를 해야 했고, 노래할 수 없을 때, 난 '익살스런 얼굴'을 노래해야 했다. 또, 난 Fred Astaire와 함께 춤을 춰야 했었는데, 그때는 춤을 출 수 있는 상황이 아니었다. 그러니까 내가 준비되지 않았을 때 난 이 모든것을 해야 했던 것이다. 그때 난 정말 미친듯이 이 난국을 타개하기 위해 노력했다."

"I was asked to act when I couldn't act. I was asked to sing 'Funny Face' when I couldn't sing, and dance with Fred Astaire when I couldn't dance - and do all kinds of things I wasn't prepared for. Then I tried like mad to cope with it.”

---Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993)
