Madame Knickers

I thought I'd mix it up and make a fashion blog. Ha.. haha.. Ahem. Anyways, I was fashion blog surfing, and I just constantly feel like something is missing. I read, "I finally got my new Miu Miu shoes today.." While, Miu Miu is absolutely fabulous, it's really not doing any one any favors. I could crack open a Vogue or an Elle and see that exact pair, with reviews and pricing. I've spent the past four years of my life globe trotting, and there is just so much out there. Fashion is beyond the thousand dollar shoes, the stick thin models, and snobby critics. There are massive amounts of wonderful clothing pieces that won't make me lose my apartment and end up on the streets begging for change to get an Hermes bag. Now, don't get me wrong, I can admire a beautiful piece of clothing or a fantastic accessory as much as the next fashionista, but I want to focus more on the small finds. The thrift shop finds. The street vendor finds. The Wal-Mart finds. Yeah, I said it. Wal-Mart. I believe true lovers of fashion can see past the labels and the hype, and find glamor in every nook and cranny.
