Down the Rabbit Hole










When I first started researching around for my Chanel alike clogs by Campbell, I came across the Jessica Simspon Dany platform. I fell in love at 3rd glance being reminded of Charles Anastase RTW Spring 2009. Of course, by the time I caved and decided to purchase, all were sold out in my size in black and beige. I called stores and finally found out that that the Macy's in New York had some in beige. Thanks to Karen,who paid a visit, they came in the mail yesterday. We decided to blog about them on the same day, worn different ways. We seem to have the same taste in shoes... we could very well be sole sisters.

I feel like the Queen of Hearts.

Target sweater (under), Vintage Irish Wool sweater coat, Gap Blueberry V-Neck, Cheap Monday skinny Jeans, Topshop heart socks, Jessica Simpson Dany platforms.

Sally Hansen Nails in Emerald City and Covergirl lipstain in Wild Berry Wink




"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?" - Alice in Wonderland

These are amazing photos, girl! I knew the JS's were TALL but I didn't think they were THAT tall, they look great.

jessica whitley said...

the clogs are amazing, soo much more so with the socks.

idk just looks like a lotta pain :P

Fashion Chalet said...

Thanks, Guys!! This has to have been the most fun shoot I've done for the blog YET! :)


@ Christing - You're the sweetest and I always love your style. Thanks for the Alexa comment/compliment *wow* Super comfy, to answer your question + SO EASY to walk in, I was surprised! ;)


@ Tiffany* - Thanks, doll. I have to ask my husband he's the mastermind behind all my photos, I leave the setup to him. ;)


@ Malu - So sweet, thank you. It takes a lot of work to maintain though ($$ hair care) but I can't say good-bye to it yet... ack. :)


@ Anonymous/Breena - I love when readers pop out to say "hello" thanks, it means a lot. Glad you liked the post! ♥


@ The Fashion Cloud - You're adorable. Please do visit me if you are ever in the States! = coffee, gossip & shopping! ;)


@ Anna G - Trust me, very tall and don't climb stairs in them, but surprisingly easy to walk in and superrrrrr comfortable, too. ;) thank you!!


@ Alina - Thank you, I'm becoming a big fan of red lips this year. :)

Yes, in love with those shoes! I ordered them from VS last week and yeah I'll have to wait til June for them! Do yours fit true to size? I'm a 8.5 and I have Jessica Simpson shoes and they are true to size, but I ordered a 9 since it only comes in whole sizes. I'm hoping they fit! Hope you can make my slumber party! xo, Mel

stylewithbenefits said...

Looooves it! I know these are backordered til June on VS, and I went as far as emailing the Jessica Simpson site to ask if they'll be re-stocked on their site before June and they said no (in my size). Question, do they fit true to size? I'm an 8.5 so I'm not sure if I should go with an 8 or 9.

You look so great.

Thanks lovely!

I know what you mean Erika. I love MY So-Called Life. The Halloween one is so good. My favorite is when Angela finds out that Jordan can't read and the Substitute one too. AGREED Rayanne dresses better than Angela but I love her red hair. I can't get over how amazingly long and gorgeous your hair is! AWESOME AS ALWAYS. Each photoshoot gets all the better and more magical. :)

This is such a cute outfit. Love how you mix and match things. The only thing that really bother me though is your hair. Sorry, but it looks terrible. It's very..unstylish. It would be much better shorter or at least in layers.

Papillon Vintage said...

God, I want your hair! It's fabulous and the socks are the perfect touch to go with those shoes.

Tessie said...

Your hair is like spun silk. Shoes are a little tall for me, but look great on you. Vintage Irish wool coat is such a lucky find it's in the perfect slouchy but not too slouchy size for you too. Socks add the final frosting.

PS wear purple more!

The Queen of Hearts said...

MY <3 stopped beating for a FULL 30 SECONDS because I thought when you said, "I feel like the Queen of Hearts" that you meant ME but then I clicked on the link and realized that wasn't the case, lol. I, too, am in sole-envy of those shoes. I'll have to try them on when I'm in the city this weekend. I'm not at leggy as you or Karen and I don't want to have the Frankenstein effect.

The Queen of Hearts said...

Clarification: I didn't mean that you guys look like Frankenstein but rather ME being a shorter girl, with no neck and long-ish limbs WOULD look like a Frankenstein if I didn't select the correct platform for my build. <3 You know I love you girl!

Jade said...

I saw those shoes on Rumi from fashiontoast and fell in love. they are gorgeous! I want them-- and you look stunning in them. :)

ShoeLover67 said...
