Fact: in the Swingin’ 60s, if you looked up “Mod” in the Twigtiontionary, you would simply find a picture of Twiggy herself. A supermodel before it was a word, the woman made a splash in the London fashion scene seemingly from the moment she cut off all her hair. With her big doe eyes, accented even more so with heavy mod makeup, and willowy stature, Lesley Hornby was destined for greatness, and a nickname that would stick!
So as I was looking through pictures of her today (oh, and you don’t?!) I came across this picture of the icon and boy did her footwear look familiar!
Oh yeah, it’s because we have some Clarks sneakers in stock that are there modern day twin! Don’t you think? It just goes to shoe how cyclical fashion is; what goes around comes around, folks. I mean, just check it out up there!

They say in retail, like in parenting, you’re not supposed to pick favorites. But when my little bundle of joy arrived today, who was I to resist their charms? These little babies, names “5686” by Giraudon, are as close to my perfect shoes as I could imagine:*
Special, without feeling like you couldn’t wear them every day (and knowing Giraudons, you can most certainly wear them all day), versatile (I can just as easily picture them at work, or with a great vintage dress, or with some skinny jeans and a men’s shirt, or with my cuffed trousers and a blazer… Ok, I’ll stop.), and- as if you needed any other reasons- the two-strap pumps are very much on-trend right now. Designers like Primark and Miu Miu have their collections stocked this Fall with double strap Mary Janes. Also, the heel is gorgeous. Also, they will be mine. Also, I’m taking donations. Also, I learned how to make .gifs (see above!)
Until next time, dear readers, stay stylish. Hope to see you around the shop!
xoxo,
Sally
*Diclaimer: I imagine lots of perfect shoes, almost constantly.
UPDATE: Ok, fine, you twisted my arm about it! Here’s what I would wear on my first outing in my Dream Giraudons. I’m thinking maybe to an art gallery and a fancy dinner? What do you think?
copycats…
…just kidding! But as I was (and constantly am) scouring my new favorite street style blog trendycrew, I was overcome with a sense of deja vu. But, you know, the good kind. And that’s because so many of the ladies on this particular blog had on some gorgeous shoes (drr) that reminded me of some styles we have here at pedX! How lucky we are to have access to such stylish shoes.
Take a look at the inspiration:
