TIME TO START GETTING CHRISTMASSY//cause its december 1st
Our house is all decked out for Christmas, you guys, can you tell we take Christmas pretty seriousely in our house?!! Gifts are already being wrapped and my sister is baking our special Christmas cookie recipe right now. Even Townsend and Shelley are feeling the Christmas spirit.
All the Christmas spirit has me kinda thinking about these Pradas from Spring 08...
I'm not crazy about the shoe itself, but the color combo is to die for. Red and green are a great color combination all year round. I would totally be wearing these all month long if they were mine.
Mmkay, my email inbox is totally insane right now, people are asking me a ton of questions about a ton of different things and I honestly don't have time to get to them all! So, inspired by Camille, I will be doing a Question and Answer post.
Before a ton of people ask the same question, here are some of the most common questions I am asked.
1) Where do I find the Ann Demeulemeester boots? Do they run true to size?
I would suggest getting in contact with the sales department at Ann Demeulemeester via email (see the Ann D website) and yes, they do run true to size.
2) Where do you shop on eBay? How do I find good vintage online?
Please see the eBay post. It's all about using the right search terms, believe me! Oh, and finding your favorite vintage designers (and I don't mean YSL and Chanel, those tend to get snapped up quickly and go for mega $$$$, find obscure vintage designers by running searches on vintage dresses or based on the label of a great thrift store find. For instance, my mom picked up a Flora Kung dress at a thrift store and then ran an eBay search on Flora Kung, and pulled up two more dresses that she loved and got them for under $30)
3) What program do you use to make your graphics?
I use Corel Paint Shop Pro X2 for everything on Sea of Shoes.
Oh and some people have the notion that I'm eighteen years old....I'm not (even though it says 18 on my Facebook, haha), I am sixteen years old. but not for much longer!! My birthday is two days before Christmas ;-P
Feel free to ask questions about sizing, where to find stuff, whatever. I'll be happy to answer as many as I can in an upcoming post.
Hey :) you know I discovered your blog thanks to a french magazine (Glamour) and I think it is really awesome, especially your incredible shoes' collection.
Wish you good luck for everything.
Bye =)
Hi,
Absolutely LOVE your blog!
Question about shopping on eBay, do you and your mom ever worry about getting a fake? What are some things to watch out for, or you guys just really good at knowing what the real deallooks like? And how do you know something will fit once you've found something you love?
Thanks!

All your Christmas decorations look lovely! I have two questions - what are your hobbies/interests outside of fashion? And as someone else asked, I'm curious to know how tall you are as well.

Luffly Christmas decorations too! I'm currently trying to turn my house into one huge Christmas grotto ... and nearly blew our electricity current with an overload of fairy lights lol

if you have any posts about this, i can't remember.
but do you design/sew/reconstruct any of your own clothing?
i want to know more about the designing process, i'd love to really get inside a designer brain and find out how they think...
First of all, you and your mom rock my (designer) socks : ) I admire and identify with your passion for fashion, art, and design. Good taste is innate, it cannot be taught, and you ladies most definitely have that gift.
As for my ?'s:
It's been asked and I'm aware that it's somewhat personal, but what do your parents do for a living?
I know your mom used to have her own line, and I gather she will be reissuing some pieces, yes? When? And where can we buy it?
What do you want to be when you grow up Jane?
Even people with admirable aesthetic need inspiration, where does yours most often come from?
Lastly, how old is your corgi? My boyfriend has bought me a corgi puppy for Christmas (from TX no less!). I love how they stay cute even when they're all growed up.
Thanks girl! Merry Christmas!
Hey.
My question is how tall are you?
Wow! I love the crystals handing above the table. Awesome.
Did you guys hire a decorator for your house? Also, there are some interesting looking items that look like they could have been DIY (blocks of wood flanking top & bottom of shelf, block of wood table harphazardly painted in white, etc.) Are these DIY or bought? If bought, where? If DIY, where did you get such cool raw material? Thanks!
what is your monthly clothes allowance?
where did you get that chandelier hanging above the (dining room?) table?
can you and judy please please each do a photoshoot of each of your clothes wardrobes and one of your shoe wardrobes?
I love your blog!
I was wondering what do you want to do when you're older, do you have an idea yet?
Can we see a picture of your room? Not to be awkward or anything =D but your house is decorated so beautifully that I would love to see how that and your style is translated in your room.
Who inspires you? Both in style and life.
What are you favorite magazines and books?
When did you develop your style / interest in fashion?
What are your favorite subjects at school?
Thanks!!!
i love you even more that you have a pembroke welsh corgi.
mine died :( but it makes me happy to see another!
Thanks for the great eBay tips! Your clothes are great. We also find great and relevent items on eBay as well. We would love to exchange links. www.choice-threads.com. Keep up the great work.
I was wondering if you had any favorite shoes from designers not featured on the major runway shows. Most of the shoes your feature are big name designers. Do you love any independent shoe designers? Or any vintage shoes? I've always wondered.
Beautiful home decor. Gives me a ton of ideas for mine!
1. Who do you consider to be your favorite clothing designer?
2. Who is your favorite shoe designer?
3. What is your most prized piece of clothing?
4. What's your favorite store to shop at?
i finally linked you hon! xx
Hi Jane! Your home looks lovely. Very classy and stylish, reminds me of my color theme last year. I've also done my decor for this year, went back to the classic red and gold after years trying to avoid it. Feels great, very Christmassy, reminds me of my parents house during Christmas... Haha. Anyway, I really love your dining room chairs. Looks really nice! I'm wondering who made them?
By the way, those shoes are awesome. I have just the perfect coat to go with it. Oh well, I just have to settle with what I have. Went on an early Christmas splurge for moi with the most fabulous Alaia pumps.
