Tabitha Simmons


I take time out of my everyday routine to read other blogs and find out what is going on in the world. Not all blogs I read are about fashion, some about healthy eating, exercise, music and of course celebrity gossip, but a few blogs that I know are well known within the fashion world are so well written and full of interesting and inspirational photos that I will always continue to go back. My main one is Garance Dore. I love her style of writing and her content is amazing. 


Which brings me to my post today, I was reading her blog last night and was introduced to Tabitha Simmons, the fashion director of Vogue (US). After reading Garance's blog post I decided to do some more research into Tabitha and her successes. Mainly my interest in Tabitha struck when I found out about her new hobby and passion - SHOES! Yes, Tabitha has now began her very own shoe line. The shoes are very elegant and bringing the past to present. Fashion never dies, as you have probably seen yourself that it will continue developing and reappearing, so ladies and gentlemen, keep your favorite clothing items for as long as you can, cause 10-40 years down the road they will be back in style and what is better then passing down your favorite clothes to your children or grandchildren, or even better keeping it for yourself! I can speak from experience in receiving my moms jewelry that she wore when she was my age and now I am the proud wearer of one of my dad's necklaces that my mom had purchased for him many many moons ago. I think its one of the best gifts a parent can give. So keep your special items! 


Tabitha, an England native, is known world wide as being one of the best stylists out there. Along with being the fashion director of Vogue (US), she also contributes to other magazines such as Dazed and Confused and AnOther Magazine. I am completely jealous that she has styled catwalk shows for Alexander McQueen - that's a dream come true!



Now, Tabitha Simmons is the proud designer behind her very own shoe line. Another dream come true! Her shoes are made from the finest materials and the price definitely reflects that.  As far as these couture suede, whipp snake and calf wedges (above), that I am obsessed with, you are looking to shell out $1,481.40. For the gorgeous pebblegrain, calf and suede OTK boots (below) you're looking at paying $2, 093.83. They are expensive but so worth it!

Dear Anonymous, unfortunately they aren't sold in Canada YET! They are sold in a few places in the States like Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus. I hope that helps. :)
