Comments on "On the Street......Purple Shoes, London"
Nice shoes, and Nice hair!
Great look, I especially love the accessories.
beautiful shoes!
wow, striking.
Fetching!
I love the shoes! :P
fantastic. This goes to show that you can really wear basic, neutral clothes and make them one's own with the right accessories. She has the knack. If the shoes had been red or blue....no. And her portfolio bag and turquoise watch are great counterpointsn to the shoes. Well, her great hair works as an accessory too. I find this inspiring because in the current economy it's good to be reminded of the power of the accessory.
Absolutely gorgeous.
Ah, fab! That coat! That bag (Moroccan leather, seventies print)!
The HAIR! And then these pops of color, the turquoise and the purple. It makes me all sappy.
I love looks like this one: dark outfit with a hint of a bright colour. She looks great, and the shoes are to die for...love them.
Wow nice purple shoes!! I love it!
Now that I absolutely adore!!!!!!!!!The shoes are superb and the hair is fierce.
Love the contrast between colours and materials. The shoes are from Topshop.
great hair
This is an amazingly androgynous look.
the shoes make the outfit! love it!
It seems the key to looking good with any wild accessory is to keep everything very simple. I don't think I could stay upright in those shoes for any length of time, but I think they look cool on her. Amazing!
Love those great shoes, so unexpected.
The bag and the shoes make it a very interesting look but i find the turquoise watchstrap distracting.
Fierce... Someone give this woman a light, already! Bella...!
Those shoes are the best - so 'statement'. I love London style, but I somehow feel that all styles from all cities are becoming indistinct. You couldn't look at any photo on this site and guess which city the photograph is taken in. Globalisation.
nice pop of color but somehow it doesn't fit with the rest of the outfit and the season.
Those purple shoes are completely gorgeous! I'm not sure if I like that blue bracelet though, reminds me of hospitals...
Love the bag, too.
those shoes are awesome. perfect color flair. i want those shoes something fierce. although i'm not sure i could walk in them. but still.
Wow! She's fabulous.
Kudos! I looked at her outfit and thought "grey, grey black..." and bang! purple shoes! Great combo, I like this! Her bag is very pretty, too! (I noticed it a little later, after I stopped staring at her shoes)
her shoes and her hair wow!
http://www.moneasywardrobe.com
I like alot!, tall, slender. the shoes makes the statement "look at me"...
Love the unexpected shot of purple!
LOVE it, top to toe! Her hair is fantastic.
Love those shoes! I almost bought a pair like that in December, but I ran out of money.
The shoes, the coat, the hair. Grrreat.
I love the way this woman's hair is swept a bit to one side. You don't see that to often with that hairstyle.
A little busy--but LOVE the hair!
It's not just the shoes that are great...I love her hair! Very cool style!
the shocking purple shoes echo with her grey tweed jacket. I have to dig out my purple shoes now!
this lady looks so put-together and nice. the shoes are a perfect finish, too, and her coat is lovely!
purple shoes! i love the hair -- sexy as all hell!
Those shoes are amazing! The ensemble looks neutral, appropriate for the foggy English winter, but at the same time, the watch and shoes add spots of color to signal that life is not all dead in the winter...
loove looove looooooove her heels!! amazing
oh, I love her shoes...purple on grey...
That is a lovely picture. The purple is a very nice contrast to the rest of the photo.
Gorgeous bag...and I love her hair.
Love love the pop of color being on her feet. Love her bag as well
I have to comment those shoes! They are purple, PURPLE my friend! And they are not an ugly purple color but a fantastic gougers one, the shoes are also extremely preatty. I do believe they wold have looked just as goo in white, example.
The purse has a vintage look too it and I love vintage, + her hair, so cool!!
ooh la la! Total London quirkiness. I love it.
Loveeee....Interesting portfolio as well.
I love it. Just a splash of color with her shoes and her bag. And it helps that she's gorgeous.
LOVE that the purple shoes just blast up from the rest of her outfit, also that here watch-band is turquoise/light blue, that's dope! I use a lime green so my point is put om some color hehe...
W-O-W!
POP! That's what those shoes do. Oh, how I love this ensemble: the hair, the shoes, the monochrome outfit (might replace the brown bag with a black one just to further emphasize the contrast with the shoes). (Does anyone else think purple looks absolutely divine on dark-skinned women? It's a natural association I've always made: purple and dark skin.)
she is beau-ti-ful! what fantastic style! my eyes do a dance to the song of every article: the warm jacket with what appears to be a string running through the buttons; the gorgeous bag and the divine shoes. she hit all the right notes.
holy mole! thank you!
She is marvelous! great shoes - black tights are the best background - fantastic air and gohead girl, cute legs too!
now i really miss having my hair like that. mmmmm

what are the young women wearing in Brixton?
i would write a comment, but there is no point since you only publish praise. i guess the site is more interested in gathering sycophants than in dialog
Great hair. Great shoes - and they almost match the I've-just-escaped-from-a-mental-hospital wristband. What's that building in the background? I'm not wild about the purse.
hi.. maybe you could do a little description of your models, the items they're wearing and where they got it from? just a suggestion :)
great job at photographing such beautiful and stylish passersby regardless. keep up the great photos :)
Ouah ! C'est quoi la marque de ces merveilles de chaussures ????
Je les veux (enfin, si cela rentre dans mon budget !)
wow... all i can say so early in the morning...
I love her hair, and the bag and shoes give this outfit character.
somedays i just wanna hide myself, go grey...but i still wanna be "interesting"...so, the color shoe it's a greaat option!
yeahhhhhhhhhh goooooood!
가지고싶엉ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
i like that shoe!
love the pop of color!
Love how the shoes pop out :)

Lovely shoes! Lovely hair! Really just great all around
i love her shoes,
i love that fluorescent purple,
fabulous!!
love the shoes..it's a well put together outfit with a pop of color..
nice girl, love the purple touch, which call the spring!
http://selonsyllora.blogspot.com
wow! love this :)
i looooove the texture of her coat!!! such a gorgeous silhouette
Amazing look!
I love so much those shoes!
(but not the bag).
Her hair is amazing. I'm so jealous.
The shock of purple & her turquoise watch make me feel happy looking at this photo. :)
Her hair is pure fun!
Oh god, first comment?
I love her hair, and how the purple shoes gives such a cheerful contrast to the outfit!
Love the shoes!! They makes the whole outfit work. Great style.
GORGEOUS!
I suppose that people who like colours (and I'm definitely one of them) have a huge problem to reach this kind of look. Mixing colours is so common skill comparing to the ability of using one colour so properly.
this is such a geat outfit! i love the way it looks like she just "threw it on" but then the shoes just make it stand out and exciting and full of flavour...plus the bag is great too!
AMAZING shoes. they add such a juicy pop to the outfit! also admiring that bag! xxxc
lovely!!!! i love how the shoes pop!
I love her.. this outfit makes me feel relieved--something about the tilt of her stance, the purple on black on grey, the fabulous hair, the cigarette, and that curious leather bag under her arm..
Gorgeous! But to me these extra-large clutch/portfolio purses just look cumbersome and forced. Maybe I just imagine how annoyed I'd be if I were carrying one around and needed a hand to do something else.
I tried clicking on the image to make it larger, but to no avail. My god, I love those purple shoes! And her "natural", wonderful.
wow i am in love with this! and the neon blue color of her watch.
the best picture on this site! It's nice to see black people with natural hair! [and the shoes are a great compliment to the big grey coat].
i´ve fallen in love..
this woman is seriously rad..
This is fab! Don't those shoes just pop right out!
love the contrast of the shoes against the black tights and grey coat, personally not too keen on the ethnic print bag myself but like the contrasting watch too.
She's good at accessorizing!!
i like your blog so i added you to my links ok? =)
wow! that hair and those shoes demand attention
Purple Haze Baby!
What ever it is, a pair of killer heels or personalised accessories is a spell on any gal’s outfit.
Incognito.
Ooooh, I really really love this look! Love the way the coat is slouchy. I really want to see what she's wearing underneath.
I might try to copy it but I don't think I'm brave enough to wear such bright shoes!
Shoes are everything:)
I like the shoes, but I would prefer other colour.
Su
Love it!
The purple shoes.
She looks great! Love the purple shoes as much as the modern 'fro. I like the doesn't-go-with-anything-here bag. She honestly looks as if she just happpened to look great.
omg THOSE SHOES!!!!!!!
Her hair is her best accessory...LUV it!
GORGEOUS!!
I love everything about her. Scrolling down was a revealing treat. Love her hair the most.
I am in awe! From her afro to her purple shoes and oversized jacket, I love it all.
i should get a pair of those asap :D ...very nice picture. I like the urban-residential scenery in the background.
Oh god, I want these shoes! I love the outfit, it's so... greyish/black but then these shoes! And her hair is fantastic!
i love the contrast of the shoes to her watch.
and her hair adds coolness!
I know everyone is obsessed by the shoes (and I agree they are brilliantly eyecatching), but can someone tell me what's going on with the bag? It looks to me as though it is tied by a piece of string to one of her buttons - am I imagining things?
An ingenious ensemble!
What I particularly love is the way she uses non-descript clothing for the majority of her garments (e.g. black scarf, black tights) and then blinds you with those high-contrast shoes and funky folio.
I can imagine people meeting her for the first time in that outfit; she'd pretty much be guaranteed a "nice shoes" complement every time!
Great to know you're in London.
I wonder what kind of party she went to? (Look at the bracelet on her wrist.)
Cool shot.
I'm not a big fan of the clutch (although I might be wrong since it's only a picture and I can't see it clearly) Love the turquoise bracelet though. fass
I enjoy her shoes !! Wonderful !
Her hair is her best accessory!
shoes!!
uoll
*-*
Yes, but can she run in those shoes? My five pounds says she can.
here's the link to the shoes, found them on topshop:
http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=60&viewAllFlag=false&catalogId=19551&storeId=12556&categoryId=73934&parent_category_rn=42358&productId=1039518&langId=-1
funny about the party bracelet. maybe from fashion week??
In assembling her somewhat drab outfit, I believe this one thought, "I'm still alive and I am going to attest to that fact." I think we all need a flash of color even if we do not smile all of the time. She is smiling somewhere in her heart and she wants the world to know.
Fantastic color details.
Salut,
absolutly fantastic. A great accent! A contrast to the rest of the outfit. I love it.
From where are these shoes?
Jérôme
I love the shoes and the bag!
Wow! Tights + open toe cage shoes? Hmmmm... That takes courage. I like the look though, minus the brown satchel.
PS: naturally curly (i.e. unprocessed) hair is NOT an accessory; it's hair.
fabulous shot. in response to an earlier comment about big city styles across the world becoming too samey as a result of globalisation, i think this is completely untrue. certainly, as a result of globalisation, ppl are more 'international', in that one can find more nationalities in a given city - but in no way, shape of form can the italian tailoring, fabrics and styles that sartorialist captures in milan/firenze be ever mistaken for london style! am i wrong?
Her hair is stunning! If even just a fraction of the people blessed with thicker hair tossed their straighteners and dumped their salon appointments, the world would be a more interesting place...
Also! I demand to know what she was wearing under that coat! That particular purple is just too warm (or something) for that grey, but against all black, it could be good, and the nonstop black would tie the purples in the bag to the purple in the shoes, too.
Every once in a while, I start to feel redundant in my palette of black/grey/red/dark denim, but just thinking about some simple dress over those tights and with those shoes has me appreciating how slick primarily black outfits look. x)
I love it! I've promised myself to add a lil bit more color to my wardrobe this spring.. And climb out of the matchy-matchy/bows& flowers-y/black&neutrals pit I seem to have fallen into.. I still like bows and flowery stuff.. I'm just gonna throw a little psychedelic in there! Liking the turquoise wristwatch/bracelet too..

I like the style of those shoes. Would look nice in black also.
Great bubble-coat and love the shoes! Londers are best at quirky =)
Amo!!!!!
The shoes color is actually perfect.
that's cool
the afro, african inspired leather bag, the shoes and everything else comes together so beautifully.
These are super cute! A nice touch of color for the winter blues.
What a gorgeous pop of colour! The shoes themselves are great too, and love the coat! GORGEOUS!
Oh wow! I haven't been wowed by a pic here in a while. But man oh man is she just superb. I love everything, everything.
Energie
glorious!
Okay I wish I could just have those shoes!
Perfect for London right now, we're just coming out of the grey of winter.
This made me smile.
I love that it is purple. I don't think any other colour would have attained the HI WORLD I'M HERE effect as stunningly.
The turquoise and the beautiful bag serve as smart counterbalancing choices.
I am loving this whole outfit. the shoes caught my eye and the rest of the outfit made me wish I owned it myself.
she looks fab... shoes.. just SUBLLIME...but just to say, ugly turquoise bracelet? comes from the topshop unique show i think... had the same...
You've got to lov ethe shoes!!
This girl looks absolutely fabulous. Her style is inspiring .. Great fashion sense!
adore the shoes!
Why not? They are so cute.

It's Birth of the Cool meets Birth of Venus: calm, collected come-hither vibes riding on foamy waves of purple suede.
love everything but the bag. i feel like when you add such a bright color to an otherwise somber palette the one slice is enough. anything more than looks haphazard.
I love everything including the bag. Great pops of color.
i have those shoes, they're from topshop, mines are a light, dusky pink colour. i love them, they're gorgeous and suprisingly they are not hard to walk in.
lovely x.
The entire look is amazing. She really knows how to balance sophisticated and classic with fun and modern.
kick ass shoes! she looks very cool... i would be afraid to approach her.
Purple shoes rule, but why does she look so mad?
She was photographed by The London Paper's LFW coverage on that day too.
I LOVE THE SHOES!!! amazing!!

Stand out items: eye catching purple peep toes and probably her "I'm sort of something special" hair.
This photo is stunning. I love her hair, I love her shoes. Real style.
Nice outfit.!! Those shoes are fantastic.
love the bag.
those shoes brighten up the dreary day. that's what i love about fashion.

so cool.
..........speechless.............
What really makes those shoes work is the dayglo aqua watch.
wow
How can she wear such vibrantly colored shoes, then mean-mug the camera??? It kills her whole look.
You're never fully dressed without a smile...
Love the shoes! It would have been a perfectly fine outfit with just black shoes, but that purple elevated the entire thing.
totally dig the contrast of those bondage booties. attitude...
she is a friend from art school and i didnt know she was on this blog, but we saw her in the london paper. someone mentioned the globalisation of trends, finding it hard to define fashion to a city, atiena is from paris which probably gives her an advantage: she was brought up to glide in stilettos!
i love your blog!!I added to my blog! This shoes are one of the things i never would buy but then I saw someone who looks so wonderful with them. It is a matter of style, but I'm learning day by day, jeje.
Kisses
Oh, what AWESOME Shoes .... who makes them, i wonder?
are those topshop shoes? could be it is london.
i swear they have thme in a candy red colour.
xo
The shoes, the shoes. the shoooeees.
Amazing looks
fantastic. This goes to show that you can really wear basic, neutral clothes and make them one's own with the right accessories. She has the knack. If the shoes had been red or blue....no. And her portfolio bag and turquoise watch are great counterpointsn to the shoes.
In my point of view fashion is a language which tells a story about the person who wears it.
Research papers
On the Street the Purple Shoes, in London, is some thing good to watch, I think that different peoples has different style and it is really nice to have your own.
On the Street she is wearing purple shoes with black dress, I think not much a good contrast, But she shoe;s are really cool, If they are in black color then it will be looking cool,

It's a way of celebrating the diversity and variety of the world in which we live. Fashion is about change which is necessary to keep life interesting.
This is a fashion stament if I have ever seen one. Good job.
Purple shoes goes perfect with the black tights. I wonder how it goes with several different colors. I guess you need to coordinate well.
I can't believe how amazing those bright purple shoes look with this grey outfit, great styling!
Those stick out like crazy, but it's always good to do your own thing!
