Raising HELL & Kicking ASS

Unif Hellraisers in Leopard Print Pony Hair (Limited Edition)

I went and got another shoe ^^;

I guess I'm kinda late in getting this, but it was on a incredible sale and I seriously couldn't resist.
I got these from Karmaloop(click here)
If' you are either size 5 or 6, I recommend you guys get them while they're on a pretty big sale.

These are such sick badass pair of shoes! There's already a ton of reviews and unboxing videos out there, so I don't think I'll be doing one myself. But I will leave a small post on all the important aspects of this shoe :)

Sizing: I'm usually 6.5, but Unif for some odd reason didn't have 1/2 sizing so I decided to get a size down.  The size I got is a little to tight for me on one of my feet because that feet fits better with size 7 than 6 but the other feet is doing fine and pretty much fits perfectly.  I'm hoping that the tightness will go away as the leather starts to give. Unif, please manufacture 1/2 sizes!

Material: Pony hair with leopard prints on the outer lining. One of the downside of getting pony hair might be that they can get frazzled and messed up easily, especially since there's all these prints of leopard spots on it.  

Nonetheless, the prints are made in high quality design and doesn't give off a cheap kind of feel. 

Inner lining is the usual lamb leather I believe. The leather is pretty thick and durable.

Spikes: I'm not feeling any loose spikes, so it's pretty buckled down in there :) They are kind of sharp, but not as sharp as my spiked litas.  However, they will do some damage is you were to put some force into it.

 Note: Unif doesn't give out any complementary spikes in case the spikes do fall out.  I think you'd have to contact them to get extra spikes.

Cushioning:  You guys know I love my cushioning in my shoes, and I consider it as important as the design. They have to be comfortable for me to rave about it.  Given that, I think that the hellraisers have a pretty darn good cushioning in them and pretty comfortable minus the little tightness. There's a good couple of millimeters of soft cushion in the heels that's noticeable :)

On the last note, WILL THEY STYLE?

Yes, they're pretty easy to style, and works with more of the casual type of wear. With the spring coming up, these will definitely get it's share of wear with a pair of shorts and tee's.  I bought these with an intention to slip them on for school on those days where I DGAF. Honestly,  I've been getting sick of wearing my vans and converse on my DGAF days. These will just add a little more edge and funk to my day :D

Head Over Heels for Electromancer

Miista's Spring/Summer 2013 collection ELECTROMANCER  seriously caught my eye and I've just been fathoming over so many of their shoes lately.  At first, it started of with their galaxy and gem print bootie the Val Tez then moved on to the Zoe and now I'm wanting their Ursla and Tara.

It breaks my heart to know that I'll be only be able to afford one or two of them...Now I have to go make a decision once they're fully released.   So far only the Val Tez and the Zoes are available.  Miista, please release the other shoes!!!  I don't think I've ever been this excited about a shoe release before XD

The Taras in Neptune

In love with the dainty ankle strap and the vivid galaxy print.  Would love to add few more pumps into my collection, as I'm seriously lacking in that department

Left: Tori   Right: Ursula

 Patiently eyeing the Ursula as it's not released yet, but once it comes out it'll probably the first thing from the collection I'll buy.  Flatforms have been really trending lately, and I haven't invested in one yet.  I think this is going to be it.

The Kia in Ombre Pink

 Not much of an ombre fan - I think it's overused to an extent where people have abused the trend - but this surprisingly adds charm and class to the shoe. Well done Miista, I approve :)

The Sue in Neptune

 Ohhohoho~ I'm a sucker for galaxy print. Need I say more

The Val Tez in Topaz/Mauve

One of the designs that's already out!  I'm extremely tempted to just splurge on one right now, but looking into my shoe collection, I'm realizing that I've been over indulging myself with booties. Must resist!  Nonetheless, it looks like it could be an amazing summer shoe.  Ohhh~ the possibilities of outfits that could be strewn together with this shoe

The Zoe in Iridescent Silver

Zoe in Florescent Yellow

Did I mention that I'm a sucker for oxfords as well?  This shoe is already available and has been featured by the lovely Ivania from Love-Aesthetics.  My only wish about this design is that it came with a slightly higher heel.  Maybe a 1.5"-2" kitty heel? I'm pretty short so the extra height would be really helpful streamlining the body.  Of course, I would want it in the obnoxious florescent yellow and add it into my summer shoe collection :D

Pictures were from Miista and Solestruck

Finally got around to this :)
I got around to review this earlier on this blog

In the Haus of Slytherins

Like I said in my previous post, I had another shoe come in :D 

Soooo here's the written review of these babies.  They're the Olgas in Grey Snake by Deandri. I went and bought these during the Cyber Monday sale from Solestruck.com for $37.  The only size left was 6.5, which was perfect! I've been eyeing the beige Olgas but it was $20 more :(

I'm planning to make a video review with outfits as well when I get the time, but for now I'm just going to have a written post for now.

Pre-Veiwing: Minor Confession of a Major Shoeholic

Ok, so I have a small confession to make. I bought another shoe during the cyber monday sale from solestruck >.<

The package came in weeks ago (couple days after cyber monday), but I'm planning on making another shoe unboxing/review video once this quarter's over.  I haven't gotten to wear it out yet, so everything's gonna have to wait.  

I know this is such a tease~ Those of you who understand my obsession over shoes know this is killing me as well.  I want to wear these babies out! But alas, finals still awaits me and I still gotta make my way down to L.A. for the break.  

Excited :P

Scarlett Fever

Jeffrey Campbell Red Spikes Lita

I've been fathoming over these shoes for almost a year and a half, but recently I've been finally able to afford one thanks to having a job :) Yay summer jobs ^^

I also bought one in the classic model in the color black.  I didn't get around to take a photo of it, but everyone pretty much knows what it looks like now. If not, just google it! There're ton of pics out there luckily

I can't wait for the weather to cool down here in Cali so I can start styling the red Lita!!! The black one is obviously easy to wear out cuz it basically goes with anything.  The red ones are a bit more trickier and I could only seem to think up of autumn and winter wear.

As for the feel and wear of these shoes:

Mountain Spirits

This was couple days ago when I decided to take my little sibling out with me to take some pictures :)

Were you able to spot the rabbit and the deer? :P

FO-EEEVEAAAA

I've been a big fan of Jo Kwon's Ssan-ti dance and always respected him as an entertainer.  He's always an energizer bunny in talk shows ^^ After I found out he released his new solo with those Jeffery C. shoes, I have a new level of respect for him.

Seriously! He is breaking the gender boundaries with his new performance!

I am literally bowing down to his skills to dance in those shoes and the courage to do so as well.

Cosmic Litas by Jeffery Campbell

ZOMFG I want!!!

I'm seriously stuck in a rut and school is just not going great for me.  I just want to go back home. My depression is ready to set off my online shopping splurging habit.  What's keeping me from splurging on this beauty is that I'm flat broke after paying my rent. I'm already a starving college student with 1000's of dollars in debt, do I really need this?

Pfft who am I kidding, YES I need it. I'll just cut back on my groceries next quarter :P

Classics Never Die

Lately I'm going through a 50's-60's phase. I was always fasicanted by the 50's-60's style but never lived up to it until recently.  It partially has to do with the fact that I'm now living on my own, which somewhat gives me a freedom to purchase and decor however I wish too without much financial restrain.

The overall idea I wanted to express is that I love vintage because it carries a air of familiarity.  There's something about it gives me that warm and fuzzy feeling of security. Maybe it's just psychology working on me, because I know that the item or whatever style it may be carries some sort of unique history pertaining to each decade.

Funny thing is, instead of being attracted to the women's style, I've been leaning more towards the men's style with the large leather messenger bag/briefcase and the glasses.  If I could find myself a large circle skirt with lots of volume, I would actually like to pair it with the masculine wear I own to make it more contemporary. I love pairing men and women's wear together, but most people find that odd. That's another story for another day.
