It's Your War Paint: Alexander Wang, Be Still My Heart

It's Fashion Week in NYC for the Fall 2014 season and omigod Alexander Wang won Saturday. Which was a tough call because It's Your War Paint favorite, Mara Hoffman, also showed on Saturday, as did hometown hero, Christian Siriano (oh hey, Annapolis!).

For me, it was all about the shoes. He managed to make boots resembling shin guards look chic and thigh highs look sporty. The true feat is that somehow my brain is telling me that I can pull off both looks despite the unflattering heights. I've been daydreaming about all of the outfits I could make with these gorgeous, shin guarding, to die for, perfect for boot season boots (or the Steve Madden variation since I'm a real person and don't have Alexander Wang money hanging out in my bank account waiting for September the roll around). But I have a confession: I suffer from cankles. Well, that's not true because I have ankles. And you can see them. But my calves and thighs are scarily similar in circumference so I suffer from whatever you'd call that anomaly. Midcalf boots hit the thickest part of my lower leg and I've yet to find a thigh high that is big enough for my calf and still fit above my knee correctly. I promise I will let you know as soon as I find something because I can't be the only one with "sporty" calves that don't match the proportion of the thigh above them. Anyway, here are some of my favorite beauty products that I will use when I want to feel all Alexander-Wangy.
