Iron Fist isn't just for Kung FU!


But it is for people who aren't afraid to make a statement with their feet! The company anyway! I've had about 20 or so pairs of Iron Fist shoes over the years and I have never worn a brand of shoes that I got more complimented on!

I remember the first time I wore these... it was to Nordstrom shopping with my mom. I was actually a little nervous about it honestly because they're pretty intense... but... I even had a little old lady tell me she loved my shoes and how awesome they looked with my cute outfit (circle skirt & sweater) I guess it just depends on how you dress them! I have like an entire collection of this style... I have the flats, the heels and the fuggs! (yes ladies! they have fuggs! so comfy!) All I was missing was the flip flops... but now I need the creepers!

These are a few of my most current obsessions. They are all currently available at Iron Fist!

Ladykiller Platform $50 Digi Skull Sequin Platform $60Lovelace Your Face T-Bar Platform $75 Lacey Days Platform $60

Distant Memory Flat Sandal $34 Lamby Ballerina Flat $40Ring Pop Peep Toe Flat $45 Zombie Stomper Creeper $50

Ruff Rider Flat $30 Reina Muerta Ballerina Flat$45Lovelace Your Face Creeper $60 Creepy Rose Peep Toe Flat $50


The ones that got away!
i found these on my first trip to New York. they only had a 9 left... a size too small... i scavenged the internet literally for years and never found them! they were AMAZING!!


Now. I can't really attest to any of their sizing anymore. They used to run about a size big, but recently, they have been running a bit narrow. I think if you find a pair you like, you know your feet well enough! Order them! You definitely will not be disappointed!

All of their shoes are 100% Vegan and Man-Made and available in sizes 5-11!
Well anyway! They have about 5 million other awesome pairs of shoes out there! And they also have AWESOME bags and wallets too! They've recently added, for spring 2013 nail stickers! You know that gets this little manicurists heart fluttering! Their clothing also does go up to a 2X. I haven't ever ordered any of it, but not because it wasn't awesome! I'm just a terrible procrastinator when it comes to ordering online and it always sells out!

I mean in all honesty, how could I not love a company with the motto "Made with Love for a Heartless World"?!

Don't just take my word for it! Go check em out! They're just the thing your outfit needs! Go!

Wait... what?! Stilettos aren't just for your feet?!

I keep hearing all of this nonsense about stiletto nails! And how we have Rihanna to thank for them and Lady GaGa. .. hmmmm...

Really?

I just wanted to take a second to point out that this nail shape goes back waaaay before Rihanna! To me, as a manicurists, I've just always known this shape as the Jean Harlow shape! Can't imagine why I'd get stuck on that one!

But lets take a little stroll down Golden Hollywood Memory Lane for just a second!


The ever luminescent Jean Harlow

I think the most important thing in fashion and style to remember is... everything new is old! Its so funny to see things pop back up every 20 years. If you think about the nails it makes sense! 30s, 50s, 70s, 90s, now!

So keep in mind, if you ever want to call a trend, look to 20 years ago! I love everything art deco, so Im just loving life and stocking up on everything deco!

and *my* Jean Harlow nails ;)
