In the Kingdom we have a colour we call Techno Green. It's possibly the most favourite colour of Queen Marie and I, and one we both have lots of.
Techno Green is a shade of army green but called Techno Green because whenever we would go to techno events in warehouses or on boats, it was essential to bring a warm coat which was envariably a parka of some sort.
When I saw these Alexander Wang shoes on The Outnet in the celebrated Techno Green, I couldn't resist. The colour was really more of a bonus as the shoes themselves are a good practical height for stomping about town and have that slightly ugly, awkward thing I love so much.
If you read a large number of blogs then you'l know that Alexander Wang had become a favourite among many bloggers along with small denim shorts and a love of Kate Moss/Kate Bosworth/Alexa Chung. Sadly, I don't fit into small denim shorts, nor do I love any of the aforementioned celebrities, so perhaps I'm breaking some kind of blog law by wearing Wang. Although I think he, rather controversially, has been replaced by Isabel Marant as the new blog girl favourite. Poor Alex - one day you're in and the next day you're out! That's fashion sweetie.
I am wearing them with Future Classics dress; Primark shirt; Topshop jeans; vintage off-the-shoulder top
On a side note - I'm so sick of wearing my hair in a bun but hate it when it's hanging down because it's at a crappy length. Sheesh!

You look fierce!

Your refusal to wear Wang with slouchy tanks and denim shorts is why we read The Kingdom. Neither you nor Queen Marie is a Generic Blogger Girl™ and that is why we love you!

ahhh, techno green! i know exactly what kind of garments you're talking about.
and the wang shoes are great. they remind me of geisha sandals, in a way, techno geisha, maybe?

Small denim shorts would be too much of a cliche (and goosebumps also are never a great look as the year slouches into Autumn and beyond).
On a slightly tangential note I am also impressed that your feet that appear unblemished despite your ballet devotion and the punishments of en pointe!

MizzC it's funny should mention my blemish free feet. I was reading somewhere that someone was very concerned about my feet because of ballet and pointe work, but I've literally not had so much as a blister as a result of my pointe shoes or ballet. I was told by a former ballet teacher that some girls feet get torn to shreds, whilst some just sail through without a scratch. I think I'm one of the lucky ones! Q.Michelle x

What a good sense of twisting army outfit ! Love the layers, especially your leather off-the-shoulder top !
That's a good thing you don't follow what everyone puts with this type of shoes, the result is much more original free and inspiring !
Keep going please :-)

are you allowed to get on here and say 'that outfit looks bl**dy awful'? sorry. the one good thing I can say is that you really suit buttoned up collars, but the rest just looks uncomfortable.

You can absolutely say that here Leila. I am in no way a people pleaser so people who don't like what I wear don't bother me at all.

Phew!! wasn't sure if i would be banned after that....only cause everyone is always saying how much they love what you're wearing, and i don't always love it. but i am a fan of this blog, and especially many of the designers featured .
by the way....i so don't get the alexa chung hype, so was happy to read your post!
