  • oh hello, didn't see you there

  • I was just casually reclining amongst a large pile of footwear

  • This video is already way too sexual

  • As you guys probably know, I am a bit of a shoe enthusiast

  • Honestly like even more than clothing design, I love shoe design

  • For some reason

  • So, I thought it'd be fun to share my collection with you guys and chat about the shoes that I have

  • Also all the shoes in this video, if they're still available, are gonna be linked below if you guys wanna

  • Wanna shop them as well

  • I am capitalism incarnate

  • When did my life become about selling products

  • Yeah, this is the shoe collection

  • I hope you guys enjoy

  • Also foot fetish people

  • Please don't leave a comment about how sexy my feet are because that happened last time I did this video when I was in high school and it was very disturbing, so

  • Masturbate in silence

  • If you're into that

  • Otherwise, everybody else, enjoy

  • Thanks

  • First up, we have sneakers

  • because they still have a special place in my heart

  • from when I was in high school and like once a year my mom would take me to the mall and we'd get like my new sneakers for the year

  • So first up I have like the ultra basic, basic pair. The nike air force ones

  • Everybody and the instagram girl who runs their fanpage

  • has one of these

  • but honestly they are worth the hype

  • They're so comfortable

  • They go with everything

  • I love that there is like a half inch platform

  • So I can pretend to be like a little bit taller

  • I also have the classic chunky Fila disrupters

  • I've seen so many memes on instagram about how like disgusting and huge these are

  • but I don't know, I really like them

  • My most recent sneaker purchase are these lavender Filas

  • Which I thought was such an interesting

  • almost like hiker-inspired silhouette

  • Like something about the lace-up pattern

  • Looks like the shoes that boys who rock climbed in my math class wore

  • You know?

  • But like in a really fashionable way

  • And I also liked that they have a little pop of color

  • because most of my sneakers are white

  • and most of my shoes are very neutral

  • So it was nice to change it up a little bit

  • Recently I also got these lil nike bowling shoes

  • They look very much like something Napoleon Dynamite would wear

  • And I am all about it

  • I think they look great with some funky socks like I'm wearing right now

  • or with a simple pair of blue jeans and a red top to color coordinate

  • Next up, we've got surprise, surprise

  • yet another pair of new sneakers pretending to be vintage sneakers

  • These are some vintage reeboks

  • and I have worn the heck out of them

  • They're super light-weight and comfortable so they were perfect

  • all the days I was running late to class when I was in college

  • Or just for like going out and using your feet

  • I don't know

  • They're comfortable is what I'm tryna say

  • Of course I have some classic converse because

  • I don't know about your guys' high school but like everybody was kinda defined by the shoes they wore

  • a little bit

  • like you could be a vans girl

  • you could be a toms girl

  • I was definitely a converse girl

  • I don't know why I identified so strongly with this shoe brand

  • I guess that is capitalism at it's finest

  • Anyways, I've always had converse

  • These high tops I bought freshman year of college

  • And you can tell

  • because they're pretty beat up

  • I also got these low tops last year to uh

  • Let out that spicy, spicy ankle

  • And surprise surprise I also have a vintage -quote, unquote-

  • Inspired pair of converse

  • These are supposed to be like 70's-inspired but I just really like the dark green color

  • and of course pretty much like every girl in America

  • I have running shoes as part of an aspirational gym wardrobe

  • So I can delude myself into thinking that I'm sporty

  • Other than sneakers, my most worn category of shoes is definitely the type of low blocky heel

  • They make the outfit feel a little fancy but they're still really comfortable to walk in

  • So my first pair is my OG's

  • These are my picnic bitch shoes that I have had for probably four years now

  • They just look so good with any outfit

  • I love the oversized buckle

  • And I am sucker for an ankle strap

  • As you guys will see in the rest of my shoes

  • Speaking of picnics

  • I have a full on gingham pair of heels

  • I think these are so cute and they're surprisingly easy to pair with outfits

  • because most of my clothes are solids so it's nice to have just like a little pop of pattern

  • These lavender shoes are so cute but

  • in the wise words of Taylor Swift

  • They are a nightmare dressed like a daydream

  • Yeah, these shoes are gorgeous but they're so uncomfortable and the main reason my ankles are so torn up right now

  • That and just being really bad at shaving

  • These yellow heels are the most comfortable shoes that I own

  • Okay, maybe, maybe barring some of the sneakers

  • But they are of ridiculously soft leather, it's just like MM

  • It's like a nice leathery sock for your foot

  • But like not in a weird way

  • In like a really comfortable way

  • You might recognize these white heels because pretty much anytime I do a try on segment

  • These are the shoes that I wear

  • I love like the square neckline

  • I love the square toe cleavage line

  • I've been looking for square toe heels for such a long time

  • and I'm so glad that I finally found these

  • These are my most recent heel purchase

  • I got these a bit on impulse when I walked into this pretentious vintage store

  • in LA

  • But they are so comfortable and I love that they, like, envelope your entire toe box

  • so it, again, feels like a nice smooth leathery sock for your feet

  • I also like that these heels give off a bit of a more mature vibe

  • They kinda give me like a 30 year old who is creative and owns her own business

  • and actually remembers to clean her shower more than once per three months

  • Ashley

  • These heels are some of the first shoes that I really really fell in love with

  • They were from Zara but they sold out on Zara

  • So I had to hunt these down on Ebay

  • And I think I paid like a twenty dollar markup

  • Which in high school money, was kind of a lot

  • Honestly, I haven't worn these a lot recently

  • So I have considered selling them a couple times

  • But I feel like they have too many good memories from high school

  • and I remember when I got these, it was like the first time that I felt like a legit fashion blogger/youtuber

  • because it was the style of shoe that all of my favorite fashion bloggers were wearing

  • so, yeah I can never get rid of them

  • And plus, I think they're pretty cute

  • OG followers know that I originally started, like, my internet fashion journey with a blogspot called cap toe flats

  • because I owned these cap toe flats from payless that I loved so much

  • So these are kind of my grown up, more mature, cap toe heels

  • And my last shoes for this section are these black pearl heels

  • Now these heels are gorgeous, but they are some of the most infuriating shoes I own

  • because of this sound that they make

  • [infuriating sound]

  • Cute but infuriating

  • Just like me, I suppose

  • These are probably my favorite sandals that I own

  • They make me feel like a princess polly

  • and a Bratz doll had a baby

  • And I frickin love it

  • These espadrilles are also up there in my favorites

  • I love that they're made of a very summery material

  • but the platform kinda gives it a funky vibe

  • So it's the perfect thing to pair with girly summer outfits

  • It keeps me grounded

  • Literally because they're shoes

  • And it also gives me a nice boost of height while still being pretty easy to walk in

  • These shoes are chic as hell

  • But also some of the least structurally-sound shoes I've ever seen

  • like who thought these two spaghetti straps of fabric could hold a shoe on your foot?

  • Apparently, me because I bought them.

  • They're so cute but I feel like they're hanging on to my feet by a thread

  • I snagged these heels from Intentionally Blank

  • Which is a really cool small shoe company and they make some funkyass styles

  • which I really vibe with

  • This is one of their more simple styles but I like that the rope adds a bit of texture even to a really simple nude shoe that pairs with everything

  • speaking of nude shoes that pair with everything

  • these are my ultra basic steve madden heels

  • The first time I bought these was freshmen year of high school

  • and I bought them used off of Depop for like $25

  • because that was all I could afford at the time

  • I wore the heck out of those to the point where I finally bought myself a replacement

  • This is the only pair of shoes that I ever bought double

  • of the exact same pair

  • But that's how much I like them

  • This is a really cool pair of colorful heels that I thrifted

  • I love that they're unapologetically rainbow

  • A really unique silhouette

  • Um

  • At this point I'm kinda running out of things to say about shoes

  • So that is the pair of shoes

  • As you see on screen

  • Okay, next

  • We've got these chunky dr. marten sandals that look like birkenstocks went through an emo phase

  • [clears throat]

  • It's not a phase, mom

  • I don't know about you guys, but I have desperately missed the feeling of a bumpy foam insole

  • ever since I stopped wearing crocs in fifth grade

  • and oh boy, these are taking me back

  • These are birkenstocks but they're like foamy birkenstocks

  • So first of all they're super lightweight

  • Second of all, they're a heck of a lot cheaper than regular birkenstocks

  • And third of all, they feel like crocs on your feet

  • and it is amazing

  • These boots are to this day

  • one of the most expensive things that I own

  • They are an absolute splurge

  • but they're sustainable, they were made in Italy

  • they are comfortable as hecky decky

  • I don't know but I've just been searching for the perfect pair of boots for so long

  • Every single fall I would buy a new style of black boot

  • by the end of the season, they would be completely dead

  • So I decided, fuck it

  • It's time to invest in a pair that you actually like and that would last me multiple years in a row

  • Next up I have these chunky, ridiculous, badass like stomp-on-my-face type boots from unif

  • This looks like an incredibly intimidating shoe to wear

  • but it's actually pretty comfortable and pretty lightweight

  • because the base is just like all foamy

  • So I feel pretty comfortable wearing these on a regular basis

  • and

  • aaa

  • I love how much of a statement they are

  • I used to hate dr. martens but then the youtube algorithm kept recommending emma chamberlain videos

  • and then the next thing I knew, I really liked scrunchies,

  • I owned three pairs of docs,

  • I'm going to soul cycle 8 days a week

  • Okay, just kidding about the soul cycle thing

  • I'm way too out of shape for that but

  • I did spend a lot of money on docs

  • and scrunchies

  • (laughs) So there's that

  • I got these stella mccartney boots second-hand from an online consignment store called the real real

  • These boots make me feel like I have a membership to a country club, you know

  • They're very fancy, I love the gold chain on them, the tortoiseshell heel is super unique

  • I hopped right on the yeehaw trend and bought these cowboy boots

  • so I can be a trendy LA girl who pretends she's in touch with the rural American south

  • when in reality, I've lived my entire life in an urban liberal elitist bubble

  • but at least cowboy boots are cute, right?

  • Oh my god. Is that Taylor Swift on a boot?

  • Okay, just kidding, that joke is from like 2016

  • but I'm really tryna make this video entertaining

  • I've been talking about shoes for like forty minutes now

  • and I have run out of good shoe-related jokes

  • but here are these snakeskin boots

  • I also have this exact same style of boot in white

  • This kinda gives me, like, a 60s gogo dancer vibes

  • and I think it's really fun to pair with a patterned dress or patterned pants, like I have in this video

  • You guys have seen these patent boots in a lot of my videos

  • Other than the first boots I showed you

  • these are probably my most worn

  • they make me feel like a character in the Matrix and I will take any chance I can to feel a little more like Keanu Reeves

  • I also wear these boots to a lot of meetings because they're the tallest boots I can confidently wear without being scared I'm gonna topple over

  • And yeah I like feeling tall in meetings, somehow it boosts my confidence a lot

  • I also have a very similar pair in white, because, apparently, I can never stop myself at just one color

  • of the same type of shoe

  • But I like pairing these with white dresses or light wash jeans

  • And lastly I have these red sock boots

  • which make me feel like a sassy little power ranger

  • and I love it

  • I just have two pairs of wedges

  • So the first is this classic, summery, espadrille wedge

  • I have seen these on so many bloggers, probably since like I was in high school

  • they've just been a classic for so many summers in a row

  • I also have these nude wedges that I wore to my high school graduation

  • and I bothered to drag them through four different college apartments

  • just so I could bring them full circle and wear them to my college graduation

  • which is next week

  • graduation is always incredibly anti-climactic, but I don't know

  • a part of me is still really excited

  • mostly for the snacks at the reception

  • I also have two pairs of mules

  • which, for the longest time, I thought these were ugly as hell

  • but now I think they're ugly as hell in kind of a cute way

  • So first up, I have these aggressively 90s ones that look straight out of 10 things I hate about you

  • They're from a brand called roc australia

  • which makes the most insanely comfortable shoes

  • like these (inaudible) just have arch support and everything

  • and I have this more modern pair of white mules as well

  • Some people love heels with socks, some people absolutely hate it

  • I personally blame the 2012 hit ABC series Jane by Design

  • that and Girlboss on Netflix

  • I think both of those characters wore these platform type heels and they wore them with socks

  • and I don't know, I think quirky is such a cringy word, but I think it's so quirky and cute

  • I have become such a stucker for this type of platform peep toe heel

  • So I have these ones in white, which you guys have seen recently

  • I love the little studded detail around the side

  • I have these funky leopard ones

  • which definitely gives me 2000s hooker vibes, but like

  • I like em

  • and these dark floral ones which I get so many questions where these are from

  • They're actually from primark, I got them like five years ago for 10 pounds

  • so they're some of the cheapest shoes I own

  • but also one of my favorite pairs

  • Everything is one of my favorite pairs, I'm sorry

  • You'll know me as hoe for textures and that also applies to shoes

  • these are corduroy heels

  • yes, they are made of corduroy

  • which is like the coolest shit I've ever seen

  • and then lastly

  • I have a very classic pointy pair of heels

  • I thrifted these for around $10 but I like to tell myself that if I painted the back red

  • You probably couldn't tell the difference between this and Louis Vuittons

  • Anna Wintour is disowning me as we speak

  • but I think they look pretty damn similar and they didn't cost me a thousand dollars

  • so I'll take that anyday

  • Okay, I feel like I've been saying a lot of shoes in this video are my favorite shoes

  • but these are also one of my favorite shoes

  • they're incredibly comfortable, they're a really unique silhouette

  • they look like a steampunk benjamin franklin

  • I mean what the heck more do you want in a shoe

  • Next up, we have these tassle loafers

  • these are like my old fashioned, robber barron businessman shoes

  • Like these shoes say

  • I love capitalism

  • Sorry, I don't know why I'm being so sassy about capitalism today

  • but I read a couple too many books about our current economy

  • and it is making me feel peak socialist

  • fun story about these shoes is that I was in a trash alley behind my building

  • taking self timer photos in these shoes

  • and this lady walks by and stops, like I thought because my phone was on her car

  • but she was actually just like

  • Oh my gosh, those are really cute shoes

  • where did you get them?

  • I don't know what the point of that story was but I guess hashtag just ashley things

  • And lastly, I just have one pair of ballet flats

  • Despite being obsessed with ballet flats when I was in high school

  • I'm not a huge flats gal anymore

  • So I just have this one pair which is made of 100% recycled water bottles

  • Which probably doesn't make up for the environmental impact of me owning 42 fucking pairs of shoes

  • but I'm gonna pretend like that makes me kind of a better person

  • It doesn't really

  • I own a lot of shoes

  • I like fashion

  • Okay, anyways

  • thanks so much for making it all the way to the end

  • I'll see you guys next week

  • bye!

oh hello, didn't see you there
