This is so awesome I can't even speak...
As you may know, back in September, Gwyneth Paltrow started an advice website called Goop. She said, "My life is good because I am not passive about it", and she wanted you to know that one of the reasons she's a millionaire actress is because she invests in what’s real and pauses before reacting. She tells you to not be lazy, which may or may not be why you’re not a millionaire actress. (note – Paltrows parents are lifelong friends with Steven Spielberg, who gave Gwyneth her first role in "Hook".)
Anyway, now Gwyneth is lashing back at critics who think the site is condescending and unrealistic. Those critics just don’t get it, Gwyneth tells People magazine.
"I think the people who are criticizing it or criticizing the idea of it, don't really get it, because if they did, they would like it." Paltrow said she believes some of the barbs simply stem from the fact that she's doing something new and different. "I think that people like people to stay in their 'box' – they like people to stay how they are comfortable seeing them."
That's what I was thinking too. Those critics are either too scared to leave their safe little box or too dumb to get it. Unlike Gwyneth Paltrow, who is really smart (note – she attended college for less than one semester, as an art major at UCSB, then dropped out) and knows people could benefit from her wisdom.
For example, Goop has a section called GET. "The fun frivolity (of shopping) can really cheer a girl up," she says. : )
Here, she talks about some basic clothing pieces for what she calls "everyday life". But looking good doesn’t have to cost a lot, because as she says, "I have found a few great (pieces) in all different price ranges."
She goes on to recommend five different pairs of shoes. She starts with a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti boots, and count your lucky stars because those are actually on sale right now for 600 dollars. They’re normally 1000. Next she hearts some tartan Roger Vivier boots that will cost anywhere from 1150 to 1700 dollars. After that the Lidia heels from Brian Atwood go for 1000. Next are some Christian Louboutin boots for 1125, and she finishes with some Gucci ankle boots, now on sale for 800 (they're normally 1000).
Gwyneth and I agree. 600 to 1700 covers all the different price ranges. The normal person can spend 1700, but even if you’re a piece of shit with only 600 dollars to spend on shoes, even you can have some nice basic pieces for everyday life. If you get them online, on sale.
.....
In another section (here), she talks about "easy, fuss-free dressing. I’ve paired the basics together for three very different but wearable outfits that can be amended for any occasion."
Good, some more basics, simple staples to make a womans life easier. She recommends a cashmere coat by Tods for 2000 dollars. Theres also a pashmy bag by Tods (she's the Tods spokeperson by the way). A similar pashmy bag retails for 1125 dollars. The Chopard heart necklace she recommends retails for around 3000. The repetto ballet flats are 235. The Sergio Rossi boots are around 1000. The coin purse is crafted lambskin (treat yourself!) and sells for 300.
If you were wondering, so far we’ve spent twelve and half thousand dollars for one coat, a purse, a wallet, a weeks worth of shoes and a necklace. A small price to pay for the blueprint to success, as told by Gwyneth Paltrow, thanks to the wisdom she’s gained from overcoming a lifetime of opulence and luxury. When she started out in Hollywood, all she had were connections and millions of dollars, yet she made it, and now ...YOU CAN TOO (if you have those things)!

Nike Shox are the best for squats. Best shoe for lifting.
-
it pisses me off to pay 150$ for nike shox
I hate spending on shoes and clothes
-

I read an article saying you should never squat with the Shox.
don't remember the reason, but I still do anyway
-

Why would you spend 150 dollars for them.
I get them brand new for 40 dollars or less.

**hops on Plane to Milan with Prada and Gucci shops on hit list**
If TA bestows information upon you, by the Lord himself, you must act!!

Canada sucks for prices on sneaks.

i like them because they lift your heels and put the stress on your quads, like squating on a 10lb plate, just enough to push off your heels

Damn Adonis.
Just curious, you're still ugly though, right? :D
-

That is why you buy them online.

that's the prices here in Canada.
sometimes they get down to 100$ but those are old shoes
-
I have a $40 pair of airwalks that I bought 4 years ago, and Nike sandals that I bought 2 years back.
-
That is why you buy them online.
yeah I need to have a credit card first ;D
maybe I should start shopping online
-

Yeah but aren't you broke?
-

Why must you have the newest style if you liked the old one previously?
The good thing about Gucci and the like, they are the same style that they have been making for 50 plus years so it never is old.
There is a great scene in Frost/Nixon where Richard Nixon is mesmerized by a pair of Gucci shoes. 8)

My girl is from Halifax.every time she goes home to visit she has to take a sneaker order ;D

-
Adonis, nobody cares about that movie. I want death, destruction, tits. Lowest common denominator stuff. I mean Nixon is kind of cool but I went to school for that sort of thing.
I go to the movies to see things I'd never do but post on getbig.com that I would do.
-

yeah I didn't think I was responsible enough with my money so that's why I never wanted one ;D

No they won't. ::) Any pair or leather-soled shoes will wear down and need re-soled in a few years (or less if you wear them a lot).
-
If the shoe fits....
-
No they won't. ::) Any pair or leather-soled shoes will wear down and need re-soled in a few years (or less if you wear them a lot).
Fuck off Goatboy. Why are you always nay saying like you offer any advice about anything around here. The sole isn't what you're paying for. Go back to the xboard and get made fun of.
-

Soles are cheap. Vibram, which is one of the best, is about 15 dollars installed. Vibram is what Prada specifically uses.
Keep in mind that for the price that you pay for your mall shoes, you could have had quality.
-
The same goes for clothes.....
You can easily buy top of the line brand new for less than you would pay at any store in a conventional mall, (most quality brands will never be in a mall) if you know what you are doing and if you know where and who to go to.
-
I was able to find the "1000 dollar Sergio Rossi`s" mentioned in the knee jerk article for 125 dollars brand new from a direct Sergio Rossi dealer.

Holy Macaroni, TA! 2 pair shox. 1 pair baseabll cleats. 1 pair Birkenstocks. 1 pair winter boots. Guess I'm not strutting down any catwalks soon. :-\
-
I found the Zanottis for 149 dollars.
-
Gwyneth Paltrow is trolling! That is so fucking cool.
-
I read an article saying you should never squat with the Shox.
don't remember the reason, but I still do anyway
Because if you can squat any amount of weight you will blow them out
-

i bet you look hot in those!
-

Just don't go over 225lbs
-
Pair of Saucony's purchased four years ago: $45
Not having to replace them because they're still so damn comfortable: Priceless
-
On her site she mentions she can deadlift 225 for 100.
But she can't release the video due to some non-disclosure agreement.

True. I bought a few expensive pairs of Allen Edmonds ($400) and they last. Unlike cheap dress shoes.

quite possibly the gayest thread in getbig history, a multitude of getbiggers having a long discussion about SHOES.
this would have never been allowed in the squad days.

oh and also gwenyth paltrow lives in a completely different world than the other 99.999% of humanity, id love to drag her though mud for the length of a football field, then force her to work on a car engine for 8 hours then drop her off in the middle of Watts at night with no clothes on.

You must be very wealthy to afford such luxury items.
This leaves me with nothing but jealousy.

Wait until they hit Customs and get across the boarder... it's usually the same price, if not cheaper to just get it in person. We Canadians get fucked every which way.
-
its no wonder you end up being so arrogant when people tell you over and over again how great you are, some people should be put back in their place.
they only derive their happyness from cheap luxury, lucky enough they cant buy immunity from getting ill, u can have everything and be papered with gold and diamonds but when you end up with getting cancer ur fucked like anyone else.

the same could be said about t shirts, panst, under wear, how your hair looks, how you smell....... etc etc etc... theres am illion different things that could have this kind of effect... however at the end of the day there are people with shitty shoes that have wonderful days. how come? because you have the ability to have the same kind of outlook and mindset without good shoes (without anything ) than you would have with them. this goes for the t shirts and pants and everything else. material things are imaginary.
