Fall Flat

 

Have you done any fall shopping yet? I’m usually all over it, but I’m off to a slow start this year. Or maybe, it’s a “good” start, because I’m trying to carefully consider every purchase, and only buy and keep things I really love.

That said, I wore my new red flats on Friday, and I love them.

Speakup, Naughty!

I have been getting increasingly more concerned about my favorite leopard flats. They’re “Naughty” by Nine West, and they’ve been discontinued for a while now. I tried to stock up while I could, but this is my third and final pair. I wear them constantly, and they are, sadly, beat-to-shit. I mean, they are really kind of embarrassing at this point. I still have a silver pair in decent shape, and black patent pair in good shape, but the plain black ones are beat-nearly-to-shit as well.

New Shoes: Breaking Ground That Maybe Shouldn't Have Been Broken

 

If this is the future of shoe design, my bank account will be very, very happy. 

But I will be very, very sad.

Don’t You Step On My New Suede Shoes

Yes, I know it’s Blue Suede Shoes. But blue suede shoes are even LESS practical than black suede shoes.

Why is it that in the fall, I always have an uncontrollable urge to buy suede shoes? One reason is that all the stores push suede shoes for fall, so they’re in your face all the time. And the cozy texture of suede hits you right in that end-of-summer-sick-of-your-clothes-cooler-weather-need-new-stuff place. Suede has that feeling of relaxed luxury, like cashmere. Doesn’t everyone want to feel relaxed and luxurious, all the time? Plus, suede shoes always seem like they’ll be more comfortable than regular shoes, which I don’t even think is true. It’s all part of the magic of suede.

Flat-out Best

Last week I told you all about my really cute, comfortable, affordable sandals. (The ones I have three pairs of.) Today, I thought I’d share the other cute, comfortable, affordable shoe I have in multiples, because, seriously, they are so good! You need to know.

Everyone Wants These Sandals, and Maybe You Do Too?

Is there anyone out there who doesn’t need a pair of adorable, affordable sandals that are also comfortable?

Walk A Mile in Your Shoes

It’s Wedding Season! I’ve just been to the first of four weddings I’m attending this summer, and I thought I would share some of my little tricks for making dressing up a bit more comfortable, specifically, your feets!

There’s No Place Like The Internets

I recently learned about a website where you can "design" your own shoes and they will make them for you. YES! I KNOW. It’s called Milk & Honey. You can make pumps, flats, or sandals, and they say wedges and booties are coming soon. They’re not cheap, but they are not entirely unaffordable either. It depends on your budget, but mostly on how desperately you want the shoes in your head to be on your feet. The prices are based on how many bells and whistles (or really, bows and ruffles) you add, and the materials of course. They all seem to be over $200, and very quickly get to $300.
