SHOE PORN: Fendi Colorblock Wedges

I absolutely love these Fendi Colorblock Wedges.  From the punchy aqua band to the structural wedge heel, these shoes are trendy, interesting, and yet very practical.  I want them now!

Still longing for thigh high boots

TORY BURCH ELENA BOOTS

Over a year later, and I’m still longing for thigh high boots!  Well, glad to announce that I found the perfect pair - Tory Burch Elena boots  $550.  But like any good love story, our love was forbidden:  she was too expensive ($550 really?); I just couldn’t justify paying full price; and of course she was sold out everywhere.  I regretted this non-purchase, especially since I’ve pretty much worn my Jil Sander riding boots into the ground.  But one day, I randomly searched for my lost love on ebay, and she popped up - brand new and discounted!  There’s 1 bid, and about 2 days left.  If I don’t get it, then I’ll know that it wasn’t meant to be.  Wish me luck!!!

Seriously contemplating thigh high boots

I know it’s so on trend, but I think they’ll add a lot of character to my (now boring) shoe collection.  Besides, I so desperately need boots, why not a whole lotta boot?!

SOFT & SEXY (Stuart Weitzman Thigh High Boots $675)

OR

WARM & COZY (Jimmy Choo Yam Thigh High Boot $675 - on sale!)

Decisions, decisions, decisions!!!

The Flat Life

I sprained my ankle pretty badly in early July, and I’m not allowed to wear heels for a while.  I’ve been told that my ankle will never feel the same again - is life as I know it really over?!  I’m dramatic, I know, but the world has been very different in flats.  I haven’t felt 100%.

I’ll have to make some major adjustments in the footwear department - more flats, more wedges, and only (sensibile) heels with a platform.  I’m also working on strengthening my legs as much as I can, I need as much support as possible.

I’ve been wearing these Cole Haan Dana Ballet Flats for the past two weeks.  They’re pretty comfortable, moderately priced ($148), and come in several colors.

The holiday season is approaching, which means SALE SALE SALE!  Saks kicked off with a 4-day teaser sale, offering tons of fall merchandise up to 40% off.  Prices go  back to normal tomorrow, but expect markdowns after Thanksgiving.  Check out some footwear finds from the Saks sale below.

Proenza Schouler T-Strap Sandals

I know it’s the wrong season, but I’d like these Proenza Schouler T-Strap Cutout Wedges in both black and “stella”.  They are practical, comfortable, and I like how they look on my feet.  Perfect summer wedges with cutoff denim shorts, and the neutral palette that I am beginning to adopt.

HE-LLO STUD! Part dominatrix, part rock and roll, 100% studded.  I know I talk about how much I love this shoe and that shoe, but these Givenchy studded heels are my all time favorite (and I’ve been here for 20+ years). I have a picture of them on my inspiration board, so I can admire them and drool everyday (no lie). It’s such a power shoe.
