Saturday Shoelust

I’ve been lusting after these since I saw them on Zoetica. The cut of the boot is super flattering to shorties like me, who don’t want the unfortunate tree-trunk-leg effect, and I know JUMP shoes are well made and comfortable. By the time they went on deep clearance (I think $40?) at the end of [...]

Saturday Shoe Lust: Wedge Edition

Wedges & especially wedge boots seem to be everywhere this season; here’s two of my favorites:
These ankle boots, for lack of a better term, are gorgeous. I love the stud detailing & the huge heel. I’m not sure if I’d actually buy and wear them, if for no other reason than they seem to be [...]

Saturday Shoe Lust: Boots Edition

A Shoe Sale of Amazonian Fluevogian Proportions!

So, if I’ve learned anything, it’s that every time I discover a new brand or find a shoe I like, I should immediately search for it on Amazon. Frequently the better price will be somewhere else, but just as frequently, Amazon has a rock-bottom price. Another tip: It’s definitely worth watching the item for a [...]

Daily Outfit 5/24/09 + News!

I am not so hot right now, as Alicia and I went to take a few photos, in which I was wearing my new shoes shown below. As it turns out, jumping around in near-four-inch heels is NOT a good idea – I took a nasty tumble and my ankle started swelling almost immediately. Urgh. [...]

DIY’d tank, vintage ring and necklace, Elie Tahari skirt, Fluevog shoes (told you they look cuter on!)

Yup, I need to paint my toenails! They’re really comfy too, as far as the height goes – the leather around the toes needs stretched out a bit.
I’m excited about this week – have a lot of great stuff [...]
