Everything in SHOES

Some Spring in your Step

A perfect addition to a (mono-hued) sundress, but whatever you do, please don’t wear with anything else Lilly P. (Unless your name is Mitzy or Buffy, in which case, go for it.)
Lilly Pulitzer Flats $47.89*

Laura Poretzky’s Abaete has done another collection for Payless. Just one question: are they serious with these prices?
Sullivan Clutch, $18

Whales!

Not sure why I love whales so much. Oh yeah, I’m preppy. Whale stuff + Friday = happiness.
JCrew Wellies, $65

JCrew Socks, 3 pack $15

Vinyard Vines Sailor’s Belt, $39.50

Tom’s Shoes $38

Perfect for slipping on to walk to work (without looking like the aforementioned Melanie Griffith from Working Girl) or for pairing with shorts in the summer, Tom’s Shoes are simple and classic. And as you’ve probably already heard, for every pair they sell the company donates a pair to a child who needs them. […]

Bring on the Spring Showers

I’m featureing more flats. So sue me. My blog friend Sarah inspired me to troll ebay last month when she posted about a fabulous pair of vintage Sam and Libby bow ballet flats. (Huge surprise that I loved them.) Alas, I couldn’t find a pair, but I found these Esprit lovlies. […]

Ballet Beauties

I’ll never understand how gals gallivant around the city in 5 inch heels without revealing a trace of the discomfort they have to be experiencing. I love heels. On weekends or at any time I know I’m taking a cab. When I’m trekking a half mile to the subway in the […]

Gap Bow-Tie Peep-Toe Wedge $48

These pretty peep-toes will take you from winter (with opaque tights, perhaps?) to spring with ease. Or, be patient and snag them when they go on sale (they usually do at The Gap.) Then you can wear them in spring and summer. You’re flexible like that.

Old Navy Bow Ballet Flats $19.50

Recently, I came across a post on a fun blog that immediately evoked a familiar pang. It was shoe envy. The brilliant blogger found these amazing ballet flats on eBay. They’re Esprit, and I vaguely remember when they were popular the first time around. And while they’re no substitute, these […]
