Everything in SHOES

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 […]

La Redoute Leather Ballet Flats $34.99*

Ballet flats are a simple staple in my life. I hoard collect them like some people collect passport stamps or matchbooks.
I might forgive myself for not stocking up when Gap had them on mega sale, but I’ll never truly forget. Althought they’re not as much of a bargain, the price still lends itself […]

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.

Urban Outfitters Cable Knit Slipper $7.99*

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Like chocolate ice cream, dogs, and CSI reruns, pom-poms make everything just a little bit better.
*Down from $16.

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 […]

Wilson’s Leather Jenny Wedge $49*

These wedges from Wilson’s Leather fall nicely into the “pleasant shopping surprise” category. What’s Wilson’s leather, you ask? Exactly. The leather upper and wood-grain bottom kicks are perfect for fall — wear them with trousers or a wool skirt. I love (shopping) surprises.
*Down from $68.

Target Solid-Rubber Rain Boots $19.99

As much as bright bees or colorful stripes on a passing pair of wellies cheer me up on a rainy day, sometimes a solid fits the bill. Pull on these matte-red rubber boots over opaque cream-colored tights and a cute skirt and save the bees for your umbrella. While the suckers in stilettos […]

La Redoute Suede Boots $29.99*

Maybe you’ve been wanting to try the slouchy-boot-look for a little while, but feared you might not be able to pull it off. You’re so — what’s the word? — preppy. (We’re speaking hypothetically here, people.) Well this is your lucky day. These La Redoute suede boots are easy enough […]
