Shoe Deaths

It has not been a good six months for me and my shoes. I have had quite a few die from old age. It was just time. I have many shoes that are just worn out and have loved a very long life. Sad to see some of them go! I have lost about 6 pairs in the past 6 months with 2 more failing now. I guess that is a good thing. The bad thing is that they decide to kick the bucket at odd times. Last weekend I was at church and all of a sudden I tripped as I walked. I did not fall down but as it turned out, the front sole of my left shoe decided to separate from the shoe itself. It began to flap down as I walked. Not good. Luckily I did not have much walking to do. I was able to get home and examine them. There was no hope. In the garbage they went. They were my favorite pair of black dress shoes! Now I need a new pair. In reality, I need several new pairs! That is good. I get to go shoe shopping!

What I do is kick them in the pants with a diamond buckled shoe! ~~Aileen Mehle~~

I'm a Little Slow...

I've never claimed to be the sharpest knife in the drawer but I've never really felt so stupid. It took me 2 months to "get" Tumblr. I don't know what it was that wasn't clicking, or if I just wasn't really trying, but I finally got it.

Since I'm pretty consumed with getting this new line off the ground I'll be posting to Tumbler in between blog posts. Just photos of the shoes I'm wearing and maybe shoes I'm seeing out and about. Quick little shots of, well, my life in heels... ;)

I hope you enjoy it- I think it will be fun and an easy way to share some fun fabulous (and maybe even not so fabulous) shoes! I share a lot of these on Twitter but I realize that a lot of you aren't Twitterers. I get it.

Loving Prada

These are some of my favorite new shoes that just came down the runway for Spring 2011...

I'm loving the wedges! The mixed materials are really cool.

I love the color combinations too. It's so great to see the return of color to footwear :)

These are SO cool! I love the green and black stripes. The shape of this pump is really sexy and feminine too...

These woven shoes are really sweet and sassy. They remind me of ladies that lunch or the Kentucky Derby.

Crazy colors Miuccia! Ai ai ai!

One Last Flat Post (For a While)

HELLO!! I've been in Mexico with my hunny bunny celebrating our anniversary so sorry for the silence. I'm back and excited for my spine shoes that are coming in any day now. They got stuck in customs but will hopefully be here Saturday. Fingers crossed!! I have the Emmys Saturday too so I'd like to have the option to wear them just in case I feel like being ultra fierce and perhaps looking like a tranny.

You guys are probably sick of flats so I promise I wont post flats for a while after today. You gotta admit these are pretty great though. Do I look tan?

There she goes with her crop top and vintage culottes again. I like what I like. What can I say.

Yes that's a bolo tie! Hey Wendy B... you like??

This outfit needs some OMG rings.

These are the white pair from Chloe that I was talking about in my other flat post. I love a good deal and I love Chloe so I totally won.

Hey Sneaky Girls!

I'm super excited for my friend and fellow shoe designer Seth Campbell!! His super hot sneaker line just hit Saks.com and got rave reviews. They made Page Six and are already a huge hit with celebs like Madonna, Miley Cyrus, Gwen Stefani, Fergie, Kristen Stewart and Drew Barrymore. 

I'm not a sneaker kinda girl but on the rare occasion that calls for a sneaker, I would be proud to be caught in UES. These two styles are my favorite... 

I just may have to get the snake ones. They're pretty amazing. :)

Flats are Shoes Too.

I know this is my life in heels and not my life in flats, but let's get real... certain occasions call for flats. Example? A birthday bbq!

I went shopping specifically to find some flats and knew I'd find something great on sale since all these crazy retailers have their Summer stuff on sale... EVEN THOUGH Summer has barely started. I will never understand that, but that's a whole different post.

I found these at Chloe and fell in love. They are my idea of a perfect Summer sandal. Soft buttery leather, the perfect shade of tobacco, and super comfortable too. The fact that they were 40% off was all the reason I needed to buy them, plus a similar pair in white.

I've really been into this cropped shirt thing and thought I'd give it a try. I had to pair it with these vintage high waisted shorts (culottes? haha) to make sure I didn't show too much belly. I'm not going for a '90s Britney Spears bare midriff thing.

Banksy likes my new shoes. He's checkin' um out.

I love this ring. I found it in Hong Kong and don't wear it nearly enough. Its coral enamel wrapped around to hold a coral shaped piece of glass.

Blackbird Singing in the Dead of Night

Aren't these great? They're definitely Givinchy-esque without looking like knockoffs. I liked them so much in fact, that I got them in 2 colors. You can find them HERE on Shopbop. :)

They're Joe's Jeans shoes, which I think are a brand new shoe brand. How exciting for them to get it right, right off the bat. Great shoes, great quality, and a great price point which is so important and getting harder to find.

I wore them yesterday while running some errands... AKA shopping.... and they were pretty comfy! Good thing since I got two, right. haha.

Is that a new bag, you ask? Why, yes. Yes it is. As you guys know I'm obsessed with Miu Miu's Spring/Summer collection so I had to get whatever I could from it. The runway shoes, the collar, and now the bag. I love her.

Vinyl printed with their sparrow design, the perfect shade of pink, and these cute little bows??? So great. So me!

And finally, the shoes in grey...

I don't often buy the same shoe in more than one color, but these are just the perfect shade of summer grey. And I feel like the shoes look totally different, don't you??

Me and My Madame Butterflies...

These are SO high, even by Louboutin's standards. I adore them and love the way the height looks. They're head turning and attention grabbing and everything a sexy shoe should be. LOVE them!! Even the name is great. Madame Butterfly.

What is it with dogs? They love being in pictures!

This is Tyson. He's Banksy and Stella's best friend. So handsome :)

These babies bring high to a new level...

Do they look familiar? They were the Marchesa runway shoes and were worn by a few different stars on the Met Gala's red carpet. I fell in love with them as soon as I saw them in the look book. They spoke to me ;) Just call me the shoe whisperer...

My new surprise favorite nail polish is this color I'm weraing- Turquoise and Caicos by Essie. So cute and Summery! I'm usually a red or pink kinda girl but I think this color is just adorable.

Flowers and Bunnies and Wedges, Oh My!

You guys know I love Spring. It's so full of pretty girly things like Spring flowers and baby bunnies popping out of mommy bunnies everywhere! Lots of pink and fluff and sunshine and new life... are you sick to your stomach yet?

So it's not surprising that I put two of my favorite Spring things together- flowers and bunnies, adding my other obvious favorite... NEW SHOES!!

(MORE AFTER THE JUMP)

Yay! I got them and I love them. They're super high yet mostly comfortable. The rubber bottom and cushy insole are so great. To go with my over-priced shoes I'm wearing all Forever21. I love my Fifi Lapin sweater so I was excited to see that she did more shirts for the brand for Spring.

I'm excited for warmer weather and cute girly clothes!

I wanna be like the Hang In There kitty...
