Metallic Shoes

By -
Over a couple of fabulous martinis, becca and I were discussing how many people comment on our metallic shoes. (She has some gold heeled Frye booties and I have low heeled oxfords.) It's like they've never thought of gold or silver as belonging anywhere but on jewelry or a New Year's Eve dress. Not only do they snazz up an everyday jeans and tunic, but they can be used as party shoes too. (Yes, I would wear my oxfords to a party. I'm funky like that.) As you can see from my laments of craving below, metallics are my perfect shoe color.Top: silver cutout wedge, Jeffrey Campbell at Urban Outfitters $128 (Want!)
disc flat, Enzo Angiolini "Zella" on Endless $88.95
gold pump, Shellys of London at Mod Cloth $94.99
Bottom: pewter unicorn heels, Jeffrey Campbell "Michelle" at Nordstrom $119.95 (Still want!)
silver point toe flat, Cindy Says "Chill" on Endless $124.93 (Want!)
silver twist sandals copied from McQueen, N.Y.L.A. "Stern" on Endless $104.95
Top: faux oxford, Anthropologie $140

Bottom: gold slouch bootie, Irregular Choice "Amazing Grace" on Endless $112.09
bronze studded sandal, Jessica Simpson "Josephine" on Endless $128.95
silver pump with purple heel, Fergie "Amplify" on Piperlime $69.99 (Also want!)

That's a great selection of metallics! I have bronze sandles, gold flats and silver knee high boots (which I've having trouble styling). Metallics are such great neutrals.

Love the heels of the two pumps in the first image! The beauty's in the details. I wish they make more shoes with detailed beautiful heels instead of neglecting them...Have you noticed? most rip-off of designer shoes have similar design but scrap the detailed heels for generic ones?

possibly a dare/challenge: find gorgeous wearable shoes with beautiful, unique heels. possibly like this one: http://www.style.com/slideshows/standalone/trends/accessory_report/S2008RTW/110507ACCR/121m.jpg

Finding discounted ladies shoes is easy for those who are Internet savvy. Sure, you could hop in your car and sit in Sunday traffic to get to that weekend sale at your local sports store, but who wants to do that?

Skechers Shape-Ups make use of some solid science principles to facilitate weight loss. When you wear these shoes, it feels as if you are walking on sand which according to fitness experts contributes to getting in shape.

Retro Shoes

I love vintage shoes, but between the heavy wear and narrow fit, I have to indulge my wants with fabulous reproductions. Mary Janes, t-straps, peep toes, low heels. If it looks like it's from the 20s-50s, I'm there! I like to wear them with Victorian jewelry and funky outfit. How do you wear retro heels?
Top: pale green and beige t-strap, Seychelles "Pot of Gold" on Endless $89.95
polka dot sling back, Naughty Money "Dolled Up" at Nordstrom $64.95
gold mary janes, indigo by Clarks "Sateen' on Endless $100
Middle: black and cream open oxford pump, Miz Mooz "Symphony" on Endless $109.99

tri-color t-strap, Seychelles "Countdown" at DSW $69.95

Sweet Sleep Bra

I've been waiting Anthropologie's ruffled bra and panty set to go on sale. What it lacks in the sex appeal of Anya's retro ensemble, it makes up for in cute ribbons and ruffles. The set is available in cream and pink, rose and black, or grey and black, but I prefer the dark of the latter to offset the sweetness of the look. The bra was $58, which is silly for a cotton, wireless sleep bra, but the price has dropped to $29.95. That's at least worth thinking about. $30 for panties, however, is still laughable.

The Horror: Crochet Coverup

By -
Image
To be completely upfront, I'm not a fan of crochet anyway. It always reminds me of a hanging planter my mother preserved from the 70s. This crochet dress by All Saints may be cool layered over a body con dress, but it's absurd as a swimsuit coverup. First of all, it doesn't cover anything. Second, it will leave weird tan lines. Third, it's $75. You should know in the midst of your eye rolling that this $75 beach coverup is half off the original price of $150.
How do you feel about this item as a coverup vs. as a dress? How do you feel about crochet in general? What would you pay for a swimsuit coverup? (I wouldn't pay more than $10 for something fun at Goodwill.)
