sis and I took our new shoes out for a spin tonight.

As you know, I am a huge fan of Bluff - I am wearing Bad Things above and you may recognize Achilles from an earlier post seen here

Mmmm size 9’s

“Among the more curious explanations proffered for the relative strength of shoe sales is that women — who make up the lion’s share of the American shoe market — get an emotional lift from shoe shopping in a way they do not when trying on jeans and cocktail dresses.” NYT

My newest addition to the collection. Aren’t they pretty?

Thanks to Ben for making this happen.

They already look right at home with the rest of ‘em (top shelf)

lots o size 9’s

Come to mama

I know what I like, and I like what I like. Especially when it comes to shoes.

I don’t typically follow trends because I would rather invest in something that will last. I am the first to admit that I never jumped on the over-the-knee boot bandwagon, and I have even verbally denounced this specific trend.

However… and this is  rare occurrence… I am now a converted over-the-knee advocate AND proud owner.

My size 9 feet are a tad disproportionate to my legs (thanks to my long phalanges, if you recall), so hunting for boots isn’t as pleasurable as I would like it to be. As I roamed heaven the shoe floor at Saks, I was cruising my red-bottomed options and uncharacteristically got a glimpse of something over on the Stuart Weitzman pad. Flat black leather over-the-knee boots with an elastic band down the back for optimal fit/comfort. Just for kicks (a pun?) I tried them on and immediately succumbed to the trend.

Factor in a friends & family discount and it was a done deal.

As a firm practicer/believer/lover of instant gratification, pre-sale is a bitch. The boots arrive on thursday.

my wool lanvin peep-toe pumps came out to play tonight.

as nervous as I am to wear my shoes on the streets of nyc, these little beauties took a ride on the subway, went shopping at food emporium, frolicked in the rain, and still made it home alive, phewww

Mel: So, what did you do in school today? Cher: Well, I broke in my purple clogs.

So, what did I do at work today?

Well, I broke in my brown suede Brian Atwood pumps
