This Week in Shoes

Unintentionally, this week’s installment of ‘This Week in Shoes’ seems to be rather health focused. So cheers to happy, healthy, and safe feet!

Neiman Marcus Last Call Clearance

The Neiman Marcus Last Call Clearance Sale is in its early days, and yes, I suggest you get in there early and grab it while you can. Sizes are limited, of course, so you’d better hurry!

I love these Pedro Garcia low-heeled peep-toe gold pumps with crystal detailing, now $149 (down from $425):

These adorable Tapeet satin Mary Janes have always been one of my favorites, and now they’re on sale, $114, down from $360: 

I’ve coveted these Loeffler Randall metallic silver distressed leather flats all season long, and now they’re finally on sale, $126 down from $360, but alas, only in a size 8:

Finally, I’ve admired the models of this new up-and-coming designer, Alejandro Ingelmo, especially his beautifully and loosely woven strappy sandals with metallic piping and timeless, sophisticated appeal. Now they’re actually affordable, with this classic black sandal only $138, down from $395:

Happy bargain shopping, shoe lovers!

Seasonal lust: Loeffler Randall tall boots

I don’t know how YOU deal with your shoe obsessions, but here’s what I do: come the new season I usually form an uncanny attachment to a pair of shoes/boots/sandals/whatever, over which I salivate obsessively and whose picture I admire at least three times a week (what, it burns calories, I’ve heard), just to saturate my eyes with what, at that moment in time to me, is sheer perfection.

The time has come for me to start lusting, therefore, after these Loeffler Randall Maltide tall boots, in cuoio ($695 at Neiman Marcus):

Oh. My. God. Breathtaking, simple, beautiful, elegant lines, modest wedge heel, splendid color, gorgeous leather (excuse me while I wipe off the drool, it’s getting hard to type over here).

Ahem.

What’s your shoe obsession this season? Do share!

Embarras de richesses

There are so many good shoe sales going on right now, girls, I can’t even begin tell you. But here’s one place you have got to to visit: Plaza Too sales–fabulous deals on the likes of Loeffler Randall, Sigerson Morrison,  Kate Spade, Lambertson Truex, and many others. This beautiful Loeffler Randall ‘Camille’ silver platform sandal is only $159, down from $495, for example. Not too shabby at all, n’est ce pas?

Loeffler Randall Shoes: Yellow Delight

I’ve always loved Loeffler Randall shoes–they’re effortlessly chic and breathtaking, with a perfect sense of proportion and just the right amount of detail to raise an interested and jealous eyebrow from just about any fashionista passing you by. These yellow flat sandals are simply a delight, making a seamless transition between day and evening summer wear. The Mazzy sandal is also available in a black-gold-pink combo; it is $325 for pre-order at Plaza Too.
