a pop of pink


When I was about 10 I really wanted to be a cheerleader-give me these pom-poms any day! Aren't these lovely?! The lines are delicate and simple. Joy.

wearing muppets on your feet


So I am out to lunch the other day with my dear friend and the woman behind me is wearing these on her feet. In her defense, hers were black. She was wearing them with one of those velour lounge outfits from Victoria's secret with gold writing on her behind. She was also sporting a black velvet headband with a bow. Lets start at the top. I occasionally pull a Blair and wear headband but a headband (especially one with a bow) is a lot of accessory for a grown-up and everything else you are wearing had better be understated. Second- those lounge outfits are called that for a reason- they are for lounging and no adult should ever leave the house with anything written on her behind. Especially when said lounge outfit is tucked into a pair of Muppets. What did the Muppets ever do to you?! I personally boycott anything made out of a delightful children's character as a matter of conscience.

feeling a little wild


I love these- I want to create an evening out just so I can wear them. I know I would feel VERY sexy and just a little bit wild. Who doesn't want to feel that way every once in a while?

must-have


The lines on these Calvin Kleins are simply perfect. They are a staple, you must have a shoe like this in your closet- they come in black but you all know how I feel about metallics.

belated


OK- so I know I sort of disappeared last week. That toe surgery turned out to be a little bigger deal than I was expecting plus I had all that family and needless to say the blog fell by the wayside. Sorry. So to make it up to you we will continue the open-toed theme this week. Also this week I have decided to add a new feature to the blog. It will be labeled " what not to wear". I just see to many absolutely crazy things that people wear in public to not make snotty comments about it on my blog. Look for the new feature tomorrow. Happy New Year and have a great week!

back view


These are simply delightful- I love the open back and the always welcome bow detailing.

annie, get your gun!


Calvin Klein knows his way around a shoe. Let's be frank- the man has a pefect sense of line and balance. As evidenced by these-plus I love almost anything in that gunmetal color.

on fire


LOVE these! The color and snakeskin texture have me swooning as I write. Truly lovely.

a little fresh air


I am having toe surgery this morning. For several weeks my poor little piggies will be quite swollen. To accomodate them, this week we will celebrate the open-toed shoe.

my fair flat


Remember that scene in My Fair Lady when Audrey Hepburn goes to the horse race in that unbelievable black and white outfit with the fabulous hat? That's what these remind me of, but they are appropriate for lots of places besides fancy horse races.

Lovely tall boots all tied up with a bow? Perfect.

Oh, but I do! These are absolutely delightful! Love the two tone palette and the perfect lines make me swoon.

dying for spring


Oooooo- aren't these lovely! My toes would be purple with cold if I wore them now but it would be totally worth it.

my favorite adornment


You all knew it was coming. This week my obsession with bows will rear it's pretty head. Am quite excited.

en pointe


Don't these totally feel like toe shoes plus a high heel? They totally feed my need to play ballerina and elongate my leg all at the same time.

romantic rust


You all know how I feel about a great bow and the delicious color of these make them oh, so desirable.

bronze age

It's velvet ribbon again, but isn't it delightful! These would make your feet feel fancy no matter what you paired them with. Love them.

boudoir baby


OK- so technically these are mostly satin, but the ribbon is velvet and the luxe, feminine flavor is perfect for the spirit of this week.

These have a sultry, oriental feel to them that I adore. Very sexy, in a flat.

the final touch



Ooooo-aren't these delightful! Must find a fancy party or wedding to wear them to-must! May have small obsession with bows....

velvet underground


Yesterday Amber wore lovely velvet peep toes to church. They are perfect for this festive season and I was inspired-and so we have velvet week.

green with envy-shoe of the week


I have lusted after a classic Tory Burch ballet flat for many a month now. They are, quite simply, the perfect ballet flat. And they come in this delightful green. Still working out a plan to get a pair...

green mamba

I really had no idea that there would such fun things this week. I really want these to wear with my lbd to Christmas parties. The perfect unexpected, and yet seasonal, touch.

apple dumpling gang


Aren't these adorable. If you, like me, live in a place with only minor amounts of snow you could totally wear them on those nasty, slushy days. If you hail from colder climes, you should buy them for spring- they're on sale!

peeping at a croc


Talk about a fabulous animal print! I had no idea that all you needed to make a croc sexy was a peep toe.

mj loves green


The mottled finish on these is so interesting and non-boring! I also am quite fond of this modern take on the mary jane.

letting the moss grow


These look soft and comfy and effortlessly chic. Love the tassel detail and the delightful moss color. (Also a fab price)

ever green- theme of the week


I put up my Christmas tree this week and what with the pines boughs and all I am feeling rather fond of green. It's a lovely punch of color on an otherwise dreary day.
