Balenciaga Monk Strap Boots

Part of the reason I keep this blog going is so I can keep a sort of dream shopping list.  I like to think one day some good sameriatian will see this blog and buy me all the things I've written about in the last few years. Just let me dream, okay?  Until that happens, here's the next item on the list.
I would love to wear these booties all winter with boyfriend jeans and an oversized blazer.  

For those of you not concerned with the $1,375 price tag, you lucky a-holes can buy them here.

Oh My Ombre!

Do you like patent leather? Do you like suede?  Can't choose just one? Well, now you don't have to! The smart and fancy people who bring us Theyskens' Theory and Maison Martin Margiela took these two leather delights and said "Hey, lets put them both on one shoe!".  I'm pretty sure that's how the conversation went.

I'm captivated by the spread of ombre into our lives.  What other recent trend has spread from clothing to hair and now to foot wear?!  These shoes are one more way you can show the world how much you enjoy the gradation of one color/fabric/hair tone to another.

Margiela brogues available on Lagarconne.

Theskyns Theory platforms available on Net-a-Porter.

Can I Get Married Again So I Can Wear These Shoes?

It's so unfair that happily married people only get to have one wedding! I know, I could renew my vows or whatever but when has that ever not been super lame? Well, if there was a way I could have another wedding without getting divorced or doing an icky vow renewal I would wear these Valentino shoes. Don't you feel so much better knowing this about me? I know I do for sharing it.

These beauties can be found on Net-a-porter for $1,250.

Balenciaga Lust.

Greetings! If anyone is reading this, I'm picking up where I left off with The Tonnish. And if you no is reading I will consider this a love letter to the Universe and maybe they will bring me these shoes.

I have loved Balenciaga for years, the brand has just the right amount of glamour and tomboy toughness that I aspire to cultivate. Currently, I am trying to finagle a way to add these two pairs of sweet kicks to my closet. The beige gladiator sandals are the perfect everyday summer sandal. And the high tops are just so sweet I can barely contain myself. Imagine them with skinny jeans now and then half of the SP2010 Alexander Wang collection when it gets a little warmer.

Both available at Barney's online and in store.

Grey Boots Make My Heart Go Beat Beat

If boots were made for walking then these grey wonders were made for stalking.  I love grey because it is as versatile as black, but adds a bit more depth to an all black ensemble.  Plus suede makes you remember how fun it is to embrace all the different textures Fall allows. Which makes me not as depressed about the end of my favorite steamy season.
