Back in the saddle

Posted on March 16, 2011 | Leave a comment

It’s been a long long time since my last posting. What can I say? A new job and getting married last year meant something had to give. I still shopped a ton, I just didn’t blog about it. But I’m back, baby!

Today I’m feeling indignant on the behalf of Manolo Blahnik. Just look at this cheap knock of Sedaraby produced by Steve Madden!

Cheap Knock Off, Way to go Steve Madden

Seeing as how the real deal were my wedding shoes, I just think it’s wrong.

Full disclosure, I was totally into a pair of White House Black Market shoes that were clearly a Jimmy Choo knock off, but I just don’t have that loyalty to the Choo, I guess. Sorry, buddy.

wedding shoe redux

I just can’t figure it out. How do you choose just one pair of shoes?

My dress is simple and elegant and beautiful. A chiffon, grecian-inspired, drapey, strapless, sweetheart neckline gown. The bridesmaid dresses are wearing a Lotus (purple) Maggy London chiffon one shoulder dress. I’m also wearing a silver and diamond necklace that my grandma wore in her wedding, and a pair of sapphire and diamond earrings that were also my grandma’s.

So, I have purple, blue, silver…but I keep looking at gold shoes. Can you do that?

These are technically “Steel,” and I really like them.

But I also love:

These Stuart Weitzmans
This could potentially be the right purple
Or this purple
I’ve had my eye on these for forever
And d’Orsay peep toe pumps, particularly by Jimmy Choo, are irresistible.

Sigh. Well, they’re at a wide variety of price points. I guess that’s a good thing.

What I Want Wednesday – an exciting look alike

Posted on January 6, 2010 | 1 Comment

I’ve been in love with these Jimmy Choos for a very long time. I love the keyhole, I love the back zip on the heel and the way that that will keep your foot firmly in place. I do not love the price so much.

Stumbled across these today, and I think they’re an awesome representation of most things I loved about the Jimmy Choos, and at 1/20th the price! Plus, a much more wearable, versatile black.
