GOT IT! Marc Fisher Tweed Spectator Peep Toes

Love at first sight! I purchased these peep-toed tweed pumps with spectator detailing last Friday. I have a couple hours to kill after work before going out with some girlfriends so I decided to stroll through the Eaton Center.

I found these at SEARS of all places! I never shop there! It always seems like such a run down bland store to me (they're due for a branding overhaul, no?) but I had to walk through it to get to the rest of the mall. I happened to glance down as I passed the shoe department and these caught my eye.



They're by a brand called Marc Fisher and most of their heels are approx. $90-130CDN. These babies are the "Maddison" and retailed $109.99 but I got them for $54.99 and no tax. A quick calculation...$54.99 = S x 1.13 >> $54.99 / 1.13 = S >> S = $48.66!!

Conclusion? I got these babies for less than $50!!

Peep toe, slight platform, charcoal tweed, patent leather and under $50 befoe tax??.....sounds like shoe-heaven to me!

So. Enough about me. What did you buy this weekend?

Jaws

I am in love with the work of Camilla Skovgaard, who has really blown up in the last few years. Although she's a relative newcomer into the "IT" group of high end shoes, her circum vitae is quiet impressive.

Did you know she moved to Dubai at the age of 20 to design shoes for Sheikhs' wives and daughters for 7 years? And Saks Fifth Avenue picked up her first collection while she was still a student at the Royal College of Art in London?

Her esthetics are along the same lines as Ann Demeulemeester, Rick Owens, and Jil Sanders. Very architectural and futuristic. But at the same time, she has a very distinct style. With the exception of a few basic stilettos and flats, her "saw" soled shoes are so unique and instantly recognizable.

Monsieur Louboutin's Got You Covered

I picked out these beautiful shoes on Polyvore only to realize I flanked the two middle ones with four pairs of Christian Louboutins.

Clearly, Monsieur Louboutin's got this situation covered. As for my toes? Only sometimes. I broke a pair, I hurt wearing another, and I need to get new heels hammered onto the third. This Louboutin, he is high maintenance, is he not?1) Christian Louboutin Sexy 100 Peep-toe Patent Leather Pumps
2) Loeffler Randall Paige Criss-Cross Sandals
3) Christian Louboutin Sexy Strass 100 Crystalized Stilettos
4) Christian Louboutin Lucifer Bow Stilettos
5) Giuseppe Zanotti Chrome Sandals
6) Christian Louboutin Fifi Pumps

These Shoes Were Made For Walkin'

I know heels are a must-have fashion accessory and what most fashionistas have a closet overflowing with but they don't make the top of my list. I do have quite a few pairs myself, but when it comes down to it, I wear flats far more than heels.

They're a lot more practical and comfortable especially, like me, your main mode of transportation are your two little feet. The right pair can look stylish without trying to hard whereas hobbling around like a penguin (that's me + heels + a few hours!) just isn't going to inspire anyone.

Here's a few of my picks from the classic (Lanvin and Repettos) to the crazy (are those Louboutin flats or torture devices?!)

Counterclockwise L-R:

1) Repetto Classic Ballerina Flats
2) Tory Burch Reva Lizard Print Flats
3) Christian Louboutin Studded Pigalle Flats
4) Stella McCartney Emerald Lace Flats
5) Marc Jacobs Love Mouse Flats
6) Sigerson Morrison Suede T-Strap Flats
7) Lanvin Embellished Satin Flats
8) Lanvin Bronze Metallic Flats
9) Christian Louboutin Pigalle Patent Leather Flats

Wedding Dress(es) - Check! Wedding Shoes - To Be Continued...

Went on a shopping trip south of the border this weekend. Tried two bridal shops and didn't find a dress I was even remotely interested in. Went to Saks and BCBG and came out with two dresses! Both are floor length white gowns which is perfect for my destination wedding at the Paradisus Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic next May.

I will be wearing one for the actual beach ceremony and the other next day for our "Trash the Dress" session. Haven't decided which is for which so it may be a last minute decision.

Now that the dress(es) have been purchased, I'm on to shoes of course! I'm wavering beside turquoise to match my wedding color OR bright red, the Chinese color for good luck, happiness, and everything else a newlywed wishes for.

These Valentino low-heeled bow pumps are a major contender. They come in a higher heel but this is perfect for dancing all night long.



I have a feeling the shoes will be more difficult to decide on than the wedding dresses!
