Pretty Small Shoes, Lu Lu Pump, Indy Pink Leather, size 34 with 8cm heel After my first pair of Pretty Small Shoes turned out to be too big, I re-ordered, this time a size smaller. This pair of size 34 fit nicely in the heel and along the sides, but need a bit of stretching in the toe box before I can comfortably wear them out. I also had to stretch the toe box of my size 5 Cole Haan grey suede shoes, which I find gives me a better fit in the…

…es and silks of Fall/Winter. Grey is also a great color because it’s a much more interesting neutral than black. These blend with grey work slacks, which does that whole leg lengthening effect when your pants match your shoes. When I wear jeans, I love a pop of color in my shoes, and the light grey against dark denim is a “poppy” way to do a neutral. Can you tell I’m in love with these shoes? Cole Haan grey suede pumps…

…she got to this point. From learning the hard way what size to wear, to discovering the following tools that have helped make my heels bearable (I dare say…in some cases, comfortable) to wear. Disclaimer – not all shoes can be rehabilitated with these tips, and some women’s feet, for whatever reason, refuse to wear heels without pain. These tips do not guarantee your shoes will feel like you’re wearing Air Jordans, but the…

Remember when I wrote about things that put a stupid grin on my face? These shoes are a new addition to that club. They are so completely unlike anything else I own, but I found myself so strangely attracted to them that I couldn’t resist. D’Orsay style blush-colored satin is toughened up with just the right kind of quirk, rose-toned spikes. They are glam, tough, and sweet at the same time, and put the dumbest smile on my face every …

A lot of commenters mentioned they liked my yellow shoes from this post last week, so I thought it would be fun to give them their 15 minutes of fame. Yellow shoes…get ready for your close up! These are Cole Haan Genevieve pumps, in size 5. I fell in love with these the first time I saw them online last year, but by the time I even knew they existed, they had already sold out in my size. =( Then, my lovely boyfriend went on a boy’s …

www.francosarto.com Franco Sarto shoes are great quality at a very affordable price point, not to mention they come in sizes 4 and 4.5! I like Franco Sarto for reliable work shoes (modest looking shoes that are good quality, so I can wear them to death) or for trendy styles that I don’t want to dish out designer shoe prices for. They run about the same price point as Nine West, but in my experience, are much better quality. Franco Sa…

… enough to keep and alter, and now I have a little summer-weight cream tweed jacket to play with. I’ll share the alterations in an upcoming post. Tweed jackets just look better with a brooch, don’t ya think? These shoes have been sitting around since 2009 (!) without being worn. I love them, but just couldn’t walk in them. The heel is 4 inches tall, which if the back isn’t form fitting to the heel of my foot, makes it very…
