lambcamden.jpg

Lovely, lovely, lovely - that’s what I think about the beautiful ‘Camden’ shoe from L.A.M.B.

Yellow was the “It” color for summer and it looks as though that hasn’t changed for Fall. I love the more golden shade of these peep toe bootie pumps, it really is a beautiful shade for the season. $430.95 @ endless.

You’ll be ready to conquer the world in these pumps from Michael Kors! Alexandra is the feminine form for Alexander, and perhaps they had this in mind whilst naming these commanding shoes! While not battle ready, they are great for the office and sexy enough to wear out after hours. The ‘Alexandra’ will surely lead to many great exploits & conquests!!  $153 @ zappos.

Rate them even if you hate them!!

Don’t you just love it when your new pair of super cute shoes arrive at your door? I know I do - and Saturday’s delivery brought me this pair of undeniably lovely flats by Jeffrey Campbell! I really adore everything about them.

I’d been looking for a cute black flat to wear with this great new handbag I’d just snagged on sale at Macy’s a few weeks ago - and the ‘Flipped’ flats from Campbell are perfect!! Not only are they the perfect style & color, the “Black Snake” leather is gorgeous.

I found them at Solestruck.com - which has a wonderful variety of shoes from brands like Seychelles, Rocket Dog, Irregular Choice, Camper, and Betseyville just to name a few. You should head over and check out their selection, they run a fabulous shop.

Shipping was fast and returns are a breeze (my first pair were a bit snug, so an exchange was necessary).

Back to the ‘Flipped’ flats, they are available in the lovely “Black snake”, as shown here, as well as a TDF “Fuchsia snake”, “Brown snake”, and a lovely “Turquoise snake”. $74.95 @ solestruck.

L.A.M.B. Gala Braided Sandals

I took a mini vacation this past week and besides getting into the city for the Taste of Chicago Festival, playing at six flags, and generally wearing myself ragged trying to keep up with the kids, I’ve become a polyvore addict!

Until this past week I was satisfied to browse the sets others had created, then for some reason this past weekend I decided to register and make a few sets.

I’m officially addicted!

Normally I only post pics of shoes, but I’m breaking tradition today to share one of my sets and point out the L.A.M.B. sandals. They are so hot and I just adore the green. You can grab a pair for $329 @ zappos.

Well, I’ve taken the first step and admitted I have a problem. Not that it will help me stop polyvoring anytime in the near future!

You can check out all of my sets if you like - Please comment, subscribe, and add me as a contact!

Can you believe it’s time to start buying shoes for Fall? I don’t know if I’m ready to even think about it! I’m still obsessing over all of the great SALES & bargains I’m seeing on summer sandals.

Yet, time waits for no woman - and Fall shoes are arriving at all our favorite online boutiques. I just adore these Wooden Heel Mary Jane-ish pumps from Marc Jacobs. Isn’t the aged nappa leather startlingly beautiful? $445 @ yoox.

Calvin Klein Sala (Silver Metallic) Summer Sandal

calvin-klein-sala.jpg

I really like this sandal from CK! It is just a flat out great summer slip on. You can dress it up or down. It works with shorts, capri’s, sun dress or even with a cute summer mini. The silver is my favorite but it’s also available in black. $70 @ zappos.

A Thong Hot Summer


thongs2.jpg

If you caught my flip-flop post the other day, you’ll know I began talking about the difference between thongs and flip flops, with the primary difference being price & materials. Even though the general construct of the two is the same, thongs always are made with more substantial and generally more natural materials and it is reflected in their price.

In addition to these two very evident differences there is also the fact that thongs generally have some type of heel, even if it is a mere 1/10 of an inch.

I’ve noticed many shoe stores referring to them as “Thong Sandals” lately, but in my mind, if they don’t have a strap around the ankle or some type of closure on the back they aren’t really sandals.

My favorite Thongs from around the web:

  1. Juicy Couture ‘Leora’ Thongs - Simply sweet thong with tonal sequins for sparkle appeal! Leather upper & lining. Metallic leather sole with ‘Smells Like Couture’ detail. 3/8″ heel. $139 @ zappos.
  2. CLAUDIO MERAZZI black leather flower thongs $124 @ yoox.
  3. Stuart Weitzman ‘Artclass’ - Adorn your feet with these elegant thong sandals. Available in soft patent or metallic nappa leather with Swarovski® crystal accents. Leather lining. Leather sole. Made in Spain. $285 @ zappos.
  4. Giuseppe Zanotti I80102 (Birel Moro) - Simply stunning, this gorgeous jeweled thong sandal belongs in your collection. Leather upper. Leather lining. Leather sole. Made in Italy. $654 @ zappos.
  5. Vince Camuto Women’s ‘Brandy’ Flat - Vibrant, bold and oh-so-feminine, the Brandy from Vince Camuto is a pretty and practical flat that you’ll want to live in this season. Featuring eye-catching stone accents, a strappy design and leather lining for durability and breathability, this lovely slip-on thong adds elegance to casual styles, and is still glamorous enough for flowy skirts and dresses. $109.95 @ endless.
  6. Ellen Tracy® button-tab thongs - An easy and comfortable slip-on style with a leather button detail over washed canvas straps. Leather upper embossed with a crocodile pattern. Contrast stitch detail along outsole. Lined. Rubber sole. Slight hidden elevation. $79.00 @ jjill.com.
  7. Raffia Palm Thongs $258.00 @ anthropologie.
