I know, it is August, but fall is right around the corner, and it is time to think about shopping for fall. The one thing I love about fall is the fact that I can break out my boots again. I really love my boots. As much as I enjoy summer, and flip flops and sandals and espadrilles, boots and non-open toed heels are lovely as well. There is nothing like a wrap dress and a pair of kick #@^%*! boots. I’ll miss summer. We have had a lovely summer filled...
I have spent the whole summer in an espadrille, practically, that I have forgotten how lovely a simple pair of sandals are. Like these. Dressed up or dressed or dressed down, a pair of sandals goes with anything. And while espadrilles says summer 2011, sandals say classic, anytime. I'm not ready to hang up my espadrilles just yet. I do love them with the wooden heel and the strappy top, but I do not feel that it is a trend that will last forever. If I was going to...
There are pair of shoes I have been lusting after for months. I host a regular feature on my personal blog called Shoe Friday, where readers send me pictures of shoes and I post them. A reader sent me a picture of a pair of shoes she bought, and since then want does not even describe my feelings towards them. Months later, a reader tagged me on my Facebook page, telling me that the shoes were on sale in the Georgetown Boutique of Kate Spade. And she bought a pair. And...
It is not even August yet and already we are talking about back to school shopping. And the chore I hate more than any other chore is shoe shopping for my son. He has the hardest to fit feet and we have to go to the one specialty shoe store in DC and wait for about a million and a half years to have his feet sized. One year I cried because the owner looked at me and said "I don't think I have shoes in the store to fit this child." Good times. For those...
Last time I wrote about expensive shoes that I lust after. But I like affordable shoes too. I just found a great pair of shoes at Old Navy. They were $10 and I wear them all the time. They key is to be on the look out at places you normally wouldn't expect to find shoes. $40 for espadrilles? In pink? Yes, please. And how about these adorable sandals for $20? $80 for women's work flats may not seem affordable, but $80 for a comfortable shoe you can wear...
You ever lust after a pair of shoes? Just me? Shoes are so not in my budget right now. We just bought a car and the last thing I need are shoes. But I still want shoes. Especially pretty, expensive shoes that I have no need for. Like these: Exactly how many pairs of black pumps can one person have? Or these? I actually do not own denim peep toe shoes. I’m not sure I have a need for denim peep toe shoes, but...
My son started camp this week, and here is what I learned. We lose something at camp every single day. The first day we lost the BRAND NEW PAIR OF CROCS I JUST BOUGHT HIM. At my son's camp they swim twice a day so they need two swim suits, two towels, two swim shirts, sunscreen, a lunch box, a water bottle, a hat, and pool shoes. Guess if all this has made it home every day? Go ahead, just guess? Guess who feels like they live at Target? Guess who is never...
My 6 year old starts camp next week and his camp has very specific shoes rules. Closed toes. Closed heels. No Crocs, unless to and from the pool, No sandals, unless they abide by the rules listed above. But, it is a million degrees in DC all summer and my kid's feet sweat, and stink. So I like to find shoes that are closed toe but also breath and he can run around in. And how about theese, for girls? I know, they are not pink and flowery but...
I am spending the day today car shopping. While this would excite some people, I am not one of those people. I don't even like cars, and I don't have any interest in a car payment again. But my 8 year old VW has bit the dust and I really, really need a car. So car shopping it is. Do you know what I wish I was shopping for? Yep, shoes. Because they are pretty. And cheaper. But sadly they are not going to get me where I need to go, so car it is....
I'm taking a break from shoes this week, I know!, to talk dresses. I really want some fun, summer, and flirty dresses for the summer. Not work clothes, but casual, lightweight dresses you can wear running around town. It is has been approximately a million degrees in DC this week, and I want to wear as little clothes as possible. Or never go outside at all. Maxi dresses are the in style this year, and I do not own one. Like this one. or, if you prefer...
