Delia's 'Justina' Wedge in Purple $39.50

I’ve been looking at these shoes for literally months now, and I think I’ve been holding off due to the fact that I’m still not ready for a heel so high. Whether it’s an actual physical or purely mental block remains to be seen, but that’s another post. The cost has certainly been no deterrent, since for forty bucks I think these are adorable. They kind of fall into the category of the ‘Ugly Shoes’ I wrote about a while back, in that you can’t really tell if they cost ten bucks or a thousand bucks – at least from a distance anyway. If you order them, let me know how comfortable they are; until then, I’ll keep looking. (Sidebar: They also come in brown and red, which appear to be somehow cheesier than the purple, no…?)

Miss Trish of Capri for Target 'Lion' Sandals in Gold $29.99

Miss Trish of Capri for Target 'Starfish' Sandals in Red $29.99

Miss Trish of Capri for Target 'Flower' Sandals in Green Patent $29.99

I know – yet another designer for Target. They are however, procuring some good ones, the latest being a shoe collection from Miss Trish of Capri. Trish Carroll’s flagship store originated as a ‘cabana’ in the Hamptons, and was soon followed up by a second on-premise location at Frederic Fekkai in Beverly Hills; A third, on Worth Avenue in Palm Beach, followed shortly thereafter. The original line of sandals are well-made, classic, and evocative of jet set 1960′s socialites and screen sirens – think St. Tropez. Since I haven’t seen the Target line ‘in person’ (yet), I can’t vouch; What I can say is that it’s in keeping with the glamorous resort feel of the originals, embellished with jewels and sparkly undersea creatures. While the original line will run you somewhere in the ballpark of $250 to $500, the Target versions can be yours for just $29.99, and are available both in-store and online, from April 5th until June 14th.
