Heat And Feet

Monday, July 26th, 2010

When you’ve been friends for thirty years, it doesn’t matter how hot it is…

…especially when there is shoe shopping involved.

Although when we were twelve, we might not have guessed that some would look like this…

…and even though she thinks I look like Joan Collins in my Pucci sun hat, I am never better than when we are together.

Forgive me as I am ever so slooowly re-immersing myself back into my ‘real’ life (dog puke anyone?). Have I mentioned that I’m not amazing with transition…? With kindergarten, haircuts, and uniforms on the back burner (for now), historically one of the first things I do upon retuning to my hometown, is ditch the kids, jump into the car with my mom (the best shopper on the planet for about sixty different reasons) and head to the local Loehmann’s.

The sale was on, and the discounts were gorgeously deep. I tried to focus more on my day-to-day ensembles, rather than shopping for all those amazing nights out that usually only happen in my head. I think I did okay, save for the impractical Pucci beach tote that I just couldn’t pass up ($120 down about seven times from a ludicrous $715 – WTH?!), and The Steve Madden (WTH x 2, since I usually cannot stand SM) platforms that I still think are kind of slutty. Regardless, they make my fat feet look cute as do the gladiators, so there. Oh, and the chandelier earrings! (Mine are, incidentally, all clear stones.) On second thought, not such a stellar job on the day-to-day wear. At least I managed to eek out some jeans and tees, but boy will those slutty shoes look hot in a parallel universe…

Cutest. Sandals. Ever.

'Cara' Bow Sandals in Pink $32

'Cara' Bow Sandals in Pink $32

I want to eat these. They remind me of cake. Super girly I know, but there is that part of me that likes all things pink, frilly, and sparkly, like a magpie. I came across this totally weird website called Yes Stylevery hit or miss, so don’t say I didn’t warn you – but worth a look nonetheless. Not only do they show you the item, if you scroll down there’s a whole ‘gallery’ of images of it shown as part of an outfit, on an actual human being, in about fifteen random poses. Again, weird, but surprisingly helpful when speculating about how something will look ‘on’. Not to mention the price is so right. Now, do I really need another pair of shiny flat sandals? No, but you might.

LOVE. There really isn’t much more to say. In a sea of gladiators and platforms, these modern sandals stand alone. I adore the idea of suede for summer (get over it) combined with colors so mouth-wateringly deep and vibrant. They just feel really clean and new to my eye, not to mention they’re comfortable, versatile (dresses and jeans), and affordable. These are just my faves, but be sure not to miss the other simple yet stunning styles at maraisusa.com.
