Shoe 8: Rag & Bone Classic Newbury in Metallic Crinkle

Rag & Bone has created their signature boot in the "Classic Newbury" which you can find in almost any color and textile for the season. I have seen them in black leather, green suede, dark silver metallic crinkle and even flower patterened. There is a Newbury for every woman. When I tried these on in Nordstrom I was with my mother looking at shoes. She is in her mid 5os and was in LOVE with these...She has the same size foot as me but with many more years of wear and ballet she has trouble finding comfortable shoes that don't squeeze her bunion. Of course she thinks I am crazy for the height of many of my heels, so when she saw me trying on these 3" heels she had to try them for herself. She couldn't believe how comfortable they were, how well they fit her foot all around and although we have vaslty different shaped feet I agreed that their comfort and shape were perfect for my foot ... I think we have found the universal ankle bootie! 

With all the choices out there its easy to pick the Classic Newbury in black leather or burgundy suede even the neutral, but I was shopping right before the holidays, feeling festive and embracing the world one foot in front of the other, so I chose the Rose Gold Metallic Crinkle. Rose Gold can be a tough color but I have started seeing it as the new neutral, and these are much easier to match than my rose gold studded jeffrey campbells . You can find them still in stores at Neiman Marus and Nordstrom but the rosegold can be hard to find.

You will be surprised to see how I dress these up and down for all occassions ... now I just have to figure out which pair to bestow upon my mother ...and the next to get myself ;)

Shoe 7: Christian Louboutin Lady Daffodil (160mm) in peachy pink suede

Ahhh, behold, Christian Louboutin's Lady Daffodil 160mm Mary Jane pump mmmmm. These are just delicious. I have a few pairs of Louboutin's in my collection, but these had to be the first I presented to you because they are one of Louboutin's most popular and comfortable lasts (shoe constructions) . The Daffodil and Lady Daffodil (the difference is the pump vs mary jane pump) which also come in peep toes, are just a staple in any girls closet. Since they come in so many different fabrics and colors there really is a Daffodil for everyone! Louboutin makes shoes from size 34-42 which is rare ... its unfortunate that they don't make bigger sizes but its nice to see a company that accommodates petite feet! Although I am still pursuing a pair of Daffodils in Black or Nude (patent leather, or kid leather) because those are the true staple ... I chose this peachy pink which they call "rose" suede because they were just so PRETTY. 

The day I bought these it was my first time in the West Hollywood Boutique on Robertson and with the help of Brian (the most handsome and helpful shoe salesman) I tried on a few different pairs that tickled my fancy but I kept going back to the "Lady Dafs" reminding myself that I really needed to add some more color to my collection and pink is something I don't have much of. I continued to give myself a million good reasons to get them until I was walking out the door with a Louboutin 20th anniversary bag in my hands and a pair of rose suede lady daffodils on their way home with me. 

I can't wait for you to see how I wear them, casually, "to the office" and in a classicly fashionable holiday way ;) 

 

Enjoy!

Shoe 6: L.A.M.B. Dorrie Peep Toe Ankle Boot

A few years ago I wouldn't have been caught dead wearing peep toe booties. I thought the concept was an oximoron and I wanted nothing to do with it. But a fan of mine changed my mind and I am so happy he did. I should have introduced peep toe booties with those but unfortuantely you can't find them anymore ...but these very awesome leopard print peep toe booties are still available on Amazon, Zappos and a few other sites. I pair these booties with 3 very different looks including with jeans, army shorts and a babydoll style dress.. You won't want to miss this.
