thinking happy thoughts

Under two feet of snow I’m snuggled up with the latest W and my French lessons. I am hoping beyond hope that sales are good this weekend and that we will be able to cover some ground as we barrel towards end-of-season, despite this crazy weather. I guess we will have to wait until Monday to find out how super Super Saturday was.

So, in the meantime, I am thinking happy thoughts and imagining a warmer time and pedicures.

from top: 1. Miu Miu shoes, with or without rhinestone embellishments. Below is a thumbnail of my favorite pair from Resort. I may have to send this on over to the ladies at Bluff; would love to see some jeweled shoelery! 2. I love these Fendi shoes but practically speaking I don’t think I could pull off the 7-inch heel and the lucite is muito Miami. What I am more interested in are the Chanel tights from the barnyard show; a similar pair is currently available at Wolford. 3. I adore the seasonless look of the Diors and how they are paired with cute little socks. Need. Wedges!! 4. This spring I am finally ready to wear the man’s shoe because my favorite brand, Dieppa-Restrepo, is coming out with a more open shoe, the Dina and the Breezy Cali (below l-r). Now I just have to wait for the snow to melt.

needs more mirrors

How could I overlook these? Party-ready mirrored Giuseppe Zanotti boots (modified by Luxirare) can be yours for the low price of $3840. Hey, it’s cheaper than lipo!

off with our legs

That fairymale at the Rodarte sample sale was right — feet are becoming superfluoussss!!!!

Shoes are, like, so 2009. The teens are all about gliding over the earth.

1. Giuseppe Zanotti Mirror Embellished Booties; 2. Thakoon Mirror Mosaic Strappy Sandals; 3. Christian Louboutin Very Galaxy; 4. Andreia Chaves Invisible Shoes; 5. Rodarte SP09 RTW Mirror Shoes

deal of the day

It’s officially Cyber Monday and deals abound. Case in point: these amazing Church’s Riding Boots 50% off at Net-A-Porter! Sadly my faves are still full price and almost sold out.

ugg replacements?

Today, another cosmic connection. Just yesterday on the subway I was pondering the effectiveness of FitFlops. Not so strange considering the profusion of the aforementioned brand’s advertising on the 2. While I would never trade in my Havaianas for these, Uggs are already ugly, so why not trade up for something that makes my legs toned? The reviews of the Anna Sui-FitFlops collaboration are pretty good and I am in love with the idea of toning while walking. My boyfriend thinks they are absolutely hideous but doesn’t have a much higher opinion of Uggs.

Update: Since checking this morning, they are now sold out in sizes 7, 8, and 9 so I guess I will have to wait to find out, whether I like it or not.
