Shoe Should: F-Troupe's Plastic Heart Shoes

Oh F-Troupe. I surrender.

($123, F-Troupe)

And those little hearts? They're leather. LEATHA!

I hereby dedicate this post and my burning desire to own these F-Troupe sandals to the great Juice Newton, who not only picked the coolest stage name ever but also went to my high school.

Perforated Plz: F-Troupe's White Patent Leather Saddle Shoes

($158, f-troupe, Oaknyc.com)

Usually white shoes are a HUGE nein, but these white patent perforated saddle shoes -- they're perforated with teensy little STARS -- break through the busted code and come out clear on the side of awesome sauce. And they remind me of the Steve Madden Skiip perforated flats I loved for so long.


A cursory Internet search brings up only the 8.5 at Zappos, so, if you're a 8.5 AND you want these shoes, it's SO your lucky day!

I Really Really Need These f-troupe Black Boots!

The basic black boots I currently own I wear about three to four times per week, and I've worn them so much that there's almost no difference between their soles and asphalt. They're from the '80s, and I found them in a scary thrift store in a rather scary part of Paris, but it was all good because I got them for like 10 Euros. But that was about three years ago and one original sole ago. It is time. to. move. on. Perhaps to these?

Like the Ayla boots I love -- I have them in Tokyo and Manhattan -- they're wide at the top to accommodate soccer-player calves (even if/ when you don't play soccer, ahem!) They also remind me of Golden Goose boots, but they're about 1/10th the price. AND they're on sale! I think Imma getum!

Shoes I Want to Get... And Shoes I Just Don't Get

As usual, a post with barely any cohesive thread, except for shoes that fall under the two dichotomous categories of stuff I like and don't like.

Ughhhhh. More creature than comfort.

($115, Slow And Steady Wins the Race, Creatures of Comfort)

Riiiight. We get it. You're a ballet flat. And not a plastic bag.

($180, Angeli Inquieti, Zappos)

Less really is so much more.

($104, Pura Lopez, Amazon)

These studded heels, however, are almost perfect. If only they were a little taller.

($206, Modern Vintage, Zappos)

I need these bad I can taste it.

(Apprx $498 USD, Finsk, The Shop Floor Project)

By award-winning Finnish designer Julia Lundsten. Stunning, especially in cream. I like the space-agey-meets-earthy vibe too.

($95, Gabriella Rocha Studio, Zappos)

I need a pair of gold heels for my Weddings S/S '08 dress, and I like the cracked leather, but I don't know if I'm feeling the heeling.

($48, Nina, Lulu's)

Cute just 'cuz.

($195, Jeffrey Campbell, Urban Outfitters)

I've been dreaming of these laser-cut Jeffrey Campbell boots for weeks now, but something keeps holding me back... oh yeah... credit card debt. Wurst.

Oh yeah... hearkening all the way back to last Saturday's post, in which I highlighted my exciting recent purchase of Steve Madden Skiip laser-cut white Oxfords... I found these, which are similar, in case you wanted something a bit higher-end and more expensive:

However, they're practically giving away the Steve Madden ones. Just sayin'!

Shoes. Oh my God. Shoes

Shoes.

Shoes.

Oh my God.

Shoes.

Specifically British shoes. Everyone knows the British Office is better. Duh. Check out these ridiculously rad heels and boots from The Office (the "shoppe," not the "programme").

(a ridiculous $49 USD)

($184)
Pricey, but pretty.

(Approximately $107)
So awesome.

(Approximately $107)
Even awesomer in grey.

(Approximately $58 USD)
Sweet.

BYOBooyah: The money shot.
