Whose Shoes?

All right, who's gonna buy these? Tamron? I think I need to take a little Etsy break....



Vintage dove gray peeptoe pumps, $26. With lace! Okay, okay, I'll buy them.

Also, these made me gasp when I saw them...



Jeffrey Campbell "Spring" sandal, $96. Love the giant purple bow! Alas, not the most practical shoe of all time. And so I restrain myself.

Also cute:



These DKNY wedges, $98. Don't they look so comfy? I'm hoping they'll go on sale. Until then: Practicing restraint.

Restraining.....

Five Of The Ugliest Shoes I've Seen In Ages

Horbs shoes, in no particular order. Because does ugly really need an order?

($720, Dolce & Gabbana, Luisaviaroma.com)
Sure The Elton John Museum is aware of the recent robbery that took place there...

($1324, Christian Louboutin, Luisaviaroma.com)
Nope. Sorry. You either get to be a boat shoe OR a stiletto, but not both. (Sorry, Fergie.)


($1306, Valentino, Luisaviaroma.com)
It's bad enough that Bea Arthur recently passed away. Did Valentino really have to DEFACE the Golden Girls' beloved couch on top of it?



($595, Pucci, Net-a-porter.com)
These could actually be cute if... no wait. They could never be cute.

Six and a half inches of faux wood and weep.

Jon and Kate Are Getting Divorced

Jon and Kate Gosselin from TLC’s reality TV series Jon and Kate Plus 8 have officially announced that they're getting divorced! They have been married for 10 years, and have been shaky for the past six months. Both have agreed that it is best for their children. Jon says, “It's not good for us to be arguing in front of the kids.” There has been a whole lot of publicity around their troubled relationship, but the announcement was comes as a shock. They have thought it all out and are still carrying on with the show, just parenting at different times. The kids will still live at home, since the house was bought for them.

Kate was very upset and apparently sobbed, and said "Parents of multiples have triple the divorce rate ... I was thinking we were going to beat that.” Yet, she was the one to make the first legal move. When they announced their divorce on the show, she had already called a lawyer. This is the first reality show that is going to air while the divorce is going on!


They seemed like the perfect family! The show is going to be so different now!

Bright Heels = HOT HOT HEAT!

A hearty shove of ye old proverbial revolving door that pushes forth ridiculously trendy heels, sandals, and slingbacks in bold, bright, brilliant candy colors!

(Apprx $65 USD, NewLook.co.uk)
Is it kinda wrong that I wish we had a New Look here? Or do we already have enough Charlotte Russes and Wet Seals?


($125, Topshop)
I know they've got a bit of a Harlequin vibe, but whatevs. You could sooo tone that down with some grey tights and a black minidress, you know?

(Apprx $82 USD, Dorothy Perkins)
Perfect height, and I love the naughty character shoe vibe.


($612, Lanvin, Brownsfashion.com)
Once again, I'm dying, I'm dead, a corpse is blogging about how STUNNING these cornflower blue Lanvin heels are.

FashionBinge Aspirational Purchase: BYSOG Leather Bag

I braved the half-drunken crowds at Shecky's Girls Night Out tonight, and I'm actually pretty glad I did, because I discovered BYSOG bags -- gorgeous, bright, candy-colored handbags, totes, and clutches made here in New York. The one I can't stop crushing on (and I'm crushing HARD because I'm HARD UP for an excellent leather bag with lots of pockets AND a top zipper -- it's been a while...) looks like the "Lena Lena" bag, except it was red-orange with black piping. (The shape reminds me a bit of Rebecca Minkoff's Morning After Bag.) The "Lena Lena" bag is $645, but for reals, you can't beat the Shecky's discount with a stick -- it was about $350. For real. Ohhhhh financial restraint.
