plaid-o-rama

Some days are just plaid shirt kinds of days, and this was no exception. I've been sale-stalking this particular shirt for quite some time, so when I found it in the store on sale with an additional 30% off the sale price, I was more than happy to oblige. I can't wait to wear it with my future bright "modern red" Dorrie skirt! The shirt is already a wonderful combination of desert sunset hues, so punching it up with an orange-red skirt would only be fitting.

Also, can I say just how glad I am that J.Crew finally started padding their flats? My Liv flats offer little to no cushioning, but these fun Cece flats feel like a dream! The suuuper soft leather doesn't hurt, either.

Also, I'd like you all to welcome the new lady in my life: Vara --



I got these lovely Salvatore Ferragamo pumps for myself as a belated birthday present, and they've finalllllly arrived! Squeeeeeee! These are officially the most expensive shoes I've ever bought, barely eeking out past my Frye boots.

For those interested, these are the Vara pumps, which are available in an array of colors. I got mine from Bloomingdale's with my birthday coupon, but they're also now available at Neiman Marcus in this brown color. I know that they'll be my go-to brown pump of choice from now on, which made the expense easier to swallow. For those who are interested, I'm usually a solid size 7, sometimes venturing into size 6.5 for certain brands. I guess Ferragamo is one of those brands because I got these in a size 6.5 (only size left at Bloomie's) and they fit like a dream. No complaints! And for $300, there better be no complaints!

What's the most expensive shoe purchase you've ever made?

  2. First of all, you just look amazing!
    Second of all, good for you for treating yourself to such a fab pair of shoes - I'm just wondering why they weren't named the "Amy" since I don't think I have ever seen a pair better suited to you!

  6. Hey we have the same shoe size ! I love those Ferragamos. They are eternally chic. Not to mention they have a sensible heel. You're going to get so much wear out of them.
    As for padding on flats, I wish all shoes could ome with padding!

  10. Those cute flats are a perfect classic and will last you forever. Nice bday splurge!!
    I think the most I've spent on shoes so far is about $250 for some boots. Somehow, I think I'll top that one day when I buy some YSL's or maybe on some Louboutins.
