New York Day 1 and 2

Posted on by Shoe Daydreams

So just a few quick updates from New York!

On Thursday I landed and got to the hotel. Lucky me, they had a room ready so I could drop off all of my stuff and unpack a bit. I then ventured out in the rain and walked all over! I went to ABC Carpet and Home (gorgeous!)…

And then popped into Forever 21, TopShop (cute miniskirts – see below), Sephora and a few funky stores like Obscura and Evolution.

Only a beet juice from Pure Food takeaway and Magnolia cupcakes could keep me going!

Yesterday I ran around and found myself in the Sakes Shoe floor. I got a few little things….

After having a quick sandwich picnic in the park I met the delightful (yes in person she is to!) Wendy Brandes at Bergdorfs, where she tempted me to by more shoes, and then on to drinks. We laughed until our cheeks hurt!
More adventures to follow!

Raising Eyebrows?

Not sure if I’m getting predictable or if the people I’m around are becoming desinsitized to me but I wore some slightly “out there” outfits (comparatively, for NC) and no one batted an eye.

Is this a good thing or what? I’m not sure.

The outfit I wore with my glitter heels and TokyoMade Chapter ring what otherwise kind of basic:

Then on Friday I wore a stripey jacket, my derby and saddle shoes (wish I could have worn my Viktor & Rolf paperclip eyelashes too).

Today I went out for lunch (and vintage shopping… more on that later…) and wore a shiny silver skirt, sequin Chucks, my boater, a green top with my parasol and a vintage straw purse.

Okay, so maybe these aren’t too out there but they were fun.

I’ve tried to stick to a palette but I just can’t do it. I love too many colors! And glitter! And sequins! And vintage! I know there are some things I don’t wear and pieces and colors I wear more than others but I’m just trying to enjoy what I buy. Hopefully it will last and hopefully I won’t get bored by it. That’s becoming more of a goal for me. I’m sort of all over the place but that’s okay…. Right?

Pink Daggers

Posted on by Shoe Daydreams

So yesterday I wore my new TokyoMade Chapter Pinky Sparkle ring (LOVE!) –

But if you are going to do girly pink… let’s do some GIRLY PINK!

Paired up with my pink glitter Chinese Laundry Dagger slingbacks (and a pink Lou Lou Loves You bow) you couldn’t miss me.

These shoes are fun, although they are a bit brighter pink than I had thought they would be. And the toe area is a bit pointier than I would prefer, but hey! Pink glitter!

The box is even cute too.

If I ever find other/better pink glittery shoes, I think I’d replace these but for now I likey.

Soon…

I’ll be there soon, my dears.

And I can’t wait to see you. Yes, you, New York, but I also hope to meet some of my online friends in person too. Tea parties? Cupcake picnics? Dinner and adventures?

What’ll it be?

May 14th – 19th


What should we do???
