Two Years, Too Late?

Posted on by Shoe Daydreams

Two years later, after Wendy Brandes has been extolling the virtues of her Ash Thelma wedge sneakers, I’m on the bandwagon.

These just arrived and I’m curiously excited to try them out.

I don’t think these are the exact same shoes but I did love the variety of outfits paired with wedge sneakers in the Pitch Perfect finale (not my typical movie choice – so blame my Pop-loving friend).

Now I want them in white too! Gah!

Buying BBs

Posted on by Shoe Daydreams

Manolo Blahnik really knows the way to keep me buying their shoes. They tend to take my favorite style – lately the perfection that is the BB pump – and make it available in tons of different fabrics and colors.

And they are continuing with their “made-to-order” option, now via Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman.

I first fell in love with the BB when I got a pair in neon lime green (similar to the current Cocorita option) but I’ve now expanded my collection to black, red, and the grey/burgundy Bipunta cap-toe version.
But I’m thinking ahead to spring and I really think I need the marine blue and nude options.  Of course the fuchsia and cobalt are beautiful too. 

I love that you can chose your height preference too… although I think 105mm is the only option to truly showcase the slender, iconic BB heel.
