Cooling My Heels

Posted on November 9, 2012 by Shoe Daydreams

I have to admit that I’ve been making goo-goo eyes at the mesh and dotty Kate Spade heels since July.

But I know that they I had other shoes in the same color and that I really should hold off.

As the months passed I would stop by the site every so often to look at them and would see that most of the sizes were still available. After a while I began to hope that they might possibly go on sale and I could snatch them up.

So last Friday, I popped onto the site and saw they had gone down by 25%. Very very tempting, but I held out. And literally the next day, there went another 25%. Sadly, I couldn’t get onto the site until Sunday so I ended up with a slight larger size than I would have preferred, but I got them!

Love the navy Lisa pump. The color is awesome, the dots are fuzzy and the bow is perfection.

And the candy pink Mildred kitten heel is the sweet sister, with its patent cap toe and flirty color.

When they arrived they were even more adorable in person. In fact, all the girls in the office were equally smitten.

Can you blame them?

Graphic Elements – Stella McCartney Mesh Pump

Posted on November 6, 2009 by Shoe Daydreams

I love a good graphic shoe and am now pining away for this Stella McCartney Mesh Pump.

I love the contrasting toe and how the heels is white and the sole is black. I want this for suits and for jeans. And I bet it would look really cool with solid colored tights too because the mesh is a bit see-through.

Stella, you are breaking my heart.

Redemption!

Posted on April 3, 2008 by Shoe Daydreams

In spite of recent setbacks, I’m going to say that Stella McCartney has redeemed herself a bit with this lovely platform sandal. Not only is it very very pretty and worth showing, but I will give her a little love in celebration of her new website launch (plus, I love her perfume).

Yes, she’s incorporating wood into this design as well, but the effect here is much lighter, girlier and summery. I would wear these in an instant.

I also like how the mix of materials all work so well together. The blond wood, slight lug sole, and mesh heel – they all are casual and combine to make the diamante-encrusted strap look even more sparkly and delicate.

You can get a close up view to see all the details at the site. Can’t you imagine these shining in the sun with every step?

They are pricey ($1200), like the others in this collection, but I love them. Luckily they start at 36 and not in my size! I would be seriously tempted by them.
