A Promise

Sorry ladies but posting may be sporadic this week. Work duties beckon and I'm afraid they are keeping me from keeping up. I promise next week I'll be back on a regular basis. In the meantime here is something pretty to look at.

Kruz Heel - BCBGirls

High or Low

I hope everyone had a glorious weekend. The weather in "the Lou" was horrible with a capital H. So much for the first days of spring. It was cold, rainy, and dreary. Thankfully I've got pretty sandals to distract me from the crappy weather.

Guess - Tablet

When I first spied the above I was smitten. A sexy platform heel in a killer shape dotted with studs in a spicy nude leather. The back zip adds to their overall appeal. I'm just really loving that look right now. Hmm... I'm already picturing sporting these with a wealth of outfits.

Guess - Katydid

And then I spied these. A flattened down version that is equally as chic as it is appealing. Great for those days when I'm planning to run errands or power shop. What to do? How's a girl to choose? Maybe I don't have to.

Remember When....

I featured these...




Uba - BCBGirls


Well now you can see them on a real live person

Going Global - The Finale

L.A.M.B. - Verdu

Yeah. So. I want these. A lot. Sadly heels.com is sold out in my size. You seriously have NO idea how sad I am. I'm a pretty dedicated customer of heels.com. I find that their prices are almost if not ALWAYS the best but they also have unmatched customer service. I just wish they wouldn't sell out of my size so damn fast! And there in, perhaps, lies the irony. Anyhoo... so these are great. I love the ikat print, the wooden platform, the woven sheer fabric, pretty much everything.

Plus once you see them on....



Also, a big Happy Saint Patrick's Day to all! For the first time in forever I'm actually not taking the day off and binge drinking. (So sad). But I did have a Jameson's before bed last night. Slainte!

Going Global - A Wedge

Dazler - Steve Madden

Big, bold, look at me jewels cluster together to create a wedge with "Wow!" The pewter colored leather straps give these an almost soft effect and don't detract from what should really be the focus. Jewelry for your feet. Ain't nothing wrong with that!

Going Global - Now That's What I'm Talking About

Romantica - Carlos Santana

Reach new global heights with this sexy platform pump by Carlos Santana. Bold, brassy hardware will all but guarantee your feet will receive a wealth of attention. The combination of beading is spot on from the tiger striped jewels, to tear drop shapes, to gold studs. Strap these bad boys on and head out for a night on the town. But be prepared to feel like a diva all night long.

Going Global - Day 2

kensiegirl - Della

I absolutely adore the bead work on this delightful little gladiator. The combination of that caramel hued leather and the ivory, gold, brown, and turquoise beads is simply glorious. Thick straps abound on this fun embellished sandal. You will be shocked when I tell you they cost $49.00!!!! I know! Crazy, right? So what are you waiting for? Go out and get you some!

Going Global - UPDATED!

I am loving all of the delicious, global inspired, bejeweled beauties I'm seeing lately so... thought I'd feature a few of my faves over the next few days.

BCBGeneration - Uba

The past few times I've visited Piperlime these have been gleaming at me from the homepage. I had to feature both colors since I'm indecisive and can't choose which I like best. I love the idea of pairing these with something simple. A flirty summer sun dress or shorts and a tank and then add some fab bold global inspired jewelry. Just imagine how your ankles will glitter in the sunshine. I love sparkly things.

Hey ladies if you like these as much as I do or are just hankering for a new pair of shoes use this discount code at check-out for 30% off! BBBBD6NVFLWN. This is good on Piperlime's site and has a one time use only.

Short And Sweet

Gonna make this short and sweet today. Can you believe St. Patrick's Day is only a week away? I say let's celebrate with a new pair of shoes!


Lucky for you heels.com has your back. Click here to go straight to the site. Happy shopping everyone!

Blahnik Beauties

I was browsing the interwebs, more specifically Bergdorf Goodman's website, and came across these two beauties by Manolo Blahnik. Any gal who is a dedicated Sex & The City fan knows that show made this man and his shoes a household name. Not to mention his shoes even managed to land themselves a starring role in the movie.

Top left features a stunning gold upper, an open sexy shape, and sparkly jewels. For a closer look click here.

To the right we have my favorite. The lovely d'Orsay shape that always seems to tickle my fancy plus that gorgeous (reminiscent of a Monet painting)print. I'm only sad I could show you these from the front. But click here for a closer look and you'll see what I mean.

Have a wonderful day my lovelies. I know I'll be falling asleep tonight and dreaming of flowery, bejeweled beauties. What will you be dreaming of?

Pleasant Surprise

Olsenboye - Madeline

While I was browsing the latest ad/coupon book to come in the mail from JCPenney I almost passed out from shock when I saw these. Not a store that is typically known to entice me with its shoes (um ever) I was pleasantly surprised to see this sweet little heel. The less surprising part is that these are part of the Olsenboye collection for Jacque Penay. Those Olsen twins have got it goin on. Don't think I'll be buying them since they are made with a synthetic material and well I'm not down with synthetics when it comes to shoes but I am tempted to try them on. Just for fun. This is a fashion foward pump with a sweet and sexy shape and the price is just right. Sah-Weet!

It's Friday! It's Friday!

Betsey Johnson - Antoinette

A flower bedecked ankle is the perfect way to prettify those stems in my humble opinion. This sweet wedge by Betsey Johnson has got it goin on in all the right places. Sky high, patent trimmed, hardware, and a leopard print insole a lovely combination makes. These are a delicious way to prance into spring. Wouldn't you say?

Now before you go prancing into the weekend be sure to check out Piperlime's new blog, Fresh Juice.

Their blog will offer a deeper look inside the online shop with behind-the-scenes stories, obsessions of the week and special posts from guest editors like Rachel Zoe and more.

Hard Edge

BCBG Max Azria - Myra

Hey there ladies! Today we have a Rachel Zoe pick from Piperlime but lucky for you I've got your back and managed to find this little beauty on Overstock.com for almost half the price. Pick up this rocker chic sandal for Spring and you'll be on trend + you'll be able to purchase another fine pair of shoes with all the money you saved. The smooth supple leather and the ruffle trimmed in gold zipper hardware gives you girlie with an edge. Perfect for those days when you're feeling a little bit country and a little bit rock n' roll.

Wack-A-Doo Wednesday

Okay so this is a first on AGGTS. I have never featured a shoe on the blog that I don't like. Plenty that I've been on the fence about but never one that I've looked at and thought "Man, there is nothing I would like more than to pick that shoe up and throw it across the room." This isn't the first time I've seen this clog and felt anger so I thought why not have a new feature called "Wack-A-Doo Wednesday".

Camilla Skovgaard

Help! Help! There is a horrible knotted fringe monster consuming my clog! Help! WTF! Why? Just why? My mind = boggled. Nuff said.

Seeing Double

Well, well, well... what do we have here? I first saw these Vince Camuto sandals this afternoon and was instantly smitten. For good reason. The more I looked at them, the more I thought hm... there is something familiar about these little beauties. I knew I had seen this look before and initially thought it was from Prada but after a google search last evening realized nope, not Prada. Miu Miu. Now I'm sad. Because I love the Vince Camutos. Even more than the Miu Miu pair. I think it's the delicious whiskey colored leather. And there in lies the dilemma. Do I purchase these blatant Miu Miu knock offs or are they just a little too close for comfort? What's a girl to do?

Oh and I have I mentioned that from now until March 14 you can get 20% off any purchase of $100 or more on VinceCamuto.com? Just enter the code VC100 at checkout.

Vince Camuto - Mabel

Miu Miu Leather Studded Sandals

I couldn't find these anywhere on line to purchase.

Got A Case of the Mondays?

Happy Monday dear readers! I hope you all had a glorious weekend. The hubs and I had a date night on Saturday and it was wonderful. It started with a trip to mall and the Coach store. One of my handbags had a tear in the fabric and I have to tell you I walked out of Coach with the firm belief that they have some of THE BEST customer service out there. Oh and I also walked out with this... except in black + a $63 credit since this bag didn't cost as much as the one I brought in. Amazing! They gave me the full price I paid despite the fact that my bag was 3+ years old. Then we went and ate some amazingly delicious Indian food and moved on to a wine bar where we shared a bottle of bordeaux and listened to some jazz & blues. Twas perfect.

Coach - Kristin

Aphrodite - Vince Camuto

Vince Camuto brings you this sweet sandal with angular cut outs and a pretty whiskey colored hue. The caged look that was so popular last spring is back at the forefront for spring 2010 and this little beauty guarantees to keep you on trend. An adjustable gold buckle and side zip add just the right touch of hardware. This shoe will pair beautifully with a wealth of looks. Gotta love getting the best bang for your buck.
