Glitteratti

Jeffrey Campbell 'Esmerald' Glitter

Sweetly shimmered, the perfect way to "shuz" up a flirty summer floral. I adore these Jeffrey Campbell flats. Ladies just say no to foam (flipflops). This is the way to go.

Currently Obsessed With...

Jessica Simpson - Vadio

Jeffrey Campbell - Mariel Fur

Both of these need to be in my life.

Do they need to be in yours?

A Shoe to Match the Sky

Wah wah! The weather this weekend was nothing but pure ick. Rain, tornado warnings, tornado watch, tornados touching down, and more rain. I'm so amped up to see the sunshine. Hopefully it will be making an appearance today.

Rally - Jeffrey Campbell

I don't know about you but I've been hankering to add a bit of grey to my spring/summer shoe wardrobe. Hankering is actually probably a bit soft. Obsessed is more like it. I am loving the idea of balancing bright florals and sunshine hues with this muted tone. The tiny studs will give you just the right bit of sparkle and attitude and the bold cut outs are deliciously on trend. A back zip adds to their appeal. Yep. It's official. I'm obsessed.

Cowboy Way

Here are a couple more of my top picks from Shopbop.




I'm bringing you two very similar looks here but can you guess which pair is $220 and which pair is $498? I have to say I am really digging this look. Cowboy boot(s?)(ies?) with an edge. How adorable would either of these be paired with leggings and a fab little tunic. I could definitely picture adding a chunky knit or gorg blazer for fall. The studded detailing sends a don't mess with me vibe but the cowboy styling says "Hey. I'm down home, I'm approachable." Love that!

So, So, Sad

Remember last week when I said I was going to be in trouble because I bought these...



Well I received them on Friday. There was a beautiful, glorious package sitting right next to the front door when I got home from work. Don't you love that? I brought them to my bedroom and tore into the box. The packaging was so lovely. I lifted the lid of that oh so sweet black and white striped shoe box. I was beyond excited to have finally purchased my first pair of L.A.M.B. shoes thanks to Rue La La. The first thing I saw was the dust bag. *Sigh* and then I pulled away the tissue and there they were in all of their black leather glory. I reached in, took them out of the box, kicked off my shoes and slid my foot oh so gracefully into my new shoes. I buckled the straps and..... CRAP! CRAP! CRAP! CRAP! They're too effing small. WTF L.A.M.B.????? So now they are on their back to Rue La La.

I am praying that these fit.

If not I will be devastated. Dev.as.stat.ed.

Please send an email to shoezq at gmail dot com and I'll send you your promotion code. Now. On to some shoes.

Let's all take a moment of silence to revel in the amazingness of that oh so mythical creature, the Unicorn.



Not THAT kind of unicorn silly! I'm talking about this bad boy.

Jeffrey Campbell Michelle (Unicorn Shoe)

Yeah that's right. Shoe porn at it's finest. As a matter of fact my first words to my colleague after spying these shoes were "I think I just had my first shoegasm." OMG are these TO.DIE.FOR. or what? The d'Orsay styling, the ruffle detail, and the spiral (unicorn horn) shaped heel. Ultimately I decided these were a must have so I took the plunge and pre-ordered them. LOL. I couldn't help myself. Oh they are so dreamy. Gah! I can't wait to wear them. Now I just need help breaking the "new shoes" news to my husband.

Hey JC, JC You're Alright By Me

Jeffrey Campbell that is. You may have thought I meant the OTHER JC but this is a shoe blog after all. I heart these. I heart them in the pink. I need them in the pink. I'm trying hard to think of a way I can buy these without the hubs finding out. He thinks I need new shoes like a need a hole in the head. Silly boys. Don't they know a girl can NEVER. ever. have too many shoes.

Jeffrey Campbell Roller

Ugh unfortunately my size seems to sold out everywhere. They do come in gray and black and I suppose I would settle for the gray but the pink(excuse me fuchsia), it's haunting my dreams. These are so gorg. From the cut out ankle cuff to the mini wedge. I'm about to have a full blown temper tantrum here. Does anyone know how I can get my hands on these?

Okay now before I end this post I wanted to tell you dear readers that I will be having my first giveaway tomorrow!!!! Friday is my 1 year blogoversary so to celebrate I have managed to coordinate not one, not two, but three giveaways and number four is in the works. So be sure to come back on Friday for a chance to win and tell your friends!

Beautiful Blues

I know I just blogged about a beautiful blue that I'm considering adding to my shoe wardrobe well... apparently I'm ahead of the curve because I received an email from Nordstrom earlier this week touting the latest sandal trend and guess what??? It's "Into the Blue". Here are a few of my top selections from the site.

Enzo Angiolini - Muffin

This huarache style is all the rage so why not tap into two trends at once. A cork wedge and a woven lightly crinkled leather upper. The sling back strap keeps these from looking too heavy and I simply adore the dark blue hue.

Jeffrey Campbell - Vice

A triangular t-strap adorned with tonal beading? Yes, please! I'm betting that this bad boy is stunning in person. The leather upper combines with a 4 inch wooden heel and that color... Gorgeous turquoise reminiscent of the Caribbean. And this midwesterner loves to be reminded of the sea any chance she gets.

Fergie - Jolt

Another hot shoe by Ms. Fergie Ferg. You'll be giving your wardrobe a "jolt" with this sassy little number. Navy blue patent leather overlaps with bright blue and contrasting gray suede all leading down to a sweet little peep toe. An adjustable ankle strap and 4 inch stacked heel will have you kicking up your heels from now all the way through fall as these will work fabulously paired with tights.

Nude Flats

I have spoken often of the wonders of a good pair of nude heels. How they can do nothing but good. They elongate the leg, pair perfectly with anything and everything, etc... Well as I've been searching and exploring the internet to find shoes I want to feature on the blog I came across a few pairs of fabulously nude flats. *Sigh* Yet another pair of shoes to add to the never ending list. Now while the nude flat won't add any additional height(obviously) I consider them a great alternative to the nude heel. Especially on those days when you have lots of errands to run and comfort is key.

Sam Edelman Clement Flat

Flats can certainly have a tendency to look a little on the boring side but this pair by Sam Edelman is anything but. The cut out details add great visual interest and I love, love, love the toe capped with a bit of snake skin.

Jeffrey Campbell Haley Flat

A studded bow? How perfect! This flat is a great way to combine your girly side with your sassy side. These look as if they are the ultimate in comfort. That supple, flexible leather encasing your toes... pure perfection.

Steven by Steve Madden Stardom Flat

This pair by Steve Madden is my favorite of the bunch. Naturally it's the most expensive of the three. Isn't that always the way? But this, this is a glam flat. I love the shape. The almond toe and the shimmering tiled studs really appeal to me. Adore.

Come Spring, these would look fabulous paired with shorts like these Nanette Lepore shorts I found on Shopbop.

Let's Boogie Short

or this flirty dress I found at Forever 21.
