I Think I've Finally...

Jessica Simpson - Fionna

I think I've finally found the grey pump I've been searching for. Although these seem to be more equivalent to a pump/bootie hybrid which is the exact reason why I love them. The contrasting upper that combines a subtle snake print and smooth rustic leather meets a 5.1 inch heel. Speaking of 5.1 inch heels... am I the only one who looks at 3 inch heels and thinks they look/are really short now?

Apparently...

I decided to take some time off. I have no excuse for my absence, only an apology for not giving you all any notice. I'm back though and I thought I'd start by showing off my new shoes! Not surprisingly the two pairs I purchased have been featured on the blog at one time or another and each is a pair I've been coveting for quite a while.

Jessica Simpson - Vadio

The Vadio in Deep Purple is back in stock! Get it while you can.

Sam Edelman - Lorissa

Stay tuned to see them on my feet soon.

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?

The New Dany

There is something about this new offering by the Jessica Simpson team that has me thinking they are destined to be this season's Dany. Could definitely see Fashion Toast or The Shoe Girl rocking these bad johnny's and maybe just possibly me. I sort of love them now and that love could certainly grow.

Jessica Simpson - Kale (Black)

Jessica Simpson - Kale (Grey Suede)

Stripper chic? I kid. I kid. You know I love height as much as the next girl. Plus I really dig these. So structured yet sexy. What do you think? Is the Kale destined to be the new Dany?

Color Blocked

Jessica Simpson - Ely

Jessica Simpson - Cheetah

Penny Loves Kenny - Tetra in Nude/Black

Penny Loves Kenny - Tetra in Lavendar

Snow. Ice. Ice. Snow. Blizzards. Wind. Fuhgeddaboudit. We've got pretty shoes to look at. Been seeing LOTS of color block patterns around the ol' interwebs. I'm loving it. Such a fun way to incorporate a bold pop of color to those soft hued neutrals for spring.

The DANY is NOW only 59.99!!!

Go here and get it NOW! Heck for this price get two!!!

Dany - Jessica Simpson

Hurry. The deal only lasts until December 24th!

Boot Yourself Into Wednesday!

Jessica Simpson - Alany

Love, love, love this Jessica Simpson boot! Gorgeous distressed leather give these a vintagey vibe but that zipper detail brings you right back into 2010. The zipper is merely decorative my dears as the Alany features a pull on style. Another detail this girl loves as workings zippers on boots are not so much my friend. The heel height on these is fabulous as well. A mere 3.5 inches. With the addition of that 1/2 inch platform I'd say it's a safe bet that these will be a go to boot for many seasons to come.

Current

Here are some items currently on my wish list for fall 2010.

Senso - Wilma

Nine West - Donley

Jessica Simpson - Jessica2

What's on your wish list?

Fall Must Haves

I thought it might be fun to share some of my fall must haves with my wonderful blog readers. Warning this post will include other items besides shoes. Crazy, I know. But a woman can not subsist on shoes alone. Although I sure do like to try : P

Jessica Simpson- Jessica2

Look familiar? I really think I'm going to do it this time. The price is perfect as is the shape.

Jessica Simpson - Cadiz Western in Gray

I've been loving how I've been seeing these styled all around the blogosphere and beyond and now I'm anxious to add one to my collection.


A hand full of cocktail rings

Sorry no link here. I'm planning on scouring some of the vintage stores in the area to find some key pieces.

Deena & Ozzy Pony Purse

I'm usually a Coach or nothing girl but this little pony handbag has caught my eye big time. And the price is Ah-ma-zing!

Steve Madden - Chelseey

I'm sure these look familiar too. However I have a bone to pick with you Mr. Steve Madden. Last week these were $99.95 and now... NOW they are $139.95!!! WTF? Okay. End of rant. I still want to buy them. (Sheepish grin)

Alright my dears. I'm sure I have bored you all by now with my list. What, pray tell, is on yours?

Still Haven't Taken the Plunge

And I'm actually quite happy about that. It seems the longer I wait the more I'm seeing other designers foray into the leopard print trend. I'm loving this wealth of options. My apologies if you are tired of leopard. I know! More? But I just can't help myself. I love it and I'm loving these designs from Jessica Simpson even more.

Jessica Simpson - Jessica2

Jessica Simpson - Minas2

Unzipped

Jessica Simpson - Ellep

I simply adore this sexy pump from Jessica Simpson. The double platform, the peep toe, and the zippered detail is sending me over the edge. Now look at them from the back and wonder at their beauty.

Is that heel killer or what?

A Dany Update

For those of you who may be interested, the Jessica Simpson Dany is now available at shoes.com in all sizes in the Cognac. You know who you are ;) Just for the record I love mine, however I did fall lose my balance while wearing them for the first time. I'm blaming it on the alcohol consumed. So maybe don't mix liquor and the Dany. Here is a little reminder on what the Dany looks like. In case you forgot.

Jessica Simpson - Dany

Bondage, eh?

Jessica Simpson - Satino

I feel like Jessica Simpson's design team has been getting their kick ass, bondage, sky high swerve on lately. First the Dany, and now this! I mean just wait until you see them on. So! Hot!

Am I right, or am I right?

Dropping Some Knowledge

Tomorrow I pick up my Loubies from the shoe repair place. I decided to have protective soles put on them. I am inherently tough on shoes. I've gotten a lot better. Especially since I've taken to wearing my flip flops from the car to the office (This is the only time wearing flip flops with a dress or work appropriate outfit is okay. A transition shoe, if you will) and then I switch into my "real" shoes once inside. Here is a bit more information on the sole process.

Red Protective Soles for Christian Louboutin^® Shoes

Do you love your Christian Louboutin® shoes so much you hate to wear them for fear of wearing the red finish off of the bottoms? The third generation craftsmen at Cobblestone Shoe Repair have a solution for you.

There was a red protective sole on the market, but the color didn't quite match the Louboutin bottoms (see the strip in the photo above). That won't do for our high fashion customers who wear the shoes.

So we worked with Soletech, Inc. to develop red sole protectors to match Christian Louboutin^® shoes. This thin, rubber, non-slip sole saver will keep those red soles looking red while providing more comfort and fashion. They can be applied to new or slightly worn shoes.

Sole protectors also come in black, brown, tan, white and nicotine colors, so any thin-soled shoe can be worn with confidence. Sole protectors prevent excessive toe wear while adding durability and comfort.

If you have questions about sole protectors, contact info@cobblestoneshoerepair.com or bring your shoes to the Cobblestone location nearest you.

I'll be sure to take pictures tomorrow night after I pick them up so you can see how they look.

And in case you were wondering...

Jessica Simpson - Dany

Dany came on Monday and OMG this shoe is seriously the sickest, most over the top, most fierce shoe I own. I am a 6.5 and ordered a 7. I figured it's easier to wear a shoe that is slightly too big then trying to squeeze my foot into a shoe that is too tight. I definitely recommend ordering a half size up. A foot petal will solve any heel slippage you might have. Also they are surprisingly easy to walk in.

Now I just checked jessicasimpsoncollection.com and sadly they are sold out of almost all sizes in the cognac but they have all but one size still left in black. I have a contact at shoes.com and she said they are getting the Dany's in, in August. I'll be sure to give you the scoop once they get them in too.

Happy shopping everyone!

This JUST In!

I quite literally was stopped in my tracks by an email I received from jessicasimpsoncollection.com today! The Dany is IN! I just bought mine. Click here to get yours!

What Are You Thinking About?

Jessica Simpson - Dany

Ever since I saw these in black on The Shoe Girl's blog I've been obsessed with finding the cognac pair in my size. Obsessed. According to the Jessica Simpson collection website (which is where I linked to) they will be available in July. After I finish banging out this post. I can promise you that I will be emailing the Vince Camuto group to see if there is any way I can finagle a pre-order on these bad boys. I also plan on casually looking for them when I'm in Chi-town over Memorial Day weekend.

Next up...

Cynthia Vincent for Target - Gladiator Wedge

Yeah, so the same goes for these. Except I didn't see these on The Shoe Girl's blog. Just on every other blog I've visited. Again I've been casually stopping by the shoe department whilst at Target for other things and needless to say, I've seen hide nor hare of them.

You always want what you can't have. Isn't that what they always say? So... are there any shoes you are obsessing over this season?

Gody to the Last Drop

Gody - Jessica Simpson

Kick that summer wardrobe into overdrive with the Gody platform sandal by Jessica Simpson. A faux wooden platform give these a luxurious boost and the oh so sexy red leather upper dotted with gold studs amp up their sex appeal. Gody also comes in fab neutrals including black or honey. I love them all!

Gray Platform Pumps for Under 100 Bucks

Over the next few days I'm going to be featuring my top picks for.... you guessed it! Gray platform pumps for under 1oo bucks. Fall always puts me in a gray state of mind and this fall in particular is getting me there quicker than usual. It has been unseasonably cold over the past week and rainy and gray and well... what better way to perk up than with a pump. Platform pumps are especially hot right now but this particular shoe style is a classic. Here is option #1.

Jessica Simpson - Michaela

This sweet and stylish pump by Jessica Simpson brings more of those curvy lines that I love. I'm really digging the croco embossed leather too. The 3/4 inch platform will certainly help you maneuver your way through those city streets but you also have the added bonus of a padded toe box. Don't you love it when you can maneuver in comfort and style?

Debbie Downer

I promise this won't be a "Debbie Downer" of a post. You'll get it, in a minute.

Debbie - Jessica Simpson

Ah-dorable, no? I must say I am loving this pump shape lately. The curvy lines just make me giddy. I can't help it. Curvy = feminine and frankly I'm a true girl at heart. We have a slightly stacked heel and with the addition of the platform this pump just may prove comfy too. Then add in the round toe and silver studs dotting the edge and this girl is smitten. Plus I am so digging the leopard insole, a fun and flirty detail that gets to be your little secret.
