Holy. Delicious. Shoe. Batman.
Speechless. Well almost.
I am almost at a loss for words on this one. Throw on your Target LBD and these and everyone will be thinking you're strutting around in Chanel. Holy hell. The details here are exquisite. The delicate layered ruffles trailing down the heel and the flowers dotting their way down the top of the foot. All in silk. Crinkled silk and embossed leather. Utterly amazing.
I'm sorry to say I don't have the first clue on where to find them online. Looks like you'll have to visit your nearest brick and mortar if you are so lucky to have one in your town. What I wouldn't give to see these beauties in person.

Elle Spring Survival Guide - Mixed Metallics
The March issue of Elle magazine features tons of shoe styles that should be on every girls must have list. I thought I would bring them to you recessionista style. First up. Mixed metallics. And both for less than $100.
Show off your retro side with this kicky t-strap by Chinese Laundry. Bronze and gold snake embossed leather intermingle to create a gorgeous wave design making its way from the vamp, to the t-strap, to the heel. You're sure to channel your inner starlet while jetting around town in these. Delicious.

A soft, feminine gladiator in a multitude of metallic hues. Triangular cut outs inch their way up the foot culminating in a buckled ankle strap. Somehow this sandal manages to evoke both femininity and something harder. I can't quite put my finger on it. But I like it.

Count Down to Saint Pat's
I don't even think you can begin to understand how EXCITED I am for Saint Patrick's Day. What better way to celebrate than with shoes in colors of the Irish flag. Well I can think of a better way. It may start with traditional Irish music, cheese and onion tart, chocolate chip scones, Baileys and coffee, and then might be followed by Guinness, a parade in Dogtown, more Guinness, with the strong possibility of ending with corned beef in some way, shape or form. That's what my day of drunken debauchery looks like. If you aren't so lucky then the next best thing is shoes. With free overnight shipping from Piperlime. Your feet can be surrounded by the luck o' the Irish in no time.

I am a big fan of Boutique 9 especially after purchasing these this past fall. The quality of materials is really wonderful for the price. This structural sandal has a lot of really fab elements. From the uniquely shaped partially covered wood heel to the snake embossed nubuck leather and the delightful woven details at the vamp.

I absolutely adore this wedge. The kelly green polka dot upper, the criss cross straps, the peep toe, and the buckled ankle strap. Sweetly feminine, these would even be good for a day of standing, drinking, and parade watching in comfort AND style.

So simple and chic. This hot little gladiator sandal by Vince Camuto features some fun details. The stud accent, the sleek and shiny patent leather, and the metallic capped toe. This shoe is sure to be your go to for the season and will add the perfect pop of color to your spring neutrals.

Two Twofers in One Week???
Well due to the post on LuckyToes yesterday you get two shoes for the price of one today! Yay! And while I can't garner that kind of deal when it comes to purchasing said shoes at least you get to look at and possibly consider purchasing two pair.
Now while I can't get you that buy one get one deal I am directing you to a site where you can get this fast shoe for a fabulous price. I originally spotted these beauties on endless.com where they are $219.95. A hefty price to pay, especially these days. But click on the link and find them for $139.99 at onlineshoes.com. Quite a savings, eh? But enough about the cost let's talk about how hot these shoes are. The hot pink and black color combo is incredibly feminine and sexy. And those studs!!! Who says you can't be tough AND sexy? I love the playful shape and that striped insole too. So much fun.
Pour La Victoire Paige

The Pour La Victoire Paige sandal in this amazing sea green hue immediately caught my eye. A fabulous little shape that I've been seeing more and more. I adore the contrast between the sweet braided strap, curvy shape and that wide strap with the studs encased in leather making it's way across the top of the foot. Utterly magnificent.

Wait. Wait. Hold on a Minute.
We now interrupt this regularly scheduled stud week post to bring you this important news bulletin. You may or may not have noticed that a new banner has appeared on my side bar. If you haven't that's perfectly okay. I did just add it today.
A few weeks ago I was approached by the lovely Angeline at Citysearch. She very kindly asked me to be a dictator for a new site they were set to launch and needless to say I was incredibly flattered and excited. So ladies, allow me to introduce you to LuckyToes. Here is a little information from their press release.
"LuckyToes is a new lookbook blog that's all about celebrating shoes and showing off the hottest styles from boutiques across the country. Free and fun to use, LuckyToes.com features photos submitted by shoe-obsessed users and store owners."
Make sure you check it out. It's a great interactive blog that allows you to comment on the shoes submitted and search by style, color, occasion just about anything really and the best part? It will direct you on where you can go to purchase them.
Oh if any of you have ever been curious about the face behind "A Girl's Guide to Shoes" well now is your chance see me in all of my redheaded grinning glory! If you click on The Dictators link you'll find my picture towards the bottom.

Hump Day - The Studs Continue...
Just for fun I googled "Hump Day and Studs". I'm going to be attracting a whole new crop of readers with this post title. Heh,heh! So... Welcome!
This shoe makes me think of this song by Mr. Sexy Back himself. Cause you know when you are walking down the street that's what all of those boys will be saying. These bad boys are crazy hot! The color, first of all, is TO. DIE. FOR. They also come in white and black but why mess with those "standard" neutrals when you can step out in these. The studs, the platform, the patent leather, the 4 3/4 inch stiletto heel... Damn girl!
