Today was one of those days that ended up with me running from one end of the city to another.
And I need to go out again this evening as well…
Today is not the day for heels.  Today is a day for a sleek, low heel shoe like the charming “Candy” from Stuart Weitzman:

The patent leather, peep toe and flat ribbon bow keep the shoe from looking frumpy, while the 1 – 3/4″ heel means you can walk in comfort.

Continuing with the pink theme today is the patent leather high heel Mary-jane shoe, the “Katie” from Kate Spade:

I know, I know, I keep posting all these patent leather shoes with oil slick finishes… but it’s so pretty!  And you have to admit, it’s a lot more wearable than the last one I wrote about

I’ve written about my love of unique patent leather accessories before (Prada sfumato anyone?) and I know I wrote about Donna Karan’s “xenon oxide” pumps before… But I had to add Calvin Klein’s new “Saphire” asymetrical strap high heels in rainbow prism to my list of lusted-after shoes:

I love Prada’s new shoe collection – they’re so feminine

This is the “Camoscio” glamor suede sandal (and it’s so popular that there are buying limits!)

Or if you prefer a flat sandal, how about the patent leather “Vernice Flower” sandal?

Burnt orange is one of the hot colors for fall, but can be challenging to find sometimes…
Luckily the “Desi” by Max Studio fits the bill!

Patent leather, with enough of a peep-toe to dress it up

Let pretend, just for a few minutes – that it’s not minus a gazbillion degrees outside.  That there isn’t a foot of snow in my front yard.  Or that a brief run to the grocery store requires 15 layers.
So in my happy little imaginary summer, I can wear these:

and relax on a patio somewhere drinking an iced coffee…
