"How do we love thee, wedge heel? Let us count the ways."
At ODE TO A WEDGIE: So Many Reasons to Love Summer’s Cutest Shoe, I found these adorable Beyond Skin Women's Sunny Platform Sandal!
At ODE TO A WEDGIE: So Many Reasons to Love Summer’s Cutest Shoe, I found these adorable Beyond Skin Women's Sunny Platform Sandal!
I've been in love with what my friends and I call "the boot-looking sandals" ever since Kyra Sedgwick dancing in a pair of Martin Margiela sandals from Kate Bosworth in that sexy orange juice ad:
So when I spotted these Industry Aztec Sandal (on sale for just $89.99; via Sale Mail alert from Shop It To Me) I was more than a bit smitten -- and hey, the boot-esque appeal of these sandals helps soothe the soul of this high-heel addict who sadly recognizes there are situations/occasions where flats are the best choice.
It was the best of chunky heels, the worst of chunky heels...
I love everything about See by Chloé's beige and black crochet-knit sandals -- except the big chunky heels. The just seem to overpower the mod-yet-feminine strappy crochet work, and, worse, the heels seem to pull the shoe -- and your foot -- down rather than lift you up.
On the other hand foot, the chunky stacked heel on the Tabitha open toe black patent pumps (Michael by Michael Kors; also available in matte leather upper) adds the shoe, with its industrial-style metal grommets and two-eyelet decorative lace-up vamp. It's somehow fashionably sturdy looking in a sexy classic way...
Both shoes on sale (50% and more off!), found via Shop It To Me Sale Mail.
In my erotic shoe fetish newsletter, The Pump & Grind, I've been researching the appeal of high heels. But this is one explanation which isn't so naughty that I need to reserve it for "adults only" -- though I will warn you, this post regarding historical use of high heels keeping the wearer from the underworld is at a NWS blog.
Fascinating reading; but you'd best read it at home *wink*
And other delightful winter shoe novelties, 1947 Gardiner shoe ad.
My Sale Mail alert from Shop It To Me notified me that the silver satin Vella by Nine West is 30% off!
There's 15% off all shoes at shoemall with code CSHOEMALLJN. (Coupon good until June 21, 2010, or while supplies last; up to $300 max discount.) I'm lovin' the J. Renee' Elvira Sandal in sage. (But then again, you know I have a weakness for basic black too lol)
The mesh back on the Valentino Mesh Bow Sandal looks so much like the sexy Cuban heels on stockings!
The sparkling Nightingale Crystal evening sandals are on sale for just $43.60. That's a savings of $65.40!
