A Pretty Pair to Brighten Up Your day...Oscar de la Renta

I've neglected this section in my blog for 2 weeks now, I usually have this every Mondays - boo me! :o

Anyways, without further ado, here is today's pretty pair:

I'm sure most of your are thinking that these look too much like a wedding shoe but I think they're fabulous for a non wedding day! You can wear them with jeans, a dress with a full skirt and maybe some mid length capri pants.

This d'orsay style of shoe really reminds me of the Carrie Bradshaw/Sex and the City days. Remember her Manolos that got stolen? I think I fell in love with the d'orsay style when I saw that episode, and even if that was years and years ago, i'm  glad that some designers are still making them.

These days there so many "edgy" shoes like gladiators, oxfords, flatforms (ugh), over the top strappys, huge platforms and so on. While I don't have anything against those shoes (well maybe I do with some, teehee) I still love a beautifully made, exquisite and NON chunky shoe. I like to call them the "delicate" shoes (thought of this term in this post.)

I found these here.

Aperlai One Wing Sandal

Okay, I am making the name of this shoe up. In it's description it's actually called "Leather and Snakeskin Slingback Platform Sandals"

picture from here.

Don't you think though that they look like a half wing?

I don't know about you guys but I absolutely love this shoe! It's unique, has the greatest color combinations and textures (nude and snakeskin) and is ofcourse by Aperlai. In case you are new to my blog see my Designer Shoelight on this brand here.

New In

SO I have mentioned a few times in some of my entries that one of the suppliers of my nice shoes are none other than my two fabulous sisters! Since they are both based in other cities that have nicer shoe choices, they never hesitate to bring me back some goodies once in awhile!

The latest of  said goodies are these:

Love the red bow and piping!

These are from New Look and they are still available in their website, in case anyone's interested.

Shoed or Shoed Not? first edition

So I came up with another section for this blog and it's called "Shoed or Shoed Not?" meaning: should you or shouldn't you like OR buy this particular pair of shoes?

There are times when I go shoe shopping and  happen to chance upon an UH-mazing pair of shoes. I pick it up, admire it and all is good...until I turn it over and find that the heel is an ugly piece of 3 inch chunk. humph. Or that the platform isn't right and so on. These are the shoes that just have a "je ne sais quoi" but in a wrong and bad way. It's a great pair of shoes but somehow you feel like something isn't right about it.

And SO, that's how I came to have this section. I will be showing a pair in each post that I think is pretty great but feel like they need more validation to be considered an awesome (or not so awesome!) pair of shoes.

I'd also love to hear from you guys if y'all think that it's a shoed or shoed NOT pair!

The first pair is this Max Studio one that I found in DSW shoes.

So I actually love the gold color and the sort of butterfly straps in the ankle. They SORT of remind me of these gorgeous gold aperlai sandals (see here in my twitter). Of course the Aperlais are so much more gorgeous, but anyways moving on!

Yes, at first glance it looks pretty (especially as a small icon) but once I enlarged it I started seeing a lot of things that were wrong with the shoe.

First complaint: the platform and the heel. Um why did they have to have this kind of white-ish color? Second: the pointed front part. This kind of style does not look nice with the white platform. It kind of makes the shoe look cheap.

I think maybe if there was no platform I could tolerate the heel in this present color.

What do YOU guys think?

Is it a shoed? or a shoed not?

Nina Bejeweled Sandal

Browsing randomly at DSW shoes brought me to this pair:

I love everything about from the blue satin combined with the gold heel, to the meshed area and then topped off with a bejeweled thingy. Oh and did I mention that I LOVE t-strap shoes???

Here is a close-up of the front part of the shoe, Love the mesh and those stones together!

They also have it in a sort of berry and burgundy color, its pretty gorgeous too!

They have it in black and silver as well but for me, those two colors don't make as much of an impact as the blue and the burgundy. The black and silver versions look really ordinary... See what a difference color can make?

The heel is not super high, it's 4inches but for this type of sandals, i guess it's okay to not make it toooo high. They're pretty enough already!

Find them here.

A Pretty Pair to Brighten Up Your day

Today's pair is a pair of Loubs.

picture from this link

This pair is from their Spring 2012 collection. They look like they have the shape of the Pigalle Pumps, but instead have tis lovely gold texture all over and a gorgeous detailed bow. See the bow up close:

They're no ordinary bows I tell you! I really love the shape of this shoe,I love that the front part of the shoe is kind of receded toward the toes and then topped off with this pretty bow - I think it would really make the feet look so dainty!

Siiiiigh. This shoe is soooo pretty. definitely on my must lust list! (I say must lust because I can't afford it! Definitely a must buy if you have the moola!)
