Shoes For A-muse

Fancy Footed Fridays - CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN Daffodile 160 crystal-embellished suede pump vs Rachel Roy Kalyssa

Fri, 20 Jul 2012 11:27:19 -0400

Sometimes people ask me why do I post a lot of expensive designer shoes? I think people should be a little less close-minded and let the shoes inspire you! For instance I am obsessed with the Christian Louboutins above but on my budget and my fear of falling (THEY ARE 9”!!!!) I would opt for the Rachel Roy Kalyssa I posted yesterday for “Two Tall” Thursdays! They have the color and sparkles that I adore in the Louboutins but they are a more modest version that are more practical for my lifestyle. You can always make compromises for the present in order to make strides for what you really want in the future!

Which ones would you opt for? and On the Shoe For A-muse Rating Scale…how would they A-muse you?

"Two Tall" Thursdays - Rachel Roy, Kalyssa Platform Pumps

Fri, 20 Jul 2012 03:19:00 -0400

All that glitters is GOLD! Summer is a busy wedding season and these shoes would be great for Bridesmaid or a wedding patron! But don’t think you can use this as just a formal shoe…they have a lot of pattern so the could dress up a jeans and white tank top outfit or compliment a nice cocktail dress. At 6 1/4” You can find this shoes and a few different colors such as orange, yellow, blue and red at macys.com in the sourcing below and you can find the cute Taupe style and many other colors as well on the rachel roy website! The Color above is called Bronze Glitter.

Whistle Worthy - Two Lips Zig Zag Wedge Sandals

Wed, 18 Jul 2012 01:50:00 -0400

#Lady GaGa Style# I wouldn’t say that this is an every day shoes but obviously it is very whistle worthy! I am not sure if I would be walking anywhere near water as the picture depicts. I think that your feet would need some preparation before wearing in front of people. These are definitely one of those shoes that if you fell in them other people would laugh and say “Why did she think she could walk in those shoes anyway!” Nonetheless they are a-musing and should probably be kept in a museum!

Tip Toe Tuesdays - L.A.M.B Iowa Wedge Platform Sandal

Tue, 17 Jul 2012 11:23:01 -0400

It’s Tip Toe Tuesday and Gwen Stefani will definitely help you out tip toeing around town in some gorgeous L.A.M.B Wedges. I saw these on sale on Zappos for $265. Would you believe that they are on sale at Lord and Taylor’s for$137.99 I bet if you have a coupon it will be much less! Coupon Sales should be my middle name. I love getting quality things for sale prices! You just got to look around and sometimes be patient. I always tell people instead of going to cheaper stores and buying something of less value. Go to a store with a little more variety in quality brands and go straight to the sale racks. What you pay in the cheap stuff you could’ve used on the quality stuff on sale! I’m sure you can find a knock off of this shoe but I’m sure they won’t feel the same to your toesies. GO for the quality Ladies and that’s in everything in life!

They are so a-musing!

Made For Miles Monday - KORS MICHAEL KORS VAIL

Mon, 16 Jul 2012 11:30:33 -0400

For all those Ladies with an easy going summer dress code I thought these Michael Kors might be perfect! And plus they are PLB’s (Patent Leather Beauties)!!! I always encourage the purchase of a multi-functional shoes. Like most of my posts for Made for Miles Monday the “Vail” can make for an easy transition from work to events such as a cook out…( especially in this blazing East Coast Heat) And it doesn’t hurt that these 2 neutral colors would go with pretty much anything but if you hit the source link below you can also find a black suede, PLB in black and a red one with a cork heel. I would label this a sophisticated purchase that could be as essential as black stiletto pumps!

Subtle Sundays - Nine West Match Up

Sun, 15 Jul 2012 11:24:00 -0400

Anyone who says that wedges are not comfortable - Are Stir crazy people! Also they will never be “dress shoes”! But they are cute casual shoes just like these Nine West Match Up. I would love to see this with a beautiful white sun dress blowing in the breeze by the beach! The “Match Up” also comes in so many different colors…some subtle and some not so much. There is one for every girl’s amusing appetite! Click the source link below and check out all the colors/patterns!

Shoe Stopping Saturdays - Audrey Brooke Clarissa Patent Pump

Sat, 14 Jul 2012 11:29:00 -0400

What “stopped” me about these shoes was: 1. The color description of plum-pink and 2. it’s a PLB - Patent Leather Beauty. The color is very rich and the patent leather shine makes the shoe a glorious specimen. It is like a school shoe re-vamped. You have the laces as you did with your school girl uniform but now you have the sexy slingback style that is a bit more grown up! These little ladies are on sale and I would suggest a quick purchase for work or play!

Fancy Footed Fridays (Friday the 13th) - JIMMY CHOO Marlene feather and suede sandals

Fri, 13 Jul 2012 11:26:00 -0400

If you can’t be Fancy in these beautiful Feathers then you must be doing something wrong! But hopefully they can give me some luck!

When I see these I imagine watching Beyonce performing on a star studded stage and giving the audience a mind-blowing performance, and when you can’t get enough you zoom into her shoes and can’t believe she just performed in thesm. Sorry I just got lost day dreaming - I guess shoes will do that to a girl! But it would be a dream to own a pair of these, I NEED THESE IN MY LIFE!

"Two Tall" Thursdays - ALEXANDER MCQUEEN Lace-up leather wedge sandals

Thu, 12 Jul 2012 11:28:00 -0400

What can you say about these!!!!! Ahh let’s see I have a few adjectives - - Gorgeous, Dangerous, Seductive, Futuristic, Lady Ga Ga Worthy. There are lots more I can say but I’ll leave it there. This shoe towers at 7” with a 1.5” platform. I am very fond of platforms because they help level you off and don’t make you fell as though your toes are making a complete nose dive into hurting your big toe.

These are definitely A-musing!

Whistle Worthy Wednesdays - Ted Baker Carlina

Wed, 11 Jul 2012 11:17:00 -0400

“Spring and Summer Flurries of Beauty” is what I would like to call this shoe. It looks like a portait of a nature scene turned into a shoe! Sometimes i’m in awe of the Beauty of some shoes, but I am also in awe of Ted Baker’s Designs! His clothing design idea came about in my faithful birth year (1987) and the first store was opened in Glasglow, Scotland and then London and now there most recently opened a store in my nearby Wrenthem Premium Outlets. There are lots of florals in his deigns and lots of feminine european designs that I adore just as I believe these shoes are a-musing!!!!!

Tip Toe Tuesdays - RALPH LAUREN COLLECTION JAINA

Tue, 10 Jul 2012 11:24:00 -0400

I’ve been in a retro flash back mode lately. This men’s co-respondent (aka oxfords aka spectators) influence is definite a piece of elegance! These Ralph Lauren are elaborately classic. It is like listening to one of Beethoven’s great pieces, with all the subtle power. If you can’t get on your tip toes for these maybe you can slip into the flats below circa 1920.

Made For Miles Monday - Oscar De La Renta Scalloped Suede Pumpse

Mon, 09 Jul 2012 11:26:00 -0400

These Mustard Suede Pumps are adorable! Mustard has been a big hit this year! These will be great for the fall but still fit in with all the summer hues! Although they come at a hefty price I believe they are very sensible for work and give a pop of color that is fun yet still appropriate! Plus there is a bow (another one of my favorite accessories)! Bows are so young and girly but in this case it still dresses up your feet in womanly way! Keep counting those miles!

Subtle Sundays - My Amusing Appetite - Aldo Shuart

Mon, 09 Jul 2012 01:50:00 -0400

I actually bought these flat loafers in Orange while on my Triple threat Vacation in LA! They are so comfy! but they do rub against your back ankle a little bit. They are on sale in store and online for about $35 Bucks! I am very tempted to buy more colors especially these mint ones. (mint green is one of my new fav colors…I know I’ve sid it before) There is white and navy in leather and a few other colors.

Shoe Stopping Saturdays - Camilla Skovgaard Pumps - Saw 1 Pumps

Sat, 07 Jul 2012 11:23:37 -0400

It is summer….wear all the white shoes you want! But they also come in purple. I am actually not a fan of some fashion rules, so I would wear them after labor day as well! As long as you look good you have the right to do anything…well almost anything! What gets me about this Skovgaard original is the one little point at the bottom of the platform. Its such a small detail but I can tell you real shoe lovers would appreciate and take notice! This would definitely embellish a shoe stopping wardrobe!

Fancy Footed Fridays - Brian Atwood Charlene

Fri, 06 Jul 2012 11:22:45 -0400

I don’t know why but I could see a Charlene wearing these! Sometimes the shoe fits the name! These are very reminiscent of the 1920’s flapper style! This would be fun in a FLAPPER THEMED PARTY or could be paired with a form fitting little black dress! These might be a hard to find buy as I wasn’t able to find any legit sites to order them from but they are still a-musing!
