Shopping Fast BROKEN!

Need Supply's 30-percent-off-sale sale was too good to pass up. And so, it seems, were these:

80%20 "Heide" wedge booties, $35 with code "extra30." I hemmed, I hawed, and then I decided to stop pussying around and hit "buy."

Something's gotta sustain me while I'm on this crazy no-caffeine, no-booze monthlong crazy train. (Seriously!)

The 3 Best Shoes I Bought This Year

This was a pretty good year for the economy, for iPad owners, and for me, because I bought some puhretty sweet shoes. Here are three of the best pairs of shoes I purchased this year. (In case you were wondering.)

1.) Ce Ce Chin Sloan Black Lace Pump

The kind people at Shoeaficionado.com, which is like Gilt Groupe but strictly for shoes, sent me a gift certificate for a free pair, and I got these Ce Ce Chin -- she's the designer behind 80%20 -- black lace overlay pumps with a beaded heel inspired by vintage perfume bottles.

Here's a better image of the heel's detail:

I wear them with black skinny jeans or my black Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress.

2.)  Matiko Leila Studded Loafers

($119.50, Matiko, Solestruck.com)

I got these Matiko studded loafers back in July at Solestruck, which has a really excellent collection of boutique brands at affordable prices. They're obviously um, "inspired" by Christian Louboutins. I love them, but within just a few months, some of the studs fell off, and by this point the heels are starting to get small holes in them, though mainly because I guess I walk like somewhat of a total freak. They're deep within the winter of their lives, but for $100, they were well worth it. 

 

3.) Haus Of Price Seashell Booties

($245, Haus Of Price, StantonJames.com)

Yes, indeed I did spend over $100 on black booties covered in seashells. I got these Haus Of Price handmade booties from StantonJames, which I WISH had a location in New York, by the way, and they are absolutely my everything. When I unboxed them, it was like unboxing a thrill, and not even my husband's "were those an arts and crafts project made by residents of a nursing home" inquest was enough to dissuade my instant love. They're SUPER comfortable, and my only complaint is that some of the shells got crushed, but that's the price you pay for wearing shoes covered in real shells. It's a risk worth taking. Anyway, my Haus Of Price booties mean the world to me, they are my everything. Essentially, they're the bootie version of my favorite Toni Braxton song.

Shoe Aficionado: That's Me!

It should really be aficionada, but whatevs. Shoe Aficionado is one of those flash-sale shopping sites, and it's all about my favorite piece of clothing. (Must. stop. shopping!) Right now they've got 80%20 and Ce Ce Chin as the featured brands, and coming up is Steven by Steve Madden. Of course, because I am a lover of their hidden wedges, I snagged these:





80%20 Joannie ankle boot in olive green, $44. Totally gonna rock these all fall long.

I'M BACK, BITCHES!

As Mac says, WHAT'S UP, BITCHES? I'm back! My apologies for the lag, which I'm sure was soul-crushing, but I was off getting MARRIED!!!! Meanwhile, Catherine was VERY BUSY carrying my train (jk -- I didn't have a train -- SO FUSSY!). Anyway, let's get the BAWL ROLLIN' again, shall we?

($135, 80%20, Moxsie.com)

I am VERY MUCH INTO these leather/ cork/ peeptoe/ perforated/ tassled wedges. It's SO many ingredients in ONE shoe. It's like a shoe casserole.
