Like I said before...

I am not very fond of shoes (or any other footware) made in China. If you think I have no reason for being so snob, check out La Coquette's adventure with a certain boot.

How about this pair?

This is really pretty from Marc Jacobs. It's available in the couture section of Zappos!
It's a bit more expensive but like the Manolo says, a girl should save so that she can afford the real thing.

This is such a great deal...

Less than $47 at Zappos!



And to top it off, it's made in Italy. They're from Via Spiga. How much sweeter could that be?

This one is another story...

I really love the shape of this coat but besides the price ($298) and the fact that I did buy a J. Crew coat last year, I am not totally sold on the color. I don't have that much pink and green items in my closet. But how I love it, let me count the ways... Once again availble at Anthropologie.

Lusting over...

this pair of beautiful slingbacks available at Anthropologie. How pretty... It's on my Christmas list, so hopefully I shan't be lusting over these much longer!

Currently listening to...

"From the Choirgirl Hotel," Tori Amos. One of my all time favorites!

A Dry Season...

After purchasing quite a bit of shoes, lately I have been on a dry spell. Well, I did purchase three pairs of Dr. Scholls shoes. They were so dirt cheap, how could I resist? On a recent trip to Providence, RI, I had a chance to visit some decent stores and even a Nordstrom--yep, that's right, my current place of residence is rather lacking in the upperscale store department,--although everything was decent there was really nothing that caught my eye. On my ebay browsing, there also has not been anything extraordinary. Wait, I do recall a pair of YSL that I got recently for a great deal--less than $40 and they fit so well on my feet that I think I should wear that style of shoe all the time... I will try to locate a picture and post it sometime in the future. Before I can wear them I still need to take them to the cobbler so that he can put some rubber protector on the soles and heels. Actually, I need to do that for several pairs of shoes...
