Pour La Victoire, Seriously Haute Shoes In Noir
March 17, 2009
Alright, I have shoes on my mind and I want something with a strong bold statement. Pour La Victoire is setting just the perfect mood for me- very high heels in a clasic black color, but incredibly rich with attitude.
Brazilian made and French inspired, Pour La Victoire’s shoes are indeed very fabulous.
Above is the Paige Sandal and Tia Platform Slide, both with a gorgeous heel and filled with straps. I think I prefer the Paige for every day wear since it can be worn with most anything, but there is something so dangerous and sultry about the Tia Platform that I cannot resist. Both are killer heels to take notice of. I am adding them to my list.
Classic black heels are fabulous, but sometimes you want a little more attitude or play in structure to reinvent the timeless look- perhaps why we can never have enough black shoes… though the same applies to shoes in any color, truly!
You can find them online from endless, zappos, or your preferable place to shop for shoes- I am loving these styles very much, definitely meeting my cravings.
In fact, the Sabrina Platform below has also caught my eye- has that rock and roll glamor look and feel to it. Quite fun!
Bombshell Shoes Of Beauty
February 24, 2009
Because who doesn’t love shoes? They’re fabulous and you know it, with so many styles, looks, and feels they are an endless joy to play with.
And play with them I will- it is one of my all time favorite things to do: relax at home with a cocktail while wearing a fabulous pair of shoes!
Sometimes I like to kick back and lounge around the house- my feet up dressed in some especially beautiful shoe and a cocktail in hand. Occasionally I will watch a movie or even paint my nails- but a cocktail and shoes are two loves that are just meant to be together.
And so with this in mind, a particular pair in my closet stood out to me last night- these bombshell beauties. A gorgeous unique heel, fabulous and sultry silhouette, polka dots (how adorable), a peek-a-boo toe and – yes, even a little cocktail garnish of its own!
Now, every time I wear these shoes it brings up a certain discussion- just what is that little decoration anyway? Personally, when I first saw them I thought them to be cherries. But then others came in protest, calling them peaches, apples, and even pineapples (really?). Whatever they are I think they are darling, and love the placement of them, too. But tell me, what do you think they are?
I am curious to know 
Oh, but I do love these shoes- they are so much fun and really play up an outfit. Definitely a perfect cocktail shoe! They are from Zinc, and when I first discovered them, I also found out that the same shaped shoe comes in many many patterns and textures- from cloth prints, to denim, to leather.
I just about had a fit and purchased each one I could find in my size- only ending up with two pairs, the ones you see pictured here and then another in a nude leather with a strap that wraps across the top of the foot instead of around the ankle (also absolutely adorable!). I have had them for years but they still have that same charm as the day I found them.
I love shoes!

Little Miss Aveline
February 8, 2009
It was only a matter of time before I introduced her, and so here she is: little miss Aveline. Wherever there are new shoes to be found, a new purse or other fashion accessory, even a new shopping bag- there you will find her.
Ever since she was a teeny tiny kitten, she has loved all things fashion (actually making my hat box into her bed, mushed hat included). Watching me do my make up with the brushes is something she has always loved, it is her favorite thing to do in the morning still to this day.
She is my little girl with the spotted belly and I call her Aveline. Very cat like, unlike her brother Ulric- she never knocks over anything- no matter how crowded a bookshelf may be, and is so quiet and quick you may never even see her. When her brother tries to mimic her moves, he knocks over items in the other room- not even close to her grace, though I still love him, too.
Kitties can be funny, and these two are constantly entertaining and keeping me happy. They know when a snuggle is in order or when to play, and they are always there in times of need. You’ve met Ulric in a previous post, now you have met my little Aveline as well.
She likes to nap with her little stuffed puppy toy, funny little thing.
She does love her belly rubs, as well. Such a cutie.
Looking Beautifully Blue With A Frosting-Like Glamor
January 17, 2009
Doesn’t it just look all shiny and radiant, yet yummy like frosting? Yay, it is officially here- my birthday! And of course I always love to dress the role. A party dress thought up just for the occasion- and of course, with the accessories and shoes to match.
I love it when three items match exactly- like this dress, shoes and purse. Absolutely adore the look and feel of it, and so I wanted to treat myself.
I purchased this dress at BCBG and the moment I saw it I knew it was mine. No questions about it, and it was brand new and no where near on sale. Didn’t matter, I knew we were meant to be. And when I tried it on and discovered it had pockets- its charm had me even more!
I *love* a short frilly dress with pockets, especially when they aren’t obvious. Something is just especially cute about it, and I feel like I have a secret that only I know. It make it extra cozy, too.
And it gets better- once I am home I realize that not only do I have a darling little clutch in the shape of a bow that matches in color, I *also* have darling high heels with a bow in the same matching color. Awesome! Never occurred to me until the instant I returned home, love when that happens. Old accessories become new again.
It is perfect, and you can imagine how pretty and fabulous I am feeling for my birthday! It is a beautiful day outside as well, sunny and refreshingly cool- I am delighted!
Dancing In Dior For New Year’s
January 2, 2009
Because a gorgeous dress should have a gorgeous shoe to match, at least I think so. A beautiful inspiration in itself, really.
Now, my new year’s eve dress was something of a special occasion dress- and had the colors to and shine to keep talking for you. Of course, a dress of that nature needs shoes that can keep up with out competing. There must be a balance.
And in this case, Dior came to my rescue with these matching beauties-
If the shoe is fabulous- wear it. And these are definitely fabulous. When I first purchased them I didn’t even have the dress in mind. I only knew that I loved them and had to have them. I would figure out how to mix it in my wardrobe later (after all, with color- when all else fails wear a simple black dress and bright shoes). I wasn’t worried about it.
Then it occurred to me that not only do I have a dress in these colors- I actually have two that match perfectly. I had gotten them some time ago and nearly forgotten. The shoes vamp up the dresses in a whole new light, not to mention how adorable they are on their own.
I love it when things work out like that- and don’t they always?
It seems whenever I find a shoe, usually of a questionable color or style that is to die for on its own, and am in love with it even though I am not sure how I will wear it- it always works out in the end. Things appear when you need them to.
Pretty Peachy & A Beautiful Shoe
October 24, 2008
It has been rainy these past few days, but something different has come about it this time- a crisp coolness is now officially in the air. It feels slightly like winter- enough to be pleasant and comfortable.
This means I can bring out the wraps, furs, tights, and other fashionable items which have been patiently waiting in my closet.
I collect random cute accessories as I find them, and when it comes to winter accessories I tend to put them away until the season arrives- not thinking too much into my wardrobe just yet.
So now that it is cool and I am able to brings such items out, I was anxious to finally wear this cashmere and wool wrap with the little bunny fur balls. Cashmere, wool, a delicate pink peach color I love, and fur- the perfect combination for me of what I love in fashion! So when I took this out I remembered I had a skirt of the same color that would go perfectly with it- add lace and a bow in the same shade- fashion perfection.
.
.
I don’t think I could have planned such a perfect match- I am quite pleased with the results.
I love how things work out that way! The look comes together as completely girly, classy, sophisticated, feminine and absolutely glamorous.
Now… about those shoes..
I do love a haute shoe, and I think these are gorgeous. Black and shiny with all the right curves- these are a classic fun shoe by Marciano from Guess. I couldn’t resist but indulge in these.
They have the cute allure of a Mary Jane but all the glamor of a high heel. The little curve from beneath the toes which are rounded and gold buckle of the strap separate it from other black pumps, keeping it unique and interesting.
These shoes stand out from a distance and can really vamp an otherwise ordinary outfit. I am having lots of fun with them and am looking forward to incorporating them more into my wardrobe.
Beautiful & Bold Betsey Shoes
September 17, 2008
Let’s talk about shoes, shall we. In my little spontaneous trip two of my purchases were Betsey Johnson Shoes.
There is no mistaking that bright pink box anywhere, or her shoes for that matter. They have a habit of standing out in their designs.
This is my new fun favorite little toy, the print is so bold and vibrant and the heel is simply devilish. Such a sultry little shoe- I love it.
It has just a subtle little peep toe opening in the front too, which gives it a unique little character.
A simple black dress certainly goes much further with this shoe. Little is necessary or otherwise it will compete. It is quite loud on its own (people have stopped me on the streets since I purchased them)!
Okay, now for the other pair- from red and black to black and white. Here we go.
This one is definitely younger in style and playful more than elegant. I love the black vinyl strap that wraps across the top- I think it is absolutely adorable!
Dots, little buckle, straps, open toe, and a high heel- how much fun is that? It’s precious and bold all together. What a delightful design!
Alright, more later. Much love and beautiful shoes, xx
Gorgeous Fashion And A Touch Of Michael Kors Shoes
August 30, 2008
It’s a gorgeous day outside and I am feeling great. So much so I brought out my favorite skirt. It is a cute little number from BCBG that is layered with that frilly feel without being obnoxious- its cute and I love it.
Normally I would wear a simple black fitted top, but today I decided to dress it with a long strappless black top that just hugs over at one end. Makes it look more like a dress and it is quite comfortable as well. Its classic with a little bit of fun from the skirt and subtle shape of the top.
Seeing as it is day time, I am wearing some clunkier bootie heels in a pretty gray color from Michael Kors. In the evening I would lean more to a classic black stiletto, but for now it is an excuse to wear these. I love them, they are a new purchase and are simply gorgeous.
They are sophisticated booties in my opinion- fun but with an elegant line and beautiful color. They are clunkier than what I would normally wear with this outfit, but then again what isn’t when compared to the spiked stilettos? As with all Michael Kors shoes, they are remarkably comfortable as well as stylish. And the price I find to not be outrageous which is a nice little bonus.
It is a fun shoe and one I wish to incorporate into my wardrobe more often.
Much love, xx
My cat, Aveline, seems to think so, too.Gorgeous Fashion And A Touch Of Michael Kors Shoes
