http://www.triads.co.uk/images/products/zoom/1232985756-18100600.jpg

in the last week. the second ones (by shofolk) are beautifully made inside as well as out.

i want these too

http://www.sixwhitingstreet.co.uk/images/White-Enamel.jpg

but think i might be going a bit overboard at the moment. should i buy or not? i'm not flush but i have a bit put by for treats.

i love the way those look totally generic but refined at the same time.

put by - put aside in scottish.

i like the blue ones!

yes me too - straight early 80s in a good way i think!

haaaalp!!!

i need wedding shoes, and i know pretty much what i want, which is this style in white. but i ordered them and they are darker than fucking cream, and not even close to 'off-white'. i have searched high and low on the internetz and i can't seem to find this kind of thing. any ideas??

i got these (in black) in brooklyn this wkend (yaay nyc <3)

(longest url ever.)
they look oddly old-ladyish in pic, but are super cute on, and comfortable. once again, i go for the adult version of what i wore when i was like 6. lol/yaay :)

cute!
finally got some black flats :D

now need walkable black pumps with a decent heel. sigh.

how come i can't see anything

I can't see 'em either (in voice of Blossom from PowerPuff Girls).

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B002V1IZFI.01._SS1500_SCRMZZZZZZ_.jpg

is that it?

Oh WOW but then, I love old lady shoes. If the perforations on the front were slightly less flower petal-y, I'd run out and buy those myself.

Well, and if I had any money....

whoops, meant to do the right thing and flickr them but was being lazy! thx dyao :)
yes, i do love them! i have a soft spot for anything that reminds me of my childhood buster browns or whatevs, oh sigh, at least the heel makes me feel less twee, haha...

yeah so now all i need are ankle boots, a new pair of kicks and okay another pair of boots (non-winter)
SHOES
<3

recently purchased a pair of dove-grey suede bucks and they are amaaaaazing

cosign! i have a pair of dove-grey suede bucks (opening ceremony), they rule

halp! i am looking for a stylish boot, or work shoe, so comfortable that i will never cave to the temptation to wear my ASICS running shoes to work again.

posted these to noize but man, i really want them!! (in black) i'm not a big keds fan but these! art!

two-tone wing tips?

ty and now on to ebay :D

no prob

Just got my income tax rebate, no longer broke, finally able to get a pair of shoes that are not my runners, my dress shoes or my dying (let's be honest, dead) pair of chuck taylors.

Of course, I do not know shoes. Time to read this thread start to finish.

laurel look! fake ghillies made by designer isabel toledo for PAYLESS. not sure the point of these, but i can't help but like them a little bit. i am a sucker for fake dancing shoes. i regularly wear a pair of low heeled tan character shoes when i need a neutral heel for work.

ps they come in silver too!

lolololol I saw those yesterday and thought maybe we could use them for parades or something when you have to walk a lot! Maybe. I'll mention it and see if anyone bites. Hee.

please tell me people aren't wearing these. they are HIDEOUS.

i need new boots!

please help!

requirements:
- black
- mid-calf to higher-mid-calf (i have short legs and fat knees so knee length doesn't work all that well on me)
- preferably leather
- a little bit of a heel, maybe 1.5-2.5" max
- must be comfortable

also

- under 200 bucks

kind of digging these

http://www.zappos.com/images/z/1/1/9/1198750-p-2x.jpg

heel is a little low but they're clarks so they're probably comfy??

cuuuuuuuuuuuuuute

on a slightly related note, i would also love these to wear with some cute high-heeled t-bar shoes i have:

http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_430xN.181006294.jpg

Personally sometime-ilxor LP has got me hooked on some Cuban-heeled Beatle boots:

I do like the idea of a spat revival, though, j. Very much so.

pointy toes don't work so well for me. i wish i could just buy another pair of the 3cco biker boots i had a couple of years, but they make an updated version - of which i have a pair now - that aren't nearly as nice.

i LOVE spats. and legwarmers. they are basically a girl's bestfriend if she has fat ankles she doesn't want to show off (e.g. me).

those spats are on etsy, and they're REVERSIBLE!! http://www.etsy.com/listing/58280118/little-red-riding-spats-reversible

think i might get a pair.

i like these too

http://l3.zassets.com/images/z/1/2/4/1246308-p-DETAILED.jpg

i am a sucker for a wedge heel

My first impulse re the etsy spats, is that I would prefer them to have a strip of elastic under the shoe, right under your arch, because if they shifted just a little bit, that COOOOOOOLD winter breeze is going to right up your ankle. Better keep 'em in place from the start!

If you want biker boots, get the original Fryes, is my recommendation.

since she's an etsy seller, you could probably ask her to add some kind of stirrup? i want them in a deep olive green velvet/corduroy.

Those are spectator shoes, right?

Yes, but Kate's "two tone wing tips" wasn't wrong either. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectator_shoes

ok i am still waiting for the clarks to arrive, but now i am ALSO thinking i need cowboy boots! what is the consensus on these?

i've got my eye on these durango boots, since they are super cheap but apparently ridiculously comfy, according to 99% of reviews:

I'm a big fan of Justin ropers, got a pair in dark red and a pair in grey. They're great w/ pants and skirts/ dresses. Yours look nice too J. I'm loyal to Justin tho. I have 2 pr of their lacers as well.

Justine I tried on those Clarks recently and they're lovely. I had a certificate for a free pair of Clark's shoes and ended up going with different ones but those are ace.

Those triple-button Clarks boots are the cutest things ever, for real. I have so many nice boots but I'm not yet convinced it ever gets close to being cool enough here in Tucson to wear such things here. Maybe a few weeks in January, we'll see.

the clarks are a no-go :(

the front part sticks out too much, i wanted something a little sleeker that would look cool with dresses, but these just didn't work.
