A new month, a new pair of kicks. I’m obsessed with The Office of Angela Scott. These “Miss Billy Boots” are show-stopping stylish. These run a tad bit small, so I sized up a full size. Stacked leather heel, inner side zip and a stylish white leather stripe. Love, love, love!
Sneaks that mean all business. From “The Office of Angela Scott”, meet The Hammonds. A poplin kick with a screen-printed black stripe wrapping around the side. Polished enough for the office, comfy enough for the street, sure to make a statement…a great summer style.
Felicia, a street-styled, yet sophisticated, platform wedge sneaker bootie by “Linea Paolo”. The perforated leather is clean and sporty, with a cool sneaker inspired look., 2.5″ wedge, side zip, and contrasting slip resistant sole. Claimed to run true to size, although I felt they ran a little big. Stylish enough to dress up or down, comfortable enough to wear all day.
A shoe sale! It figures, my size was out of stock. But you could “opt in” to be notified if your size became available, so I did. Because that never happens. I didn’t realize “opt in” was an auto purchase. Imagine my surprise when these stylish kicks arrived. To say I’m in love with the double G gold-tone hardware is an understatement – per Gucci’s website its “a contemporary play on the Running G belt buckle from Gucci’s 1970s archives”. The Gucci Victoire GG Patent Pump – a self covered black patent mid-heel, about 2″ (I consider this a flat, not a mid heel), with round toe and blue rosebud printed lining and leather sole – distinctive nod o the Pre-Fall 2018 Gucci collection.
Some reviewers said it ran large.
It does not.
Some said it runs wide.
It does not.
I’m testing these out on carpet and I would love it they stretched a bit, to give a little more wiggle room in the toe box.
I paired these with rolled up jeans, white t and a black blazer and I look like a page out of a fashion magazine. Understated elegance.
Pricey?
Yes, even on sale.
Worth it?
Absolutely!
No regrets!
An ad popped up in my facebook feed. Intrigued, I clicked on it.
Stylish slippers for this high heeled gal?
The website claimed “TIME Slippers are designed to help you recharge so you can spend your life doing what really matters.”
Hmmm stylish sneakers.
A few clicks later. I bought the TIME Slippers leather low top slipper. With a 6mm yoga mat insole, wool lining and stretch laces. I chose black leather with white trim. They have a flexible neoprene back heel –for versatility – can be worn down as a slip on mule or fitted to hug your heel. I have made these my official house slippers. Once I get home, I immediately change into these stylish slippers and recharge my feet. I can honestly say they are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn that aren’t high heeled.
Casual, stylish, comfortable and affordable.
This is my first pair. It won’t be my last.
I can’t believe it’s the end of March and this is my first post for 2019. I’m not sure what is going on with the footwear industry, but I just haven’t found any shoes that inspired me or stopped me in my tracks. That is until I came across these practical little booties by Frye. The “Ray Harness” bootie. This is going to be the bootie everyone will want. It’s got a Western edge but the iconic harness rings and cut out sides give it a moto vibe. Zip closure at back and it sports a 1.5″ heel. Padded insole and very comfortable to walk in.
Another day, another bad-ass borrowed from the boys, menswear style from The Office of Angela Scott. Kick it up a notch with the “Mrs. Doubt Mid-Heel” … a lace-up brogue with stamped croc and patent leather and a 2.5″ solid heel. It’s a shoe that can be worn with everything. Go ahead, make those ripped jeans looks extra fancy!! These kicks are extra comfy thanks to the cork insole that molds to your foot.
“Mr. Logan Lug Oxford” from The Office of Angela Scott. I love the name of these shoes and the name of this brand as much as I love the actual shoes. Bold yet playful, the shoes come with a set of solid black laces and a pair of played up red/black striped ones. Consciously constructed with a 1.2″ heel and rubber lug sole, Italian leather uppers and finished with gold-tone hardware – these might be the best constructed shoes I’ve ever owned. Cork insoles absorb shock and mold to your feet. With a company tagline “For women who mean business…badass shoes tailored to reveal your strengths.” These kicks kick ass! Customer service is also the best I’ve ever experienced from a brand. I sure hope they consider opening up a pop up “office” in Chicago!
Never say never. This city girl has moved to the north shore “suburbs”. After 2 days, shin splints from walking in high heels while on the move to/from a train, I had to buy some more practical walking shoes. The hunt was on for a stylish commuting shoe. And although it seemed like slim pickings at first, I found “Codie” from Vionic. Due to the popularity of athleisure wear, stylish sneakers are still hot, but they aren’t exactly cheap. As for sizing, I had to size down half a size. Most flat shoes have zero arch support, these have an built in arch support, and that cushion is what sold me. A minimalist, modern, black leather flat with elastic accents and contrasting sole. My feet will be comfortable and stylish until I can get to the office and put on my heels.
I am a fan of anything Rag and Bone, especially when it’s on sale! The “Ellis” sock boot is trendy, stylish and comfortable. It shows off your sporty side with the contrasting white-knit stripes. A slim, clean profile, knit boot with a skinny 3.5″ block heel – minimalist perfection for summer and fall styles.
