Spring Shoes!!

Now that Seattle is experiencing an early spring the past 3 days (and 2 more to come), I am thinking about spring clothes and of course spring shoes.

Does that include a Gladiator sandal this year - NO!!  But of course I love my wedges, so am excited to get some new ones in the months to come.  Here are a couple strong contenders, and one strappy sandal I'm on the fence about.  Thoughts on this orange strappy heel?? (all from Nordstrom)

Spring Trend Watch: Super cute Tory Burch flip flop

I'm very excited to see the Tory Burch rubber flip flop back for spring/summer. Last spring, I got some ocean blue ones, and LOVE them. Very excited to see the new color line up for 2010. Now, if the sun would just come out.....Will pray for an early spring.

P.S. FYI - the Northwest has it's very own new Tory Burch store, over in Bellevue

Spring Trend Watch: Ladies, the Gladiator is back!!

Arrrgghhhh.... my shoe nemisis, the gladiator sandal, is back for another season. Just got a new Nordstrom catalog in the mail today and saw these by Steve Madden. Sigh. I can't win....

Speechless!!

These shoes might actually make me want to buy a demure gladiator sandal.
I don't even know what to say - at a loss for words (which is usually hard for me). Discuss amoungst yourselves.

Looking for new Fall Boots? Please, not these

Ok look, I do get the whole Doc Marten thing.....but it was very early 90's. Let's not go there again. I would like to thing we've evolved.

And yet, the knock-off version is still out there... in a knee high... in tartan plaid.... WHY???? Could this be appealing to Emo kids? I have no idea - my finger is not on the pulse of "kids these days".

I really don't want to see more feet....

In the Northwest, when late May comes around, out come the trusty flip flop, Teva, Birkenstock, Keen shoe, etc. etc.... I think we see enough feet all summer long. But oh no!! This company has decided that even in the dead of late fall, say, at the Butterfly House @ Pacfic Science Center in Seattle, WA, one must continue to see feet.... in the form of this:

Is there some new "barefoot" movement? Does this somehow play into "going green"? I'm sooo confused?

A General Shout Out

Just wanted to give a Shout Out to my good friend, Naarah, for providing me excellent horrible shoes to blog about (please note upcoming posts). And now her hubby, Jason, comes into the mix with a truly bizarre excuse for a shoe - he wasn't sure of the name, but after several BING! searches, BING! came thru for us......
