Stylish Sneakers: Rose Gold Nike Cortez

I still love my heels but these days, I’ve been into sneakers and love finding ones that are a little bit out of the norm.  I fell in love with these rose gold ones and had to get them the second I saw them!  Not only are they cute, they are so lightweight and comfortable.

NIKE CORTEZ
 
 

I love that you don’t have to go super casual to wear sneakers these
days.  I’ve been wearing them with jeans and blouses or even dresses.  I
love being able to dress up but wear these fun, comfy shoes!

Mine are the Nike Cortez and I also found these versions with black that are super cute too.  They also have them in white with rose gold swoosh and black with rose gold swoosh!

 

I’m also a fan of the and love that they come in rose gold now!

 

And I also have my eye on these Nike Air Max Thea.

The shoe every blogger is wearing

The IT shoe for spring

I feel like there’s always a “blogger shoe” of the season where you see the same shoe on every blogger.  But I completely understand why as they are always the cutest shoes ever and I always want them too!  This season is the Marc Fisher Adalyn and I was dying to get my hands on them. I finally got them and yes, I love them!  It’s currently rainy and nasty (we just got snow a few days ago and it’s been horrendous weather since!) so I can’t wear them just yet but I’m excited to when it finally gets warmer out.

comfort and fit

They fit true to size but if you have wider feet you may want to go up half size.  I find that wearing them for long periods of time, your feet can feel a bit pinched.

The wedge itself is also a bit heavy so just be prepared for that!  Other than that, I find them to be very comfortable and easy to wear.

There’s so many versions: open toe, closed toe, perforated, I love them all!

chloe dupes (look for less)

I do have to mention that these were most likely inspired by these Chloe wedges.  These were from last year and they have a new version this year with scallops!  So cute. But at $660 I think I’ll stick to the Marc Fisher ones and save $500 🙂

(credit unknown, let me know if you are the owner!)

See the wedges on me!  I’ve worn them so many times with so many outfits.  They go with everything!

I FOUND A MORE AFFORDABLE DUPE!  Yes, it’s the exact same shoe but $100 less!  I ordered them and will post my review of both soon.

Shoe Haul! Sequins and Oxfords

Processed with VSCO with a5 preset

Latest additions to my shoe closet!

Sparkle!  I’m all heart eyes for these.  I’m still deciding on the outfit but I know I will be wearing these for New Year’s Eve!

http://amzn.to/2idhvxy
SEQUIN PUMPS ($66)
SKIRT ($34, its 50% off!) 
These are a bit unlike me but after seeing platform oxfords on several people I just had to try them out.  I wore these for a week straight when I got them in and now I want them in the nude too! Oh and they are under $30, which is crazy because for the quality they look and feel much more expensive.  I was at Nordstrom and saw some platform oxfords and they were very comparable to these but twice the price.  I went a half size up on these.  Make sure to check their size chart and recommendations they list for your size.

PLATFORM OXFORDS ($28)
JEANS HAT BAG

On another note, I just saw this Amazon Luxury Beauty box and had to share.  You get 20 samples of high end beauty products for $19.99 but what’s even better is that you can apply the $19.99 as a credit to your next beauty purchase on these products. I just love this idea to be able to try out all these products before buying!  I believe you have to be a Prime Member to be able to even get this set.  If you are not a Prime Member yet (which you should be, I am a huge fan!) Try it out here, you get a 30-Day Free Trial

Tips on how to get designer shoes on sale + my Louboutin sale haul

Nothing like a good shoe sale to make a girl happy, am I right? 🙂

I only buy shoes a few times a year and that’s during designer shoe sale time!  I’ve shopped these shoe sales for so many years that I’ve got it down to a science.  People are always asking me how where I get my shoes and how I find them on sale so I made a video to share my tips and tricks!  It’s not as simple as just stumbling upon a sale and buying them off the rack as there are so many other ladies wanting to nab the good shoes as well.  In my video I share how I score great shoes on sale both in store and online.  I also share my most recent shoe sale haul which happen to all be Louboutin – I share with you where I got them and how much I saved!  Check it out below.

Shopping for: Lace up Pumps

Crystal wrote about her love of lace up flats (which I’m a fan of too!) but I am so obsessed with my lace up pumps and I’m on the hunt for more!  If you follow me on instagram you may have seen my recent post with them.  And since I wore them 3 times this week I decided I need to look for more before these get too worn out! (Get mine here, they come in 3 colors)

I found quite a few that I’m in love with!  I ordered a ton and can’t wait to get them all to see which ones I like best.  I have to say that Missguided has an amazing selection and they are all priced under $60!  I’m not sure about quality since I’ve never ordered shoes from them before but will give it a try and let you guys know what I think.  And they are doing 20% off all shoes with code bonus20 so a great time to buy!

Shoedazzle Christa Review

Last weekend, my friend Carolyn of Hey Pretty Thing invited me to a brunch she was hosting with Shoedazzle.  They sent me a pair of shoes to wear to the brunch.  They let me choose the style, so it wasn’t a surprise, but the big surprise was that when they arrived, I fell in love!  I admit, I’m a bit of a shoe snob.  I do own a good amount of designer shoes and that’s mainly because I find that they just tend to be more comfortable and in my opinion worth the price tag.  I’ve worn and kept most of my designer shoes way longer than any of my non designer brands so the investment is worth it in the long run.  However I haven’t seen a design like these before and I’ve been mildly obsessed with tassels on bags and shoes lately so I chose these and I just had to share as they are now one of my favorite pair of shoes!

What I wore to the brunch, which I had such a great time and got to hang out with some blogger friends and met some new blog friends!
NECKLACE TOP JEANS SHOES

These retail for $49.95 but while I was on the site I joined the “VIP” club and they were offering 75% off a pair of shoes… so definitely worth checking out if you are interested!  Quality wise – they are inline with most man-made material shoes that I’ve come across.  I really love the gray and the pink combo and the tassels are such a great detail.  The tassels can be annoying though, if you don’t tie them tight, they will come undone and suddenly you are kicking around a bunch of tassels.  Comfort wise – these are 5 inch heels so keep that in mind.  I’m used to heels so I’m fine in them but for somebody who’s not as used to heels, I’d probably advise to stay away as they really are quite high and there is not much padding in the footbed.  Brunch was in Capitol Hill and if you are familiar with that Seattle neighborhood, you will know that parking is impossible around there.  I found a spot 3 blocks away and walked to the restaurant and was fine in them.  I probably could not walk a full hour in them but to and from a restaurant is perfect.  They don’t make a size 5 in any of their shoes – which is annoying – why start at 5.5?  But I am wearing the 5.5 and they fit fine.  Since the heels are so high, your foot does end up falling forward while you walk but because I could tie them tight on my foot, they didn’t feel too big or fall off.

All the girls at brunch and our cute shoes!

p.s. I wasn’t asked to write this post – I really just wanted to share my cute shoes as I have never thought of shoedazzle as a good place to buy shoes but I have now changed my mind!

Manolo Blahnik Pacha Pumps

I have a weakness for shoes and when I see a pair that I love, I kind of obsess about them until I get them.  But one thing about me is that I rarely buy my designer shoes at full price.  I mean let’s be honest, $700 for a pair of shoes is CRAZY.  I wait until the designer shoe sale (one in the winter and one in the spring) and buy all my shoes at 40% off. (tip: they start at 40% off and then wait another 4-6 weeks or and then they end up at around 60% off)  And lucky for me a lot of the shoes that I’ve fallen in love with I’ve been able to get on sale (another tip: it helps to have a good sales person who looks out for your size!).  Sure it’s still expensive and you have to wait until the end of the season but for someone that loves shoes as much as I do, I have to wait for the sales to afford all the pretties that I own.

 
(as seen on my instagram)


However, there are a few instances where I just can not wait until sale season (when I’m pretty positive that my size will go or that style will never go on sale) and I feel like I need them NOW.  Which happened just recently with these Manolos.  I spotted them at Nordstrom, tried them on and decided I never wanted to take them off my feet!

Manolo Blahnik Pacha Pump

 
They are very similar to the popular “BB pump” which I have and love but I think this one is a bit more of a sexier shoe with a lower cut.  I’m crazy about the lace, I think it’s just such a gorgeous detail and then the cap toe, I mean, it’s just my perfect shoe.  I’ve really been into the pointy toes lately so these just fit everything that I wanted in a shoe.  I also have to say that I think they are actually very comfy and easy to walk in which I’ve found with my other Manolos.
I do love the classic look of the Manolo pumps, here are a few other styles that I’m loving:

Lace seems to be a thing for shoes now, other gorgeous lace shoe picks:
