Remember when I blogged about Rag and Bone's Victoria wedge, in that lovely rose-nude color? And they were too expensive, and too high anyway, and I didn't know if I'd ever find something like it, and boo hoo 1st world problems me?
Well, of course, my resourceful shoe-stalking yielded results, and a couple of months back I bought these sandals from Dolce Vita, all in anticipation of the warm weather ahead:
I actually preferred the color of the Pali instead:
Since it's a little more pink, a little more like the original Victoria, but have heard that the lower-priced Pali is a leather upper lined in vinyl (aka fake leather aka man-made materials) and hurt quite a bit and cut your feet, whereas the more expensive Pela is all leather and feels amazingly soft. I haven't tried the Pali, but my Pelas are lovely, and very comfortable, and I was able to wear them constantly when I took a visit home last month, where it was tropical and warm. And of course I didn't pay full price, people. I try not to buy if I can't get some kind of discount. It has to be true shoe love for me to pay retail.
Anyway, while I was telling a friend about my latest shoe obsessions, I came across these kick-ass sandals by Tsubo:
They are just getting cooler and cooler, the people at Tsubo. You know I have a soft spot for their shoes because they fit my feet perfectly and are super comfy, and let me have height without pain. I do not need another pair of black sandals, but if I did, and if I hadn't cut myself off, I'd be jonesing for these, big time. They're pretty sexy, and a more wearable take on the Prada mohawk shoe:
Ok, that's me for today.
