Toms Love

I have to be honest I've never worn a pair of Toms before, or tried a pair on for that matter. I see everyone wearing them, especially in the warmer months, and every time I think, "oh those look so cute and comfy I should get some." And then never do. I think the company's manifesto is beautiful, and I love that people like Blake Mycoskie had a big enough heart to start a company like this. I received their Spring catalog yesterday, and I think I've found the perfect pair, or two, to start my Toms collection with. Are you guys wearing Toms, if so, what kinds do you love?

Too Tall?

Being 5'9" I'm already pretty tall. Being in flats or sandals gives me a chance to be close to eye level with my petite friends. When I was younger I felt so awkward walking around in high heels, towering above most of the other girls. I feel like Godzilla attacking the shorter people around me.  But, as I got older and became more confident and comfortable in myself I was proud to show off my height no matter what footwear I sported.

But recently I've been wondering how tall is too tall? There are some shoes I have been coveting; but between the platform and the wedge height, they'll add about 5 inches to my height. That's putting me at 6'2"! And for the record I'm not moonlighting as a model, so my day to day life doesn't involve a runway to strut down.What do you guys think? Am I reverting back to my self-conscious self or should I embrace my gentle giant facade and rock the highest heels I can?

In the hue of blue, please

Just a quick little snapshot of my shoes and tights this morning. So far, these blue tights might be the smartest buy of my fall wardrobe.

Shoe Love

There comes a time in every girl's life when their mind becomes obsessed with shoes. You're having a Carrie Bradshaw moment and you think, "how can I go on living without this one pair of shoes?" Okay two. All right fine, three! I am suffering from one of these moments. I think maybe it's because everyone is starting to tempt me with new things for Fall, and I have a weak wallet towards boots and oxfords. Here are a few that are pushing me towards my limit. Dare I cave???

Below the Ankles

With the slight raise in temperature around here, and a Spring Break getaway to Florida in my near future, it has me dreaming of colorful shoes. Here are some that have my toes smiling.
