Sam Studelman

Sam Edelman is my all-time favourite shoe designer, mostly for flats.  I have been swooning over these studded heels, though.  I love anything studded, if you'll remember from here and here (hello Valentino!)

How do you feel about studded heels?

Ankle Strap Flats

Ever since I saw a pair of Bellofatto black ballet flats with an ankle strap, I regret not getting them.  Love this look for summer, especially the nude colour.  What do you think?

I ouldn't find the Bellofatto online, but here's a similar look by

Gabriella Rocha, $79.99 (Endless)



Belle by Sigerson Morrison $250 (Saks Fifth Avenue)



Chloe $475 (Totokaelo)

BCBG + Libby

I went to the Petite Feet Sample Sale today, VIP day, and although I really wanted some colour block shoes, there wasn't a great selection of the summer/fall styles I've been eyeing online.  I did however, score myself a gorgeous pair of Libby Edelmans which are from her Fall 2011 collection, in a beautiful grey flannel with silver studs and a lovely silver heel. I adore the Tiffany blue colour and detailing inside the shoe. I also wanted a pair of shiny pumps for wedding season coming up this Spring/Summer, so I found a pair of cute open-toed BCBG pumps in a croc silver finish. Nothing like shopping at DSW, but not too shabby at $50 each, and I love that the Libby Edelman's won't be available until later this year.  It's always fun to see women carrying buckets FULL of shoes to the check-out counter...I did the same two years ago, but this year, I wasn't as impressed.

Shoe Closet

Spring = Spring Cleaning, right?

I cleaned up my closet and realized I have about 100 pairs of shoes, which I like to think is average for women?  How many pairs of shoes do you own?

I use a couple of the antique white Akada shoe organizers from Home Depot in my closet along with Ikea shoe compartments and racks for the rest of the pairs in the front hall closet.

How do you keep your shoes organized?

Style'n had a great TIP for keeping your boots all lined up! Check it out here.

Here's my closet followed by some pretty stunning shoe closets, don't you think?  *SIGH*

(I love the two black and white images! So classic!)

Milk & Honey

Have you heard about this?
Started by sisters Ilissa and Dori Howard, you can design your own shoes over at Milk & Honey.

For $250 you can design your own pair of heels and for $200 your own pair of flats.

All shoes (except rush orders) take approximately 6 weeks to produce. (check out their "how it works" page for more)

The only problem after all that work is, what if they don't fit?

Well, they have a policy for that too:  you can return or exchange unworn shoes within 30 days.

Have any of you tried this?  Is it something you would do?

I'm so tempted!

I love this pair from their inspiration gallery as it mimics the Valentino's I so covet!
