Shoes-Day!

For the last two holidays (well Zach’s Birthday and then Valentine’s Day), I’ve bought him shoes.  Perhaps I’m starting to morph my wants into his wants.  What do you think?

So this Shoes-Day is a little different.  I’ll highlight a pair of shoes, but what I really need is some help figuring out what to wear for a wedding I have next week in Kauai!

This week we’re highlighting Gianni Bini gold sandals, circa 2006 from Dillards in Florida:

Gold strappy sandals

I purchased these for a NYE party and they’ve turned out to be a fairly trusty go-to shoe for fancier events, weddings, etc.  However, they are also a bit ho-hum.

Below are some dress/shoe combinations that I can potentially wear for the wedding.  Keep in mind that it’s at a lovely restaurant right on the water on a Friday evening. 

(And excuse the horrid lighting that is in my bedroom.  As well as the post-work scruffiness…meep!)

Option 1

Option 2

Option 3

Option 4

Option 5

These are a close-up of the 3 pairs of shoes shown above:

Okay, so please help me out…which Option?

Or, scratch them all, go shopping this weekend and buy something completely different?

Shoes-Day! … Shoe Giveaway!

Yep, I decided to do it.  It’s high time for me to share my love of shoes with you!

Many of you have been bombarded with an already long winter and are yearning for spring and summer.  I got a taste of your pain (?) last week while in Boston and have to admit I was pleasantly pleased with returning to Cali’s 70 degree weather.

One of my go-to shoes is the sandal wedge.  I love them in neutral colors so they can be slipped on and will pair well with anything.  A good pair of wedge sandals are one the very few shoes I actually wear out!  In 2006, the bestie and I snagged a pair of the exact same Bakers wedges.  We both agreed they were perfect every day footwear and couldn’t pass ‘em up.  Well sadly, mine had been through the ringer one too many times and I feared a looming catastrophic fall if I didn’t give them up to the garbage gods.

However, that left me wedge-less.  Meep!  The horror, right?  Ha!

After the new year, I spent a little time searching and came up short.  And then during my week of ridiculous spending, the shoes I wanted were presented in front of me.

Enter Charles David Luna wedges (purchased from Endless.com):

Lunar gold strappy wedges

Here are two ways to wear wedges (sorry for the rushed blurry post-work pics…eek):

Skirt, cami, and knit wrap cardi

Skinny jeans, cami, military jacket

And because I think every girl should be well prepared for the warmer months that will soon arrive, I’d like to give YOU a pair of these wedges.

Wedges for you!

I will do my best to give the exact same pair in your size, but if they are unavailable, I will find a lovely substitute.  OR, I am also happy to buy a wedge that is more *you*.
