Trend Spotting: The Sneaker Wedge

I've noticed this weird thing about sneaker wedges. They're EVERYWHERE!!!!


I think they're super cute but these Isabel Marant ones down yonder are over $600 which is kind of lame if you ask me. And since you're reading, I assume you'd ask me.
I'm not one to shy away from spending some serious cash on awesome shoes but for sneakers?? Eeeeeeeeehhhh.... I dunno. Plus, I'm a little weary cause it kind of reminds me of the time I was really into buying Nike dunks. I bought some limited edition ones I found in LA and a pair in Japan that looked like they were made of unicorns. I wore them with skinny jeans and hipster scarves. That phase didn't last long.
These are different though I think. There's something chic about them. The height helps elevate them if you'll excuse the cheesy play-on words.

I'm still a little on the fence. Maybe I'll start out with an inexpensive pair to test the waters. What do you think??

The Low Down

This weird thing has happened to me. For a few months after Ben and I separated my feet were depressed. I had no interest in heels and wore converse every day. It was shocking.
Don't worry, I'm back in heels! But I also found this kind of happy medium in chunky heels and wedges. Where I used to be all about the highest heels possible, (which I still LOVE) now I'm flirting with more comfortable shoes for running around in.

I noticed that two of my stylish girlfriends had these perfect little wedge booties and I loved how they looked on them, so naturally I snatched some up for myself. They're that perfect height where you can't call them low but they're definitely not high. They're super comfortable and I can easily run around in them all day. Another thing these wedge booties are is inexpensive. On sale for $105 each, buying both pairs was cheaper than a pair of designer flats! Unfortunately they're sold out on Nordstrom.com but you may still be able to get them in stores.

I love high heeled high end designer shoes but I'm really excited to find great shoes at a great price. I'll be on the lookout for all of us! ;)

In fact, here are some affordable, comfortable looking booties I found on heels.com most with other colors available too...

Pierre Hardy Wedges

I'm more than slightly obsessed with Pierre Hardy's wedge offerings this Spring/Summer. 

 These are SO cool! I of course love the pink and orange striped ones too. So girly and flirty! They remind me of old fashion candy. Yummy!

I think a big reason that I love them so much is the extreme height on these babies. That's how you make wedges sexy...

Flowers and Bunnies and Wedges, Oh My!

You guys know I love Spring. It's so full of pretty girly things like Spring flowers and baby bunnies popping out of mommy bunnies everywhere! Lots of pink and fluff and sunshine and new life... are you sick to your stomach yet?

So it's not surprising that I put two of my favorite Spring things together- flowers and bunnies, adding my other obvious favorite... NEW SHOES!!

(MORE AFTER THE JUMP)

Yay! I got them and I love them. They're super high yet mostly comfortable. The rubber bottom and cushy insole are so great. To go with my over-priced shoes I'm wearing all Forever21. I love my Fifi Lapin sweater so I was excited to see that she did more shirts for the brand for Spring.

I'm excited for warmer weather and cute girly clothes!

I wanna be like the Hang In There kitty...

Pom Pom Wedges!

I've received a few emails asking where they could find this wedge that I have in blue... It's new @ Heels.com in red! I love mine and get compliments on them whenever I wear them. :)

Just a heads up. And when you wear yours you can say you're friends with the designer. hehe

The BIg Reveal!

Ok kiddies... here you go! Look what I found!!!

Thats right!!! After almost giving up, I found them! Can you believe it!? And for 50% off the sale price! I was hysterical at Neimans. Seriously, I think I embarrassed my friend. 


I'm a VERY happy girl!

Annoyed

You know when you kind of like something, but you don't buy it because you're like... "well- I don't LOVE it so do I really NEED it?" and then when you decide you do in fact love it, it's too late?

Well guess what- that's what just happened and I'm very annoyed with myself.

These Stella McCartney wedges, though old news, are amazing and I should have realized that I loved them much sooner. Now, it's too late. I looked all over the internet for them to no avail. Boo hoo hoo. Well, I did find them at barneys.com, but only in a size 10, as you can see.

Which, in my opinion, is worse than finding it in my size. And you know what really sucks... I totally tried them on in Hong Kong- ON SALE- and I still was unsure. When and WHY did I decide to love them? "Fate is not an eagle, it creeps like a rat." 

I will now proceed to stomp around the house pouting and lashing out at inanimate objects all day.

If you or someone you know wants to sell their 8.5 s... you know where to find me.
