Shoe Dilemma

Hello everyone!
Today...I want your advice.
But first let me give you the whole story so you understand...

I have been in LOVE with these shoes from Payless. I first tried them on a few weeks ago but their $30 price tag (which I think is kind of steep of Payless) drove me away.
With things I REALLY like..I usually stalk them like crazy until they go on sale.
Eventually these shoes did. They got marked down to $22.99 and there was also a 20% off coupon floating around which I used. That meant my shoes were now around $18-$19! So you can imagine how excited I was!
So I bought the shoes online in 2 colors: Black &Beige
Then I realized I had a $3 off coupon in my wallet! Oh no! So I went to an actual store found the shoes (which they only had in black) and bought them using BOTH coupons!
Joy! Now I'm trying to decide if I really need BOTH colors....
What do you guys think? Both colors? Or no..?

Here are the shoes in black ;)

And here they are in the beige.
I think having the EXACT same shoe in 2 colors is kind of too much..but I really can't decide!
These shoes are REALLY comfy. They are like Naturalizers/Aerosoles in that the insoles are specifically designed to be comfortable.
The heel height is also low...about 1inch? I highly recommend these shoes (click here to buy)
Payless has this great shipping option where they will ship to your local Payless shoe store for FREE! No shipping fees! Here is a link to the 20% off coupon I used.

So? What should I do? Keep both shoes? Keep the beige? Keep the black?
Ahh!!

Cheers!

Destiny & Miu Miu

First of all...my FIRST GIVEAWAY is still going on so PLEASE CLICK HERE to enter!
All you have to do is comment with your info & follow my blog. How easy is that?

Moving on...do you guys believe in destiny? It is a tricky subject I agree...but somehow events occur that make me believe things were just..meant to be.
For a long time now...I have been contemplating stepping into the designer shoe world (I blame Tiffany from I am Style-ish and her GORGEOUS shoe collection!). However the price tag has always been the main drawback.

So today I was sitting in my room and I was debating whether or not to go shopping.
I usually don't go shopping because 1) I don't want to spend money..and going to the mall will only make me want to buy things and 2) I was a little lazy.
But I decided to go out anyway cause I had to go to the bank.
Anyway...I won't drag this little story further but I went to Nordstrom Rack and instantly was hit with IMMENSE luck as I saw these shoes...

That's right. Miu Mius at Nordstrom Rack! Even before I wanted to see they were my size or not..I checked out the price first: $79.90!!!!!

That's an AMAZING deal because Miu Miu shoes typically run over $300. These I think were $495 retail.
WOW.
Best part? They were my size. Well...not really they were a .5 too small but because these are sandals I can get away with the fact that they are a little too small.
I tried them on and then RAN to the cashier. I kind of felt like Charlie with a golden ticket.

 

So for $80 are these shoes worth it? Heck yes! And I'm not just talking because they are designer.

I love the polka dot pattern. Miu Miu shoes in general are not tame or cookie cutter. I like how unique and bold Miu Miu shoes are.

The only minus I can think of is the height. These shoes are 5.5 inches tall. There is a platform in the front of the shoe to balance out the heel..but I'm 5'7" so that means another 5" puts me at 6' when wearing these heels! Wowza!
Running in these heels will be pretty much impossible. Thank goodness I live in LA where I don't walk everywhere.

The shopping gods definitely smiled on me today.....

Cheers!

If you follow me on twitter you will already know two things:
1) I'm back from my mini vacation from Korea
2) I'm veryyy sick right now :(

I have literally been lying in bed allll day and I haven't eaten normal food in almost 3 days.

Anyway, while I was in Korea I did get to do a little bit of shopping.
There was one thing in particular I did want to buy: a certain pair of shoes.

I had first heard/seen them on youtube guru Michelle Phan.
They were basically sneakers but with wedges.
They are basically knockoffs of these Ash sneaker wedges:

Ash Twist Shoe from Karmaloop

They are prices at $130 which is kinda pricey. Michelle Phan said she bought them off of eBay.

spotted on eBay

They have a bunch of different styles, colors, and wedge height.
The shipping price (most of them at $15 and above) was too much for me though. So instead..I noticed that most of these shoes were shipping from Korea so I decided to buy a pair while I was there.

 

I bought mine for roughly $20 from a shoe vendor off the street.

My shoes are slightly different in that they are not as tall. I'm 5'7" already..and I didn't want to be crazy tall in like 4" sneakers...so I opted for the shorter version.

I like how the sneaker has velcro straps making it easy to put on.

Although these sneakers are slightly "fob" style...I still like them a lot.
I hardly ever wear sneakers (I also never really wear just t-shirt&jeans) but for these I make an exception :)

Cheers!

From the Shoe Vault

Just thought I'd do a quick small post for the weekend :)

I wanted to show you lovely readers some of the shoes in my collection that I absolutely love and adore.

First up...because I feel like its summer already here in Los Angeles is my highly coveted, highly sought after Cynthia Vincent wedges from Target.

These babies took forever for me to track down. They first sold out online before the shoes even hit the stores and then it was sheer chaos after that.

I literally called/visited 5 Targets a day trying to track down these shoes.

Fortunately, my good friend's cousin had an extra pair in my size and I quickly made an offer.

Best decision of my life ladies.

Not only are these wedges made amazingly well and are super comfy despite looking like they wouldn't....they were cheap. Only $35.

No wonder they went fast!

Had I found them in stores I would have bought a pair in each color...but sadly I could not.
It is true about what they say about the ankle strap though. It is not adjustable so if you have normal/skinny ankles it will hang off a bit.

Since these wedges were so darn difficult to find and I know I will never get another pair again...I wear them sooooo rarely. I think so far I've only worn them twice.
They are like unicorns to me.


I hope this post was semi-fun and I'll try to do more like these soon :)

Cheers!
