I never had strong feelings… for a pair of shoes… until I met these beauties:

from J.Crew

This pretty pair has everything that ever catches my eye in a dressy shoe: Suede (perfect for fall—even though this is a “summer” shoe), substantial heel (as in not a skinny stiletto) in a reasonable height (3 inches or less), peep toe, soft girly detail. And the icing on the cake is a touch of braided raffia to add a little bit of modern rustic flavor playing right into current wedding trends.

No, I lie.

The icing on the cake is COMFORT. Yes, I’m girly. Who am I kidding, I LOVE shoes. My problem is that most heels send my feet into excruciating pain frenzies, so I never buy them. They break my heart. If I go out in heels, I’m running around the streets of New York barefoot or riding piggy-back on the chivalrous Mr. Thimble by the end of the night… or… and hour into the night.

Fortunately, Italian suede + 3-inch cone heel yields comfort. So far. For the half hour I ran around my parents’ house with them on my feet. And look at them!

Happy feet:

I think I’m in love.

Did you know it when you met The One? Or was it a long and tedious dating process full of heartbreak and rebounds? You know, the one… pair. Of shoes.
