Things I Love Today: Bow Shoes

I’m supposed to be on the hunt for a sensible pair of brown, flat boots. The exactly right boots that are currently being worn to work by every stylish lady in the city…but are impossible to find in stores.

Instead, I’m drooling over these completely impractical gray suede and yellow satin pumps from J.Crew on sale.

I have a pair of Sudini brown flat boots that I got at Nordstrom a couple of years ago (http://bit.ly/3aN6ra). The price was reasonable and they have held up beautifully! I love wearing them.

Love the Paige boots by Frye – I have the basic model in black and I adore them.

Love those. I have a pair of grey round toe suede pumps with a stacked heel that I got on sale a few years ago and I swear they are the best shoes I own. So comfy and they go with everything.

I have a great pair of brown boots from LL Bean that I love and that have held up really well over the past year. THey'll be a staple for a long time, and I'm contemplating the black pair as well. I've heard great things about the Born boots that LL Bean has as well!! GL on the hunt!

I just got these for $99: http://tinyurl.com/yerbtke. Love 'em! They're kinda distressed looking but still good with dressy work stuff.

I searched for years for these boots and they are my secret weapon but I love your blog so much I feel that I should share them with you. Here is the link: http://www.daniblack.com/index.cfm/a/catalog.prodShow/vid/11461/catid/62
I wear them every day to work in Manhattan. I've had my brown pair for a year and I continue to get compliments all the time. They recently went on sale (40% off!) so now I own them in black as well… They're so fabulous I am tempted to stockpile them!

Look at Garnet Hill for boots. They have some pretty sassy ones. I just bought a heeled pair of tall boots from them online last night. Good Luck.
