I am one of those people who likes to wear things that don’t make sense for the season, like open-toed boots, sandals with tights and short-sleeved sweaters in the winter, and closed-toe boots and long-sleeved shirts with the arms rolled up, in the summer. So the concept of leather shorts is right up my alley. Shorts in the winter don’t make much sense but leather does, so for me it’s the perfect practical, fashionable marriage! While home for Thanksgiving, my brother and sister laughed at me when I announced I was going to rock my new leather shorts – they pictured all...  Read More..

We recently scored a pair of these ultra-chic, ultra-comfy cork sandals by MRKT. The MRKT Holly Sandals feature beige suede straps, with a buckled ankle strap and a 1″ cork platform and 4″ heel.

They retail for $225. Despite the minor differences, the shoes are pretty similar...  Read More..

A trip to DSW always equals serious shoe cravings. The trouble is everything’s already been well picked over. But thank goodness there’s online shopping! What we’re coveting right now is the Nine West Elkie – a seriously sharp and sexy platform sandal. We first spied it at DSW but the range of sizes was pretty sad. Thankfully, Zappos.com has a bunch of them, in just about every color combo! We’ve always loved Nine West’s ability to pair sleek design with comfort and the Elkie is the epitome of both. This leather sandal features crisscrossed straps with piping detail,...  Read More..
