ON MY RADAR: BLACK MULES

Ever since seeing this image on Meredith's blog, I can't seem to get it out of my mind. Specifically, the girl in the pink jacket and her black mules. Oh em gee I love them. And after spending the better half of my afternoon pouring over the web to find them, I realized I knew exactly which designer was responsible. Tibi, of course. Which is rather cruel because these shoes ring in at a pretty $375, no tax or shipping included. Can Zara or Topshop please come in with a nice knockoff version under $60? That would be seriously appreciated. Because these puppies are pretty and I want to make them mine.

Have a good Monday & St. Patrick's Day!

SOLE SOCIETY SPRING

It's my goal in the next couple of weeks to do some major spring cleaning and re-assessing of my closet. I haven't started yet, but I do know that I definitely need some new heels for the spring and summer months. I've officially worn my go-to nude heeled sandal to point of no return, so it's time for an upgrade. I am loving the above options from Sole Society. The first pair look super comfortable and could definitely be work appropriate, while the second pair is a little bit more fun and for a night out. I think they both need to come home with me, y'all agree?!

OPEN TOED BOOTIES

I have been noticing that open toed booties seem to be a trend this spring, which I am personally all for. I always have a challenge figuring out what to put on my feet in March/early April. I don't want to wear heavy winter boots, but it's also not quite seasonally appropriate to bring out the sandals and summer heels. These two options are pretty much exactly alike and offer similar colors of leather. The major difference is the Target version is less than half the price of the Steve Madden bootie... and of course, not actually real leather. But for $34.99, how can you pass these up?!

Sky High, bye bye!

I'm normally a sky high kind of heel girl - 4+ inches make my legs look that much longer and skinnier, and let's be honest, who doesn't want that?! However, I've kind of been in a lower heel kick recently. Maybe it's because 4 inch heels don't always seem appropriate for my work environment, or maybe because they're just that much more comfortable to wear all day. Regardless, I'm digging these Dolce Vita sandals after seeing them on dreams + jeans, as well as these with an even lower heel from Sam Edelman. The Dolce Vita sandals are a perfect summertime shoe that can be worn with shorts for a little more relaxed, but polished look, or with a dress or skirt for the office. These J.Crew sandals were also on sale at our local J.Crew for $49.99 with an extra 30% off, and even though I have a similar pair from Franco Sarto, it still took a lot of restraint to not buy them... It's hard for me to resist a great deal!

What do you think? Are you as into the lower heel trend as I am?
