new shoes, pt. eleventyfive

These are from Hoss Intropia and I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am that I finally bought them. They were on my wish list for months but due to the relatively low price, I was hesitant; I was afraid the quality might disappoint. Oh, how wrong I was! I fell in love with them the second I took them out of the box.

They're made from satin and suede, the suede being sort of ruffled over the satin, and the lining is of course made of fine leather. Thanks to the ankle strap, chunky heels and platform they're so comfortable, I can see myself walking in these for hours. I'll be in Chicago (♥) later this year and I'll definitely take these with me for sightseeing in style! I think they're feminine and romantic but not try-hard-sexy, if you know what I mean? I hope this makes sense. It's my kind of shoe, all the way! And thanks to the color scheme, they go with most of the things in my wardrobe.

The best part is that they were on sale for like, less than half what I had to pay for some other shoes I don't even like as much. Both thumbs up for cuteness & amazing quality at a great price!

Then I also bought these black velvet Michael by Michael Kors wedges. Now, I know you can get black wedge sandals on pretty much every corner but to me, the details make the shoe. These are black velvet (velvet! For summer! Love.) with patent edges and the wedge heels are super pointy:

Pretty cool in my opinion. I also  just love velvet, especially against a bit of shiny patent... I have a feeling these will stick around for fall when they will meet cute socks or possibly even opaque tights. Just a feeling.

They were on sale, too, and I have to say personally I wouldn't have paid full price for them because of the quality: it's okay in my opinion, not bad but nothing to write home about, either. Still I'm happy I got them because I have so few black heels and I can never get enough velvet to be honest.

Thank you for visiting, I promise the next post won't be about shoes. Maybe.

Say hello to my new friends

Okay so, I was away for a while and I do have reasons for this, but they're very long and very boring and very irrelevant, so I'd like to spare you the details and just move on to showing you some of the shoes I bought in the last few weeks. Okay? Okay :)

First I got these fuchsia wedges by Salvatore Ferragamo. They're part patent, part fabric and really comfy. The heel is only like, 4'' and they have a platform, so I guess these will be my go-to shoes this summer.
7-year-old tomboy Nita is rolling her eyes at "the heels are only 4'' and like, totally comfy!

Then we have something fuchsia, again... these Mary Jane pumps are from Asos. They're not very comfortable for me personally but it's okay, they were on sale and I have no intentions of actually wearing them much. I just like Mary Jane type shoes with chunky heels I guess, and the high vamp makes them unusual... I always like that in a shoe. Extra bonus: the color looks nice against my skin so I couldn't really say no to them.

The last ones are clear/transparent shoes by Love Moschino. I was going to wear them with cute socks for maximum offense among the Taste Police. Just kidding, that would be juvenile. I'll wear them with cute socks because I like it and because I prefer not to feel that clear material on my skin all day.

That's it for today, I'll be back with proper outfits and fashion related brainfarts soon. Thank you all for visiting and for not forgetting about me during my absence! :) ♥

It's really a shame the fabric of this skirt is so prone to creases (this is what it looked like before I left the house, after maybe half an hour of wearing), because I love the color and I always need more gingham in my life - I hate looking like a unironed mess though so I need to find some sort of ironing miracle potion that will keep the creases away if I want to wear this one again.

Anyway, I wore this to buy some fabric for an experiment of mine: I want to see if I can make some cute comfortable tops for myself that have a bit of a sleeve and fit ~the girls~ without drowning the rest of me in fabric. I even signed up for sewing classes, but they were cancelled at the last minute and all other courses are booked until summer... so I'll just google for a tutorial and hope for the best. If the results aren't too shameful, I'll post them here of course.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend and thank you for reading! ♥
