BLACK SOCK REVIVAL/prada black snakeskin bow platform sandals

I borrowed these little footies for my recent trip to Portland.  They seemed like a good idea to wear with my sneakers to prevent blisters, but they didn't work out as well as I thought they would.  They would actually slip off my foot within a few steps...something about the sneaker/footie combination  just didn't work.

I decided to try them out in another way before giving up on footies forever.  This time with the thought of the Prada S/S 2009 runway show in mind.  Remember that show?  The models wore little footies with their sandals and it looked divine.  I actually have a pair of those runway sandals and I had been meaning to try the footie + sandal combo for a while now.  

 The result?  I love it!  It gives my sandals a completely different look.  Now I just wonder if these footies can breathe new life into some of my other sandals.  Stay tuned...

NIGHT STALKERS/chloe sevigny for opening ceremony pearl heels

In the midst of shopping for fall shoes, I happened to stumble upon these beauties.  I was quick to transact (always a good sign) and once they arrived, I realized just how gorgeous these shoes truly are.  Sure, I should be thinking of boots and closed-toe heels, but I couldn't resist.  I mean, I am not opposed to the idea of wearing an open-toed shoe with tights...I know that some people believe this to be a major fashion no-no, but I have to say that I strongly disagree.  Sandals can surely see the light of day and still be fabulous during the cooler months with the addition of a short sock or a textured tight.

These shoes will definitely be escorting me into cooler months ahead.
