The results of yesterday’s trip to the Westfield Mall (god, I love that mall; I had forgotten): something we really needed, because toddler’s feet grow so fast you can practically see them expanding (how cute are those?!), and something we really didn’t.
But it happened anyway. Because remember yesterday, when I was talking about how I’ve been obsessing over those Stuart Weitzman heels and those Alexander Wang heels? Well, I’m not really a labels person – it’s fun to have something fancy, obviously, but if I can find a reasonable facsimile for less I am much, much happier (especially when it comes to shoes, which I am virtually guaranteed to destroy) – and:
FOUND ‘EM. At Steve Madden. For about 1/5 of the price of the pairs I’d been lusting over.
The best thing about these: unlike most heels, which look best when they’re right out of the box, I feel like a great pair of simple black heels, like a great pair of boots, can take a little wear and keep on looking great. The worst thing about them: I’m not sure they’re the most practical things in the world to have purchased at this particular juncture in my life. But ah well.
