Summertime!!!

So Aldo America's new summer collection has some really awesome flat sandals. So awesome that Anjana, the indecisive Libran, is having a very hard time deciding which she would (hypothetically) like to buy. Like most summer sandals, these come with a rubber sole and fabric on top. In no particular order, I like:

Brisky - Priced at $50, I loooveeee the shiny applique work on top. Don't think I've ever seen such Indian looking work in a foreign shoe brand before. Have you? It makes Brisky (which also comes in brown, beige and bright blue) the perfect accompaniment to Indian and western wear!



Then there is Gutmann - While I can't say I entirely like the style or the colour of the sole (is it just me or does it have a very sadak chhap feel about it??), I louuuuvveeee the colours. The bright orange and fuchsia make for a winning combination that would look stunning with a summery white dress. With the rupee falling at its present rate, Gutmann is definitely more reasonable than Brisky at $40.



The synthetic Hardenburg has super funky jello straps in cool, fluorescent colours including green, orange and pink. What I particularly love is the colour coordinated sole. While otherwise priced at $35, Hardenburg is currently on sale at $18.74!! Friends in the US, BUY, BUY, BUY!



And finally there is Micheals - T strap sandals in light pink and black. I think the pretty flower ornament on top makes these the most VFM at $40. But then again I am a sucker for girly shoes with flowery things on top.



A little shout out to Aldo at this point - I can only hypothetically decide which to buy since Aldo US doesn't ship to India and Aldo India doesn't have online shopping at all! :( Aldo please to be rectifying?

Jimmy Choo: Thou art the Greatest

My first paean had to be to Jimmy Choo. So here's presenting Abel - classic pumps in teal blue from the Pre Fall 2012 collection, these beauts are made of elaphe snakeskin (a Jimmy Choo trademark of sorts) and come in the signature ciggy heel. A full four inches of it. Pointy at the front, they're perhaps not ideal for the big foot-ted (alas! that would include me). Abel is nonetheless, purr-fect for a formal (yet not super formal) occasion.



I might team these with this snakeskin clutch:



Or if that's getting too match much, maybe this simple black dress:




Priced at $550 only :)

My first post!! :D

I've never really understood why people blog and never ever thought I'd have one, but here I am!!

I love shoes. All kinds of them - cheap, expensive and exorbitant. Flats, heeled and the ginormous. Footpath-iya, unbranded and branded. I have what is possibly the biggest collection of unworn shoes ever and constantly bombard friends with pictures of shoes I would like to have. And over time I have found that drooling over pictures of shoes and imagining how they would look on my pretty feet gives me a kick (no pun intended) like no other. Soooo the point of this blog, for now at least, is simply to share photos of pretty shoes (in the fervent hope that some generous, rich soul somewhere will see my blog, realise how much I love shoes and buy me that long coveted pair of Jimmy Choos!)
