Chanel 14S Black on Black Boy WOC

I never did a proper reveal on my Chanel 14S Black on Black Boy WOC that I got back in May (see my post Surprise from Chanel Boutique - San Francisco, CA) so this post will serve double duty as a belated reveal plus a mod pic from its maiden voyage...a shopping trip to Costco this afternoon!

Schutz Black & Natural Athena Espadrille Wedge Sandals - Neiman Marcus

Although I wanted my first pair of espadrilles to be Valentino, I never did find anything in my size and I was open to any color I could find. Well, I did "order" a black pair of Valentino espadrille wedges in my size from Saks Fifth Avenue, but I ended up getting an email a couple of days later saying that my order could not be fulfilled. So I gave up on Valentino and found Schutz espadrille wedges on sale at Neiman Marcus Last Call...the price was so good that I ordered two pairs, one in black and one in natural. They fit true to size and they look absolutely adorable with the laces tied into a bow! I get compliments every time I wear them: "Cute shoes!"

Vince Camuto Black Paden Sandals - Rue Lala

Sometimes you just need a basic pair of black sandals that you don't need to be careful with, and these Vince Camuto Paden ones fit the bill. Coming from Rue Lala, they are comfy, durable and inexpensive...perfect for unexpected rain, dirt and cobblestone streets!

YSL Yves Saint Laurent Black Croc Tribute 105 Sandals - Farfetch

Even though I already was in love with YSL Tributes, these black croc embossed sandals completely take it to the next level...they are absolutely STUNNING!!! Now I am spoiled by them and I want all my future YSL Tributes to be croc embossed. Thank you Smets via Farfetch, for this gorgeous pair...my all-time favorite pair of black sandals!!! :)

Valentino Noir Black Rockstud Slingbacks 65 - Neiman Marcus

As I walked into Neiman Marcus, I was heading for the Chanel boutique and got sidetracked by the Valentino display in the shoe department. There it was, my UHG (Ultimate Holy Grail) of shoes...the Valentino Noir rockstud slingback pump! Completely forgetting about Chanel for the moment, I let myself loose trying on various styles of Valentino shoes...the kitten heel rockstuds, high heel rockstuds, flats, gladiator sandals and so on. The only style that my wide feet fell in love with was the kitten heel rockstud slingback pumps, so I decided to get those in black on black from the Valentino Noir collection.
