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!"

Pelle Moda Aqua Flirty Snakeskin Sandals - Neiman Marcus

Even though my wide feet give me the worst luck when it comes to finding shoes that fit, some sandals are just too cute and too good of a deal to pass up. These Pelle Moda strappy sandals in aqua snakeskin were exactly that...especially because they seemed to be very close to Tiffany blue, one of my favorite colors! I saw them first on the Neiman Marcus website, then found them cheaper on Neiman Marcus Last Call. ;)

Chanel Orange Patent Leather Mini vs. CWC (Clutch with Chain) - Neiman Marcus

I visited my nearest Neiman Marcus today to look at a couple of Chanel bags that my SA held for me, an orange patent leather mini and a fuchsia patent leather WOC (wallet on chain). I brought along my orange Valentino rockstuds since I was looking for a matching bag (if you didn't know this already, I am matchy-matchy!)

When I arrived, I also saw an orange patent CWC (clutch with chain) that interested me and I decided to try it on and compare it to the orange patent mini. I ended up really liking both bags, but of course I had to choose only one. Which one do you prefer on me?

While I was in Neiman Marcus, the shoe department called my name...so I respectfully showed up and I tried on YSL Tribute sandals for the first time. Very comfy heels! I tried on the high heel and the mid heel and honestly, I could not really distinguish the comfort level between the two. They both felt very comfortable, stable and easy to walk around in. Even though I found the orange Tributes to be a perfect match with the orange Chanel, I decided not to get them because they didn't look as nice as the Valentino rockstuds did against my skin tone.

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.
