Shoes, Kate Lanphear style.

In case you were wondering what shoes Kate Lanphear wore the day I spotted her.

Christian Louboutin Pigalle 100 studded pumps $995 at Net-A-Porter

I almost bought these the next day at Bloomingdales, but $210...couldn't do it.

Dolce Vita "Trinity" Studded Pumps $210 at Bloomingdales

She was wearing YSL Platform Booties when Tommy of Jak & Jil spotted her.

I. die.

I touched this last night.

Couldn't justify spending the rent on boots, even if they are amazing Christian Louboutin boots on sale in my size.

Find the Forever Tina boot at Barney's reduced $789.

The Must-Throw Away Shoe

This is just me bitching but I hate...HATE...HATE the gladiator trend. Who came up with this new trend to make yourself look like you have cankles? It's the worst trend in the last ten years. They're worse than shoulder pads which look good on NO ONE. The gladiator sandal is not only unfeminine, but also a very heavy look on the foot. Depending on the thickness and placement of the straps, the effect is not always a flattering one for a woman's leg.

They come in sandals and heels, but they're all freaking terrible and deserve to go back to 2,000 years ago.

Dreaming about shoes.

I've been reading a number of fashion blogs lately, and I can't help wanting to try my hand. Of course, I am not trying to say that I'll be great, but I love fashion, and since I need to stop shopping online so much, I'm hoping this will keep me occupied. My latest obsessions have been shoes, handbags, and other accessories--mostly because they are not contingent on the size of my bum--working out got tiring, especially during finals, and I haven't been back yet.

Anyway, some things to think about:
