I’ve had these images saved on my desktop for months and I don’t know why I haven’t written about them yet… DUMB. But the time has definitely come to address the latest in “More Cool Shit That I Can’t Afford” (McSTICA): Rebecca. Minkoff. Shoes.
Since they are already available online, I bet many of you are aware of the brands’ expansion, so bear with me while I subject you to old news.

Pre-Order HERE.
P.S. I think there will be more styles coming out than what you see now on the Rebecca Minkoff website, because some of the shoes I posted aren’t up yet!

Opening Ceremony Platform Pumps in Black ($480) & Lace ($575)
Prada Platform Sandal in Black & Turquoise ($795)
Miu Miu Mid-Heel Peep-Toe Pump with Jewel Heel in Black & Gray ($595)
The Miu Miu’s also come in a cotton candy pink color that I really liked the best, but I couldn’t find them online. If you poop gold bars, go to your nearest Nordstrom store for the pink; that’s where I saw them!
I really really want these. Why? Because velvet + ballet flat = awesome.
These tennies are also high up on my wish list and coincidentally very relevant to this post!
*Ironically, I have no hope of being able to afford these.
I am really digging the white + shades of purple combo on this sandal. (WOW – I can’t believe we are talking about SANDALS when I can hardly feel my thumbs as I type. Rawr.) This badass platform flirts on the border of whimsy and tacky, which is my favorite grey area. If it could talk, it would say “I don’t give a damn” and if I pooped gold bars, I’d buy this shoe right meow and wear it with socks, because I don’t give a damn either! ♥
I kinda want these. But I am having a really hard time committing to this whole combat-lace-up-bootie look. But there’s something about these that I WANT. Maybe it’s the white sole. Yo no se.
I’m like, unreasonably obsessed with the shoe/boot footwear trend, and the higher the platform, the better! But, I don’t poop gold bars (Oh really?? You don’t??? We didn’t know!), so I cannot purchase every shoot that tickles my fancy. Therefore, I need your help. Thoughts/opinions on the following are encouraged, and suggestions are welcome!
Sam Edelman via Zappos, $198.95
Sam Edelman (again!) via Nasty Gal, $185
Alexander Wang, $695 (Yes, I am seriously considering paying that much. Look at them. Look. At. Them. Loooooook aaaaaat themmmmmmm.)
Pelle Moda (Similar to the Wang’s but not quite as wonderful) via Shopbop, $190
Let’s warm things up a bit…
Opening Ceremony via Shotwell, $283 (originally $565)
Jeffrey Campbell via Solestruck, $194.95 (sold out, unfortunately)
That’s all the wishing and hoping and attempting-to-decision-making I can handle in one night. Please help.
And sweet dreams!
Is it just me, or has it gotten better over the years?? I used to write it off as cheap and trying too hard…but was it? Is it just that I only looked at BCBGeneration and never BCBGMAXAZRIA? I don’t know, but since I’m finally getting my head out of J.Crew’s ass, I am noticing brands for the first time again. Call me a “born again fan”.
These heels are fantastic and would require the pooping of a gold nugget. Totes apprope.
Herve Leger inspired, but at a fraction of the cost. Still not a fraction I can shell out!
Wear to work and pockets? Booya!
It’s like something you took from your boyfriend’s closet, which he got from his dad’s, which his dad picked up at a golf pro shop in the mid-eighties.
I’ve had my eye on this jacket since winter. Still not on sale?!?

No, this is not a post about Tiger Woods.
I was surfing the internets during a bout of insomnia last night, when I caught wind that Gap had new releases in their Design Editions shoe collection. I was (of course) drawn to the floral bow wedge, but they were sold out of my size online (of course). I was a bit discouraged, but figured I was better off without them because they are $110 and I don’t poop gold bars. Le sigh.
Well after work today, I had an hour to kill before meeting up with a couple girlfriends to buy “decorations” for a bachelorette party this weekend (8===D), so I toodled over to Gap – with low expectations, mind you. I searched the store (twice) for anything resembling the coveted shoe I saw online but came up empty-footed (Get it??? Punny!). Just as I was about to leave, a boy in a vest asked me if I needed help finding anything. Oh hell. Why not? He knew just what I was talking about and directed me to them: tucked away in their boxes, underneath a platform with a bunch of manequinns on top, with no identifying signage (Ohhhh, I get it now! Gap doesn’t want to sell their merchandise. Obviously. Geeze.). There was ONE pair left in MY SIZE, and I had a GIFT CARD. Today, kids, I felt like I pooped gold bars.
