The ¨Ups¨and Downs of Spring

Posted on April 22, 2013 | 1 Comment

So here I am, Friday afternoon, walking out the door to teach my last two private English classes off the day when I recieve the dreaded message every English teacher grows to hate: ¨sorry we are cancelling today¨. The 24 hour rule does not apply in this country. So, I walked back upstairs and begrudgingly began doing laundry, thinking about how the 46 euros I had just lost out on was a pair of new wedge shoes.

This, certainly a ´down´, would now affect one of my favorite spring ´ups´-shoe shopping! So, in a tribute to being up high and on top this spring, here are some fabulous wedges I love. Unfortunately, thanks to my cancellation, none will be seen on my feet…atleast not this weekend!

Enjoy…and for those of you who have an extra couple of euros in their pocket…go out and buy some wedges for spring!

Beach Fashion: Wedges

Posted on May 9, 2012 | 1 Comment

This particular installment in my ´Beach Fashion´series was posted to honor a special pair of shoes that have been with me for a very long time. I think wedges are the mother of all shoes, they never truly fail you. Always comfortable but still helping you stand tall and sassy…!!!

This beach trip, I arrived home after a late night of partying to find that my favorite straw wedge shoes had finally died, the straw roping had finally fallen off one of the heels (and yes…I had actually super glued parts back on in the past!)

The least I could do was give them a proper burial in the sand…see photo below. (Condolence comments only please, no comments about polluting the environment will be approved)

Now the big question…replacement???? Where to even start? Well first I had to decide: woven, wood, or cork? Personally I like the look of woven the best, and I already owned a wood pair…so woven it was. I found a few pics I liked online…and then off to Mary Paz and Zara to see what they had in my budget!

Jean Michael Cazabat wedges are super cute and they look pretty comfortable

I loved these gold Jimmy Choe Wedges

C Loubs can do more than just red soles, judging by these cool woven wedges below!

My MaryPaz purchase…I prefer beige as they slim the legs…not bad at 27 euros!

Some other wedge inspirations if you decide to go wood

These are SASSY by Jeffery Campbell

My friend Desi´s gorgeous wood wedges, complete with green nails and bright orange-red ring

If you decide to go the cork route, take this as inspiration:

Chloe Cork Wedges

Or just as bossy but more affordable Jessica Simpson cork wedges on Elise

I bought these wedges at MaryPaz the other day and I am obsessed. I ran around Alicante all night with them, no blisters, no pain, nada. Magical!!! They also come with the straps in several colors, black, orange, navy, brown, gold, red, white, etc!
