Shoe Slave: The Search For Navy

Any woman who works in an ultra-corporate environment, probably has a navy suit hanging in her closet. I have a few. The problem is this: how to find a fashionable, professional, navy shoe?

I do enjoy matching my footwear to my pantsuit for a conservative and understated look. Alternatives to the navy shoe are black, brown or ox-blood. I'm partial to the ox-blood option, which is what I currently wear. A few other footwear choices would be nice though.

I found this ridiculously gorgeous pair of Marc Jacobs at Net-A-Porter. Sadly, they are not within my budget, even on sale. But they are dreamy, aren't they?

The sequined, Jill Stuart navy shoe is also gorgeous but not really appropriate for day-wear.

So, if any of you ladies out there can find an ungranny, high-heeled, navy shoe....bring it. My search continues.

Sex And The Sappy

Went to see the Sex And The City movie last Saturday. So much fun! It was a private screening to benefit Inn From The Cold, a Calgary organization that provides housing for those in need.

It was a well organized event with breakfast goodie bags, free champagne and a raffle featuring fabulous items including these red patent Marc Jacobs shoes. I'm recently obsessed with red patent shoes, thanks to my sister Robin.

Back to the movie. I'm ashamed to admit I shed tears throughout the (very long) movie. Yes, sometimes it was the sight of equally gorgeous and unattainable fashion. Mostly, it was due to the emotional trials portrayed by the women on screen. We all agreed afterward that the women in our lives are the glue holding the pieces together.

This Just In: Marc Jacobs Ballet Flats

These shoes are the cutest. Black ballet flats with patent trim and a bow!

Yes, I do find "sensible" shoes, along with the stiletto variety I adore.
