Wish list: Shoe love

Oh goodness! If my money tree was growing abundantly this summer, I'd indulge in these lovelies for the fall. Discovered over at Cup of Jo.

An ideal wardrobe: Shoes

I guess I didn't get the memo that swim wear no longer seems to be stocked in-store and that stores like J.Crew and Anthropologie drive you to their websites to buy suits online. Unfortunately for a pear-bodied lady like myself, that is too much of a hassle - I can only imagine how many returns I would have to go through before finding the right suit.

So instead of bathing suits, I indulged in 'ideal' footwear: a pair of casual sneaks, dressed up thongs, and everyday kitten heel pumps. What a women 'needs.'

An ideal wardrobe: Ballet flats

LOVE my new ballet flats. Bought in Waterloo last weekend at Heel Boy, the pearlized candy apple red leather caught my eye. These dainty flats are called 'city roll ups' - you can scrunch them up in your hand. It wasn't a surprise to learn that the Australian designer Bloch is one of the world's premiere ballet shoe companies.

Can't wait to walk across the cobblestone streets of Quebec City on Easter weekend.
