Tashkent for Cheyenne

Whoo boy. I'm on a total accessories kick this week. I think it's because finals are getting me down, and shoes and bags just make me happy. You know what I mean? Of course, I'd be happier if I could actually buy most of the things I post about, but that's a whole other story.

Anyhoo, shopbop just added tons of new stuff to their site, including a brand new (to me, at least) line of shoes called Tashkent by Cheyenne. They have an appealing air of ease and elegance about them that I just love. Plus, they look comfortable, which is super-important, because I'm one of those silly girls who can't walk in heels more than 2 inches high for 10 minutes without getting either ten blisters on each foot or a bump on my head.






Get yours here.

Camper

I love Camper. They're such an endearingly quirky, original brand. And their products are beautifully made - I spent 2 months in Europe this summer and bought some funky black mary jane-style ballet flats right before I left in preparation from City Soles here in Chicago. They felt both chic and comfortable on Parisian cobblestones.

Their "twins" series is so great. They're pairs of shoes that go together, without matching. See:

What a great way to step into spring.


Love the unexpected print on these otherwise traditional equestrian-style boots. They're tiny, colorful donkeys, if you can't tell.



Make like Louis XIV in these comfy-looking, retro red-heeled shoes.

These Boots are Made for Walking, Yadda Yadda

Sorry about the lame title. I couldn't help myself!

School's pretty hectic right now, as midterms are starting up next week, so I'm not sure how my posting schedule is going to be until the weekend. I'm going to make it my goal to post at least once every night, so we'll see how that goes.

This is going to be short, but sweet. I just wanted to share my love for these absolutely fabulous Bandi boots from Chie Mihara.



I saw them at Bloomies (on Michigan Ave.) a few weeks ago and I just about died. They look like they're tailor made for me! They come in black (but also a fun teal color which seems to be cropping up a lot in my wardrobe lately), the heel isn't prohibitively high, and the design is this absolutely fabulous tongue-in-cheek vintage style, which references those boots so popular around the turn of the century whose buttons needed to be done up with a special hook.



Just like my Samantha doll wore, but a bit hipper and more grown-up. Not to mention user-friendly.

Of course, I very sadly set them back down again when I saw the price on the sole...they were over $400. But as my mom wisely said, "Just wait and they'll go on sale eventually." Well, a girl can hope, right? In fact they're on sale at the Chie Mihara online store, but the price is not much better at 287 euros.
So, all I can do is wait...and hope.
