bows

at the beginning of january, my bestie I sent me a picture of a pair of shoes she got at last cut in a most delicious burgundy suede. she directed me to get them, because she knew i'd love them and i do. we are freakishly similar and in fact, when she told me what she was wearing today, we burst out laughing because basically it is what i'm wearing today. that happens so often, and  wholly unintentionally too. that happens, though, because we share a brain.

jean reviewed these shoes here. for larger sized feet the sizing conclusion is the same. i also found these ran big. i am a US 7.5 and with european sizing, i normally take a 38. the lisane have a 90 mm heel compared to my manolo BBs at 105 mm. the BBs are all 37.5. with a lower heel in the 85-90 range, i would normally go up half a size to a 38 but the lisane are a 37.5. also, i find the BB much more comfortable than the louboutin pigalle.





outfit - shirt: j crew perfect shirt in tartan, similar here; top: j crew jewel-neck top, old, similar herehere, here; pants: ann taylor, old; shoes: lisane bow pumps, manolo blahnik, here in a shorter heel, similar here

  1. I don't normally like bows but they are so beautiful, elegant rather than girlie.
