shoe sale

every year, my mother and i make the trek out to beverly hills to check out the shoe sale at barneys new york, saks fifth avenue, and neiman marcus.  it's become such a tradition that she'll usually remind me weeks before we go, and we usually head out after the sales have gone on for awhile in order to take advantage of additional markdowns. 

while the selection was highly picked over, i still managed to come home with this gorgeous pair of gucci strappy sandals

i am a sucker for anything strappy and caged, and these shoes are it.  tobacco replaces black as my staple for summer, and i was so happy to find that these shoes go perfectly with my chloe paddington bag circa 2005.  i think it is time to give that bag some love! plus, the ever so chunkier of heels makes this shoe as well-suited for day as it is for night.

love!
