Black Friday

First of all: what are you doing reading this?  You should be out buying new shoes!!  It’s BLACK FRIDAY!!

I mean, hello.  Nice to see you.  I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving.  And so forth.

But Black Friday!  The day when the world is on sale.  You can buy any shoes you’d like, but for today, I give you shoes in honor of the name: black.  (And PS, the prices today are probably all lower than I have them here.  Hooray!)

I think the word for the Arabella by Christian Siriano is slinky.  I wouldn’t give that adjective to most wedges, but I think it definitely applies here.  The sleek pebble-print fabric; the gold lace-holders, the four-inch wedge... and the cut of the top is very interesting, the way it rises up especially high.  Also available in a smooth brown, but I don’t believe that one qualifies as slinky.  Regardless, they’re each $33 at Payless.

Why did nobody tell me Sam & Libby is making shoes for Target now?  How long has this been going on?!  Their Dahlia Spiked Heel is only one of the designers’ options available, but I love this one—from far away it looks like just another work shoe, but up close it’s all snake and spikes!  Badass.  Also available with pewter snake at the toe rather than black; your choice for $32 at Target.

Ooh, I am really digging the Thirst.  Mostly, I love the touches of gold—the little bit around the toe; the riveted plate around the ankle.  Even the zipper is gold!  Smart move.  And that dangly bit of fringe makes it a little fun, and not only sophisticated.  Find them at Bakers for $100.

How pretty is the My Fair Lacy by Mixx?  It’s got lace.  It’s got a pointed toe.  It’s got menswear-inspired detailing on the faux leather.  And they’d go with just about everything.  Love, love, love!  Yours for $35 at ModCloth.

Okay enough from me.  Go!  Shoo!  Come back with something pretty!

Sales this weekend:

Sorry ladies; the Shoe Fairy is away this week.  (We’ve discussed this.  I’m making pies and watching the dog show.)  But you don’t need me—everything’s on sale!
