Lovin' the sandals and all the pointy-toed flats. What color are the patent pumps? They are the only ones standing out as potential returns. It would depend on how much you have to wear with them.</p> <p>Momo, that Circus Hayden is one cool shoe. Love the details on the Cardonna, and I just did a search and see that they come in red. I might have to think about those.</p> <p>Laura, here is a link to the gladiator sandal that's been on my wish list for months. I want the gold, but it's available in Cognac. I first saw them on Zappos and later on Amazon, so it's worth comparing prices if you like them.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/steve-madden-plato-sandal/3625329?amp;country=US&amp;currency=USD&amp;cm_cat=datafeed&amp;cm_ite=steve_madden_%27plato%27_sandal:968145&amp;cm_pla=shoes:women:sandals/slides&amp;cm_ven=Google_Product_Ads&amp;mr:referralID=afa79077-c0dc-11e3-bca4-001b2166c62d&amp;origin=pla">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/st.....038;cm_cat</a></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pls-share-your-spring-shoe-purchases/page/3#post-1219684 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 17:45:55 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1219684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Joy, you've done well! I like all of your choices. I too wonder about heat and the d'orsay style - there are times in our not really that hot summer that I still can't stand wearing ballet flats and its sandals or nothing. I like the patent grey too but you might want to think about what outfits you can wear it with and whether it makes sense with your wardrobe. Based n what I've seen of your pics I'd think it'd fit right in.</p> <p>While we're all talking about shoes, has anyone seen the following: a flat or nearly flat gladiator sandal in nude or a light neutral that's not gold that doesn't have a lot of metal or bling on it? All I really want is a light colored version of the black Borns I bought at Nordstrom last summer but I've been looking ever since the weather turned and nothing's been quite right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pls-share-your-spring-shoe-purchases/page/3#post-1219683 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 17:45:11 +0000 Momo 1219683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sam Edelman Circus Hayden</p> <p>Fly London Yaff </p> <p>Earthies Cardonna </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pls-share-your-spring-shoe-purchases/page/3#post-1219593 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 16:16:24 +0000 Anonymous 1219593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm finally feeling well enough to get together and photograph recent purchases. I really needed to do this to try to evaluate where I am, so thank you for this thread. This spring I am trying for sandal alternatives, although I plan to wear the ones I have. In reality, it may just be too hot not to wear sandals. I hope that cut outs and d'Orsey style may still be cool enough.<br /> My other goal is to start replacing small kitten heel pumps because old ones, all bought about the same time several years ago, have become uncomfortable.<br /> None of the pairs pictured has been worn out yet...too cold. The light grey patent pumps may be going back. Your thoughts on K/R on any of these are welcomed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pls-share-your-spring-shoe-purchases/page/3#post-1219180 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 02:41:42 +0000 Jewell 1219180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Susie, I realllly like that caged sandal! Too bad I can't do that high of a heel. And the Bass loafer is on sale in my size- the temptation! Awesome bronze mules and LOL @ Hubby's dominatrix comment. </p> <p>Denise, I saw your thread shortly after starting this one. I laughed at how kitty helped you choose a pair of booties. I envy your luck in finding not one but three pairs that look good on you. Shopping for boots/booties usually depresses me because they never fit right.</p> <p>Thumbs up to the silver Birks, Alicat!</p> <p>Great color choice, Lisa! I imagine you'll get lots of wear out of that wedge pump.</p> <p>Gosh, I love both of those sandals, Janet! I'm crazy for shoes with ankle straps right now. That rose gold sandal is a stunner.</p> <p>Great picks, April- three pairs of really cool shoes! I just added the Ollie to my Amazon wish list ;-)</p> <p>ATLynn, I see we have similar tastes. Two of your purchases are on my wish list. I have the Steven Elina in white multi open in my browser right now. I've been mulling it over all day.</p> <p>pil, those lilac loafers are all kinds of gorgeous! I'm glad you posted your studded flat. I missed out on a studded ballet flat last year and this is an upscaled version of the one I wanted.</p> <p>Gigi, I want to reach through the screen and touch that shoe. I love the pattern (sugar eye for leopard print) and the texture.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pls-share-your-spring-shoe-purchases/page/3#post-1219128 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 02:05:55 +0000 Gigi 1219128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So far, I've purchased only these:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vince-camuto-vive-bootie-nordstrom-exclusive/3530135">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vi.....ve/3530135</a></p> <p>I want a pair of metallic silver shoes, but I'm not sure what type of style yet.

The colour does not seem to be online anymore. I could not resist cheap (30% site sale!) oxfords available in Canada, we've discussed the national oxford shortage before I might replace the same-colour lace with citron though. Or lavender/blush? Hmmmmm. Laces are such a simple fun update.&nbsp;</p> <p>Ummlila! Where did you get your totally fab,&nbsp;#2 pointy-toe wedge ankle-strap shoes? Those are my HEWI right now. Jewell, I might even start a separate thread looking for those... I have a rare opportunity to order from USA sites since I am going for a trip in 2 weeks.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pls-share-your-spring-shoe-purchases/page/2#post-1217961 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 02:21:44 +0000 Jewell 1217961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, you added the other link! Thanks, Laura. I agree the luggage tan would be super versatile. I'm drawn to the silver metallic as well. I've added them to my favorites.</p> <p>deb, I love the polished pointy-toe shoe on the end! The print on that fourth shoe is very pretty. Glad you found a summer house shoe :-)</p> <p>dustt, I am a sucker for a shiny red shoe! That first flat comes in some nice color choices. I would have a hard time choosing.</p> <p>Great pics, neonginger! That Ollie is a stunning pump. I hope the riding boats grow more comfy with wear because I imagine they'd look great with BF jeans.</p> <p>Jjsloane, these heel heights are more in line with what I need. I can see why you couldn't resist the black patent oxfords- gorgeous!&nbsp;LOVE the metallic pumps! Booh- my size is sold out! That is a really cool silver slip on. Can you tell that I, too, am obsessed with metallics this year? And I'm right there with ya on the Boden booties Angie posted. I haven't even closed the tab in my browser yet. I've bookmarked the page. Let the stalking commence!</p> <p>These are great, rabbit! I'm all about the shine in #s 1 and 4, and I love the color splash in #2. I like the stud details on the sneakers, too. </p>
