I just received the Bass Ely-3 in gold and can vouch for their comfort and they are shiny. I originally ordered silver when they were on sale, but they were cancelled, so when the gold hit $50 on Amazon I bought. I've also had those Lucky ones in my cart. If you're willing to invest I'd probably go for the Cole Haans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylfers---will-you-help-me-find-my-perfect-shoes#post-837043 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 12:20:35 +0000 Inge 837043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Exciting! I have to run, but will try to add a few more options later:-)<br /> Also: I love those Cole Haans in the light grey for you, Shannon, but the sci-fi silver would be fantastic too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylfers---will-you-help-me-find-my-perfect-shoes#post-836957 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 06:05:27 +0000 Susie 836957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deb, that blue is beautiful but the rose gold should work with a lot of colors. Good choice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylfers---will-you-help-me-find-my-perfect-shoes#post-836939 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 05:23:59 +0000 deb 836939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just ordered the Ivankas. I had a hard time deciding because the US site has a metalic blue also but I ended up ordering the rose gold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylfers---will-you-help-me-find-my-perfect-shoes#post-836928 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 05:04:43 +0000 Susie 836928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yikes! I just ordered the shiny silver Cole Haan's! Ive been thinking of them for a few weeks and then Angie's post reminded me again. This post just tempted me more, though I like the Bass pair too. But the Skylar was the last pair in my size on Amazon and the price was right! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylfers---will-you-help-me-find-my-perfect-shoes#post-836896 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 04:22:13 +0000 velvetychocolate 836896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Shannon :)</p> <p>More enabling: can you imagine these grey Skylars with white or faded jeans? Just fab! </p> <p>I'd better stop, or I'll order these in the grey size 8 myself ...and it's still ridiculously cold and blustery where I am (think serious, ugly-looking snow boots). </p> <p>I just had a thought - will you be able to wear something like these for work? I can see them with lighter-coloured slouchy-ish dress pants, and maybe some lighter coloured skirts...but I think it's important to think about how something like these would "integrate" into your dominant wardrobe. It's been so long since spring and summer, that I can't really remember the kinds of things you like to wear in spring and summer. Just saying you might want to think carefully about these, and be sure that something like this will "work" for you spring/ early summer and possibly early fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylfers---will-you-help-me-find-my-perfect-shoes#post-836877 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 04:02:50 +0000 Transcona Shannon 836877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>VC - you are excused! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylfers---will-you-help-me-find-my-perfect-shoes#post-836873 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 03:59:45 +0000 velvetychocolate 836873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was a good experience to go looking for something you might like (so glad you asked), because I now have those Cole Haan Skylar oxfords on my wish list - yes, they're a teensy bit pricier, but like I said ...I've tried on a few pairs of Cole Haan shoes in-store and felt they were very nice shoes - supremely comfortable and well made. Personally, I think they might be worth the splurge. ('scuse my enabling!)</p> <p>Good luck with the spring shoe search </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylfers---will-you-help-me-find-my-perfect-shoes#post-836870 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 03:51:29 +0000 Transcona Shannon 836870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>VC - I've ordered a few pair of shoes now from Amazon and have been very impressed and the shipping is much cheaper than through a shipping company like Fifty One - plus faster and more reliable IMO.</p> <p>Thank you for all your work and the links - I must say I'm completely smitten with the Cole Haan pair in that lovely light grey colour. Angie just go the Cole Haan in the metallic mirror shade and loves them, so that definitely counts for something. Will definitely be giving those some serious thought. Thanks again!</p> <p>Tina - those rose gold oxfords are fabulous and would love to hear your review once you get yours. I also really like the purple splattered ones - very unique. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylfers---will-you-help-me-find-my-perfect-shoes#post-836864 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 03:46:11 +0000 Tina.b 836864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When Rae was on the hunt for her glass slippers I took a peek at the Miista site. I found these rose gold oxfords (and also saw them on Shopbop around the same time). I fell in love with them and ordered a pair, hopefully they will arrive this week. I can review them for you then, seeing as you are loving the metallics.</p> <p> I also like the iridescent silver and purple printed ones. I will attempt to add some links below.

They'd be lovely for fall though, wouldn't they?</p> <p>Rae - the white perforated are nice but I'm leery about the elasticized heel - I don't always find those comfortable. But the silver Bass pair and the gold Lucky pair are fab - definite contenders - thank you!</p> <p>Zap - good grief, so cool! The one comment says "great for a long, narrow foot" - hmmm....I don't have either long nor narrow...</p> <p>Joy - love those but the flats I've chosen are animal print with orange trim so am looking for more of a solid - I do love the coloured heel with the print though, don't you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylfers---will-you-help-me-find-my-perfect-shoes#post-836822 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 02:59:31 +0000 Anonymous 836822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about these?<br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/dv-by-dolce-vita-mini-cheetah#prdInfo" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/dv-by-do.....ah#prdInfo</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylfers---will-you-help-me-find-my-perfect-shoes#post-836820 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 02:51:06 +0000 Anonymous 836820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just literally happened to click on a email from Fluevog and voila, I saw these guys and logged back to post:<br /> <a href="http://www.fluevog.com/code/?w=sale&#038;pp=2&#038;view=detail&#038;p=20&#038;colourID=3560" rel="nofollow">http://www.fluevog.com/code/?w.....ourID=3560</a> </p>
