So I've decided that since I'm on Austerity August I shall tempt you all with great stuff to buy instead. *cue super-villain cackle*

Today, shoes from Nordstrom. First off, the Sole Society Olyvia, Okala clone, now in a gorgeous black and white tattersall.

Then these super-cool Tsubo colorblock sandals, which could work for lots of us through early fall.

Then some retro action: Bass two-tone saddle shoes.

And Tevas are back in style, right? Why not go right for the original vibe, in colorblock - thong version or not.

Or some Birkenstocks, either in a copper metallic, or as the most seasonally confused sandals I've ever seen, with shearling.

Finally, all the Converse/Missoni collection are fun, and quite reasonably priced considering (anybody remember the madness and ebay reselling that happened when Target had a Missoni collaboration?) http://shop.nordstrom.com/sr?o.....se+missoni shows all of them, I think.
