Fabulous Fuss

Tuesday, August 28, 2012


Despite my weekly homage to fabulous heels, I'm almost always wearing flats. In fact, I've been wearing the same pair of J.Crew ballet flats for years, but when I went birthday shopping last weekend, I discovered the shoe departments of some excellent department stores–Neiman Marcus, Saks, Barneys, I'm looking at you. The nubuck loafers I ultimately brought home aren't exactly out of the box thinking, but I felt I'd undergone a transformation–I understand now precisely what all the fabulous fuss is about! 


Have you recently discovered a new passion–for fashion, art, volunteering, cocktails?

  2. I hear you...I am a create of habit...but sometimes I get out of my box and kind frankly, it's refreshing! :)

  3. I'm a flats girl myself, mostly because I lack any sort of grace & end up on the sidewalk if I wear heels :-) But these are just oh so pretty!

  4. Flats are my go-to shoes as well, but that doesn't stop me from admiring sky high heels :-)

  6. I'm a flats girl myself. And usually just dream of wearing shoes with a heel (I can't walk in them for more than an hour, it seems). But flats can be just as fabulous!

  9. Neiman Marcus always has the best stuff. Too bad all of it is usually way out of my price range.

  10. I love me some nice flats- I walk so much! I love my sperry boat shoes. So comfy.

    But nothing makes me feel sexier than a new pair of heels. Love those!

  11. I live in my flats -- and my sandals in the summer. But I do love to wear heels. :)

  12. Within the last year I have re-discovered my passion for the classic cocktail, all thanks to you my friend! (Not sure if admitting that booze is a passion for me is a good thing-LOL!)
    I have restocked our bar cart with delicious liqueurs, gorgeous glassware and all the bells and whistles I come across. My friends say they love to come over not only for the delicious libations I have been serving them lately but to see what I have added to my bar cart since their last visit!

  13. I am always wearing flats too after messing up my knees with years of running. I did get crazy with some patent leather orange kitten heels last year and I adore them! Make me feel so fancy with skinny jeans and a black tee
