Sam Edelman's Spiked Lorissa Shoe Will Cut You

($209, Sam Edelman, Solestruck.com)

So, Sam Edelman's stud-covered Lorissa heels are hurting me real bad... in the real-good way. The kinda bad Fiona Apple meant when she was sloshing around in that hot tub back in 1997. That's it. Sam Edelman's studded heels = the Fiona Apple of footwear.

And the close-toed Yuma? Seriously? I'm 'bout it 'bout it.



(And PS: This is totally my all-time favorite karaoke song.)

Solestruck Is Having A Big Shoe Sale. HUGE.

Guise! Solestruck is having a MASSIVE shoe sale. Get 50% off of any sale shoes with promo code FP72HMPZF. Through Monday!

($279, Maurie & Eve, Solestruck.com)

Sadly these Maurie & Eve leopard wedges weren't on sale, but I did get these Rocket Dog Otto heels in white leather. Because you can never have enough of those!

($191, Matt Bernson, Solestruck.com)

I paused briefly to consider these Matt Bernson Ripcord wedges because they're like $80, but I took a pass since I'm terrified of high wedges.

($19.95, Rocket Dog, Solestruck.com)

These were like $9. I mean, come on. Anyway, Solestruck also has free shipping for return customers, and you can opt to ship your shoes in an earth-friendly box. Now go forth and consume!

Senso's Pony Heels Are So Hot They Should Come With A Fire Extinguisher

($159.95, Senso, Solestruck.com)

It's hard to say which is stronger -- the preemptive guilt I'd experience buying these fur pony heels or the remorse I'd experience not buying them at all. #moralstruggle

They're by Australian brand Senso, and they're a hard-to-believe-they're-not-more-expensive $159 at the Solestruck, which is currently rebranding itself from "basic online shoe store" to a select, covet-worthy collection of "fun" (as opposed to "mom) brands like Jeffrey Campbell, All Black, Dolce Vita, and Rachel Comey. Basically, Solestruck incepted my mind while I was sleeping and set up a shop of all of my favorite affordable shoe brands. And pony fur heels.

Discount Vs. Designer: Matiko Does Christian Louboutin's Rollerball Studded Loafers!

Christian Louboutin, or, as Paris Hilton likes to say, Christian Loubuiton's studded Rollerball loafers have been on my fantasy fashion wish list for a fortnight. Obviously, since they're a grand, they're staying in the realm of the virtual and not the actual. BUUUUT, thanks to Matiko, a less-bad-ass version -- their "Leila" studded loafers -- could be mine for just $119. And guess what? THEY WILL! Just try and WATCH me not buy 'em!

($995, Christian Louboutin, Saks)

($119, Matiko, Solestruck.com)

And Christian Louboutin's Zebra Pack studded loafers will top my fantasy fashion list probably forever. They're like the late, great Mark Bolan in shoe form.

Patent And Wood Pumps, Por Favor

I love how Danish Modern these stacked patent platform heels feel. Shoes as furniture! At Ikea prices!

Solestruck's Puppy Ad Is Quite Possibly The Cutest, Least-Annoying Ad Ever

HOW could I just possibly go ahead and DELETE this McCuterspie ad from Solestruck? It utilizes the naturalistic collage style -- graphic design types, is there an actual name for this, because I just made that up. It was huge in the '80s, as seen here on the game board of Girl Talk... ... And that kinda treatment always reminds me of the inside of the Grease record album. Anyway, the Solestruck ad also struck me (har) because it employs one of my favorite '80s bubbly fonts AND a cute smooshy, wrinkly widdle puppy. Well done, Solestruck! I know I clicked!

And if you do, here are three pairs I'd click to buy! And you can't turn your nose up at free shipping, which they offer on the regulado, 24/7-ness.

($94.95, Betseyville, Solestruck)

I like how they're sorta '90s riot grrrl meets YSL.

($139, Madison Harding, Solestruck)

I SO can't do a wedge, but perhaps you can?

($99.95, Hunter, Solestruck)

Hardestcore splishy-sploshy rain boot cuteness. These Hunters also come in olive green and black with red detailing. Here, lemme show you, 'kay?

Tuesday Shoesday

Yay! Shoes! A subject that needs absolutely NO introduction. But if I were to summarize, I'd say... flats, skimmers, a whole lotta Seychelles and a few out of seasons. So let's step to it, eh?



($65, Nicole, Lulusfashionlounge.com)
Perfect height (I HATE the super stacked platform wedges, for me at least), fantastic neutral, and non-nauseating use of snakeskin!



($62, Seychelles, Lulusfashionlounge.com)
The Seychelles Barefoot in the Park is one of the few shoes I've ever discovered that I want to buy in every color. Case in point:



($69, Seychelles, Solestruck.com)



($68, Seychelles, Kitson.com)
Tee hee! More Seychelles! These would be named: Always A Lady


($32, Charles David, Delias.com)
Cute AND a steal!



($79, Seychelles, Solestruck.com)
I couldn't resist! More yellow! More Seychelles! More cutes!



($29, eBay)
I sorta liked the fun Florida bubbe colors here, until I realized they're also EYELET! NOOOOOOOOO!



($58, Exchange By Charles David, Zappos)
As I've previously posted, I am NOT a flip-flop fan. But... I sorta like the preppiness of these Charles David flops.



($174, Miss Sixty, Shoebungalow.com)
Great in theory, probably a hot mess in practice.



($99, Via Spiga, SmartBargains.com)
Ditto.



($107, Exchange By Charles David, Zappos.com)
Absolutely no clue why I like these. Actually, I'm not even sure I do.



($79, Seychelles, Solestruck.com)
Want want want want.



($69, Seychelles, Solestruck.com)
OMG. Madonna shoes. WANT! I totally had jelly shoes of this variety when I was a wee one. Oh man I want I want I want. I understand that with such great power comes great responsibility. I promise to use that power for good and not evil (evil being pairing with leggings like these.
Or these.



And finally, something I most decidedly DO NOT want:

($249, Roberto Cavalli, eBay)
Mine eyes!!!!!
