Our blonde belle just turned 18 and these were by far her favorite gifts! Thanks for “topping” us all big sister (she likes to make a habit of that)

From shopbop

By Vince

From Kendall and Kylie

From Need Supply.

From Barneys (Givenchy with mink!!)

From Nordstrom

From Asos

They are the trend of the moment, and we do love a good trend. We like the curly lamb and the espadrilles. Do you y’all have any that catch your eye?

We love a purchase to perk up our Monday…and we love sharing our recent obsessions with our belle-friends!!

A current obsession…this shoe in “of-the-moment blush”…

From Steve Madden via Nordstrom

And while it’s on SALE…why not try a color for next season…

And for you local Greenville belles, and immediate gratification, MUSE has these…

This Rebecca Minkoff at Muse is perfect for now and later!

And this Vince Camuto (again, at Muse) features that “easy-on, easy-off” zipper…’cause sometimes a belle can get impatient with all those buckles!! Just sayin’

Obsessed yet? Nothin’ better than a purchase to kick off the week!!

amazon, dupe, Kaitlyn Pan, nordstrom, rockstud, rockstud sandal, valentino

We are suckers for shoes and have been known to drop a coin or two on a really beautiful pair. We also like a great find at a fraction of the price. Alas, often these sub-par duplicates don’t even begin to compare in style, comfort and quality.

But every once in a while we score, and this is one such magical moment.

We both covet Valentino and in particular the Rockstud Collection . The square-heeled version is one that has us drooling lately…

Swoon-worthy, aren’t they?? You can get the real deal here but they come at a hefty price.
We were looking for a more financially fiscal version as we weren’t sure we would get the price-per-wear out of them. And did we ever find an awesome dupe!!!!

Check THESE out…

We ordered them here and they are perfect!! Wore them right out of the box for hours the first day!

We have been wearing them practically every day since!!!

Thank you Kaitlyn Pan and Amazon

You need!!

nordstrom, Pour la Victoire, sandal, shoe, stuart weitzman

Looking for the perfect nude shoe to go with spring’s blushes and neutrals? Well…we found some options at Nordstrom that just might tickle your fancy…

Both of these are absolutely beautiful on!

On the left, the Stuart Weitzman “Nudistsong” in “Naked Suede” lives up to its name! For those with a pinky-peach skin tone, this one disappears…in an excellent way!

On the right, the Pour la Victoire “Elisa” sandal is just the right matte metallic to get their attention without screaming “look at me all bright-n-shiny”. No one wants a screamin’ shoe!

Although these are both a bit on the “tall” side with sky-high heels, they are actually quite comfortable if you dare to go there.

Give ’em a try…cause, of course, it’s #allabouttheshoe

Christian Louboutin, Net a porter, nordstrom, pump, rupert sanderson, sandal, shoes

Belles love to shop…and we love to share! Here are some of our recent purchases that we just had to call to your attention.

The Simple Pump from Christian Louboutin is one of our favorites!! And this rich caramel color makes it irresistible! We both have them and wear them probably a bit too much…but we are working on decreasing the price-per-wear!

Available at Nordstrom

These sandals are going to be a belle’s go-to for day to night and everything in between. Whether it’s jeans, dresses, shorts, or cropped pants, these will make every combination!

From Net a porter by Rupert Sanderson

We have them. We think you need them too!!

espadrille, floral, nordstrom, Topshop

This pair of belles both bought a pair of these shoes. Why? The perfect combination of the on-trend floral movement and the escalation of espadrilles. This little beauty does both without breaking the bank!

Available at Nordstrom and Topshop
