Yeah we’re just going to put “sensible” in quotes as if my mom reads this post, she will laugh at me! But these pumps are so comfortable and I was surprised to learn that the heel is actually only 2.5″ tall! I have a lot of cute flats but will always prefer a heel. I like being tall and feel way more put together when I’m wearing heels, but I also like being comfortable so over the years I have gotten really good at finding heels that are comfortable but still cute. (My other go-to comfortable heels are these Manolos– have ’em in red and grey and they’re worth every penny) and of course anything Sarah Flint (use my code GRACE50 for $50 off your first pair!) and also Margaux’s classic pumps – love the leopard!
Also a little bit random, but I have a really good sale to tell you about: BaubleBar is having a really good sale – almost everything is 25% off, if you use code FF25. I’m going to buy these floral drops in white (they are SO crazy PRETTY and delicate!) and I have these gold earrings which I literally get stopped and asked about all.the.time. They’re amazing and only $34 – before the sale! (Ends 3/7).
Outfit Details: Sandro Trench Coat (from last year but love the look of this) // J.Crew Leopard Sweatshirt (different style but like this one even better!)// Good American Jeans // Gucci Purse // Celine Sunglasses // Talbots Pumps (similar!)
How was your weekend? Mine was really nice. My parents ended up not coming because of the storm which was a bummer, but I used the plans-free weekend to get ahead on work before I leave for vacation on Wednesday. It was really nice to have some time to sit and get caught up… I always make myself a little crazy before a trip (with packing, errands, etc) so it’s nice to start the week out ahead!!!
It wasn’t all work though. I had a fun dinner at Nobu with a good friend, and finally saw Three Billboards (SO GOOD, if you haven’t GO SEE IT!!). I also got to two yoga classes which is always a treat.

The heels look so comfortable to walk in – I’m all for large heel bases because I can’t walk in heels otherwise. Love the red colour too, makes such a statement to any casual outfit. 🙂

Totally agree with you on Talbots! I have so many gems from there right now — have you seen the army green jacket with pom pom detailing? My new favorite.

love heels! 3.5 best. what do you have??
For something a little higher I love Manolo Blahnik! x
So good! 2-2.5″ is my ideal heel height. I’m tall as well and don’t need much height, and I also need a shoe I can spend long days in, running around at work, running around NYC, etc. I think that’s the magic of being in your 30s, realizing it’s not cute to be hobbling around in pain but also not settling for an orthopedic looking clunker.
I forget to check Talbots but I’m always happy for another source for perfect heels. J Crew makes a similar style and my all time fave model is the one from Margaux NY (have you tried? I have them in 4 colors!), but I look forward to trying Talbots spin on it!
I need to try Margaux!!!!
Taking a little break from shopping -more on that to come, but they are on my list. 🙂 xx
I have been looking everywhere for comfortable heels! I moved to downtown Charleston almost two years ago and it’s so beautiful and i love walking most places, but I can’t wear most of my heels for long. Even most of my flats hurt. I’ve actually looked at those Manolos before, I may have to make the investment!

These would be PERFECT for Charleston with all the cobblestone streets. The manolos may be a little trickier – stilettos + cobblestones are always hard, no matter the heel height… I’d do a chunkier heel or a wedge!!!!
