My Spring Wish List

As I think about shopping for Spring, it’s more of the same for sure: pretty dresses (especially swingy silhouettes like the one above) and matching sets… platforms, lots and lots of color. All anchored with some great neutral pieces (like these rattan “sneakers” and this Veronica Beard blazer). And cut-offs of course. I am living in my favorite AGOLDE Parkers (I have the classic wash and the white) and just got this pair — I like the finished hem a lot!

Color is a big thing for me this year. I’ve always loved color, especially green… but I am really digging this year’s trendier colors (lime green, tangerine, lilac) and also adding in more blues (especially baby blue) and reds (especially tomato + fiery red/orange) as well!

    I really love your shoes in these pics, I’ve seen you wear them before and they are just so flattering. It had me wondering, how comfortable are they? I also thought a round up of your most comfortable heels would be a great post! I know you love your Sarah Flint heels, any other brands or heels you recommend for long time wear would be an interesting read!

      Hi Naomi, I would say they are medium level comfortable. For a stiletto, HIGHLY. But a stiletto will just never be as comfortable as a block heel. I would say these are as comfortable as my Sarah Flint stilettos, if that makes sense? They’ve definitely become a favorite in my rotation.

      My comfortable heel rotation: Sarah Flint, Loeffler Randall, Margaux! Though: platform heels have been a gamechanger as they are pretty much universally comfy which is the best.

        As someone who fell and broke her back and injured her foot permanently (inoperable), I can second the comfort of platforms! I am *technically* not allowed to wear heels, and anything too flat like a Birk is also a no-go, but a girl can’t wear crocs all the time. Platforms feel like higher heels, and provide much more stability and shock absorption than people realize.

        Some other comfortable brands I’ve had luck with are Korks or Kork-Ease, Naturalizer, Vince Camuto, Vince, Jeffrey Campbell, Paul Green, Eileen Fisher, and Clarks. I know some of those brands don’t sound like they would have cute heels–it IS very hit or miss–but sometimes they do. You just have to check regularly (and try their brand sites, which have more options). My most-complimented sexy heels are actually platform stilettos from Naturalizer! They look like like classy, super-high heels because of the platform, but for my foot, are just a slight heel.

    Oh my goodness I love that blue dress! I can’t believe those earrings are 6 thousand dollars but they are pretty.

      I know, Irene Neuwirth’s pieces are certainly an investment!!! I always try to link similar flower pieces when I see them for less money (Lizzy Fortunato had done some nice ones!)

    Thank you! I love the loafers with raffia sole and think I might need them. Did you take your normal Euro size? For example, did you take the same size on these as your Chanel dad sandals? I’m just wondering because description says they run slightly large. Yikes, this is my second purchase this week you have “influenced!”

      I got a 38.5 because they said to size down (I am usually a US 8.5 / European 39). They are perfect!

    Those shoes are adorable on you, especially with that nail color! Can you share what color and brand it is? Thanks.

    Hi Grace,
    My wording was confusing. I’m sorry! I meant to ask what color nail polish are you wearing on your toes! It’s fabulous!

      Oh I have no idea — I got them done in Belize at the hotel and the bottles didn’t have names or numbers. Just a bright red orange. Essie Clambake is pretty similar from what I remember.
