It's been a very curated shoe life for me of late. If you need context, peep this story about how I culled my fall and winter footwear to just five(!) pairs. About 90% of the time, I'm thrilled with that kind of minimalism—in theory. About 10% of the time, it's just me wondering why there would be so many lovely pairs of shoes if I'm not allowed to buy any of them until spring.
Let's take a bit of that energy and direct it into something productive, shall we? There are loads and loads of great shoes on offer right now, and because I'm not buying any of them, there are more for you. I'm including plenty of flats because we're still hot on that shoe trend. I'd personally call it a lifestyle choice, but I digress. I also have a fab little collection of very special heels that deserve your attention, and lots of black styles at the request of one practical friend out there who's on the hunt for the perfect pair. Let's roll.
These stopped my scroll.
This teeny-weeny blade of a heel.
I'm truly not a big ballet-flats person, but The Row can convince me of all sorts of things.
I'm extremely interested in all flat brown shoe options.
This hue in mesh is also really doing it for me.
If you're trying really hard not to just buy another pair of Sambas.
Love a kickstand heel.
I feel like I'm not allowed to say "quiet luxury" anymore, but these just are.
Square-toe flats are coming for me.
Just a bit of red to show you've been paying attention.
A little mock croc.
Super-strappy, baby-buckled slingbacks continue to be a big vibe.
Another option just in case those were just a little too strappy for you.
For the minimalists.
When your low-key winter outfit just needs a big pop of color.
All aboard the Toteme train.
A similar soft-point vibe for under $100.
The best black loafers I've seen in a minute.
Chic and minimal.
Gray heels are very downtown cool.
I do like that these come up a little higher than your average ballet flats.
Great sneaks.
Khaite with the mesh.
Since we're all abuzz after the Jacquemus show.
You kind of need to click in to see, but these are a really good shade of green.
Art.
Art!
Model off duty.
The people wanted ballet flats.
If you're into designer ballet flats.
If you're into designer ballet flats, the sequel.
Instagram loves these Gucci slingback flats.
I think about these a lot.
Yes and double yes with the tights.
These will be so good right through summer and into next fall.
The hardware!
