hiya everyone! this week has been a long one so far, gatherings with friends and wrapping up a few projects for some lovely ladies which i will share later :)
for christmas i bought myself a little present, a pair of shoes i have been drooling over for, oh about 2 years now...
lotta's from stockholm! it took them a very long to finally reach my loving arms but it was well worth it! they are just AMAZING and every bit as beautiful as i thought they would be!
i have been wearing them like crazy ever since i got them. they go with literally everything in my closet. i often get in fits where i am so uninspired by my clothes but these shoes have opened up a plethora of combinations. i love how retro they look and they look great with both skirts and pants.
i wore this outfit to work. i realized after looking at these pictures that i wear this new backpack of mine soooooo low and loose, it looks kinda ridiculous! i haven't worn a backpack in so long, i guess, oh well!
this is a go too outfit for me. black cardigan, my upcycled lace peter pan shirt (which you can get a better view of
here) and my leopard print high waisted skirt. after taking these picture bright & early it realized you can barely see what i am wearing which is okay because the shoes are what really matter to me! hehe they take a bit to get used to for riding but are super comfy to ride in and i think a bit sexy too. i just love adding a pop of red to all my outfits. i apologize in advance if you see these shoes a lot in the posts to come :)
what shoes are you lusting over?
xo,
cb
You are the freaking cutest.
ReplyDeleteYou look adorable and I love your backpack. Yay for new shoes. I love how satisfying it is to want something for a very long time and then you are finally able to buy it. It feels so good!
ReplyDeleteit felt amazing to finally have them. 2 years is a long time and i was happy they were exactly what i wanted!
DeleteThey're so pretty! i've fallen in love with them - such a lovely pop of colour to the outfit! Looking adorable :) xo
ReplyDeleteThey are such pretty shoes - great colour!
ReplyDeleteLove those!! Glad to hear they're so comfy. :)

oh cb, they're beautiful! i'm about to die to get a pair of awesome clog sandals!
ReplyDeleteoh you should get some! they are so fun and classic so they will always good!
DeleteThose are awesome! I love the red color, and you look so darn sophisticated :)
ReplyDeleteEek! Those are amazing - I love the shade of red :) I always like clothes and accessories more when I've wanted for a long time. I'm also craving a pair of clogs - but I've also spied some beaded moccasins that I adore too :) http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=23639974
ReplyDeleteget them! you will never forgive yourself if you don'! but those moccasins are SUPER cute too!
Deletenice shoes! welll i have my new Hunter wellies coming any day now, not as glam as your shoes but i am every bit as excited!!
ReplyDeletegetting anything in the mail is super excited. your wellies are super cute!
Deleteoh man, those are adorable shoes! i kind of like the way you wear your backpack, gives you more of a cool school girl look.
ReplyDeletehaha thanks tina!
DeleteI love those shoes and the skirt! Such a great go to outfit.
ReplyDeletexo Amber P.
thanks amber!
Deletekeep the shoes coming! They are too cute to not wear everyday! (PS all the cool kids wear their backpacks loose and low)
ReplyDeletethen i will keep them coming!!
Deletenow they are some gorgeous shoes honey! and I love the outfit too, always good to have a "go to" outfit. I am desperately in need of some new shoes, but have yet to find any I really love - you've inspired me to start shopping :) xox
ReplyDeletego get some new shoes, yayayayayayayy! telling you it does wonders and i am not a shoe person at ALL. i actually hate shoe shopping but it is real nice to have a new pair!
DeleteI have never heard of that brand but they are super cute! I have been lusting over Swedish Hasbeens though, they are very similar in style. They have som really cool "clog-type" boots as well.
ReplyDeletexo Lisa
oh if i could afford a pair of swedish hasbeens i would buy them all! they are so cute! they have a really nice yellow pair that i would love to own :)
DeleteI love your new shoes! They are super cute! Red is my favorite color... and these are just darling. I like that you wore them with tights... I just adore the way that looks.
ReplyDeleteI am obsessed with Jeffrey Campbell Lita boots... which aren't practical, because I can't ride my bike or run to the bus stop in them... they are like those shoes I wear to party and don't walk around too much in... but I love them!
thanks sweetie! i have tried on a pair of jeffery campbells that my sister in law has and they are really cute but i think if i wore them i would just be a statue, walking in them is a bit frightening! and i could not imagine running in them to save my life, i would break ankle! hehe
DeleteWomen and shoes, I'll never understand.
ReplyDeleteLOTTA LOVE!!!! those shoes are awesome to extremes and good for you about making them a xmas gift for yourself. Cristie, you are so right about how a shoe like that really does go with everything, makes me crave my own pair even more. i've always loved the whole Swedish Hasbeens look and clog stomping swag of these types of shoes.
ReplyDeletei recently got my 1st backpack in an age too - does take some adjusting to get it to sit right but you probz had it loosened so you can bend over to ride the bike and all. makes sense to me anyways : )
you are looking especially lovely, bring on more lotta's. i won't ever turn away! ♥
clog stomping, lol! i am naturally a shuffler/stomper so it is really fun wearing these :O i love swedish hasbeens but why oh why must they be so expensive!? these are just as nice and half the price. you should totally get your own sweetie, you would look amazing in them!
Deleteglad you won't get sick of my ever posting about my lottas! ;D
THOSE SHOES! They're perfect! I need a pair for the summer ever-so badly!
ReplyDeleteyou can totally rock them in the winter! i am wearing tights and knee high socks and they are so perfect for winter! my feet were warm and oh so happy!
DeleteI love love your outfit!! Those shoes are retro-perfect and you are so right that adding a pop of red to an outfit totally changes everything up in the best way! I'm currently drooling over these red ModCloth wedges (I got them in the mail last week but they were too small, so I sent them back today and can't wait to get them in the larger size!). I realized when looking at my shoe rack (or should I say, pile of shoes, haha) the other day that I have too many black/dark shoes - time to spice it up a bit!
