Not trying to brag or anything...

Rachel Comey Ipswich Brogue Wedge

I went to Portland and Rachel Comey stole my money (not literally).
(FYI: There were sweat-toe-marks made by some else' toes but that didn't gross me out enough to not buy them. What's wrong with me?)

If I Were Superman, Shoes Would Be My Kryptonite.

I was going to tell you that I’m not addicted to shoes but then that would mean lying to you. Well, that and the fact that eventually there will be more posts about my shoe lust and you’ll eventually figure me out. So. Why lie?

I've never been good at the whole left-to-right, clockwise thing so I'm not going to torture you with it either.

2. F-Troupe Suede Flat with Structured Bow (aka the most perfect flat ever)

4. Hope Sly Shoe
*Yes, I know. I spelled it "F-a-r-l-y" instead of "F-a-r-y-l". But I had to remake this image more than once already... I'm sorry. I'm lazy.

Um. No. Don't be mistaken that these 4 pairs of shoes are all I'm jonesing for. My addiction reaches far and wide, from flats to sneakers to heels. Sometimes I secretly wish my feet were bigger so I can fit into men’s shoes. But that's a whole new blog post.

I heart you, solely.

In some alternate universe, Chie Mihara and I are best friends and she sends me a pair of her shoes every month to remind me that she loves me. Unfortunately, I don't live in that universe... In the one I currently reside in, I have to buy my own Chie's.

I watched an adorable video of Chie Mihara talking about her shoes, her design philosophy, and I think she's the cutest person ever.

"It's really a man's industry so I like to take a lot of good things about men's shoes and put them in the women's shoes cos I think we deserve it" - Chie Mihara.



Honestly, CM is like a super creative podiatrist. The anatomic foot bed she talks about in her video is amazing. It's like... your feet is cushioned by a cloud. I've hiked up and down small hills, walked around for hours in 4 inch CMs and everything is fine. My feet don't hurt and I don't feel like I have to kill anyone. Sometimes, after a long day of heels that hurt me, I am the grumpiest person you'll ever meet.



High Snobette has a preview of the CM S/S 2010 collection up - it has only made my obsession worse. I also saw a preview of the collection on the Bromley Group NYC's Youtube channel. CM is bringing in some new elements: a men's line (for the uber metro-sexual man - just my opinion) and a bridal collection. The girl in the spring/summer preview video is talking about shoes in this monotoned way that makes me want to kill myself. Seriously. Let me do it. I can do a much better job.
