More Great Vintage Style Shoes from Masseys

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

Masseys  has become my new favorite website for cute vintage style shoes at reasonable prices.  In another post I wrote about their red tooled leather wedgies that I was considering purchasing for swing dancing. Well, I ordered them and they’re fantastic. Very comfortable and great to dance in.

So of course I had to check out some of their latest offerings. Check out these adorable shoes that are just perfect for summer.

This polka dot slide has a nice wooden platform and a very manageable heel height. I can totally picture them worn with a little 50s sundress.  They  also come in green, navy blue, black and orange, a pair to match every outfit!  A lot of style for only $49.95.

And how about these killer T strap platforms  with the bow accents?  Would look smashing with a 1940’s  flirty floral rayon peplum dress. They come in black as well. $69.95

These leopard print pumps are the perfect finishing touch to a 50s high waisted curvy black pencil skirt. $74.99

The problem is, I am convinced I need all of these. What’s a shoe addicted girl to do?

Faryl Robin Shoes on Sale at Zappos

Saturday, October 13th, 2007

This is a serious dilemma.  I want every single pair of these Faryl Robin  vintage inspired platform shoes.  They are so fabulously 40s looking and in such gorgeous colors. How can one even begin to decide?  Plus, they’re all 10% off  at Zappos

I’ve been really wanting a turquoise pair of shoes, but those camel and sage green suede ones, with the straps across the vamps, would look great with fall outfits.  Then of course, red shoes are my all time favorite  and the navy and ivory ankle strap beauties that look like something Rita Hayworth would have worn…..Lord have mercy!  All I can hope is that they’re out of my size on most of them, which will force me to narrow down my choices!
