Season: Winter 2014?

Material: 100% satin upper, leather lining and sole

Quality: Excellent! The heel is manageable (had them on for over four hours and felt just fine), the pointed toes scream sharp and classy while the crystal bow is a sweet addition for sparkle without being tacky.  Perfect! I’ve worn with a dress and a skirt so far, and received lots of compliments.

Fit: True to size

Sissi’s verdict: Keeper!! The pumps definitely elevate your outfit, and your feet 😉

Some outfit ideas from this week to inspire you! Let me know which look you like best, am particularly fond of the dot sweater from few seasons back…still cute and comfy!

Review: Collection Caged Bow pumps

I have a thing for ankle-strap shoes and booties and the caged bow pumps by J.Crew looked too good to pass on.  My review below.

What: Collection Caged Bow pumps by J.Crew

Season: Winter 2014

Material: Satin and suede upper, 100% leather lining and sole. Some elastic fabric to tie the shoes

Quality: Very good, as far a material goes. Was not too crazy about he tying fabric, just seemed off to me. The shoes are gorgeous otherwise, I love the subtle contrast between the navy satin againts the black suede. And the caged look makes the pair stand out.

Fit: True to size.  Loved the heel height , the caged look…very cute, but the tying ribbon…

Sissi’s verdict: I just could not get past the tying ribbon…seemed like some type of elastic material and it was a deal break. I would advise to substitute the ribbon for something else, maybe some leather lacets. At that price, I decided to return.  Do you have these cute pumps? Please share!
