Season: Summer 2015

ebelandi_jcrew_elsie_pumps_1

Material: 100% leather upper, lining and sole.

Quality: Very good! Soft leather, very unique print (some type of zebra-like lines). Pointed toe is well executed, minimal toe cleavage and mid-heel.

Fit: True to size. Very comfortable to walk in.

Sissi’s verdict: Undecided….I love the versatility of the print, but not sure to keep at the full price (even with 30% promo…maybe wait for sale?)

Fit: Sizing is off (again!). I’d say the shoes run half a size bigger than normal.

Sissi’s verdict: Return. I’d recommend half a size down if you are considering.

Review: Aria Pumps by Tory

WhatAria Jeweled Pumps by Tory Burch

oi_weekend_ebelandi_26jan15_2

Season: Winter 2014?

Material: 100% satin upper, leather lining and sole

ebelandi_tory_burch_aria_jeweled_pump_26an15_4

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 😉

Big feet…Nordstrom is the answer

I am a shoe size 11 (EU 42) and it is a challenge to find shoes that fit my ‘big’ feet. As a result, the rule I follow is to either buy it if I find it, or forget it because it won’t be back 🙂

So, I was pleasantly surprised to receive the following notification from Nordstrom: they have extended their line for out of the norm feet 🙂 (over size 10 and under size 5).

Well, so many choices and now I have a headache 🙂 You can checkout the shoe haven at Nordstrom.  Some of my picks below, simply click on the image to be redirected. Let me know if you fall for the temptation, and which shoes you select 😉
