Ladi Likes: Lace Up Heels


I am obsessed with the lace-up heel trend. A pair will definitely be on my wish list for my birthday next month!

Act Like A Ladi: Dress Like A Diva: Wedge Sneakers


As an (early) birthday present to myself, I bought two pair of shoes- a pair of black combat boots and a pair of wedge sneakers!  

I know in the blog world there are mixed feelings about wedge sneakers, but as a former teenage sneakerhead, I love them!  They are super comfortable and I love having a little extra height from the hidden wedge while the shoes just appear to be regular high top sneakers.  I stepped out of my comfort zone by getting the gray/blue colorway instead of the basic black, but my closet is full of neutral colors so I'm sure I will be wearing these quite a bit!

Would you rock a pair of wedge sneakers?

Shoe Lust

I may have an addiction...

It seems I can't go more than a month without getting a new pair of shoes. I always get a good deal and I try to get shoes that I will actually wear (instead of having them sit in the black of my closet)  but no matter how I rationalize it, I got it bad y'all...I love shoes!

I was itching to get some new shoes this week so I started browsing my favorite shoe websites (Endless, DSW, Aldo, 6pm)  and Shopstyle to comparison shop for best prices.  I narrowed down to a few pairs that I liked and here are some of the hottest (and pretty affordable) styles:
Aldo- Bracker 



Steve Madden- P-Rada




Madden Girl- Wisperr

Aldo- Mendosa 
After some thought and some input from my fiance,  I settled on these bad boys:
Seychelles- Good Ole Days 
They have a comfortable 3" heel, I love the colors, are so ladi-like, and just so "Me"! Thank God for free 2-day shipping so I will be able to wear them this weekend!

Summer-Ready Flats (on a Budget!)

I love heels and wedges, but I have a soft spot in my heart for flats. They are so comfortable, are appropriate for work or play, and I've been wearing them ever since I was a kid  :)    As much as I love flats, I have to admit that I don't want to pay a lot of money for them.  If I'm going to spend over $50 for a shoe, it has to make me feel tall and sexy (stilettos!), but when I'm going for a cute, classy or retro look, my go-to is a nice affordable ballet flat.  Shoe designers have taken the basic flat shoe and jazzed them up with neons, florals, and geometric prints to create summer-ready styles that are right on trend.  Here are my favorite flats under $50:


I can't do a post about Summer footwear without mentioning sandals! Summer is "Pedicure Season" and what better way to show off your nail polish and give your toes some breathing room than a cute, flat sandal? Here are some options under $50 that incorporate color blocking, beadwork, neutrals, and metallics:
