Today on Boots I'm Dying For

I'm really only dying for the top ones, but the bottom ones get an honorable mention for being green. Their sculpting isn't quite ideal though, I feel.

Mel "Pop Heart" in pale pink

I still want these:



Though my favorite colorway of Lady Dragon was the one with a black heart on a peach shoe. I don't think they ever made a flat version of that. :(

retro heels of the day

A nice uptick in 1910s-1930s-nostalgic shoe styles and silhouettes this season. This is definitely my favorite high heel silhouette, one of the most comfortable and elegant in my view. Here, a bunch that look like they're about to head straight into a ballroom dancing class.

Dr Martens "Haley" riding boots in tan



Wouldn't it be funny if paint chips were all named things like "Vonda" and "Haley" and "Natalie" and shoe styles were named things like "Hopeful" and "Narcissus" and "Messenger Bag"?*

These are real color names. Messenger bag is kinda brown, if you were wondering. I guess my messenger bag is the wrong color then...

Converse x Marimekko Fall 2013



These two from this season's collection are my favorite Marimekko Converses since the partnership started a few seasons ago. I really love both of these, although not enough to want them at that price. (And also not as much as the pear-print Marimekko sneakers from back when they were manufacturing their own much lower-quality Converse knockoffs.)

1. Converse x Marimekko Ox in "Pisaroi"
2. Converse x Marimekko Ox in "Miniunikko" (multi)

(This is one of my 2 favorite unikko variations so far, too. Unikko is by far their most famous print, but I dislike most of the colorways.)
