Soft brown leather pumps with almond-toe, 4-inch heel, and gold zipper details, by Liliana. I found these last week and had to have them, I was so delighted when they were delivered less than 24-hours after I ordered them, thank you, free overnight shipping! And thank you, Endless! I just love the zipper detail, so funky and unexpected!

Can I gush a little bit about this photo? I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this here before, but I don’t take most of the photos that are posted here. I take a few, like, maybe 5%. I am tricky, but the kind of contortion required for the shot above while still paying attention to light balance and composition are beyond my scope as a overly amateur photographer. Also, my little point-and-shoot camera just doesn’t have the skills for that sort of thing in the first place. No, I don’t take my own photos. My sister, pinksuedeshoe, comes to visit me every couple of weeks with her big, bad SLR and a head full of creative ideas, and she will take photos of 25 or 30 pairs of shoes. She’ll edit them up real nice and upload them for me to peruse and subsequently post here. It’s kind of like that scene in Clueless where Cher has her entire closet loaded into her computer and can scroll through it. That’s what I do in the morning (or the night before if I’m feeling productive). I scroll through, find a pair of shoes I want to wear, and then dream up an outfit to go with them.
Up until recently we have been doing these photo shoots outside, ignoring the strange looks from my neighbors as I schlep an enormous bag of shoes around the block, looking for the right spot. But this last Saturday we decided to set up a mini studio in my warm, cozy apartment and see how that would work. Come to find, the photos take about 10 times longer to get right when you’re working with sunshine coming through the skylight and setting up different backdrops. The good news is we both really love how they turned out (see above). Thanks a million, Pink!
