Musilova // Pravda Both Under $155
Although tricky to wear, lace up sandals have been a favorite style of mine for quite some time. Now, I say, “tricky”, because like any ankle strap shoe, unless you have legs like Giselle, they can make your legs look super short if they aren’t paired with the right skirt length. Take this picture of Kim Kardashian…I know she has been trying a new super chic look and while the shoes are great, the combination of short legs, ankle straps and a skirt that’s too long creates a sls..stumpy leg syndrome {I just made that up by the way}.
In order to avoid cutting off your legs, try testing out a few different skirt lengths from mid thigh to knee length to see what combination looks right on your legs. Thin or light colored strap shoes will also help elongate them.

Charlotte Dellal transformed her Paris showroom into a magical wonderland for her fairy tale inspired fall collection. Buyers and editors were welcomed by Rapunzel’s hair which led up to the showroom where Little Red Riding Hood, The Big Bad Wolf, Goldilocks and the Three Bears awaited guests. There was even a life size, edible gingerbread house that dispensed lattes for show goers. Ummmm I have been to shoe shows and I can tell you I have never experienced anything as amazing as this. But let’s be honest, I was at convention centers and this is Charlotte Olympia in Paris for godssakes. Anyway take a look at the amazing atmosphere, incredibly creative displays and of course amazing fairy tale inspired shoes!
Insane right? Head over to Moda Operandi to see and shop the collection.
Also, be sure to head over to Tartan and Sequins! They are featuring my home on their “Design Envy” series. Yahooooo!
