Remember last week, when I went down to LA for a quick trip? I spent a few hours during that time with the beautiful Wendy of Wendy’s Lookbook. Wendy has always been so supportive and sweet – she was one of the first bloggers to let me interview her, and is a true professional.She also has an amazing wardrobe- as soon Wendy walked through the lobby of the hotel, I knew I had to have her shoes. I was cooing over them like crazy and while we were talking, kept petting them like a maniac. Yes I have no concept of personal space (except mine).
The shoes finally arrived from Saks and I already wore them a few times tromping around outside which is super rare for me – usually I wait a few days or so in case I need to return them. But I was in super duper love at first sight (and wear!) I have a very special weakness for mary janes – and I really really love YSL platforms – they are just so incredibly comfortable.

Coup de foudre!
To me, tan + almond toe + strap = in my closet but I am so very self conscious about the platform and heel. I might get vertigo! lol!

October 10, 2011 at 4:41 pmOooohhhh, so pretty! Hahaha, I can totally picture you petting Wendy's shoes; I would, too. ;). Now you are able to pet your own to your heart's content! FYI, re: The Stronghold, HOW DID YOU KNOW? My husband wanted to name it Winterfell or King's Landing, but I told him that would be too GoT specific. The Keep was another option. 😉

October 10, 2011 at 4:57 pmI would never be able to walk in them, but they look very good. Great color again, you can wear it during every season.

October 10, 2011 at 5:45 pmI'm just in awe of you and Wendy. I don't know how the two of you managed to walk so comfortably in heels this high. How I wish I could do the same.

October 10, 2011 at 5:55 pmYay! We're shoe twins now LOL! Can't wait to see your outfits with them.
MM and I drove to SF, shot for two days and drove straight back down. Next time when we're up there, I'll take a longer break and call you. We'll prance around town with these beauties!
Vanessa
October 10, 2011 at 6:34 pmFunny that you mention Wendy's Lookbook — I recently discovered her YouTube channel. And those shoes are INSANE (in a very good way). They're miles high, but still in a subdued color, so it totally works. And is that a Missoni print I spy? 😉

October 10, 2011 at 6:35 pmI can't wait to see them in an outfit either! And I am watching Boardwalk Empire- I love the interiors and fashion.

October 10, 2011 at 7:29 pmI saw these on Wendyslookbook's blog too and I fell in love with them! I absolutely love heels with some sort of strap since they make it so comfy to walk in!!
Do these fit true to size??

October 10, 2011 at 9:30 pmomg omg, I absolutely love them! I have them in black but the mary jane version looks so cute! YSLs are one of the most comfortable brands for shoes.

October 10, 2011 at 10:01 pmCongrats! These are beautiful!!
Can you please review these on long distance walkability in comparison to other shoes? I've been torn with the idea of getting them (because at YSL I can walk in the them, you know, after the champagne confidence they give me or the carpeting that helps me float).
I've considered them for graduation so I don't want to fall in them 😀 I know that Wendy finds them comfy for all day walking but I'm seeking other opinions <3

Tangled In Texas
October 11, 2011 at 1:55 amOMG those are gorgeous! I usually "save" things awhile too before I wear them. Aren't we silly? 🙂 For me, it's not a return issue. It's a "I want to keep them/it pretty" issue. Ha!
I do love a Mary Jane though! I have been looking for a comfortable black leather pair for awhile after my others "died". MJs are so perfect to wear with hosiery because they stay on my feet!

October 11, 2011 at 3:00 amLol!I bet Wendy would only take offense to you naming her shoes after petting them!
What a great purchase! I love them against that fabric!

October 11, 2011 at 3:24 amIt's nice to know such high heels can still be comfortable (lots of thanks to platforms)! Really love the color as well.
