Like everyone else in the blogosphere it seems, I’m getting antsy for a change in the weather. Between being restricted by the 30×30 and the endless rain we’ve had in San Francisco, I’m going shoe stir-crazy. You’d think it would be enough to move beyond 6 pairs of shoes plus rain boots, but I need more. I can’t just return to my closet, I have to add to it. Like migrant animals that are drawn towards the same location every year, I’m feeling drawn towards new shoes.

I’m feeling canvas, bright colors, menswear details, and things with straps. The ones I want the most, by Surface to Air and Opening Ceremony, are of course the most expensive. The pink strappy Opening Ceremony wedge/clog thing is potentially the most difficult to walk in (5” heel, 1.5” platform), but that’s what makes them fun! Personally I find that heels with a wedge and/or platform are far more manageable than a stiletto. In fact I’m over stilettos… but bring on the platform wedges!
