Cute Vintage-y Shoes

[ShrinkingViolet]

Lily Powers, are those original vintage shoes? If not, they sure could have fooled me.

These wellies are a reproduction/reinterpretation of a 1939 design. I'm not sure what to think of them, the toe area doesn't look quite right to me.

From the new Chie Mihara collection <3 <3

About the wellies:
The heel is nice, but I really don't like the leg: the silly laces, the "Viking"-logo... Would be much nicer if they, say, were folded down. Is the toe are too flat, or? It looks OK.

About the red Chie sandals:
The perforations are wonderful, so deco! But I don't like the slingback + t-strap combo, I don't know, it just looks disharmonious and maybe a little generic to me. Or maybe it's the clasps? Two is one too many. But I think I'd buy them just for the gorgeous deco patterns!

Did you see these? Cuuute!

Where can a gal purchase said boots? Does your heel fit inside the heel as the originals do?

As far as I can tell, they are not designed to accommodate a heel inside their own heel.

ShrinkingViolet,they are by Giraudon and are not vintage. However, I think they must have some magical, mystical, vintage aura about them because when I put them on, I feel transformed to another time.

And I love those Chie Miharas you posted. I don't know what makes me weep more - the cute shoes that Chie Mihara makes or the astronomical prices that keep them out of my closet.

I just bought these at Macy's, regular $110 on sale for $22! Might check their clearance if you have one near you.

They are Circa Joan and David and the style is called Beauchamp. Super comfy!

Looks like Nordstroms has some in crocodile!

Laura Chase, I agree about the buckles on the red Chie Miharas being a little too much of a good thing. But cute, nonetheless!

These have a very definite 30's evening shoe flair to them:

those look so reminiscent of Dorothy's ivory slippers from my 30's children's Wizard of Oz picture book. I lusted after those shoes when I was little. (and still do, I guess!) lol

For all you Europeans out there who can shop Klingel (http://www.klingel.com) but normally don't because their clothes are just...horrific, take a look at their shoes! Some of them are quite vintagey-looking!

If there is a lucky lady who wears a european size 41, Footlux still have a pair of these Chie Mihara shoes left in your size!

The price was so right that I had to snatch their last pair in 40, and just got them... They are so beautiful! The color is a brownish grey, it's a really beautiful color. I just tried pairing them with some sage green (a coolish green) stockings, and wauw!

That's not bad at all!
You and ShrinkingViolet keep talking about the wonders of Chie Mihara - so I am very tempted.
Are they true to size??

I am actaully going shoeshopping tomorrow. If I don't find anything satisfactory, maybe I should join the Mihara party. lol

 

[Laura Chase]

Yes, I would say they are true to size. Wonderful high-quality shoes, and comfortable too.

That's so sweet! I try to make a point out of realizing my childhood dreams. Look like a princess every day, eat all the cake you want, stay up late, wear Dorothy shoes. Go ahead!
