FASHION // i'd like to introduce you to the most amazing shoes in the universe

It's about eight billion degrees out right now (read: 95º but when you live in Maine that's nearly apocalyptic) and I have no energy or brain power to do anything but drink water and gaze dazedly at the computer screen, so here's a post about... yes... shoes.

Not just any shoes, mind.

Steve Madden high-heeled oxford shoes.

I KNOW.

I'd been looking for cheap oxfords for a while, but all the nice leather ones I found were way expensive and I am way a cheapskate.

Plus, I am definitely a high-heels girl. I'm not short (not very tall either, at 5'7") but I dislike flat shoes.

So when I found these babies at a thrift shop in Camden with Emily, I pretty much had a coronary.

Plus, they fit. They were a little small but since they're leather they stretched to fit my feet quite nicely.

If I died right now, these would be the only things I'd want to take with me.

See for yourself. I left them unedited.


Are they not amazing? They can be boho or glam or dressy or casual. Flipping out.

Oh yeah, and Taylor Swift wore them. And looked adorable. I found that out when I googled them to see how much they cost initially. ($50, not bad.) I'm not a country music person, but she is adorable and I love her fashion sense. Plus, you know, there was this. Kind of hard to hate her, she was so nice. She's on Teen Vogue's August cover, so my mom and I got all excited. Very cute editorial too.

  6. DUDE!! I saw the exact same shoe at Forever 21!! But I couldn't fit it because I wear 11's and they only go up to 10's. Boy, do I wish I was you. I also wish I had money. The typical teenage phrase. Anyway, I think I'm going to go sell some cake :))

  11. About the weather--I totally know what you're saying! Our county fair was this week (state fair for my photography *yay*!) and the awards day and the rodeo were both on the two hottest days this week. It was absolutely gross.

    What size shoes are you? I have extremely huge feet for a girl, and don't enjoy it much : ( I've always wished for smaller feet!

  18. There's a beautiful baby blue pair like this in Office right now. £35... But I'm holding out to find the same lucky find as you.

  19. High-heeled Oxfords! How I wish I had a pair!

  20. @Katie: Not a chance! :)

    @Holly: These are 7s, I'm usual a 7.5 for heels and an 8 for flat shoes, 8.5 for sneakers.
    My feet are kind of strange. They're not very large, but very wide. This limits my heel-wearing to only those with sides.

  21. *swoon* those are gorgeous!!!! Great find Olivia :)

  22. It has been so hot out where I live too! I tried to stay in the a/c as much as I could because it was so miserable to go outside!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oh, their beautiful!! *sigh* Can I have them? :)

    I like some of Taylor Swift's music, but her voice is pretty high-pitched. I only like certain artist's country music, such as Carrie Underwood. :)

  27. You have a nice foot size! I actually have narrow feet. My sister has wide feet like you though.
    That would be a pain for you!
