 Topshop Blazer, AA Tank, Forever 21 Dress and Glasses, Leviticus Harness, YSL Heels

The moment I spotted these Yves Saint Laurent sandals at the Barneys warehouse sale, I decided they were going home with me, long before I even tried them on.  To my astonishment, they were incredibly comfortable, which I discovered while running through the streets of New York (in the rain, no less).   For the time being, they’ve been overshadowed by this intricately cool Leviticus harness that I’ve paired with just about every item in my closet.

12 Couture Cookie { 09.22.09 at 3:23 am }

Yes, walking in the NYC rain sucks…. but forget the foot pain, I often end up never wearing my best shoes since I don’t want them to get ruined by any rain that may or may not start falling. :(

13 Emily { 09.22.09 at 3:35 am }

OMG! These shoes are gorgeous !!

14 Jessica { 09.22.09 at 3:51 am }

Those do not look comfortable. They do look hot though!

27 Sal { 09.22.09 at 6:05 am }

Stunning. That origami-esque bow on the toe? Just gorgeous!

28 Liv { 09.22.09 at 6:06 am }

29 Pretty Little World { 09.22.09 at 6:10 am }

Gorgeous shoes!! I love the little patent bow!!

30 The Budget Babe { 09.22.09 at 6:15 am }

the shoes appeared black in the first few photos, so it was a pleasant surprise to discover the red hue in the close-up shot. fierce.

31 Corks & Caftans { 09.22.09 at 6:39 am }

harness kicks ass. not sure it’d kick it to cool over my big bust though. haha.

32 Vivian { 09.22.09 at 6:43 am }

The sandals are so pretty!!!!! I love the whole look -as usual- especially the floral dress.

33 Suzy { 09.22.09 at 6:54 am }

I am in LOVE with that Leviticus harness! I bought the Claire harness and a few other pieces a while back and I can’t wait to buy more.

40 Hola!Design { 09.22.09 at 7:21 am }

love the shoes and the floral skirt!

41 Kate { 09.22.09 at 7:23 am }

The bow YSLs are definitely my favorite. The color is fab, they come in navy too, but these are far cuter.

42 JadoreVogue { 09.22.09 at 7:32 am }

Great look!

43 Heather Clark { 09.22.09 at 7:43 am }

great shoes! perfect color for fall and i love how the strap is at the front of the shoe instead of the side

44 WendyB { 09.22.09 at 7:44 am }

Fabulous shoes — what a find!

45 Jacqueline { 09.22.09 at 7:50 am }

47 b.a. { 09.22.09 at 8:11 am }

wow. perfection.

48 Cafe Fashionista { 09.22.09 at 8:15 am }

Those shoes are a-ma-zing! :)

49 Grace { 09.22.09 at 8:30 am }

That necklace is perfection. I love that the shoes are not basic black – the deep burgundy will probably go with everything too! Platforms are forgiving….but that’s what, 6 inches? You ran in NYC in the rain on that?? That’s fashion courage.

Love your blog and your look. Can’t quite afford cashmere yet…but cupcakes forever :)

50 Logan { 09.22.09 at 8:38 am }

love the shoes!

60 Heidi { 09.22.09 at 9:49 am }

Those shoes would never be homeless for long. And to think I thought they were black at first! And I’d never think to wear a harness. Until now! :)

61 erin { 09.22.09 at 10:08 am }

i love that dress! and the necklace (harness)! i was surprised by the colour of the sandals – they look black in the first 2 photos.

62 Neekoh { 09.22.09 at 10:20 am }

Totally loving the harness! I love that, even though your style is soft and feminine, you still work it in pretty seamlessly.
And the shoes require no more commentary. Delicious.

63 The Lil Bee { 09.22.09 at 10:21 am }

OK, the gorgeous blood red/maroon color of those shoes…the heel height…the darling bow…there are NO words. Nicely done, sister.

64 Beth { 09.22.09 at 10:43 am }

Gorgeous outfit!
LOVE those shoes haha

66 Rachel (Heart of Light) { 09.22.09 at 10:57 am }

It’s so cute on you, but I can just picture myself getting hopelessly tangled up trying to get it on.

67 Steph { 09.22.09 at 11:01 am }

Chains are so hot right now! You look fabulous in this outfit! And nice choice on those hot heels!

68 Her name was Lola { 09.22.09 at 11:45 am }

Shut up! Those YSL sandals are to. die. for.

Cheers.

72 All Women Stalker { 09.22.09 at 12:20 pm }

You’ve walked in those in the rain??? You got mad skillz.

-meream

73 Tara { 09.22.09 at 1:05 pm }

The YSL heels are to die for! …and I probably would die if I tried to walk in them, HA!

74 Wanderlusting { 09.22.09 at 1:54 pm }

As killer as they are (PLEASE you have the best luck at Barney’s Warehouse – share your buying secrets with me on tomorrow’s post, I would like your input on a question), I still don’t believe they are comfortable though…you must just have feet impervious to pain! jealous :P

75 violka { 09.22.09 at 2:06 pm }

Have you seen ‘Lipstick Jungle’ (a bit poorer version of ‘SATC’ yet still fun to watch on a rainy day)? You look like one of the characters, Nico Reilly :) ) and she had similar shoes :) ) gorgeous by the way :) )

76 Jheanell { 09.22.09 at 4:07 pm }

whoa – those shoes are amazing! congrats on scoring them at a good price

77 breezy { 09.22.09 at 4:20 pm }

love the chains with the sweet floral skirt… strikes a perfect balance.

on a side note… i’m on the hunt for wedding shoes. have you seen any killer turquoise flats floating around the internet lately? i’ve checked neimans and nordstrom and it yielded nada. i figured i’d ask the professional.

78 bryna { 09.22.09 at 5:55 pm }

GORGEOUS outfit!

79 barb { 09.22.09 at 6:06 pm }

look at how cute and petite you are…would love to wear those shoes but at 5’10″ I’d just look like the jolly green giant

80 3 Stinky Boys and Me { 09.22.09 at 7:36 pm }

Love the chains! I think I’d break my neck in those shoes though, but they are pretty!

81 gennie { 09.22.09 at 8:17 pm }

hey looks like you had a great time in NY! cupcakes + pizza sounds right up my alley ;) I love your harness btw – I made one for myself and I wear it all the time!
