From Russia With Love





I'm in love with these Chanel wedges from the Paris-Moscou collection!

Thanks to Dream Sequins for her lovely "Circle of Friendship" blog award! I'm so honored! Stay tuned for blog awards (so overdue) and an account of a recent blogger meet-up with two of my favorite new friends!

These beautiful shoes I got to see up close and personal YESTERDAY! And they're really, really my kind of footwear...from the artsy design, the gold tone, and those tall wedges! I was trying not to stare down at your shoes after all it was our first meeting. haha!

Lynn said...

i couldn't see the details of the shoes when me met as i was not wearing any glasses. looking at them now, they are gorgeous! i imagine they would look good with tights for fall as well.

you went shopping in chanel, huh? ;)

talk to you soon!

Marian said...

phi-style said...

fabulous details! I love the brocade-like patterns.

cocktailoffashion said...

oh wow, these are such gorgeous shoes! I agree with Lynn that you can actually wear them with tights in Autumn.

So i hear you are meeting up with Hanh and Nini, that should be so nice! I am looking forward to seeing the wonderful photos :)

Have a great evening!!

I think Paris-Moscou is my favorite Chanel collection thus far! I love the hand beaded bags!!! Man, I need to get one of those! Love how unique the shoes are! They have a little Prada touch, don't you think?

Style Spy: It's lazer-cut leather. Amazing, eh?

Just Eileen: There's a gold bag version with the same pattern. It's a classic 2.55 bag with an added charm (a cage with a pearl egg in it). It's stunning. Too bad I don't have loads of cash lying around or I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Thanks for the sweet comments, everybody!

Nika said...

beautiful shoes!

rachel said...

love those shoes and they look really comfortable! could i ask your advice about something? i have a great shoshanna summer dress that can easily be worn in the fall with some tights, but it's navy blue and i've always been indecisive about what colors to wear with navy blue, brown tights and shoes? monochromatic navy? black? other? you have great style, what would you wear with a simply cut short sleeved navy blue shift dress? it's rather short on me (3-4 inches above the knee, i'm really tall). any advice welcome! thank you!

Thumbelina Fashionista said...

Rachel: I think navy OR brown tights would work, but black would too. Does this dress have a subtle pattern or any other details (buttons, belt?) to play off of? Navy would look sleek, brown interesting, and black (perhaps even sheer black polka dots) would be edgy or fun. The other thing is the shoes. I like the shoes to match the tights to give a elongated look, but I usually avoid wearing one color head to toe. Personally I would wear black tights with black pumps. But there are a lot of great tight options out there--sequined or herringbone, for example, that would work too! Hope this long winded comment helps!

dot said...

Wow, Thummie, those are so so so gorgeous! Like jewels on your feet! ; )

rachel said...

hey thumbelina! thank you so much for your awesome advice - the more long-winded the better! it does have a cool diamond pattern in gold running across the top of the dress, but i could not do gold tights, just wouldn't happen. also has a navy cloth belt that came with the dress, gold buckle. i like your instinct to wear black, and i have a pair of ferragamo black pumps with gold (and a tiny bit of white) detail. i also don't like to contrast color of shoe with tights, it works for some people, but i find it at odd place to do so. what i really need are booties, wish i could afford one of the cute pairs you mentioned a while ago... maybe soon :)

Jennifer Fabulous said...

Gorgeous shoes! They are breathtaking. :)

Thumbelina Fashionista said...

Rachel: So glad this advice helps. Yes, those gold/black Ferragamos sound perfect with that dress. You can play up the gold by wearing one large gold necklace (or cuff) too!

those shoes are a work of art. they are AMAZING.

Tiffany Ling Tse said...

LOVE them!!!! They're so outstanding and ornate. Your pretty pedicure goes so well with the gold/black colors!

rachel said...

ooooohh..gold cuff. that sounds awesome :) thank you!

Christina said...

Hihi! :) Thank you for the lovely comment on my blog! Since it's summer I keep trying to go on adventures...or rather misadventures in my case haha.

I love the UO dress! I bought it and then it went on sale for like 10 bucks!

YAY I shall add you on mine! I'm honored!
