Logo Loco

Admit it guys, you own at least one monogrammed shoe.  I perfectly remember, seven years ago when Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Fendi, and all other expensive brands logo showing off on almost every known thing wearable. It was a fad and a symbol of a certain social status.  I admit to owning a Fendi monogrammed mule that I wear almost everyday in the office.  After almost ten years, monogrammed and designer logo showing things are making a silent come back in the world of shoes.

Tory Burch 'Heart' ballet flat

I heart this shoe!  I really do!  Even if I don't wear flats too often (not at all), I might consider slipping into this.  The color is perfect and the studs balance the femininity of the shoe.  By the way, I tried some flats in the mall the other day and if I saw this in the racks, it will definitely be a purchase.  This cute little thing is also available in pink and you can buy them both at Tory Burch.

Tory Burch 'Antonia' ornament sandal

Oh, how I love the summer!  Isn't it obvious?  I've been featuring shoes that are vibrant just like the colors of summer the past few days and you couldn't blame me because the happiest shoe designs appear during spring or summer.  It is scorching hot here in the Philippines and what better way to perk up my mood is to wear happy and comfortable things like this sandal from Tory Burch.  This would look great with maxi dresses or shorts.  Better have a foot spa and pedicure before wearing this so as not to distract the simple beauty of the sandal with ugly feet... and while you are scheduling your spa visit, you can now order this at Bergdorf Goodman.
