Some people work to cure cancer, others are fighting the war on poverty. Me? My selfless act is to help people spend money on stuff they need, like clothes and bags and makeup and, of course, killer shoes. But, that's not all. I like to eat. And complain (most specifically about how hard it is to be a mom). Oh, and obsess over the next perfect pair of shoes.

Friday Shoe Haiku — Splurge v. Steal
Can you tell the diff?
For sure at the register.
I'll take the cheapie.
Shoe n' Tell: My eagle-eyed friend spotted these strappy "Pilar" wedges on Target.com and told me I needed the pink pair. How well she knows me. Several times I'd nearly purchased a more expensive Dolce Vita version (yes, in pink), but I just couldn't pull the trigger. They were pricey, reviews said sizing was tricky. Too iffy of a purchase for that much money.
OK, so the top photo is from Saks and the real Dolce Vita "Pela" wedges. Sticker price: $170.
The bottom photo is Mossimo's non-leather version. Yeah, it costs $30. Guess which pair I'm gonna get.

Haha, great minds must think alike because I recently ordered the brown pair from Target! I am returning mine though and advise you to try them on first if you can - the straps on the pair I received were so ridiculously wide and there was no way to adjust them! I am hoping my pair was just flawed somehow and you have better luck - I too, have been eyeing the Dolce Vitas since last summer!
I have high hopes for these, they look amazing. And the pink is perfect for you.
