I’ve been a very well-behaved shoe snob this year, just narrowing it down to a few pairs I absolutely love and know I’ll wear often throughout the season, instead of pouncing on every pretty shoe I see. It takes a lot of restraint, trust me. It also requires planning. After weeks of debate and counsel with our in-house shoe snob counsel, Sasha Charnin Morrison, I narrowed my choices down to Valentino’s eclectic studded wedges in brown and Prada’s sickeningly amazing gold-braided platforms. One casual, with mixed materials to keep things interesting, and one fancy, since I realized it was time to give my feet the Midas touch. What else does a girl need for a summer in Europe and Asia?!

I’m on the plane right now (love blogging from 30,000 feet up in the air!) and the minute I land I will head to Bergdorf Goodman to pick up my shoes from Eddie, my trusted SA in Bergdorf’s fabulous shoe department.

Prada Metallic Braided Strappy Sandal At Bergdorf Goodman for $990.

Valentino Studded T-Strap Espadrille At Bergdorf Goodman for $695.
