Shopaholism Strikes Again

I blame my sister.  After pulling double-shift I arrived home with diminished resistance to all things shiny and she showed me the most beautiful shoes, on sale for 53% off on Haute Look (if you don't already know about Haute Look you should).  Now normally I don't buy shoes online because you can't try them on and that's important.  However, as luck would have it sister dearest has some boots by Pour La Victoire (the brand in question), so I was able to try them on and determine my size.  Between that and my general addiction to flats - which I really do spend my life in - there was no chance I could say no.  Plus, I can wear them to work in Germany, so it's totally practical....  So, in a few weeks' time (maybe a month, their shipping takes FOREVER), I'll be the proud owner of these beauties:

 

SO EXCITED.

Crippling Addiction

I have a confession to make, dear readers.  You are already aware of my total weakness for nail polish, but I must admit I have another weakness: shoes.  I am a terrible shoe-a-holic, and this weekend I totally caved (yet again) and bought new shoes.  Now in my defense I was shopping with my mother, a notorious enabler of this weakness of mine, and the shoes were from Michael Kors' MICHAEL line, and he just makes beautiful things always.  If anyone from Michael Kors ever reads this, please reciprocate my love and send me something free (my shoe size is 7.5).

Anyway, the shoes I bought are peep-toe espadrille wedges in an off-white colour with silver and caramel leather accents.  They're wonderfully comfortable and espadrilles are an on-trend item for this summer, but I confess when I brought them home (after one of those gut-wrenching impulse buys) I was stumped as to how to wear them.  Jeans (obviously), floral dresses (yes), army green (interesting), but what else?  Anyway, usually I can find answers to these questions by prowling celebrity street style or checking my favourite fashion websites/blogs, but this time I had no such luck!  So, I figured I'd pose the question to all of you and see if anyone had any interesting ideas.  Below are the new shoes, and I encourage you to share any thoughts you have of how to style them!
