Remember when I got those adorable Y.R.U. Lowf flats with the crossbones on the toes back in August?

 

Solestruck teamed up with Y.R.U. and created a custom picture on the toes that… isn’t for the …faint of heart…

 

FU is embroidered on the toe one shoe and CK is embroidered on the other…. You do the math ;)

These are in the same style as the Lowfs with the crossbones and the cat faces that have already been released, they just have a new design on them. So if you own previous versions, you should know what size to get.
For those who haven’t tried these on, order your normal sizes in men’s. I’m normally a men’s 10.5 but I have these in a 10 (since they don’t do have sizes). I wish they did. I would like a wee bit more room, but I know that a men’s 11 would be flopping off my foot. So take that into consideration.

 

Solestruck has these on preorder so they won’t arrive very soon. I can’t wait for all the funny looks and double takes I’m going to get when people see my feet. (not like i don’t get them already).

For only $60, these are a great steal!

Now, don’t everyone pee your pants at once, BUT….. Barefoot Tess is hooking us up with Jeffrey Campbell Litas in 2 NEW COLORS!!!

AND they’re fun styles, not just basics like black, blue, etc.

 

We have the OIL SPILL (holyfucki’mdyingineedthesesofreakingbadhalpme!)

and the Lita Daisy in Silver WITH a clear Lucite heel (cute!).

You can already tell which style I’m more excited about *cough*OILSPILL*cough*…
The daisy is super cute, but TOO cute for me. I don’t have anything to wear with them. HOWEVER, if it was a solid silver with no flowers I’d be on that bitch quicker than a fly on poo (terrible analogy, but true). I can never have enough shoes that make me look like a super hero… or super villain.

 

Before everyone freaks out, these ARE NOT available for sale JUST YET.  You can see pics of these, and other new styles, in BFT’s “coming soon” section. You can also send a note to preorder@BarefootTess.com to preorder / put your name on the reminder list for when these do become available to buy.

I SUGGEST YOU SIGN UP. Cause I’m gettin’ those oil spill Litas and NO ONE will stop me!!! *breathe*

 

hehehe… enjoy your weekend ;)

 

My new baby has arrived!! ….the Alexander Wang Jena Clutch

HA! tricked ya, didn’t I? No real human babies for me; just shoe babies and purse babies in this household ;)

 

Soon after I posted my obsession about the Alexander Wang Jena Clutch I received an email from an eBay seller (in England) asking if I was still interested in this particular bag.

 

 

She had it listed on eBay 2 weeks prior and suddenly removed the auction (awkward…). I emailed her asking about it but she didn’t tell me why she removed the listing. I suspect she realized how much money she would lose in fees to eBay and Paypal after the item ended. So I have her the benefit of the doubt and asked if I could still buy it from her. We haggled back n forth but she wouldn’t accept my lower offer.

 

Fast forward to the week of April 15th and the same woman emails me if I would buy it for $250 (shipping included)! Suddenly I wasn’t mentally prepared to drop that much on a bag that I didn’t really need. But panic set in and I realized I probably wouldn’t have a chance like this for a really long time. So YOLO! kicked in and I waved good by to my money and waited for my package from London.

It’s sooo lush guys. It’s super nicely made and can fit soooo much stuff. I don’t even think I carry around enough to equal out the size of the bag, lol. The picture with my iPhone next to the bag is to show scale.

In these two pics I have a pair of leggings and a shirt stuffed inside the bag and it’s NOT even full!

Hopefully this recent buy will curb my thirst for new bags and I can focus back on shoes….hopefully…

ElevenUp Releases their Spring 2013 collection!

Remember a back in December when I featured the shoe store ElevenUp Shoes?

 

If you don’t follow them on FaceBook by now (and you should), you wouldn’t know about their big news; the release of their own Spring 2013 collection!

 

They have 6 different styles for you this season:

  • Chloe (in Black & Tan) – $125
  • Porche (in Pink & Orange) – $120
  • Susie (in Black & Tan) – $105
  • Yvonne (in Pink & Tan) – $135
  • Stacy (in Pink & Orange) – $130
  • Kendra (in Black & Pink) – $125

 

All styles are available in a size 11 to 14. I love that they give a fit review of each shoe. It looks like a few pairs might run small, so pay attention before hitting the buy button.  These styles can’t be found anywhere else!

 

The color palette chosen for this collection is really versatile. Black and tan for more of an every day look and pink and orange for spring and summer. It has those bright pops of color that are really trending for spring right now, but they’re a great color you can wear in summer and even into fall, just to brighten up an outfit.

 

While this collection isn’t truely MY style, there were 3 pairs that I found super cute. (You know me! I have to look like a spooky witch practically 24/7 ;) )

My favorites are Yvonne,

Yvonne_-_Pink_2_large

Stacey,

Stacy_-_Orange_2_large

and Kendra

Kendra_-_Black_2_large

 

Go check out the new collection and let’s continue to support our big footed retailers!

Jeffrey Campbell – Don’t (Cap Toe)

By on April 26, 2013

I have yet to jump on the cap toe shoe bandwagon until this week. Believe me, I’ve wanted to. But nothing looked appealing or it didn’t fit.

 

I’ve seen different versions of the JC Don’t being sold but I didn’t start paying attention to the reviews until recently. People were saying that they fit big!
There’s the Don’t (which I have), the Don’t Even (which is similar but has a small platform in the footbed), the Don’t Care which has a chunky  heel (more like a bootie), and the Don’t Even Ask (a knee-high gladiator pump).

Don't Comparisson

 

 

Size 11s of the Don’t Even were sold out everywhere so I settled on the Don’t from ShopBop. These come in black and white, AND both are still available in 11s right now.

The reviews were right. These fit a size big! I think it might have to do with the pointed toe (though that isn’t always the case).

These are super cute and sexy! I feel like they don’t really make my feel look any longer just because they have a pointed toe, that’s just to be expected. The leather is super soft too. However, these aren’t going to be dancing shoes. I wish they had that little platform like the Don’t Evens (seen in the previous picture). They would give you a bit more cushioning.

For having a 4.5″ heel they don’t feel that steep. Maybe I’m just getting use to higher and higher heels, lol.

The ankle strap makes my foot feel super secure. Think of them as a sling black, which they pretty much are.
