specific heights

Dress: H&M. Belt: Topshop (bought yrs ago). Shoes: Jessica Simpson. Shades: Urban Outfitters. Cycling shorts: (unseen). Stone ring: YSL. Gold bang: LowLuv/Erin Wasson courtesy of Tobi. Cuff: London street vendor (Notting Hill market). Nail pendant: Courtesy of Fashionology. Long pendant & fringe bag: Foley & Corinna vintage.
A few days ago I went to dinner and gave the JS heels a whirl (took quick pics outdoors first). These buggers are so flipping high but the platform does make them comfortable.
Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't do a cart wheel in them, but for pavement stomp factor - they work.
I think this is the first time I've shown me wearing them outdoors. Last time I posted them was here.
ps. I'm digging around at home for my receipt for the boots below. I bought them on clearance and the price got slashed again. Arrghhh! I need a price adjustment but where is the bloody receipt???

  27. WOW both of you for such amazing shots, yet again! Great editing too. Michael seems to feel you perfectly well, and when to capture this exact step or moment. Just curious, how many photos do u guys take in average for every post?

    oh and the outfit is of course beautiful, the color of the sandals looks great on you and prolongs your legs (yes I'm obsessed with legs hahaha))))) x

  52. Karen, you gave me a great idea!!! I have a skirt that I bought a year or two ago and have yet to wear it because it is sheer. I thought a slip would look ridiculous (it is on the long side) so perhaps bike shorts are the answer. Now I just have to figure out where I last saw some pink bike shorts. Hopefully, I can rock it half as well as you do.

    I love everything about this outfit. How you mixed the black and tan, those ridiculously high platform shoes, your long silver necklaces, everything. Love!!!

  55. Milles - thanks for commenting! I know most don't so it's nice to see you : )

    The Little Black List - yes I post edited the look of the pics to take down the vibrancy.

    Ashley - you'll love them. They take getting used to.

    In3gue - arounnd 300 or so? We shoot on continuous speed so the camera constantly takes shots while I just move around.

    xJole - those were the two main reasons I took it (and length)

    Studded Hearts - thx flowy and chunky heels go together : ))

    thx to everyone for your comments...!! not your run around heels but for going out they are perfect.

  61. IN3gue - ha ha!! Takes alot of pics though to find ones that you like kwim?

    Catherine - no luck I can't find the receipt. Oh well - at least I got them for half price and not FULL!

    Daria - hello stranger ; ))You do? I remember vaguely us talking about them but I didn't think you liked them enough to pull the trigger. Oh and of course about the dress. It's Brokeback. The dress is now gone from the H&M when I went back recently.
