Fall is around the corner and I'm rounding up shoes to update my wardrobe. Top of my wishlist are a couple of Loeffler Randall lovelies:
Blush beauties: Zuri Rosette Stiletto - satin and tulle.
Warm up your look this season with these of-the-moment crimson pieces. A woolly jacket, candy-apple red mini bag, or sexy shoe bootie are sure to chase the chills away.
Keep your neck cozy with the oversized collar on this cropped, bracelet sleeve jacket, done up in a pretty plaid. What Goes Around Comes Around Rosario Jacket, $475.
Longtime readers may recall that back in '08, I scoured the far reaches of the internet for Loeffler Randall's Matilde rain boots, to no avail. I'm happy to report that after two years of waiting for a reissue, they're finally miiiiine! I spent damn near half an hour debating the merits of black vs. olive before eventually deciding on the noir slickers. It's a pity they weren't here for yesterday's epic mid-afternoon deluge, but I'm sure I'll have plenty of opportunities for splashing about with them this fall. If they turn out to be everything I hoped for and more, I'm going back for the olive, with the excuse that I've not once bought a pair of rain boots simply because I couldn't find a pair I liked.
UPDATE: Apparently, Active Endeavors has long been dead. Boo!
UPDATE 2: Aaaand we're live! If you don't live near a Neiman's, both the rain boots and booties are now available through Loeffler Randall's website in black, army green, and taupe. They won't ship out til 9/8, so if you were hoping to dodge the hurricane in style, you're out of luck. Also note that they're only available in full sizes, and although they recommend ordering a size up if you're a half size like me, my black pair is a bit too roomy in an 8, so I ordered a 7 in army.
UPDATE 3: The army ended up making me look a bit like a sanitation worker (as my bf so helpfully pointed out) so I'll be exchanging them for a pair of the booties.
Loeffler Randall Matilde Rain Boot, $195. Available in black, olive, and yellow.
Calling size 7's and 9.5's, if you've been covetously eyeing Loeffler Randall's Honey Perforated Booties on the feet of stylish passersby around town as I have, now's your chance to score them for more than 50% off (I'd do the math, but at two days in, it's already been a long week and my brain is short circuiting). The aforementioned sizes are on sale at Zoe for $220 (originally $550) and they look so great on that it'd be a shame to let them slip by.
Remarkably, these adorable red Loeffler Randall cutout shoesies have somehow found their way to the 70% off clearance section at Shopbop. Not so remarkably, they seem to be available in just about every size but my own. I can only gaze covetously at them while cursing my size 7 1/2 feet for not being a bit smaller or just a shade bigger. At this price, it's tempting to go for the 8 and hope for the best, but LRs run pretty true to size and I've learned from past experiences that an oversized slingback is bound to be a pain. Plus, the final sale rules prohibit returns in case we don't work out.
If you're a 6, 8, 9, 10 or 10.5, they're yours for the taking. Loeffler Randall Ella Cutout Suede Heels, now $127.50 (originally $425).
While the NYC Marathon happened but a few days ago, my favorite DUMBO boutique Zoe is hosting a run of a different sort. Their 24-hour Sprint Sale on select fall merchandise is on now, both in store and online. Ladies can snag 30% off on goods from the likes of Rachel Comey, Loeffler Randall, and Elizabeth and James, while dudes can save on select John Varvatos pieces. For the complete list of sale items, click here. It ends at 9AM tomorrow morning, so hurry, hurry.
