Since last week when the calendar turned to 5770, I have been meaning to post.  Despite the intention to post more frequently (what is it about a new year that inspires one so much more than the new days that we wake up to so much more frequently?), I’ve been having a hard time getting back in the game.

Just before I left the studio this evening, I turned the page on my mini wall calendar.   When I saw the gorgeous Roger Vivier satin evening shoe covered in hummingbird feathers shimmering for October, I knew right away that would be the simple post that would be quick and easy and not take a lot on my part.

I love the slant of the heel, and the shape of the negative space created between it and the foot-bed.   So very glamorous.  And feathers!  Blue Feathers!  The shoe reminded me of the beautiful feathers that Martha posted images of here.

Because Roger shares the same name with my girl Clare, and because the Costume Institute also included shoes by Herbert Levine in this calendar, I have thought about making a shoe post all year!  I’m feeling rather pleased with myself that I didn’t wait until the absolute last minute (as per my usual character) to do this.  Here is one of the H.L. shoes from the calendar 

 There was also a really cute bootie that I almost showed, but since I’m not wanting to put away the sandals yet, this one was appealing.  The indulgence of the loopy structure make me think of cocktails, card games and Miami.

Wishing everyone health and happiness in the year ahead!
