Zara Kitten Heel Shoes with Bow ($70)

I don’t like bows.  More to the point, I don’t like the flimsy bows they sometimes put on ballet flats or the ostentatious Christmas-package bows that they put on high heels.  But I do like sleek bows with clean lines, like the bow on the shoe above.

I also like the look of kitten heels.  They can be worn under trousers as an alternative to heels or flat, and I like the vintage look of kitten heels with a pencil skirt.  I like the chic embellishments on these DKNY heels (good for daytime or evening), and these black and white snakeskin-like heels from Topshop.

Need something under-$50?  I found these black patent kitten heels from Target and these D’orsay-style kitten heels.

    I don’t like the flimsy string bows on ballet flats either- I think they look silly and cheap. I found these https://www.6pm.com/ivanka-trump-walker-new-nocciola-mc-beige-soho that are similar to the Zara pair too!

    is the fabric on the zara shoes too satin-y for work? I can’t tell if they’re shiny or not. Love the structure though.

    Kate Spade does some nice, simple bows sometimes. I love their Lilia Heels, although I can’t afford them!

Beauty Review: Bondi Boost

As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.
