Hey lovas, its been a while since the last post, but trust the crew at FTBUP {AKA MOI} is working on few things to keep you shoetained! Continue to stay tuned and check out the site. But enough of that, lets get to the point because its PAHTY time.

As the year draws to a close and the holiday season quickly approaches, soireés and fetes will be in abundance. From office parties to happy hours to intimate gatherings with friends, your social calendar should be full of joy. 

And to keep you in tip toe shape, here's my hit list of the funnest - I make up words - shoes of that should keep you dancing {or tipping} all night long. 

The Jimmy Choo's are simply divine. For the woman that wants to make a statement, here's your answer dolls. And you can have them for a whopping $1,500 from Bergdorf Goodman. Consider it an investment and wear them at EH-VERY party! #CostPerWears gyals. 

Be the star in the room in these studded Charlotte Olympia platform pumps. Pair it with some leather culottes and a chic blouse et voila belle of the happy hour! Own 'em for $895 and throw 'em in your shopping bag

Be mistaken for Santa's little helper in these of the moment and not even on purpose, on trend Miu Miu slingbacks - whew! Considering the heel is stacked AND short, I highly doubt you'll need to shoe swap at the end of the night. Treat yourself to an early Christmas present {and maybe you're only present} for $790 at NETAPORTER.

Here's a little shimmy shimmy yum yum for your feet. These delicious fringe happy sandals from Topshop will keep the party going all night long. For $90 bucks, they simply can't be beat! 

Go from day to night in these crushed velvet bow flats from Nine West. At $79, I'd probably buy two pairs {they come in grey and black patent leather - yippee}.

ASOS never lets me down. Get into the spirit with a little faux fur action by Australian super brand Senso. Spice these up with a body hugging sweater dress or rock 'em with a pair of cute jeans and a blazer. Either way you do it, you're winning. Damage: $285.

Understated glam is always the right choice. Dorothy don't know nothing about the click of the rose gold heel hunty. Personally I'd get dressed in all black like the omen and then POP turnaround, kick my heels and turn the mutha out! Proenza Schouler on FarFetch $745.

Be prepared for the bitter nights with these knee-high Jeffrey Campbell boots. The lucite heel adds a some pizazz and take these from being plain to be plain ol' fun. Damage: $180

ASOS for the win one more time with these festive flats for a mere $63. They're called the Merry flats, I mean does it get any better than that? I don't think, lets just end it right there. 

I saved the best for last because a girl loves to dream. This Gucci bow-up, round-toe, stacked heel is LIFE. I have nothing else to say. Catch me somewhere in New York on the corner getting my coin so I can have these in my closet. #dontjudge ;). Bergdorf Goodman I'll see you soon. Oh and they're approx. $2,400.

Happy Holiday Shoe Shopping dolls.

Best of the Web: Euro Edition

A few weeks ago I brought you the Best of the Web: Shoe Shopping edition and this time around I'm bringing you my top five euro based sites that have it all. I'm talking unique, exclusive and sometimes hard to find pieces available on a regular basis and all at the push of a button!

These sites have been my best kept secret for quite sometime, but now I share it with you. Enjoy....

1. Farfetch: with its ever growing popularity in the states, Farfetch isn't that far fetched anymore. I've been perusing and shopping the site for over 5 years. Always have great finds and their Rick Owens collection is to die for. 

2. Harvey Nichols: another no longer so top secret site on my list. You can always find great YSL pieces, fantastic accessories and even better cosmetic options. They also have a great newsletter, which If I were you I'd sign up for right away and lastly, they just opened up Shoe Heaven - a floor completely dedicated to the best part of the outfit! This will be my first stop when I finally get to Londontown.

3. Mytheresa: a fiercely edited site boasting a damn near perfect collection of Chloe and Isabel Marant that never lets you down. The sales are great and what I love most is the thought that has gone into creating lookbooks for inspiration. Not only are you able to shop, but you're able to dream while doing it!

4. Luisa Via Roma: this Italian gem showcases the best fashion has to offer. The site curators understand how-to combine high fashion with street style with the selection they choose to sell. As a brand, the site owners host a biannual #Firenze4ever Bloggers conference in Florence which gets pretty intense as blogger invitees put together looks from pieces that are sold on the site. Love that! Need to get my butt there so show 'em how to build a look From The Bottom Up! p.s. the site is currently hosting an up 70% sale NOW.

5. Ekseption: My favorite of all is this Spanish gem that has a very selection selection of pieces that range from Mary Katrantzou to Dries Van Noten. A couple of years ago, I found the Charlotte Olympia Isla palm leaf sandal on sale and of course in my size! They have had my heart ever since. 

There are tons more, but these top my list as I frequent them the most. Check 'em out during some down time and I probably shouldn't say this, but GET HOOKED AND BUY SOMETHING. 

Ciao lovas
