Seriously these are not fair! Aquazzura has completely outdone himself this resort season. The primary color palette is refreshing, chic, visually stunning, and subtly sexy. I've had my good eye on these bad boys since November. I promised myself I wouldn't buy any thing in 2016 - personal challenge - but mama has no idea if she can resist!
Snag 'em at Bergdorf Goodman.
Shoe Damage: $695

Hey lovas, its the time of the year again. Time to decide if you should treat yaself and not cheat yaself OR be a good soul and share a little love with your friends and family. Since we literally have 23 days left until Christmas Eve, I've decided to help you all out a bit with the FTBUP Gift Guide.
Some things are on the affordable tip and well, some are 'investments,' but no matter what, you can use this list as a guide, a baseline for ideas to check things off your last minute shopping list.
Here we go...

Giambattista Valli Party Pumps - Shoescribe.com
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.
