paradigm shift
If I were to ever admit to label whoredom, the list would start and end at Marc Jacobs/Gucci in a tie. However, in an unfortunate and somewhat expensive turn of events, Chloe has kinda managed to inch its way onto my purposely-limited, super-exclusive list.

The Paddington boot was my first true obsession last Fall/Winter – presently, I just know that they're eagerly biding time in their sleeper bags, anticipating the first even slightly chilly day of Fall, when they'll spring back into fashion action. Then the adorable dresses that made love dresses again (shout out to the black and cream silk shift that I am still dying to own) and the aforementioned brocade platforms.

I hate that Chloe has forced me to re-examine my long-held, deeply engrained belief system of an unshakeable, binary hierarchy. I hate that the only fashion rule I believe in – "No White Shoes Ever."- has been completely obliterated with not one, but two different shoes in the same season.

I love these shoes. I love them even more now that they're on sale.
