Stuart Weitzman Logoplainfield Peep Toe Heels

So you all know that I was on the hunt for the shoes for my brothers wedding. Between L and my mom (note the bride didn't care) I relented to look for a pair of heels to wear for the ceremony before changing in to my brand new flats. Yes, I did pick up the Kate Spade Tock flats in blush. I freaking love them. They were super comfortable and between the four pair of shoes I ordered from Holt Renfrew they were the clear winner.

So anyways, I go into Browns (first mistake) and grudgingly try on a pair of nude heels for a very reasonable $90. They did not fit at all even though the heel was fairly comfortable and the sales associate brought these out (in nude patent leather, not black, just cant find nude ones online):

They are actually really comfortable, and I think I would get a lot of wear out of them. The problem? After taxes, I am looking at $400 for them. So now I am stuck. I can hope and pray I can track these down on sale (which will be interesting since even on the Browns website they are only available in black), or I can drive myself insane trying to find SOMETHING as comfortable that I like as much or I can suck it up and spend double my budget on them.

What to do.........

EDIT: I have been told that action shots are needed of the ACTUAL shoes:

Nail Of The Day - Lippmann Maniac & She Drives Me Crazy

Totally loving this manicure (had it on for an entire 3 days so far and still not ready to take it off) and thought I would share it with you all! Not a bit of tip wear yet and totally happy staring at it!

Marc Jacobs Beauty Summer 2014 Collection

Marc Jacobs Beauty for summer 2014 is a bright collection that looks like it just came out of a crayola crayon add. Bright primary shades make the palette look gorgeous (though not something I personally would wear) and if the formula is anything like that of the Lolita palette it will be a must get for anyone who loves brights!

• Style Eye-Con No.7y Plush Shadow Palette in 210 The Siren 
• Highliner Gel Eye Crayon in 9 new shades - 98 (stone)Fox , 68 (Wave)Length, 56 O(Vert), 62 Ody(Sea), 60 (Plum)Age, 64 (Luna)Tic, 66 Obey-Ge, 70 Mari(Gold) and 54 Brown(Out) 
• Enamored Hi-Shine Nail Lacquer in 152 Bark!, 154 Jungle and 156 New Wave
• Shameless Bold Blush in 220 Shameless

Now I was slightly disappointed when I saw the polishes in person because they are just not this bright or vibrant. I did pick up the green one and will post the swatches and review in the next day or two!

Chanel Polishes For Fall 2014 in Orage, Atmosphere & Secret

So I found this sneaky little photo of the fall polishes and OMG do I need Atmosphere! But I tracked down the blog author and it seems she has all sorts of shots of the fall line so check them out HERE! These are for fall 2014 and will be in Japan, so I assume since we are also not the American Chanel we too will get these! Oh I hope so!!!

New Gosh Forever Eye Shadow Metallic Eye Shadow Sticks

Now I found these in one store, swatched them, was GOING to pick them up, got a phone all that made me stop dead in my tracks, ran off to deal with what I had to deal with and now I can't remember which location I found them in! I really did love these and will pick them up as soon as I find them again!

Illamasqua Nomad - Swatched

This is said to be a "bright jade" according to Illamasqua. Its kind of like a bright neon mint green with an aqua or teal leaning quality to it. I have no idea why it took me so long to finally pick this shade up but its a great summer colour! The formula is that of classic Illamasqua. Thick, but not too thick. opaque in almost one coat, and buttery smooth. LOVE IT!

Raw Sugar Collection For Bobbi Brown Summer 2014

The new Bobbi Brown Summer collection is out, and while the tinted lip balms look interesting, I must say overall this just seems so....... done already by the brand. I am not quite sure what I was hoping for expecting, maybe its because I am not so much a fan of the shimmer bricks and this palette is one big shimmer brick? I know its for the eyes and not the face, but I just want to yawn when I see this. Sigh.......

What do you guys think? Do you love anything? Did you get anything? Want anything? Or are you simply like me and not feeling this?

Koh Bahama! Swatched

I am really digging this metallic purple with an almost grey/blue duochrome affect. The shimmer  is soinsane and vibrant that it really does kind of give it that look of a duochrome!

It is a little streaky and hard to work with, but oh so worth it!
