the right answer.

being that i'm only 5'-2" (5'-3" on my driver's license),

i will wear heels wherever and whenever possible.

and, if the world were a sex and the city movie set, i'd happily run around in shorts and high heels as carrie did.

unfortunately, it's not, and certain occasions call for something a bit more casual. when oxfords hit the blogosphere, i thought they would be my answer to a casually chic shoe. i set out to find a pair only to find them too pointy, too rounded, too manly, too...too...flat.

it was casual, it was chic, and most importantly, it had height.

they didn't have my size, of course, so i scoured the internet for the next best option and found these on ebay.

this weekend, i also lucked out at this cute little

vintage-thrift shop called, sugarcane.

i found this amazing ring and a vintage horse-print dress!

the ring is missing many stones,

but it was my size and i couldn't pass it up.

the dress wasn't my size, but i couldn't pass it up either.
