I was first convinced to buy Crocs in Japan. I spotted fly Japanese girls wearing ballet shoe Crocs and working them like no one's business. Coupled with my aching tourist feet, I hunted down a Crocs display and walked away, cushioned on air. While you won't see them in this post, rest assured, behind every sky-high wedge, every pointed and buckled stiletto, there's a good Croc. Because without them, I'd still be on the riverbed, stranded with a turned ankle, swatting sandflies from my face. Lovelies, share your secret shoe shame with me!

I alllways carry a pair of Havianas in my bag when I go out in heels. My dream is one day, somehow, be less of a wimp and be able to make it ONE NIGHT without needing to switch for the walk home.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I have never considered Crocs (in fact, I've derided croc-wearers), but if someone as fashionable as you gives them a go- I'm convinced. I would actually love to see an outfit with them because I bet you rock them out!
ReplyDeletehaha, i own a pair of crocs, from my days as a rower. they're not the ballet slipper ones, they're hte straight up ugly ones.
ReplyDeletethese pics are so cute!
The wedges are so fun. I don't wear shoes I am ashamed of...but I am ashamed to admit I totally abuse my feet and wear the wrong size all the time!
ReplyDeleteThe ballet style Crocs are definitely cute. Can't deny their comfort factor either. I don't own a pair, but my mum has the mary jane style and I'll slip 'em on from time to time. I can't confess to a secret shoe shame per se, but I do have a pair of electric blue Saucony sneakers that always bring forth stares & comments when I wear them :)
ReplyDeleteYou look so incredibly lovely!
you ARE so beautiful. I love this video! I really want to make myself a video but I cannot find my video camera. I think your style is so wonderful too. I love the skirt especially! Hope you're day is kind. Love always !!

fabulous photos--that location seems so perfectly serene.
ReplyDeleteMy SSS? Hmm...If I told you, I'd have to kill you (but yours doesn't seem so bad!!) :-)
I hate Crocs, but the other day i saw this lady who was wearing what seemed like a cool style of Crocs. I couldn't believe i was considering if they were cute or not. I bet they're are super comfortable though :)
ReplyDeletexoxo
Ah I have ratty tatty old slippers (remember the mesh ones with the sequins over them that were all the rage about 5 years ago?).. yeah I stomp around in those while trekking to some highly inaccessible spot for our photo sessions :o)
ReplyDeleteHope you have been well! I've been disappearing on and off now because of the erratic going ons of university... I am so jealous you are able to post all these lovely images on almost a daily basis!
Ahh well I guess you can't wear crippling shoes all the time! Plus ballet crocs are a set up from normal ones.
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely in this outfit
nooooo not crocs! :/
ReplyDeleteI do Birkenstock when I need comfy footwear
These are beautiful beautiful shots!
ReplyDeleteHaha sadly, I have no interesting shoe shames to date. I love the places you go, they're all so beautiful.
ReplyDelete+ that vimeo vid is so brilliant.
love, China L.
oh no, i can never live with crocs .
ReplyDeletebuuuut i am wearing hello kitty socks and monkey print slippers as we speak, so i should be ashamed too ;]

I am in love with that daisy necklace! And yeah, I've been known to wear Crocs. They're so crazy comfortable. I'm on my feet at work all day, and they definitely make it a tiny bit more bearable.
ReplyDeleteOh! Ur shirt is adorable, and so are ur earrings! Definitely lovely! :)
ReplyDeletesuch gorgeous scenery . . .
ReplyDeletelove your outfit.
LOVE that video! So cute! And yes; I know what you mean! Crocs has got REALLY comfy ballet flats; I ALMOST got them the other day! HAHA! As for me; I guess, my SSS, would be; my dirty pair of lime green Keds; they're just so so comfy; but I've given up on wearing them! They just look so preppish in my shoe closet! HAHA!
ReplyDeletePS/ I suggest that you delete that comment with the whole chunk of Chinese words; it's promoting porno:S *HORRID PEOPLE!*
I always hated Crocs but have heard they are actually the most comfortable shoe ever! And actually, the new pump style ones are very discreet.. only the most vigilant would realise
ReplyDeleteI have some big stomping biker boots, too butch to be cool but great for rain and general bad weather!
xx
I actually really hate crocs.. And lately I've seen crocs mixed with uggs. Horrible. But my shoe shame is a white low heeled sandal with 3 big fake diamonts on it...I can't believe I really wore those haha. But now about your outfit! It's so lovely! You really look good in it
