My birthday is next weekend and I decided that these shoes are the only way to proper ring in my 26th year.
I have no idea what I will wear them with (or better yet, where I will wear them other than my kitchen and Whole Foods), but they are a shoe fit for a 26 year old…and that soon will be me.
A huge thank you to Susan for kindly emailing me this morning and telling me they went on clearance! Now these beauties, originally $228, can be yours for only $83.
Or $120 if you’re like me and ordered them to come on next day air.
Because I clearly need these shoes by tomorrow night or I will simply die.

June 1, 2011 at 1:25 pmYes, these shoes are amazing. They are the Le Cruset of footwear. I have a similar pair of Guess black lace heels I bought for my birthday this year… I think they helped with my hangover the next morning 🙂
Erin
June 1, 2011 at 1:25 pmPretty! I love a good pair of shoes for a special occasion such as a birthday. My shoe collection is massive as a result, so for my 26th birthday which just pasted I bought a new dress instead O:-)
Liv @ The Salty n' Sweet
June 1, 2011 at 1:29 pmOh wow they’re gorgeous! They’d be so hot with a little black dress, maybe with an apron on top??
Holly @ The Runny Egg
June 1, 2011 at 1:30 pmI’m not a big shoe person but I want those. The pink sequins are calling to me.
Kelly @foodiefresh
June 1, 2011 at 1:30 pmYou deserve them! It’s your birthday! 🙂

Shannon
June 1, 2011 at 1:38 pmThese are fab! I always pick my shoes for a special occasion (or just to walk around my house…), and then match my outfit to them. I prefer to make a statement with my feet.
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen
June 1, 2011 at 1:41 pmso glad you bought these. didn’t you post about them recently? I love them!
Daniella @ Runner at Heart

Emily @ Perfection Isn't Happy
June 1, 2011 at 1:56 pmVery pretty! I love anything that sparkles! I’m not sure I would last very long in that heel though, haha.
Gina (Yogattude)
June 1, 2011 at 1:59 pmGorgeous shoes! I can’t bring myself to buy anything full price anymore…it will always go on sale, with an extra promotion or two:)
Bridgette

But pink sequins are pretty awesome!
Shannon @ Blonde Silver Lining
June 1, 2011 at 2:10 pmNew shoes is always a terrific way to celebrate a big day, holiday, good day, bad day… pretty much anything. I bought a pair of gold sparkly heels for the holidays last year and still break them out for those moments I just feel an extra bit of glitz is necessary. Have a Happy Birthday!
Anne
June 1, 2011 at 2:16 pmthose. are. GORGEOUS.
Chloe (South Beach Girl)
June 1, 2011 at 2:22 pmThose are awesome & I’m sure you’ll find other events to wear them to – like a New Years party! Don’t you just love it when shoes are on sale? It’s like winning the closet lottery 😉
Katie @ peacebeme

Happy Early Birthday!

Maddie
June 1, 2011 at 2:36 pmI really hope you are serious when you say you’re going to wear them to Whole Foods. And your kitchen, but that was a given. Super inspiring. To me, at least. Yay 26. Thanks for braving the way for us.
Danielle @ InDeesKitchen
June 1, 2011 at 2:39 pmCute shoes!! Where can one find these?
Tessa @ Amazing Asset
June 1, 2011 at 2:45 pmI lovee those shoes! Unfortunately I never wear heals 🙁 I don’t feel comfortable doing so, I feel I am too tall already (5’11”) Work it in those girl!
Heidi - Apples Under My Bed
June 1, 2011 at 2:45 pmLove it. You totally need them. They’ll look fabulous in your Kitchen & Wholefoods. We’re birthday year buddies! 26 feels like it’s going to be amazing 🙂

Averie (LoveVeggiesandYoga)
June 1, 2011 at 2:53 pmBeautiful!!
I’d wear them to the grocery store. You’d fit right in in parts of San Diego or the O.C.
Just c’mon down to SoCal for a visit 🙂
I love heels.
And sequins.
PERFECTION!

AndreaSomething
June 1, 2011 at 4:44 pmI too have been following these – waiting for them to be marked down! Every respectable gal needs a pair of sparkly, peachy shoes to bake in. Duh!
Wine Girl (Kitchen Doesn't Travel)
June 1, 2011 at 5:10 pmOoh-la-la! I completely agree. Those are must haves!
Miranda @ Working Mom Works Out
June 1, 2011 at 5:19 pmOoh, PRETTY!

Sarah @ The Strength of Faith
June 1, 2011 at 5:57 pmFrom one 26 year old to an almost 26 year old, I affirm this decision.
Carrie
June 1, 2011 at 5:58 pmTotally had to have them and just clicked away… thanks to you, I’ll have fancy new shoes too in a few days. Can’t wait to see a pic of them on! I even happened to have an AT gift card sitting around waiting to be used! $50 shoes for me!!!
Samantha
June 1, 2011 at 6:00 pmOH MY GOD so cute!!! Good pick!!
Baking 'n' Books
June 1, 2011 at 6:03 pmI would kill myself in those heels! Any heels actually…yikes.
How tall are you?
Aja
June 1, 2011 at 6:22 pmI want those shoes. Enjoy your birthday.
Jess@atasteofconfidence
June 1, 2011 at 7:05 pmThose are beautiful, but I’d die in heels that high!
Whitney
June 1, 2011 at 7:10 pmYep, my birthday is Saturday and so I just bought these bad boys for myself too! Happy birthday to us!
Courtney T.
June 1, 2011 at 7:12 pmHow amazing!! Wow… girl you will rock these shoes! Ann Tay never lets us down 😉
meghan@ struggle muffins
June 1, 2011 at 7:16 pmObviously you need those shoes STAT! A girl can’t sit around waiting for such wonderful things to just arrriiive, she has to have them rush delivered so she can carry on with life with better-bedazzled feet 🙂
jenna
June 1, 2011 at 7:26 pmAmen soul sister!
Cynthia (It All Changes)
June 1, 2011 at 7:17 pmThey look so pretty. Just be careful around the chocolate. 🙂
French Heart
June 1, 2011 at 7:41 pmBeautiful color–esp with blonde hair.
A sleeve-less short sheath in the shimmery nude, pale peach or seashell pink would be classy, sexy & great .
Something like this except the color is too dark:

This is feminine & adorable: http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/kate-spade-new-york-jillian-bow-front-dress/3171639?origin=category&resultback=6473
I scanned through ‘cocktail dresses’ on Nordstrom…there were some cute ones.
Loehmans on Sutter in San Francisco often find great things at a discount I hear.
If scan & find something you like online—can print out & do a run through better SF consignment shops on Polk & outter Sacramento St & you’d be amazed what you can find. SF society gals wear things once & then send them to consignment. Bonne chance!
Think Adam needs to take you to Gary Danko, or Fleur de Lys in SF with shoes like these. He’s pretty gifted in ‘BF-doing-sweet-imaginative-things’ dept.
Exciting that it’s almost your B-Day!
French Heart
June 1, 2011 at 7:53 pmPS: Do you ever go on Polyvore……see great things/ideas on there including designers like Kate Spade at 1/2 price!
Justeen @ Blissful Baking
June 1, 2011 at 7:54 pmOmg LOVE the shoes!! I say you made a very wise decision! 🙂

June 1, 2011 at 8:00 pmThose shoes are FABULOUS! But are they comfortable? You’ll have to report back… inquiring minds want to know 😉
Kiran @ KiranTarun.com

Julie H.
June 1, 2011 at 8:38 pmI agree! The shoes MUST help you welcome year ’26’! ….I am going to be 25 in a few months and feel so caught between being young and being old. Right in the middle!!! You inspire me with theses shoes!
Moni'sMeals
June 1, 2011 at 9:30 pmI really like these! I am NOT a heel person either. I like how soft they look. 🙂

June 1, 2011 at 9:30 pmLOVE these sooooo much. Happy early Birthday Jenna 😉
Susan
June 1, 2011 at 9:45 pmYou’re welcome! These certainly were a bright part of the rainy morning!
I can’t wait to hear what you think of them. I did standard delivery, so I’ll have to wait a bit longer. I’ll be on the lookout for sparkly shoes at Whole Foods. 🙂
Sarah @ OC2Seattle
June 1, 2011 at 10:11 pmThere’s nothing like baking in heels, it makes your frosting fluffier and your chocolate mousse much more decadent. Happy almost b’day!
Katrina
June 1, 2011 at 11:43 pmBeauty shoes! I love a great deal. Time to bake!!
Khushboo
June 2, 2011 at 12:30 amThose shoes are hawtttt! I would have paid the forty extra bucks too- because I’m frugal like that 😉
Jemma @ Celery and Cupcakes
June 2, 2011 at 3:29 amGo get those shoes! They’re hot!
Molly @ RDexposed
June 2, 2011 at 3:50 amI’d be wearing these with everything! Like in bed sleeping, even!

Natalia - a side of simple
June 2, 2011 at 8:56 amI firmly believe that baking/cooking skills rise to a whole new level when the cook/baker is wearing incredible heels or fuzzy slippers 🙂

Cathy
June 2, 2011 at 1:53 pmLove them! I also have a pair of stilettos from Ann Taylor that I fondly refer to as my sh*tkickers. I feel invincible when I wear them 🙂 They’re black patent leather with a silver heel. And oddly enough, I also got them for my birthday a few years ago. Happy early birthday to you!

Stephanie @ The Travelling Tastebuds
June 5, 2011 at 1:35 pmThose shoes are SO cute! I’m super impatient so I’d probaby pay a little extra for quick shipping. Happy birthday… a little early 🙂
