I apologize for being both being lazy at updating this blog with more informative and thoughtful posts, but my excuse is that I am hard at work and when I come home most days, I just want to sink into a chair with Jimmy Stewart movies and a large glass of wine. In the meantime, however, here's a pretentious photo of me looking at my new Dieppa Restrepo shoes over the weekend. I'm surprised they fit extremely true to size, perhaps even a tiny bit short. I hope the week has been treating you well so far!
Edit: I've received a couple of questions about the sizing on the DP shoes, and they do run very true to size at least in my opinion. I'm a 5.5/6 in US sizing, 36 in European and I got the size 6. A lot of websites have stated that the shoe runs 1/2 size big, I find that this really isn't the case. Either take your true size or if you're in between sizes, take the larger one. Width-wise, the shoe also runs true to size, I have really narrow heels and these have no slippage, which is good. The leather is really lovely, but I think in terms of manufacturing, I find that my Heschung for CdG oxfords are much, much more comfortable and well-made.
oh those are cute cute cute. isn't the camel color perfect?
ReplyDelete@joyce Yes! I saw them on you and Jennifer and decided I needed them more than I needed a pair of penny loafers.
ReplyDeleteThis was a great purchase. The color is perfect!
ReplyDeleteLove it!! The new DPs at Totokaelo are gorgeous. I'm hoping to track down a pair of camel or black breezy calis this season.
ReplyDeleteNice PS1, by the way. So jealous. Do you get a lot of use out of it?
paperwhales: I think the price was totally worth it for the quality of the shoes. No regrets at all (or even slight buyers remorse =).
ReplyDeletejennifer: You know, strangely, I am less enthusiastic about the PS1 now that I have it. I don't think it's worth it at all. The black paint on the enamel clasps are already peeling at less than a year, and the leather is a little too flimsy for my tastes - it sags if I load too many things into it. I actually use my JW Hulme Mini Legacy and a canvas tote bag more often than the PS1 though.
So beautiful the shoes, the leather looks so smooth and creamy like it might melt.
ReplyDeleteYou don't look pretentious in the slightest :)
ReplyDeletelin: the leather is really gorgeous and the price point puts it at an attainavble range.
ReplyDeleteasha: thank you! it's very sweet of you to say so, i think the pretentiousness comes from the stripes and silly pose =)
Beautiful shoes. I'm still a bit obesessed with the breezy cali in navy nubuck. Isn't that a Hope top?
ReplyDeleteGarderoben: Hello! You have sharp eyes, it is a Hope top =D Are you planning on buying the nubuck ones? I'm not really having any breaking in problems like some of the other ladies were, but I just wear a sock liner anyway. I'm surprise how short they run.
ReplyDeleteI'm on the look out for the perfect broques and yours look just like that.I still have a lot of saving to do!
ReplyDeleteThose shoes are amazing! I love the colour!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog you have here. Just went through all your entries in one go :)
I have the same top, but in black with white stripes:)!I think I'll probably end up buying the nubuck ones, there's a 30% sale coming up..
ReplyDeleteI love your shoes, I have been eyeing them for a long time now. And your bag... I die!!
ReplyDeleteThey are absolutely beautiful. The colour actually makes me hungry.
ReplyDeleteDid you end up getting rid of the ps1? Is that a Medium or Large? I'm on the fence about buying one, and didn't know you have (had?) one. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat's a medium PS1 but an older model with the black enamel clasp instead of the current one with the gunmetal clasp and hooks. I got rid of it just this year because it didn't work for me, but I've recently discovered that the new PS1s are a bit more robust.
DeleteThanks. I hadn't know that about the recent change. Maybe they're finally listening to the complaints.
