TOE LIBERATION, Y’ALL!
I summery sandals and flip-flops because they 1) give me an excuse to not wear socks and 2) free mah feet.
But ya know…shoe hoarders like moi also like to have many, many options, and that’s why these TOMS Majorca Peep Toe Booties ($97.95) have just entered my summer shoe rotation.
I got these for myself as a belated birthday present from Nordstrom, and I’m so glad I did. They’re made of super soft suede, so there’s no breaking-in period, and the 2-3/4″ heel adds some height without sabotaging my balance…so I don’t feel like I’m going to topple over every time I take a step.
I like ’em with jeans and tank tops, but I bet they’ll also be cute with a summer dress or denim shorts and a loose tee.
This nude shade here is called Stucco, but they also come in Black Suede (also very cute).
And did I mention that these are comfortable? — ’cause homegirl is all about comfort these days. 🙂
You can find these bootie cuties now at Nordstrom and online.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

P.S. Happy hump day! How are you doing on this wonderful Wednesday?
Lauren S. says
What a cute pair of boots!!! My Wednesday’s going well, still trying to wake up. 🙂 Oh, and I also just subscribed! How’s your hump day?
Karen says
Yay, thank you for subscribing, Lauren!
I’m still not awake either, and it’s 10 here in Cali, LOL!
So far my day has been OK. It’s cold here today, brr. What are you up to?
Lauren S. says
It’s foggy here in San Jose, too. 🙁
Today I have a final dress rehearsal for the show I’m in, Little Shop of Horrors! Eek, so nervous!
Elena says
Ooh I love how Tom’s has expanded their shoe line so much style wise! I have their wedge boots, wedges, sneakers, flats and classics and I love them! Itching for a new pair!!
How cute! They had some really cool combat boots online at Nordy’s but very limited size selection. Ah I love Tom’s.
Happy hump day! I am off today so I did all my boring errands (groceries, laundry, cleaning) yesterday after work so I could have fun today! (Going to Ulta, trader joes, thrift shopping and the craft store).
Karen says
LOL, you know what I call those boring errands? CINDERELLA CHORES. lol
Have fun today! Ooh, and what’s on your Ulta list?
BTW, I was debating on getting a pair of Tom’s Wedges. How do they hold up?
Elena says
Hahaha that’s a good one! I’m always sweeping/mopping/vacuuming with a giant dog in the house that just drags everything in. Right now I am picking up all these random bits of moss and leaves he brought in. lol.
Nothing in particular from Ulta! I am waiting on the new Urban Decay stuff to launch. My bf gave me a $75 gift card there for our anniversary! I went in yesterday on my lunch break and bought a cheap eyeliner by J. Cat beauty (it reminds me of UD’s Demolition and it is super budge proof too, and only $4!) and a lip stain by the same brand too. But I am going to be in the area of a different Ulta and figure I would scope it out lol
And I love my Tom’s wedges! I have 2 pairs of the wedges with the open toe, the Desert Wedge Bootie and the Desert Wedge High Bootie. All are extremely comfortable and easy to walk around in all day! I have had my open-toe wedges for several years now (I don’t wear them often so maybe that’s why they held up so well) but I think these styles last way longer than say the classic Tom’s shoes. The high booties I have are suede so I sprayed them with several coats of weatherproofing spray to help protect them!
The one pair of Tom’s that I hated and wouldn’t buy again were their black leather flats. I remember they were doing a pre-order at Nordy’s. It was such a big deal because it was the first style they were doing besides the classics and they were all cute and fashionable. Oh they were comfortable but they were falling apart and the leather was wearing down at the heel and toe. For $90, they were a ripoff!
Amanda says
Those are so cute!!! I spent a lot of time talking myself out of buying the Toms wedge booties last fall.
Kiss & Make-up says
Those are some very cutie booties! (had to make it rhyme)
I’m going shopping tomorrow, maybe I’ll look for a similar pair 🙂
Ruchita says
Ooo, these are cute! I like the neutral color. It looks like they would be very versatile!
Ashleigh says
THESE ARE SO CUTE.
But I just bought a pair of metallic sandals from Lands End last night, and I’m not really one to buy two pairs of shoes in a span of 24 hours…. or am I.
Curse your sudden but inevitable shoe posts.
Molly says
OMG, those are ADORABLE. I’m swooning over here picturing them with destroyed boyfriend jeans and a white slub tee with layered necklaces. So cute. I have some of Tom’s winter booties–can’t remember the name– and they are extremely comfortable! Happy Wednesday, Karen!
Beti says
I had no idea that Toms made such cute booties. I love the style for summer and they look like they would be comfortable to wear cause of the heel size.
Lauren says
These are FAB shoes!!
Agata says
These shoes are stunning! I would totally wear them!
My Wed is going ok. Got my Internet installed at the new place and went to a street fair with my friend. One day at a time…
India says
I really want to buy these in black, but I’m scared that these will be the only shoes I wear for weeks on end 🙂
xx,
India
Allison C says
Very cute booties. They look adorable on you. I love the color
Vijaya says
I’m grabbing a pair this second!
Fancie says
Omg these are too cute!! I want them in this color and black if they have them
Kwmechelle says
Ummmmm, hellooooo, cute bootie! Love these. Denim shorts & a cute Tee sound super cute & would tote go with these shooties By the way, love the R&B/hip-hop/pop culture references you make. That song comes in my head every time I read this title. It also makes me giggle…..tehehehehehe =)
Abigail Landsbrook says
I love the look and color of these booties… however, I’m not fond of the prominent “Toms” label on the heel. If these were minus the label then I would buy a pair in both colors. 🙁 They look great on you with the rolled jeans though!
Having a busy Wednesday and can’t wait to try out my Julep “rethink your shower” body cleansing oil later on.
Happy Wednesday Everyone!!!
Talkerblogger says
What a cute pair of booties and I love the color !!!
Laura says
So cute! If my feet weren’t super-wide, I’d be all over these. And yes, I’d so try to get away with these in a conservative office.
I just picked up a pair of Dolce Vita Raine booties from Nordstrom myself- now trying to figure out how to style them once it cools down!
Kat says
I didn’t know Toms did heels!! Those are super cute.

Kim says
Very cute and practically air conditioned! And I forgot to say in the comments in the last post: Happy Anniversary to you and El Hub! A good couple is hard to find, so I hope you celebrated being one of the few. 🙂
Lena says
