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,
Karen

July 8th, 2015 at 10:15 amWhat 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
July 8th, 2015 at 10:16 amYay, 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
July 8th, 2015 at 10:40 amIt’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
July 8th, 2015 at 10:16 amOoh 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
July 8th, 2015 at 10:18 amLOL, 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
July 8th, 2015 at 10:31 amHahaha 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
July 8th, 2015 at 10:37 amThose are so cute!!! I spent a lot of time talking myself out of buying the Toms wedge booties last fall.

July 8th, 2015 at 11:44 amOoo, these are cute! I like the neutral color. It looks like they would be very versatile!
Ashleigh says
July 8th, 2015 at 11:50 amTHESE 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
July 8th, 2015 at 11:59 amOMG, 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
July 8th, 2015 at 12:01 pmI 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.

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
July 8th, 2015 at 1:20 pmI really want to buy these in black, but I’m scared that these will be the only shoes I wear for weeks on end 🙂

July 8th, 2015 at 3:02 pmUmmmmm, 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
July 8th, 2015 at 3:05 pmI 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!!!

July 8th, 2015 at 5:59 pmSo 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
July 8th, 2015 at 9:50 pmI didn’t know Toms did heels!! Those are super cute.
