Urban Outfitters Is Really Doing Some Fantastic Things With Shoes Right Now

I'm feeling such primal urges toward shoe shopping right now. Mommy! What do my feelings mean? (Will I still be a virgin?) I think I need to fantasy shop to fulfill my urge to buy a shitton of shoes. Like just fill up a cart with these shoes, and then close it, the way ex-smokers will pretend to inhale a lit cigarette. Deep breaths, deep breaths. Okay... GO!

Um, hi. These neutral suede heels are just $48. It's like they WANT US TO BUY THEM or something! How sweet would these look with grey tights? They also come in grey, but they're SOLD OUT. BOO HISS!

($68, Deena & Ozzy, Urbanoutfitters.com)
Granted, I wouldn't be able to walk from my bedroom to my apartment door without falling in these wedges, but I would if I could. They remind me of Rick Owens' crazy platform wedges at one one-billionth of the price.

Eee! I LOVE a white macrame bootie! They remind me of the Steve Madden "Skiip" woven Oxfords I love and have worn into the ground.

Is there anything more FOSSE than a black suede platform? IT'S SHOWTIME!

Save Fashion! Go Shopping! In Port Authority!


For once in your life you can pick up something at Port Authority besides crusty sandwiches and used prophylactics! You really need to go check out Save Fashion -- a month-long pop-up shop/ hardcore sample sale of stuff by real designers you actually really love and usually can't afford/ justify paying for. And by "you," I mean "I."

When I stopped by the launch party, I saw amazing Charlotte Ronson pieces for $30 (I kept turning the hang tags over, looking for extra 0s), VPL, and gorgeous Wren pieces for around $70, if memory serves me. Rick Owens tanks are just $28. Ridick, right?

Currently Save Fashion's lineup is all women's stuff, but men's clothing is coming soon.

Here the lineup of designers for week 1:
