Currently Coveting

Jillian Harris recently posted this picture on her Instagram account, and I have been coveting her shoes ever since.

Then she posted this one, and I want the shoes even more. 

I might just have to buy them.

Both Katie and I are coveting these shoes. She sent me a link to them earlier this week, and I decided to share them with all of you. Katie ordered them in black and will have to report back with a "What I Wore" post.

Halogen Clarette' Suede Wedge Sandal $99

I'm not shopping right now, so someone should buy these. Any takers?

Splurge vs. Save

I've had summer shoes on my mind lately despite the fact that the official beginning of summer is months away. We are going to Paris at the end of August, and I've been thinking a lot about what cute and comfortable shoes I could wear to walk the city. 

In my online browsing, I came across these Loeffler Randall Espadrilles. They come in black and tan and black and white. I really like them, but the $195 price tag is a bit more than I had in my head since I do have other shoes in my closet that would work just fine. 

Loeffler Randall "Mara" Espadrille $195

Later in my online browsing I came across nearly the identical shoe, which also comes in the same two color ways but is half the price. 

 Halogen "Sandy" Espadrille $89.95

I do like the Loeffler Randall pair a bit more, but $100 more? I'm not sure. I plan to go to Nordstrom later this week to try both on, so I will be sure to report back. 

So, what would you do, splurge or save?

Also, as you may have seen on Facebook, Katie is out of commission for a few months, and I would love a little extra support on the blog. So, I am looking for readers who might be interested in writing a guest post. Please email cardicouture@gmail.com with your ideas!
