We went to Melbourne for the Australia Day long weekend, just gone. We had a great little apartment in the city (Flinders Lane, for those in the know). Perfect location.
Especially when I discovered what was just around the corner...Sole Devotion! I nearly hyperventilated when I saw it. Especially when I saw the big "SALE" balloons in the window.
And of course I made a purchase!
I was so pleased to find these in this great metallic - not too shiny, goes with everything kinda colour. I was very tempted by a similar pair with a piece of leather knitted fabric going from the toe strap up to the ankle strap - and they were called "Knit" - but decided that these were more classic.
I am so very pleased with my new shoes!
And apart from a horrible 10 minutes on the plane during takeoff on the way down, during which he screamed and thrashed about, Connor travelled very well. But for that 10 minutes, I think I deserved a new pair of shoes, heh!

I thought you were going to say "Tessuti Fabrics" to the answer of what was around the corner from your apartment! Beaut shoes - love the inside-out seams!
they're cute! But I do wish we could see a photo of the knit shoes!
oops that was me.
welcome to the trippen club - whoot they are just GORGEOUS - love the metallic - and your nails match perfectly!!!
Lovely shoes!
goddamn i love that store. these look fantastic. i think i am nearly ready to make the leap from camper to trippen. perhaps i should get the knit ones?!
You always deserve a new pair of shoes.

Great shoes, and even I have owned a pair in that kind of shade area because they DO go with everything. Very nice indeed and you do deserve new shoes. Poor Connor, I hope he is OK now after his trying flight?!!!
Lovely, lovely lovely...and they last forever.
What a great style. They'll never look dated. I like the way the heel is done. Good purchase!
It has been so long since a proper shoesday!
Hooray for shoesday! They are lovely, and the matching nail polish makes such a chic look!
Keep an eye on the lad and if he starts rubbing at his ears, get him to the doctor. Sometimes the air-pressure change in the plane can give babies ear-problems.
Lovely shoes & of course you deserve them. I love Melbourne & on my last visit, I stayed in an apartment right next to Myers.
Fabulous shoes, and one of the best colours ever.
What a fab color! And yes, traveling with a little one means you get to treat yourself.
Those are fabulous shoes. There are a lot of ankle straps around here, too -- though, boots rule at this time of the year!
My heart goes out to Connor. I had terrible ear pain when flying as a child. Very painful!
I meant to comment on Saturday when you had these on how lovely and comfortable they looked. Had no idea they were a recent find!
I'm a little late to the comment section. I was just surfing around tonight looking for posts about Trippen because I love those shoes beyond measure! I noticed someone above wanted to see the knit sandals you mentioned, and I think these ones at Ped Shoes are the style you're talking about. Alas, only Size 35 left (though WAY on sale). It is a funky and fun looking sandal!
