YSL Tribute Sandals
These beauties are 5 1/2 inches high, but they have a 1 1/2 inch platform so it feels like a 4 inch heel. I promise you, they are comfortable!! And so incredibly sexy. I have them in two colors.
First: A nude, vanilla color that make your legs look a mile long. These shoes in the nude color work with just about anything and look especially hot with a DVF wrap dress. The shape and height make them very sexy, but the color tones them down for everyday use.

Second: my second pair are grey patent leather (I could not find a stock photo, so here they are on me).
I wore the grey ones out to dinner a lot over the summer. Once I got over that initial fear of the height, I was always super comfortable in them. I think they have a disco 70's feel to them (in a good, Bianca Jagger kind of way).
YSL tribute sandals will automatically lift your seat and give your thighs an incredible shape. Good for hot dates, dancing for your boyfriend, brunch with the girls and shopping in high end department stores (those BG sales clerks ALWAYS look at your shoes). Fun, fun, fun!!
A note on sizing: I find YSL shoes do not run as small as other designer shoes. So while I am normally a size 9, in YSL I am a 9.5 (but in Jimmy Choo or Manolo Blahnik I am a 10).
Cole Haan Violet Air 90
I also have these Cole Haan Violet Air 90 Pumps in red patent leather:
These pumps have Nike Air technology in the sole making them incredibly comfortable - despite the 3 3/4 inches high heel. Cole Haan frequently has sales and I scored these beauties for over 50% off the retail price. Yes! The red patent leather looks amazing paired with denim and with camel colored pencil skirts. They don't show a lot of toe cleavage, just a little glimpse, which I like. Too much toe cleavage looks kinda porny to me. These shoes comes in lots of colors and leathers and I highly recommend them for comfort, style and quality.
I think these shoes run true to size - my usual size 9 fit perfectly!

Frye
On the other side of the spectrum are these amazing boots from The Frye Company: the Amelia boot in cognac:
These are truly the most comfortable pair of boots I have ever worn. They look great with everything - dresses, skirts and jeans. They have a beautiful patina and the leather is incredibly high quality. Love them!! I once paired these with an orange pencil skirt, beige sweater and a tan leather skinny belt on a bloated, yucky day when I had no motivation to dress up. And yet I still looked presentable.
The shaft of the boot is very generous - making them easy to wear with skinny jeans, even for a full calf girl like me.
This post is all about jumping back into blogging, which I miss. My photography is severely limited, but what the hey! Let's do this. Take two.

I love the YSL sandals! I don't know if I'd make it more than 2 steps though since I'm not a huge heel wearer. Maybe I should stick with the Frye boots (equally gorgeous!) :)
