Hi and happy Thursday! I wanted to do a very quick roundup of my go-to shoes for summer—I recently found some amazing sandals and heels secondhand, and have lots of tried-and-true winners to recommend from years past. My reigning champion forever-favorite shoe brand is Paloma Wool: pictured from them are the butter yellow boots, the light green platforms, and the cream pointed slides on the bottom, and I also have their Moon Sandal in blue. Everything they make is so unique: their shoes are handmade with high-quality (often deadstock) leather: I’m onto year five with the cream slides on the bottom shelf and they still look great! I highly recommend investing in PW’s shoes as they last forever and they bring a lot of personality into an outfit: I’ve found them to be true to size. Shop on SSENSE, Poshmark, Vestaire, and The Real Real.

On the bottom row, we’ve got the Xavi Sandal from LOQ—if you’re a size 38, I found these for you! And here they are in brown for a size 40. You can shop their new arrivals here: there are a few similar styles, and here are some other options from them on Poshmark.

Donald Pliner Vintage Wedges, ELLE Vintage Kitten Heels, Paloma Wool Forbes Sandal, Paloma Wool Margot Boot

I cannot find anyone reselling the PW Margot Boot for the life of me, which makes sense because they’re so fucking cool, and personally, I couldn’t imagine ever parting with them. For the slingback kitten heels on the right side of the middle shelf, I searched for this and scrolled through a million options until I found what I liked heel-wise and toe-shape-wise.

The Ballet Flat Roundup covers all of my recommendations for mary janes and slippers, with the most comfortable being from Jamie Haller and Jeffrey Campbell (the red pair, pictured). I found the baby blue bow heels on Poshmark, but you can find them new on Zara.

These square-toe-block-heel mary janes (bottom left shelf) were devastatingly painful to break in for me but could be easier for you if you have a very narrow foot.

Another unpictured but honorable mention: this sandal from Camper: I wore them for 14 hours of walking a few days ago with not a single blister or negative consequence, and they come in 8 colors if the pink doesn’t do it for you.

Lastly, the gingham slides on the bottom right are from Marais, which is a brand that no longer exists. There are some similar styles up on eBay and Poshmark!
