Chinese Laundry "At Once" in Taupe
My most recent shoe purchase was this great little wedge bootie by Chinese Laundry. The color is called "taupe" - though that isn't really what I'd call this hue - so I took a picture of it next to some light gray suede Cole Haan booties for comparison. The CL's are a darker grayish-brown, I'd say... maybe a wet-cement-gray-brown? These pics were all taken with a flash.
This is my first time buying Chinese Laundry and I'm really happy with them. Cute, versatile, and nicely priced... and a "Rachel Zoe pick" on piperlime to top it off. They are pretty comfy -- I may add a little cushion insert under the ball of my foot. I took my typical 8.5.
Happy Monday!

first I thought they were grey. But when I saw the picture next to the grey shoe I agree: they are taupe.
ReplyDeleteDid you order them online? I really like any kind of bootie, especially wedge booties.
So cute! I am typically an 8.5 too, but I ended up buying a 9 in Tory Burch. For you at Tory's TTS?
ReplyDeleteCute and I love your nail polish color!
ReplyDeletePaula - hi! Yes - I ordered from piperlime.com. I think they are also available from zappos.com.

ReplyDeleteDear sparrowandsparkles,
ReplyDeleteas you might have seen on my recent post on youarewittyandpretty, "Shoe-tic", you are not alone with your beautiful buy! The grey (and I would call that grey - not taupe) - is very tender, and I love suede leather, that's so soft and comfortable for the feet (and easier to look after than people think). I wish you much joy with those boots!
Hot boots. I like the footwear you pick. :-)
