iWant Faryl Robin Spring 2010 Wedges

Thank you to High Snobette for bringing these shoes to my attention! These white wedges are from Faryl Robin's Spring 2010 collection. I'm a fan of the Faryl Robin because her shoes are cute, affordable and fit tested by real women in the office!

When I first saw this pair, they reminded me a bit of the Poseidon booties from Chloe a few seasons back, which I never bought because they were out of my budget.
The pair from Faryl Robin is a bit more casual and organic feeling than the Chloes.

I'll admit that these Faryl Robins look a little strange, but I think it's what I love about them. I picture these shoes with flowy spring/summer dresses during the day and dark dresses with architectural shoulders for the evening. I feel like these could be very versatile despite their bold look.

Unfortunately, these shoes won't be available until spring, but fortunately, they'll probably be affordable like most pairs from Faryl Robin. iWant today, and I'll have in the future.

Deal of the Day : Faryl Robin Booties

I saw these booties on Gilt Fuse earlier this week, and I was about to get them since they felt perfect for fall. But they sold out almost instantly! Not a surprise seeing as how they were selling for $78 compared to $250 retail.

With a little Google action, I found them on Overstock.com of all places for $79.99, and Overstock has cheaper shipping than Gilt! Sweet!

I'm moving next month, so I might hold off on buying them now...
