favorite heel style
the wedge, but a sleek modern interpretation
second favorite
the stiletto
current shoe obsession
alas, the sneaker. (because I live in nyc and walk a ton!) but not too
sneakery of a sneaker. more of a sneaker disguised as a shoe, like a mary
jane style or a high-tech looking black one with a metallic accent. how
about Royal Elastics? I must go try some on. I really like the non-sneakeryness
of their styles.

something about shopping: ylli
 In the converted warehouse mini-district on Driggs in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, there shines a bright new beacon of shopping: Ylli (pronounced yee' lee). The extra-large windows in this corner brick building display a dramatic panorama of luxury goods. Racks upon racks of beautiful, directional, on-trend clothing with some shoes and accessories sprinkled in, that will quite frankly knock your fashion socks off. Just a few of their designers include Sass & Bide, Crispin & Basilio, and Castle Starr. When you go, be sure to wear your favorite tights, shoes, etc. and settle in to a dressing room for a serious try-on fest. Maybe you have missed Ylli, open for six months now, because it has been too darn cold to shop of late. But now that it is warm, you must make a special trip. Perhaps on a Saturday in March between 2 and 4pm when Ylli offers cupcakes, cookies and iced tea to shoppers, to celebrate their new addition: a childrenswear department called Yellow Monkey.

I thought this shop was alright. I might have to go and check out the Castle Starr. I love that new label.
