Magpie and Muttonfly

I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for fall.  So, it would seem, are retail stores.  Chunky sweaters of muted tones are beginning to creep their way in amongst tank tops awash with color.  It’s a beautiful thing.  If only the temps would simmer down.  But alas, it’s suppose to reach 98 degrees today. Sigh.

Guess there’s only one thing to do:  shop for Autumn-ready shoes. 

Shoes like these from Ruche …

{Pink Studio Bellina Mary Janes from Ruche}

They’re playful and elegant all in one. 

Or, perhaps these from ModCloth …

{Dessert Course Heel from ModCloth}

Fallish hues wrapped in a sophisticated heel–what’s not to love?  Of course, the fact that they’re described as a confection … caramel … milk chocolate … dark cocoa … sugary nougat … makes them all the sweeter.    

Now that’s good marketing … for someone.  After all, I may not be able to afford the shoe, but I’m sure I can swing a candy bar or two!
