Oxford Comma: Shoe Edition

NY trend just hitting Williamsburg: OXFORDS!

Love them paired with straight-leg jeans or dresses and skirts.  They're playful without being garrishly girly.  I've actually been on the lookout for a pair of comfy, not-too-cute Oxfords for years.  I'm sad to say I couldn't fully commit to putting a pair of menswear inspired shoes on my feet until half of the women in NYC were doing the same. LAME. But now that I've committed, so many options:

To lace or to not lace? Haven't come up with a conclusive answer. BUT the mix of suede and leather is interesting (good interesting) and wingtip detailing is rarely a bad thing.

Now that's something Vampire Weekend would readily endorse.

Star Struck, Topshop Flats

Most gem-encrusted shoes have cheap-looking gems/gaudy look/over-designed.  Or they will soon look cheap when the gems fall off your cheap shoes.

Karat Star Pumps, Topshop

I know some people (mostly happy sport) take offense at star struck clothing...but these babies look even better in person!  I'm talking Kate Spade gem-encrusted shoe spiffy. Bonus: day (actually kind of questionable, I'd go out on a limb here...) and night appropriate! I'm tempted to get a pair and pray for all the gems to stay in place.

Jack Rogers Flats

You cannot walk anywhere in DC without seeing a girl wearing Jack Roger sandals. Women of all ages love them and I recently came across these Jack Roger Flats and really like them. They break up the monotony of the sandals. They come in a few different colors and it's nice that these can easily transition into fall. They also had a lot of positive reviews online, I might consider these for this fall. Perfect for Ithaca because sandals do not last long!

Tortoise Love

Just to add to my tortoise and Tory Burch obsession...

A bit too mousey?

I used to have a pair of black felt flats from Urbn with some type of animal face on the front of the shoe.  I loved that pair of flats...maybe it was being in 7th grade, or maybe it was just my Asian-ness out in full force.  If I had $300 to burn, I might splurge on this similar pair of Marc flats.  The red color is very rich...and Asian appropriate too, as red is believed to be lucky in Chinese culture.

I love when someone's outfit has a small, quirky detail that truly makes it her own look.
