I ordered the same ones. I hope they fit and are comfortable.

Thank you scarf1. I feel at peace with my boot situation now. I might try the dreaded jumping boots again for jeans. I just hope I don't get stuck this time. [emoji23]

I have followed this discussion with interest as I also love a good block heeled pump. My personal favorite, not mentioned here yet, is Tod's. It offers a couple of versions of loafer style pumps with a 3 inch block heel. The suede double-T has a stacked wooden heel which I think is more durable than a suede covered heel. These shoes are so comfortable I can wear them for 10 hours with no discomfort. Currently available on mytheresa.com.

I have heard great things about Tods. They are opening a store here soon. I am looking forward to trying them.

Tod's make a great quality product. I have scores of the loafers as they were my work shoes. I also use them for travel in the thick rubber sole style as they are great for cobble stone streets. I replaced some heels and soles here and there, but on the whole they don't wear out. I also have the heels in the loafer style. I have had them a long time and they have never gone out of fashion. My only problem is that I seldom wear 3 in heels now.

Pbp, are yours the Finlay?

I like these, but they are not on sale...

Also, the sandals I bought on pre-sale at Saks last week were $150 cheaper at Holts on the weekend...

Yes, mine are the finlay ones. They looked a bit more delicate and lower cut than the others to me.

I decided not to get the gold/ brown pair. If I get something in the color I want it to be perfect for jeans.

Sorry, I am late catching up.
Cremel, thank you for the beautiful photos. It looks like your boys had a wonderful time! Good thing you were there long enough to enjoy some sunny days amid the rainy ones.

I had an interesting experience at Cartier. I am kind of burnt out from high stress shopping and I was looking forward to a low stress experience at Cartier. It was not to be. My bracelet is sold out in the US. In order to get one from France I had to pay in full. The original estimate was 2-3 weeks. Now I am told 12 weeks, no firm promises. There is no alternative in order to get the bracelet, although one can purchase it online in France. They say it's because customs clearance takes so long. If it doesn't arrive before I go to France next time, I'll start calling the Paris stores to reserve it and cancel my order here. Somewhat nuts to make you pay in full for an item they dont have. Ev n Hermes doesn't do that.

I'm so sorry this happened to you! Was this for your special bracelet?? I thought it had already arrived?
I'm sure you decided on a course of action already, but do you have any close friends in France who could help you out?

Ughhh. You are so right. I'm really sort of burnt out on the whole nonsense. Maybe I just need to stop shopping, which means I need to stop looking a anything that might interest me.

BBC obviously you feel comfortable with eBay so go for it. I agree that the offerings coming aren't exciting me much. But I'm withholding judgment until I see them in person.

I stopped by Dior on my way to the ballet this afternoon. They brought in a few things to try. I need a different size but there were one or two good possibilities. I am learning about the brand. I couldn't find much info on their RTW even here on tpf. So here is what I discovered of interest: The items online are the runway items which do not interest me. The more classic toned down styles are the commercial pieces. They aren't online but they have hem in the stores.They use a similar wool crepe each season so if you buy pieces over the years you can mix and match. And they have a price harmonization policy across the globe so there is little if any difference in the prices between Europe and the US. I need to double check that. The last time I checked their bags were a big savings in Europe.

I am interested in looking into Dior as well. As you know, I am a flowy dress person, so I think Dior might fit my style well. Most likely I would just buy a few special pieces for dressy occasions though.
