LADIES!!! I must share a discovery! So I was in NOLA this past weekend for a trip with the bf and some friends and decided to wear my blue HL to Nola (emeril's restaurant). The other girls were all wearing dresses with flats so I raided the only nice store in the New Orleans area (Saks on Canal) and I found the greatest invention EVER! Vera Wang Lavender label has some new peep toe flats in. They have jewel embellishments on the toe below the peep toe and.... EXCELLENT ARCH SUPPORT FOR FLATS!!!! I got them in nude and gunmetal. Plus a pair of nude patent valentinos... I am officially banned. But back to the flats. I wore them out to dinner and they looked AWESOME! The rhinestones really dressed them up. Unfortunately I didn't take any outfit pics since we were running late, but I will be repeating this outfit and I will definitely post pictures!

BTW the flats are these: http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main...er_id=282574492715781&bmUID=iWW.AyV&ev19=2:29

and I think they work with HLs :yahoo:

Very cute flats, but I just wouldn't wear flats with an HL. I'm only 5'3" and flats with an HL would just make me look/feel way too short.
Too bad you didn't take any pics. I'm sure that you looked gorgeous:)
 
Amaryllix: They are sold out of most sizes on the Saks website and they only have the nude. They have almost all the colors (including a gorgeous navy metallic blue and black) at the New Orleans Saks. If you can't find them in your local saks shoot me a msg and I'll pm you the info for the AWESOME SA at the NOLA saks! They just got a new shipment in about three days ago. Also for me these ran tts.

Those flats are so cute! I'll have to see if I can find them next time I go to Saks.

And yep, that HL is definitely fake. I got mine from BG, so if you need reference pictures I'll be happy to provide some. :)
 
vhdos: hahaha I know what you mean. I'm 5'6 but I always feel short around my bf and his friends (one of his female friends is 5'9 and her boyfriend is 6'2!) so I was reluctant to wear flats too. These have made me a believer! Try getting your hands on a pair for just casual wear rather than HL wear. My are going to get worn so often!

I am just shocked this degrade dress was suddenly on the outnet, my favourite Herve dress ever!

I agree. Especially if the hem reaches your knee or close to it. It would just make your legs look so short! I'm your height too, so I know. :D

Cat.
 
Not a dress, but I've been debating these for a while and they went an extra 40% off at the Outnet so I couldn't pass them up!

Also I'm thinking of wearing my Navy blue HL tank dress with a cacoon sweater over it for a rehersal dinner tonight. Is it appropriate or too much? I'll take pics later if i need too.

I think that's perfect! The cocoon sweater tones down the dress, so I think it's definitely not too much--plus, you'll be so comfy! (HL+sweater=ultimate "classy yet comfy" outfit)
 
Does anyone have any experience renting HLs from Rent the Runway?
I ask because I'm still having trouble convincing myself that I purchased the right HL for my "white" charity event that's coming up in a month. You may recall that I found a white HL, but it is far too revealing and I have been searching for blazers/jackets to cover it up a bit. I still plan to post pics of the dress with two different jackets (and shoes) to get some opinions. However, I just don't know if the dress itself is going to work for me. I really don't want to invest a ton of money into another white dress, especially since white is not really a color that I wear much (except for more casual whites for spring/summer). Rent The Runway has the Victoria Beckham purple/white striped dress that might work for me (it's not all white, but has enough white I think). Does anyone own this dress and have any modeling pics? How does the sizing run? RTR only has a size XS. Thanks!
 
vhdos,
Was it you asking about dying HLs? if so, did you finally do it or not? What was the outcome? I found a dress I like that is white but I'd love it in red. Worth the trouble or not?

TIA
