The Hunt



Each season I am on a hunt.  A hunt for the perfect black pump.  I have had pointy toe, round toe, open toe, leather, patent leather, suede, cheap, designer you name it.  My hunt first begins online.  I search stores just as Neiman Marcus for inspiration.  I get ideas of trends and I view runway collections online.  From there I head to the magazines.  I look at features and layouts in Vogue and InStyle and then I check out the feet of the celebs in InTouch, USWeekly, etc.  Televsion comes next.  I am just mad about Rachel Zoe, and she offers inspiration, but that is another post entirely.

So this season, after my hours of research I have decided, round toe, platform, exotic skin.  If it is going to be a black pump I want something made out of real leather with padding and support.  Nothing is worse than a fake black leather pump. Fashion staples should always be the real thing.

Thanks to InStyle and their feature on Ann Taylor, I decided to check out Ann Taylor's "Perfect Pump."  The name lived up.  I am just mad about these perfect pumps.  They have the style, the comfort and the cool factor I was looking for.

Now I  just need to save up for the booties I saw....
