A Look Back: My First High Heels

Do you ever put something away in a 'safe spot' not to lose it, only to do exactly that, by forgetting the spot entirely? I do, and this time I've done it with the ankle strap of my very first official pair of high heels. {Official heels, because I'm not counting platforms or one inch lifts}. My mom bought me these when I was 16/17 while we were walking around St. Armands Circle, in Sarasota, Florida.

A few months ago the strap popped off the back and I am about 99.999% sure I placed it in my purse, for safe keeping. I was planning on taking it in this past weekend to get fixed, but after looking through every... single.... purse, it's nowhere to be found. I was hoping to get them fixed with the original piece, but I suppose a replica will do ;)

Happy Monday Friends! I hope you had a super weekend!

  1. These are so cute! Great FIRST pair of heels, I don’t even want to remember my first ones. I remember though a pair of Sasha pumps I bought the first time I came to visit London almost 10 years ago!

  15. Those were you first heels? Pretty stylin! I can't believe you saved them. I think that says so much about your devotion to memories/fashion/and sentimental things. Which I think is pretty awesome.

  27. That is such a lovely pair... you know how they preserve the baby shoes, maybe you can do that with this pair and keep it as an heirloom. xoxo

  28. So pretty! I wish I still have my first pair of heels. Happy Monday!

  29. The blur definitely makes it look like these are Glamor Shots of your shoes! (please tell me you remember Glamor Shots - they'd soft-focus the lens so much and pile tons of makeup on everyone so everybody looked gorgeous!)

    Lovely shoes, I'm jealous you can still fit shoes that you had when you were 17!

  30. Hi. Thank you so much for the comment!
    I appreciate your efforts so much!

    I love those shoes, btw.
    And they really are a feet candy.
    Beautiful and perfect for Spring.

  31. UGH! I do that all the time...it's so aggravating. Especially when you know that you have the item in question in your possession, but simply can't remember where its location is. I hope you're able to get those gorgeous heels repaired, Iva!

    Ohmigosh your cousin is Larisa Oleynik?! Do you realize that I was obsessed with her growing up? I watched her on The Secret World of Alex Mack everyday; and I wanted to be her in The Baby-Sitters Club! How exciting that you're related to her!! :)

  32. I put stuff in "special" places all the time. It should be called a "black hole" because I never find them again!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Aww, those heels are so pretty, Iva! And the flowers you photographed them with are perfect. Great eye=) Hope everything is well on your end.

    ReplyDelete
  34. So pretty Iva...
    I like the blurry effect~ looks dreamy & fab*
    Great new week!
    xo

  35. That's funny!

    A camera definitely has a mind of its own. I must say the camera knew what it was doing because I never realized that shoes could look so romantic up until now!

    Have a great week!

  36. Cute heels, I don't even remember my first pair!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Oh no, I hope you find it! Those shoes are so cute! My first pair of heels were pretty ugly, (tho I probably didn't think so at the time).

    ReplyDelete
  38. I seem to always misplace things and then when I go to hunt for them, I will find other things that I forgot about...

  42. Cute heels!
    The only real high heels I ever got were my prom ones. As a tall girl, I don't feel confident in them :/ I'm more of a flip flops/flats kind of girl.

    ReplyDelete
  43. OMG SACHA LONDON!!! I died for their shoes in the 90's when I was in high school ...mostly their lace-up oxfords because that's all we could wear but I loved that store. Adorable!



    {i just added your button to my sidebar ...sorry I didn't do it sooner ;) }

  44. What a fantastic first pair of heels!

    Here's hoping you'll be able to get them repaired- I'm sure a cobbler could do that quite easily.
