In honor of St. Patrick’s Day today, I thought it was only “fitting” to showcase some green sandals. Can you tell I favor platforms and wooden heels?
Frye Joy Platform Sandal with wooden heel, available from Nordstrom.
GUESS Beautifi T-Strap Platform Sandals, available from Endless.
Frye Dara Honeycomb Sling-Back Strappy Sandals, available from Zappos.
Kenneth Cole Reaction Gotta Know sandal in Cargo Leather with cork footbed and heel, available from Zappos.
Marc by Marc Jacobs 605643 platform sandals with chunky 4″ wood heels, available from Zappos.
Any of the these would be perfect to avoid getting pinched for not wearing green! Is anyone going out for green beer tonight? I think I’ll have a Midori (green liquor) with cranberry juice and skip the corned beef and cabbage!

Something I find relaxing is sitting down in the evening and flipping through catalogs. It can be clothing, for the home, gardening or whatever. Last night I got all snuggled in and was looking through the Victoria Secret catalog, and I just could not get over the shoes. Don’t get me wrong I shop at VS, and I have even bought shoes from there before. But I just could not get over the height of all the heels and platforms that are out.
These Jessica Simpson Metallic platform sandals are a perfect example. I just can not imagine walking in 5 inch heels! Available for $89 from Victoria’s Secret, but on sale for only $59.90 from Nordstrom.com:
- Jessica Simpson ‘Cally’ Sandal
- Tonal studs embellish a caged platform sandal fashioned from cracked metallic leather for a stunning look.
- Back zip closure.
- Wrapped heel and platform.
- Approx. heel height: 5″ with 1″ platform (comparable to a 4″ heel).
- Leather upper/synthetic lining/rubber sole.

I met Lesley Eccles (co-founder of FanDuel.com) from Scotland, and she was wearing the most divine red mary-jane heels, which I believe she said were from Revel (a UK brand). Not being able to find them online for purchase, I found some similar alternatives:
Sofft Corine in Red Hot/Red, $99.95 from Zappos.com
BP. Maddie Pump in Red Patent, $59.95 from Nordstrom.com
And if you want a brighter red…
Franco Sarto Essence in Red Suede, $88.95 from ShoeBuy.com
Demonia Vanity in Red Patent, $39.95 from ShoeBuy.com
