So….

I used to occasionally blog on another site “Notta Purse Girl” in my very “spare” time. “Spare,” not because I lack free time, but because I can tend to be lazy when I get home from work.  Anyway, I am going to mosey my random shoe musings this-a way. I cannot guarantee I will blog with any regularity or that my grammar will be tolerable; I am a biologist, not an English major! But (<-already with the bad grammar) I will always be weird, funny, and at least a little entertaining.  With that I begin…

As I do every morning, I was sneakily perusing the Rue La La sales at work and I noticed some inspiring sandals by Yves Saint Laurant.

I was struck by the the simple but thoughtful design elements that composed the sandal. The way that the leather is cut and curved, reinforcing the other straps (Yes, I am aware that I am just talking about sandals) was very well executed.

It is always my belief that mindful design deserves acknowledgement, and this is a good representation of that philosophy. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love a hot pink jelly sandal as much as the next girl but when someone has spent time making a design elegant (like a calculus problem, not like an evening shoe) than I am impressed. Hats off YSL.
