Imagine our delight upon discovering that one of our favorite online shopping sites, Net-a-Porter.com, is having a MASSIVE sale at this very moment. We quickly jumped on the shoe sale section of the site (in the name of research and work, of course) and nearly passed out with excitement at what we discovered: Just about every shoe we have been trying to rationalize buying over the past few months is up on there and for sale. (Deep breaths, deep breaths. Calm. Okay.) The sandals we dreamed about buying last January? 30% off. The heels we came thisclose to using for our summer shoot? Also 40% off. (Yes, we are clearly fans of Lanvin up in these parts, and yes, we know: Even with the discounts, these shoes are still a wee bit pricey. But we consider these investments, not just shoes, and you should, too.)

We don’t know about you, but our “What perfect summer shoe do we wear with this perfect summer dress?” conundrum has just been solved.
