Dear Ms. Shoes and Cocktails,
Here’s a picture of my new shoes. I need to build an outfit around them, and a signature drink. I heart them.
Sincerely,
Ms. Z

Dear Ms. Z,
These shoes are très chic! I love the unique “cognac” color. In fact, the shoes themselves are quite unusual, especially the over-sized button detail. You know the thing I love about unusual shoes? They can turn a very usual outfit into something special. For the work day, you can wear the same black shirt and plain, old cardigan. Add these shoes and an over-sized necklace (gold would be a lovely compliment to caramel color), and you’ve got a spectacular outfit. Plus, you’ll also be dressed and ready for that last minute happy hour.
When I’m having drinks after work, I’m usually in the Penn Quarter. One place in the neighborhood, that has delicious cocktails bold enough to compliment these pumps, is Oyamel. I need to meet the mixologist over there because the specialty drinks rotate. I had a mango cocktail with a jalapeno infusion awhile back. Spicy goodness. It is no longer there, but the same, fine ingredients such as agave nectar and tropical fruit juices are.
Finally, I’m still one for heels on the weekend. Pair these darlings with dark denim, and you’ll be ready for dinner and a movie or a Sunday afternoon brunch.
Thanks for sharing!

Shoes & Cocktails 
Ms. S&C –
Have you checked out Ma Petite Shoe in Hampden, Baltimore? Its a funky little house shop that is full of shoes and CHOCOLATE! I know its not cocktails – but they are two of my favorite things in the world. Plus, you can always use some spiced fair-trade chocolates to make a delish after dinner spike hot cocoa? http://www.mapetiteshoe.com

What a great selection of super-cute vegan footwear over at Ma Petite Shoe. I know where to look the next time I need eco-friendly ideas! Thanks for sharing!
