This spring I'm most excited for oversized sheer menswear tops over dainty shorts, body-con dresses, and high-waisted jeans. I'm feeling very ShopNasty in my attempt to fit into the LA street style scene. 
Here are some shoes I'm lusting...

1. I might feel like an uber-tranny in these heels with my long sleeve Kimberly Ovitz mini, but I'll have the boys right where I want them... Christopher Kane leather platform sandals, $650
2. This is the true meaning of how the term Mulatto came to mean utter beauty and perfection. Half boot, half sandal; half black, half white; half man, half woman. Oh my! Can we say Michael Jackson? Alexander Wang open-back suede ankle boots, $650
3. Are these shoes new? It seems like Saks had an inventory issue from 1997 and they're trying to pawn off their old white espadrille flats on us dubious customers. Exactly why I'm coveting these! Throw them on with denim cut-offs and a vintage T and, well, you're right back to where you want to be... 11 years old, pre- bat-mitzvahed, with long blonde hair and stick skinny legs. Dreaming... Ralph Lauren Collection crocheted lace-up espadrilles, $250

4. Leopard is usually synonymous with stand-alone statement. Not these! The muted hue and walkable-friendly wedge make these sandals an easy go-to. Alice + Olivia animal print canvas wedge sandal, $245
5. Ok, fine. You have to dress "normal" today. Dinner with the in-laws, job interview, corporate meeting. Buzzkill! At least in these classic Atwood's your legs will do all the talking: love me! hire me! promote me! give me a raise since I spent $700 on these! We vote for Brian. Why? Because Nate Berkus says so (whom I just had the pleasure of working with...shameless self-promotion to come in a few days). Brian Atwood Martina patent leather platform pumps, $685

6. I don't think perfection needs an explanation. Christian Louboutin glitter-covered leather peep toe pumps, $795
