A first here on Groomed L.A.  SHOES!  Yup, after spending a week hopping on and off Target.com awaiting the debut of the coveted Cynthia Vincent for Target line (so blech and cheapie looking when I finally got a good look at them that I'm not even posting a link… maybe the multi-color ballet flats are cute) I realized, wow, that's a lot of beauty blogging hours I've spent in search of a pair of budget pups.  And that's when I realized, you're never fully groomed until you have that great pair of shoes on!  Hence Groomed L.A. is stretching it's wings to include shoes and of course that might even mean…bags too. Whoo-hoo! That is the complete package from head to toes right?  So stay tuned for that.  But for now, I'm excited to share with you these two pairs of amazing wedges I just went ga-ga for.

I was walking on West Third Street the other day and popped into Polka-dots and Moonbeams and saw a pair of super budget ($49!), super cute Chinese Laundry Fuschia summery wedge sandals which looked so sexy on my feet and were so totally comfy, but the only prob was that the last pair in my size had a pen mark on them. Grunt!

So I went home, hopped on the CHINESE LAUNDRY website and started poking around. Remember this brand from days gone by?  Time for a refresher course!  Fishing though the site I fell in love with more than one pair of shoes. Check out these SHANTEL sandals.  I am all about budget everything right now and cute shoes for under a hundred dollars are so up my alley I can't even tell you.  

These are the two pairs I got.  The only problem was, what color to get the DRESDEN in?!   I chose the purple but now I'm thinking I should have gone for the Desert Ivy.  Then again, for $100, I might just spring for both!

I also went summer slap happy for the INONIA in Fuschia.
