I would pick this bag

And these gorgeous shoes

gorgeous picks. How comfortable are these shoes exactly? I never have luck with shoes and I just know I'd get some and then throw them to the back of the closet because they were uncomfortable or something.

I saw the purses at Saks the other day. I was really surprised at how BAD the quality was. The black tulita I was looking at had stiff plasticy looking leather, and one of the seams in the front was coming apart! The shoes rock though.

uh... comfort? what's that?

these shoes aren't meant to be comfortable, honey

I didn't think so Detroit. So how do you get over the pain?

well, I don't personally own any Choos, but I do have Louboutin's, Manolo's, Gucci's and Prada's. As with any stiletto shoe, I don't wear them if I'm going to be on my feet all day. I will wear them during the day if I know I will be sitting for the large majority of the day, or I wear them out at night. I have been known to discreetly slip my shoes off under the table at a restaurant or bar if they start getting to me (but that's only happened with shoes of lower end brands - none of my high-end brands.)

I have already had my Choo spree this year! Not terribly exciting, but I got:

In bright pink (when I want to dress up my sundresses for dinner or something):

In black, which is great for dressier nights and also for certain work outfits:

I have a white pleated bag with gold hardware from last year. You know, i find the leather to be sort of papery. That was disappointing. Still a badass bag, but i won't get another.

Oh - about comfort, I have never ever ever had a comfort issue with Choos, and I have several pairs including boots. These, as you can see, are not very high, so it's almost moot. My boots are high, but they are like a glove and I could walk for ages in them. I think a good shoe that you don't have to force to fit you (unlike the Blahink boots I tried to pretend were my size) - one that is all leather so it molds to your foot - will be fairly comfy in the end. I have MUCH better luck with Choos than Blahniks. My fave Blahniks would be great except they placed a seam in the most bizarre spot in the heel and I have to wear a bandaid to prevent blisters every time I put them on.
