Must Have Now: Bensimon Shoes

imageBack in May, I spent a long weekend in NYC and after hours of running around town trying to keep up with my New Yorker friends, my Los Angeles sandals just weren’t cutting it. I popped into Madewell in Soho, looking for an affordable pair of shoes that would save my feet. I was in luck. Madewell had just started carrying the affordable French it-girl favorite, Bensimon shoes. They were stocked in a few styles (lace-up, pull-on and high-top) and several faded nautical colors, I spent a good 30 minutes trying them all on to see which matched my outfit better. I finally settled on a faded black pull-on pair and wasn’t disappointed, I was able to run and catch up with my friends (who had ditched me during my shopping indecision), continue to trek around the city and didn’t bat an eye when the heels came on for dancing the night away. This summer, these shoes have been my go-to. They look great with jeans, shorts, and are the perfect accessory to dress down a floral mini dress. For the perfect très chic Parisian look, I pair them with a boatneck striped marinière shirt and skinny jeans.

Summer is coming to a slow, over-heated close, and if you don’t have a pair of Bensimon shoes in your closet, ready and waiting to transition to your fall wardrobe, you must buy them now. I’ll be adding a pair of the high-tops to my wardrobe to switch off with my faded black pull-ons and counting the days until it’s cold enough for me to pair them with skinny cords, oversized sweaters and scarves… let’s be honest, I’ll be counting the days until it’s cool enough to go outside again, period.
