I visited The Metropolitan Museum a few weeks ago to see the Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology exhibit with my Mother while she was in town for a girl's weekend. We spent the rest of our afternoon wandering the sculpture halls at the Met. Afterwards, we walked over to Bergdorf's for dessert and tea.
In honor of Spring traditions, I decided to visit the New York Botanical Garden for their annual Orchid show. Last year's visit to the NYBG Orchid Show was so magical, I could not wait to return! It gave me the perfect excuse to wear my vintage insect brooches that I recently picked up from the Brooklyn Flea.
When I find a style that I love, I seem to buy it up in every color... my Ferragamo Vara Bow pumps are no exception! They are the perfect walking shoe, while still remaining chic with a little heel. A style so classic that it is still being re-designed today in fun new colors and materials. While I love admiring the new designs, I love collecting the vintage pairs even more... there's something about "the hunt" when it comes to finding a vintage item that is much more rewarding for me. I usually come across a few pairs in various colors on eBay, be careful to select the correct width! Vintage Ferragamo shoes can range from narrow (A) to wide (C), I am usually a medium width (B). Visit a few of my past posts where I styled my White Ferragamo Vara Pumps, my Black Ferragamo Vara Pumps and my Pink Ferragamo Vara Pumps also here and here.
There are some classic styles that I have fallen in love with, and this only leads to buying them up in every color. Among my vintage Ferragamo shoe collection, the Vara pumps are my absolute favorite. I recently found these never-worn vintage pumps in white! The little grosgrain bow finished off with gold hardware and the one inch heel is so flattering. Salvatore Ferragamo still makes the Vara style today, I have always lusted after the patent pastel styles and more recently the perforated leather styles.
