It is not often in my life that I admit defeat. I’m an obstinate bugger, I tell ya. But my foray into the world of Chie Mihara has changed me.

It’s a slippery slope, kids. You buy one pair, and suddenly you have to have more of them immediately…… They’re like crack….crack for your feet!!
Crack is whack, yo. (RIP Whitney Houston).
Thank goodness Valentine’s Day was there as my scapegoat. And thank goodness for my man MacGyver. Nothing says love more than a pair of Chie Miharas….ooh, except maybe an Anthro card. Yep, either one would do just fine.
Anyway… I officially tobogganed on down that slippery Chie Mihara slope, and was gifted these awesome NINAS on the way. Chie is my hero. NEVER. STOP. MAKING. SHOES. YO. K? K.
Many of you have kindly left me comments about my last post (thanks so much!), and several ladies have asked for help styling specific items. I’m excited to play with your challenging items, and I promise I will get to at least one request a week. Maybe more.
First up? Anthroconsabor.
I had fun playing with the Tile Quilted Mini Skirt for Anthroconsabor. This little ditty doesn’t reside in my closet, therefore I had to Polyvore the heck out of her.
Here’s the results. Anthroconsabor, you dig? Click on my Polyvore on the right sidebar for item specifics.

Can all of them be my favorite?! Hadn’t paid mug attention to this skirt before, but with all these styling opportunities before me it looks mighty appealing…

What is a ggod site to order Chie's From?
Thanks
Alli
I really like pedshoes.com
Hi Ali! Yes like Kristin mentioned, Pedshoes carries Chies. I ordered my pair of “Pointed Light Oxfords” from Pedshoes.com because they carried them in a size 41…Anthro only carries Chies up to a size 40. However, I have ordered all the rest straight from Chie Mihara online because no one in the US carried the colors and styles I wanted. The Chie staff is fabulous…very easy to work with. I had many email exchanges and two phone conversations with Santi. He is the contact for online sales. The shoes arrive straight from Spain in 3 days! Pretty amazing. The only down-side is having to pay the high shipping cost. Endless.com carries them of course, and ships for free, but they didn’t have the styles/colors I wanted. I would check Pedshoes first and Endless (and Anthro) to see if they have the model and size you want, but I’ve had nothing but great experience with ordering straight from Chie. If your bank won’t allow foreign purchases online, you can arrange for them to hold the shoe you want and they can call you to do the purchasing. That’s what I had to do. Hope this was helpful! Feel free to ask any other questions. I’m happy to help.
I have been eyeing some on gravitypope- they don't go on sale much, but they have some different selection!
I think set 4 is my favorite, but the options in set 7 are a close second! =)
love all of the sets….i have been wanting this little skirt and i can't find it anymore, any thoughts anyone on where i ccan get it?? and the shoes i ould not agree more addictive, all so fabulous and aMazingly comfy!
Which pair did you end up getting?
i got the ionas, a different colorwaY but just as fantastic!! now i have my eyes on a few more pair too, they are so great looking but the comfort is amazing….as a mama of 5 i am running around and on my feet all day and these were like wearing comfy bedroom slippers!! i agree that the service is great, i also worked with santi!!
I find that shoes in general can be a slippery slope, my friend. A slippery slope, indeed.
Set 2 and 3 are my favs.
Thanks for weighin in! I think 1, 5, and 7 (the one on the left) are mine.
I, too, have the tile quilted mini and have been looking for styling options. Thank you!!!!
You're so welcome! Glad they could help you out!
Yep, I can relate:) I might have to un-like Chie Mihara on facebook because every time I log in I see another pair of shoes that I can't live without (seriously, have you seen these? http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=3548012712… – hopefully that link works. Ah, pink and mint? Love.). I am saving my pennies right now because I'm taking a trip to Paris in a couple of months and I'm hoping to do a little shoe shopping there:) I love your new pair – excellent V-day gift.
You and Kristin (Lovely Apidae) have really opened up my eyes to the wonderful world of Chie. I just love ' em!
I love your stylings. The third one is my favorite. Did you get my email with my styling request?
Hi Chloe!
First, thanks! And second, yes, I got your email and I will be working on some stylings for you with those cool, funky tights! Thanks so much for sending in a request!
mmmm…count me in to your addiction fan club. Can I allow myself a pair a season? That seems like the least I can do!!
Love these styling sets- I almost nuttily bought this skirt online last week in absolutely not my size! I would really like to find the long green version though…
Oh those Chies are totally addictive. I am up to eight pairs and am oogling three more on Pedshoes. A few Chie hints…Lord and Taylor carries a few and they often have 20% off and when they go on sale with an additional percent off they are a real *bargain*. My local Her Tern shoe store has advised that Chie will custom make a shoe in a specific color combo based on what her merchant feels will sell well! Cannot wait to see what they get in stock in the coming weeks…
Molly, Thank you thank you for all these styling options! I have so many of the items you paired this skirt with and had no idea how well they go together. Can't wait to rip the price tag off and show it off. And by the way, I seriously have a Chie Mihara addiction, I just can't get enough! on.their.website.every.day.
So glad you liked the sets. That skirt was so fun to play around with! May have to hunt down the longer version now….thanks a lot!! ha. I know…Chie is going to send me to the poor house. At least my feet will be comfy on the way there….
