Shoe Thoughts + Delicious Hamburger Stew

I've found some shoe hits and misses from 2015 that I haven't shared yet so here's a quick and random mix of shoe musings:

1. My summer sandals are breaking and I'm so sad! I've been looking for a replacement since last year and hope to find one this summer! I've noticed I'm moving away from the beloved flip-flops I used to always wear to more structured sandals over the past few years.


2. Jack Roger's 'Lauren' Sandals are so cute but weren't comfortable in the front for me and were just a tad too long in the foot but they are definitely beautiful. If they were super comfy, I definitely would have loved to keep.
 

3. Fei Yue's Fe Lo Mesh Sneaker is exactly what I was looking for in a summer sneaker that's cute and easy to match with yet breathable. :)


4. Vince Camuto's 'Carlotte' Pointy Toe Pump is super cute so I debated a bit but they're a bit too big to keep. :(



Here's a super delicious hamburger stew/soup recipe that is perfect for the middle of this chilly winter because it warms you right down to your toes:
