Latest Shoe Haul + 10 Spring/Summer Shoes ($100 and Under)

Hello friends, time flies! I'm down to the last week of my vacation in China... But today, we are talking about shoes! I'm sharing with you my latest shoe purchases from Nordstrom Rack's Clear the Rack last month. I've also picked out 10 pairs of Spring/Summer shoes for you. And the best part? $100 and under!

Joie Alek Fringe Sandal (Currently $73.75 online, paid $55.31):
Material: Leather upper, lining and sole; Made in Italy; Size: IT 36.5

This is my second pair of Joie sandals. I got my first pair (right) last spring and it has been my go-to when I want something minimal and (a little) sexy. For the Alek sandal, I thought the plum color and the fringe would be great for fall (thinking ahead?). Both pairs are 3.75", which is the highest heel height I will go for nowadays. They are very comfortable considering the height!

Both of them are originally priced at $295, but you can always find them on sale. I got them from Nordstrom Rack for about $50 each (bargain!). I'm normally a US 6 or IT 36 and went with IT 36.5 in both. I love the zipper on the back for easy on and off. I was originally concerned if the upper strap (not adjustable, but has elastic band) would be too tight for my ankles, but it wasn't an issue. I highly recommend Joie shoes, especially at the sale price!.

Schutz Darby Lace-Up Sandal ($74.97 online, paid $44.99):
Material: Leather upper, lining and sole; Made in Brazil; Size: US 6

I've known about Schutz for a while. I liked their designs, but most of them have very high heels. When I came across this sandal in store, I was surprised that it was from Shutz. It's so versatile and can be easily dressed up or down. The kitten heel makes it a little bit dressier while still comfortable enough to walk around in all day. The Darby sandal also comes in dark greyThis pair from BP (right, $59.95) is very similar and also really cute.

I've also tried the high heel version of this in brown suede (online $129.97) in store, which also comes in olive green. The heel height (more than 4") is definitely too much for me, but the heel is made out of cork, so it's very lightweight.

Topshop Ivy Embellished Sandal (Sold out, paid $18.73):
Material: Leather and synthetic upper, synthetic lining and sole; Size: EU 36/US 5.5

I was over-the-moon excited when I came across this pair of pom pom sandals! I have been on the hunt for an affordable leather upper pair for a while, which was surprisingly hard to find. The pair I saw shopping in Texas was leather, but unfortunately not in my size. Nordstrom Rack started carrying a lot of Topshop shoes this year and I always look in the 5.5 section (I'm a EU 36/US 5.5). I found this pair in the size 5 section, which was the same aisle as 5.5.  This pair from BP ($69.95) is also really cute, but again not leather (see what I mean?). In my shoe picks below, I've found a few that are also leather upper and totally affordable!

I eventually returned the palm print pair (right) after I remember I bought this pair of Kate Spade Pineapple Slides earlier this year.

So that sums up all the shoes I purchased during Nordstrom Rack's Clear the Rack last month. Below, I'm sharing with you 10 pairs of shoes for Spring/Summer, $100 and under! These shoes are not only on trend, but also great quality so that they can last you until and even beyond next spring/summer. I'm a huge fan of the Halogen and BP brands at Nordstrom, because they certainly satisfy these two criteria.


  1. Topshop Rosetta Soft Knot Wraparound Sandal ($100)
  2. Kate Spade yellowstone t-strap jelly sandal ($98)
  3. Rebecca Minkoff Brandy Strappy Pump ($89.97)
  4. RAYE Calista Mule Sandal ($79.97): Similar Halogen ones in more colors ($89.95) and this Topshop pair with fringes ($85).
  5. Halogen Frances Ankle Wrap Sandal ($79.97)
  6. Kate Spade fanley t-strap sandal ($78)
  7. BP Maddy Mule ($69.95)
  8. Rebecca Minkoff Georgina Studded Sandal ($69.97)
  9. ASOS FRESH Wide Fit Leather Pom Tie Leg Sandals ($51): Unfortunately, this only has wide fit left, but these multi-color ($56) and metallic ($60) pairs from River Island are similar and I also love this slip-on pair ($45). 
  10. BP Twiny Slip-On Sneaker ($39.95)
Thank you for stopping by and have a nice day! :)
