While browsing through my favorite sites this morning, I ran across this lovely gem at Olive shoes by LD Tuttle:
I can’t say exactly what it is, I mean, there’s two change purses attached to both sides of a leather “strap.” After I thought about it for a sec, I realized you can probably wear it exactly like a handbag – with the strap over your shoulder and the change purses hang down on either side of your body. This could be complicated unless you balance the weights correctly, but an interesting idea anyway.

I first wrote about LD Tuttle back in 2006 for a “New Designers” feature I wrote. Well, obviously, they’re not so new anymore and I’m proud to report that the design has evolved over the years from the original bright, 80′s inspired looks to edgy, more mature shoes & accessories. One of my favorites for Fall is the Shifter boot:
It’s very cool as an ankle boot, but even cooler tall! (I love that a shoe can multi-task better than me!). This one is available at Olive Shoes, where you can take 15% off with code “grechen15.”
Another great boot from LD Tuttle is the black patent “Nebula” style, which has a “built-in” sock (also available at Olive Shoes):
These are my favorites by far, but check out this list of online boutiques that sell LD Tuttle for more shoes, boots and accessories.
