I’m writing this post with one hand today. Why? Because this girl fell on the ice and fractured her elbow.
That’s right, just two blocks from my house I slipped and used my pointiest body part to cushion my fall. I will have you know I was wearing sneaks with traction and not heels. So far in my life, heels have never let me down. Sneakers? You’re starting to be on my shit list.
It was an altruistic journey out of our house though. After being locked in for four days, we thought it was nice enough to go for a walk. This is why I don’t train for marathons, look what happens when I try to go for a nice nature walk on frozen sidewalks in ill-equipped footwear. I’m not chancing it. All that to say, outside of showering and outfit photos, I’ll be rocking a sling. Anyone have a bedazzler I can borrow?
Speaking of footwear, I decided enough with traction today I’m going with these heels, thanks to Sole Society. At least for a few hours anyways, until I realize it’s futile and I put flats back on. Flats with traction. Sigh.
I call this the “the heels I wish I was wearing instead of flats” collection from Sole Society. Enjoy:

1. The post on my blog today is called Black and Blue too – so in my mind it's now confirmed that we would totally be friends if we ever met
2. Love this look (as usual) and if anyone can make a sling look effortless it's certainly you

Love the look! Hoping your elbow "heels" quickly!! (Pun intended)

Oh no! Well can I just say, I'd love to see how you rock your clothes with your sling. Is that weird? Idk, maybe you pick different clothing, or you pose a different way. Would be interesting to see the thought process involved.
Sneakers are not attractive and apparently dangerous!
Oh my! I hope you're icing {ironic?} your arm and drinking lots of hot chocolate with extra marshmallows! Love your blue look! 🙂
At least you were able to turn it into a good instagram moment! I've been tipping around parking lots here in Ohio for days, I'm bound to fall soon or later.
Great look and in love with that jacket.
I'm in favor of bedazzling the sling and rocking it in your outfit photos. I bet it's only a matter of time before slings are "in." Make it happen.

Ouch! I'm sorry that happened to you. Your sweater is cute.
Oh that sounds awful! Love your black & blue combo though!
great shades of blue combined with black! I'm in love with the purse.

Your ass looks AMAZING in these jeans. Get well soon.
Oh my goodness!! I'm so sorry Kendie, I almost did some falling myself. That ice out there really is treacherous!!! Sorry you got hurt, but at least you look fab as always! 🙂
At least once a year I slip on ice and hurt myself. I, literally, feel your pain! Very cute outfit! Hey, at least you look fab!

Poor you!! Hope you heal quickly !!!! This won't help you at all but the other day at the NIke store my husband found a great pair of super traction casual nice shoes with fleece lining…great for guys…women…eh I would try something else : ) I finally was able to get a flight out of Dallas, but while I was stuck in town bc of weather I noticed the sidewalks were quite sanded..I rubbed the bottoms of my wedge sneakers in that to try & get a bit more traction…worked in a pinch situation!

I saw your Instagram! Hope you're healing and feeling better… Sneakers, I knew they were good for nothing little fu—dgers.

Love the shoes.

ohhh feeling better already! 😉
Trust you, Kendi, to turn a personal tragedy into a hilarious blog post! Wishing you a speedy recovery! 🙂
I'm sorry to hear about your fall… I do stuff almost as bad as this constantly. I always end up with bruises and have no idea where they came from. My short term memory isn't large enough to remember all of the times I run into something, so who knows where the bruises come from! haha
Your hair looks like it has blue in it!!! Does it? It looks fabulous!
Much love for this <3

Hi Kendi! Hope you have a speedy recovery. I feel your pain, i am quite a klutz myself, getting mystery bruises, etc. Take care of yourself!
ohhh girl! I saw that sling of yours on instagram. I had to laugh a little because I've had 4/5 ice-inflicted injuries pop up in my feed. Damn that ice! Get better soon!

Oh no! How long does it take to heal? 🙁 I hope it feels better and you start wearing good footwear, miss. Boots, maybe!?

Definitely one of my favorite color combos!
See… winter is just NOT a good thing!!
I mean, if it was still icy and snowy, you wouldn't be able to wear those insanely killer heels.

Something About That
I bet you can make some really beautiful slings out of scarves! I'm so sorry to hear you got hurt, and I pray you heal quickly!
Oh no, I am so sorry to hear you got hurt! I hope you recover quickly! How long will it take to heal? You are so awesome to dress to match your sling, though! 🙂
Oh no, so sorry to hear you fractured your elbow! I hope it heals quickly and you're not in too much pain!

Christmas is coming, the latest michael kors bag here, good price quality, introduced to everyone

That's awful! Hope all heals well! Heels never fail, every time I get a serious injury, I'm usually barefoot or have flats on, so I blame all of those times on not wearing heels, too.

Ouch, I hope you gell well, soon.
Please do not start to wear a sling with black feathers like Mariah. I think she looked like The Crow meets Glitter.
baha, done. I promise to not wear my feathered sling
This is very pretty! Love your shoes!
I'm been into navy a lot lately as well. I just posted about this great sale on H&M.com and two of my favorite finds were great navy coats for $30 and $40 when they were originally $50-$70!

oh no! ice is the worst 🙁 it always gets me on my butt at least once a winter! hope you heal up soon…dressing yourself (and basically all everyday tasks) become so much harder when you only have one good arm!
I would just like to say your hair looks amazing in these photos!
Very sorry to hear of your fall, but i love your sense of humor about it. : ) I also love these sole society shooties but, alas, it is only 1 degree outside this morning and I can't justify the purchase yet. I'll keep dreaming, you keep healing that elbow.
Your pointiest body part. Hahaha!
you look great! and so does your figure!
🙂
Look at you classy lady! That jacket is so absolutely perfect.
