Neon, neon

I haven't worn this JCrew skirt nearly enough. I love the bright, almost neon, pink of the sequins. How they swish and move and reflect the light.

I paired it with a simple black top and then bookended it with Sophia Webster Daria slingbacks with the black cap and the neon orange and pink patterned straps and heels.

And this clutch just arrived from Kate Spade. The Kiss Me, You Fool clutch is a part of the "On Purpose" collection and I just love it.  I wish I'd had it to wear with the skirt and heels.

I almost never wear my midsize bags any more. It's all about the clutch and Kate Spade does do the best whimsical clutches around.

You'll be seeing this a lot come Spring.

When Good Designers Go Bad

I do not know what is going on over there at Stella McCartney's offices but I think they are losing their minds.

Last season I was loving on their neon pink satin platform heels and t-strap pumps but now all the love has gone far far away. Maybe someone took an Epcot trip or they saw documentary or something because there is no way these designs have their roots in a real cultural experience.

And I appreciate the vegan materials, but sometimes it is better to just not create. Don't waste the plastic and cheap denim.

These woven nylon pumps ($595) have to be made out of old bags and twist-ties.




And the prices are astronomical. $500, $600.... okay, I guess. $1000 +? Um, No.

No, these are not from the Daisy Duke/Paris Hilton/Jessica Simpson collection. And yes, they are $1195.



And these.... I don't even know what to say. I'm sure they're supposed to look all elegant tribal, but they just look like they weigh 5 pounds and I know that heel cup would end up under my foot and kill me.

Plus, they're $1165. $1165!!!!

Leave this mess alone.
