Happy Week to you!

Imitation = Flattery?

I happened to go into DSW today as a part of my black patent espadrille shoe search and noticed these shoes.

They are from the Miss America collection and called "Izzy".  I find it interesting that a brand that requires the contestants meet their "character criteria" (which mainly seems to be, from what I can find, not being married or having a child), is not above stealing the designs of another brand.

Because when I saw the above, I immediately recognized the source: Tabitha Simmons "Betsy" Sandal from Spring/Summer 2010.

No congeniality awards will be given here.

As much as I love heels, I can be a smitten kitten for penny loafers, tassles, and saddle shoes.  And these Rachel Antonoff for Bass designs are perfection!

Red and white heart loafers!

Patent saddle shoes!

Hello kitty!  Yes, I do want you shiny white loafers with red tassled bows.

The heeled saddle shoes in pink and white and the florals are to die for. 

Right now I seem to have about 7 pairs that I must get!  But you can see the full lookbook on the the Bass Loves Rachel Antonoff page.

It's going to be a saucy spring.  I can't wait.

Oh, and follw Bass Love RA on Twitter too.

Raising Eyebrows?

Not sure if I'm getting predictable or if the people I'm around are becoming desinsitized to me but I wore some slightly "out there" outfits (comparatively, for NC) and no one batted an eye.

Is this a good thing or what? I'm not sure.

The outfit I wore with my glitter heels and TokyoMade Chapter ring what otherwise kind of basic:

Then on Friday I wore a stripey jacket, my derby and saddle shoes (wish I could have worn my Viktor & Rolf paperclip eyelashes too).

Today I went out for lunch (and vintage shopping... more on that later...) and wore a shiny silver skirt, sequin Chucks, my boater, a green top with my parasol and a vintage straw purse.

Okay, so maybe these aren't too out there but they were fun.

I've tried to stick to a palette but I just can't do it. I love too many colors! And glitter! And sequins! And vintage! I know there are some things I don't wear and pieces and colors I wear more than others but I'm just trying to enjoy what I buy. Hopefully it will last and hopefully I won't get bored by it. That's becoming more of a goal for me. I'm sort of all over the place but that's okay.... Right?
