Multi-color Madness

These shoes are making me (almost) wish I wore a size 9!

They're golf shoes but you could take off the cleats and be good to go.

And only $26 on Etsy!  Someone get them and then tell me how you wear them

Checking all the Boxes

While we all adore and went a bit ga-ga cutesy over the Miu Miu spring collections, I'm just as smitten with the fall heels.

I love love LOVE these wingtip-inspired patent peep-toe heels. The color combination is gorgeous, they're mary janes and have a bow.

How can you resist?

Magic Shoes

I try not to rank the items in my wardrobe. When people ask me what are my favorite pair of shoes I usually say I can't pick just one because I love them all.

But these might be near the top.

I bought these Marc Jacobs peep-toes in 2005 on a business trip to Ohio. I went into the Nordstroms at this really nice open air mall and just instantly fell for them. I didn't even have room to pack them but I had to have them. I think I actually wore them out of the store.



They have such a great retro look to them but the colors are just so modern and fun. This is the Marc Jacobs I like. Some of his newer stuff, not so much.



Mixed materials in burgundy, purple and pink.

Because the shoes are so vibrant I wore a simple black pencil skirt with a kicky pleat in the back and a pink cami under a purple cardigan. This shade of purple is one of my favorites. I need to find more tops in it because I always get compliments when I wear the color.

(yes, I should have put some lipstick on for this!)

Since cleaning up my closets for Summer I'm determined to wear more of my existing shoes, so get ready for more pinks and whites. I have my new New York purchases to work in too, so I really need to get on the picture taking!

Getting in on the Latest Gossip

This is the second time I've been enticed into buying a pair of shoes that were worn on Gossip Girl. For someone who has never watched the show, I still get exposed to the fashion. Either I really really need to watch it because of the style or it would be much smarter for me to stay away because I could be lured into buying oh so much more.

I saw these cute Pour La Victoire Ophelie mary janes on Who What Wear and kind of had to have them!





There are a few color options but being a fan of grey sueded, I knew I had to stick with the ones worn on the show.



It's a slightly softer combo than the traditional black and white, which is why I liked it for a more summery look still in the running for NYC.

Cute detailing, huh?

It looks like kind of a brownish grey which I really like.

My second favorite color combo was the cherry & plum which was also really tempting. But I'm trying to resist!

This is a new brand for me. I'll have to see how comfy they are too and let you know. Anyone ever bought this brand before?

It's all in the Details

My outfit from yesterday, Wednesday, sounds pretty plain. A black skirt from Target and a black knit v-neck top from Ann Taylore with a pair of tan an brown heels. But in execution, this is an outfit I really like and feel good in.

The details are what take this blah to lovely. The skirt is actually a pretty standard A-line skirt but the wide delicate lace trim makes it floaty, mysterious and a little sexy.



When you walk the lace kind of billows around. I could wear this very dressy or in a business way but with the added touch to make it stand out. It's hard to believe this was an inexpensive Target find.



I paired this with one of my favorite pairs of heel. My Devlin tan and black wingtip spectators from Via Spiga. They have a sort of snubbed but pointy heel, a slight mary jane element and the mix of tan leather and black patent is super chic.



In the profile you can see the heel shape, which I am a sucker for. These shoes are one of my favorite interview shoes because they are classy yet different and they fit perfectly. They feel really secure and are the perfect height. They make me feel powerful. And what more could you want when you are interviewing.



This outfit sums up a pretty classic style for me - streamlined but with unique details to set it apart.
