fashion & comfort in a flat shoe

I’m going to be spending an awful lot of time on my feet this summer - I’m teaching a series of art camps.  I need a shoe that’s going to be comfortable & supportive from 7am to 5pm… as well a shoe that still looks pretty.

I think that the charming mary-jane flat “Millie […]

Call Me Betsey

No, you can’t call me Betsey - that’s the name of this whimsical handbag from Betsey Johnson!

It’s not the handbag for a dressy dinner out, or for a night at the opera - but at only $65 it’s a reasonable price for a fun purse that’s perfect for showing your sense of humor :-)

Bibarucci bracelet from Tarina Tarantino

I love the bright colors & enthusiasm of designer Tarina Tarantino - but she has a wide range of designs that are elegant and restrained… or at least as restrained as leopard print can be :-)
This is her resin and metal “Bibarucci” bracelet, inspired by designers Barbara “Biba” Hulanicki and Elio Fiorucci:

my new wicker purse

You’ll have to excuse a little bit of giddiness from me today…

This arrived for me this morning!
Now, I know I don’t need another purse, but I couldn’t resist :-)
I don’t know a whole lot about the purse, other than it’s vintage wicker, made in Hong Kong.  I bought it from Covenant Garden Vintage on Etsy.  […]

Save the Bees necklace (and look cute wearing it)

 I think this acrylic necklace from Brookadelphia is very charming - but it also has a message…

Did you know that there is a world-wide problem with Colony Collapse Disorder?  It essentially means that bees are dying and scientists don’t really know why.   Bees are useful little creatures and besides that, they’re cute :-)  Wear […]
