the antidote for the late summer blues

I just saw an orange leaf.
I think I’m traumatized.
I need something to convince me it’s still summertime!  I need more long, hot days - more time to drink iced coffee on patios - I don’t want to have to wear a jacket yet!

Ah, that’s better…

pom-poms on your toes

Okay ladies, I need your opinion please…

Marc by Marc Jacobs “Fuxia Crosta” suede high heel
Pom poms on toes - yea, or nay?
I’m not thrilled with them so far, but it may be something that needs to grow on you…
So what’s your take?

Paris Hilton makes wearable shoes?

When I first heard that Paris Hilton was designing shoes, I shuddered… and then completely forgot about.  Until I was browsing through Zappos and came across these charming patent leather “Chino” flats:

They’re wearable…
And pretty…
And not the hooker shoe monstrosity I was expecting!  Now, not all the shoes in the collection thrill me, but I was […]

Metallic envelope clutch purse

Maison Martin Margiela isn’t helping my obsession with metallic & irridescent coated leathers:

I know that is kind of looks like a chunk of abused aluminum, but this coated leather “metallic envelope” clutch purse still fills me with longing :-)

carved heels from Betsey Johnson

Heel accents & details are so hot right now - the carved heel of the “Denim Cholita” shoe from Betsey Johnson is a new take on the trend though:

Plus - all those little flowers are too cute :-)

Windflower purse

I think this wee little evening bag is lovely, whether closed…

Or open:

It’s the “Windflower” purse by Judith Leiber, covered with Austrian crystals.
Of course, at over $4500 it’s a little out of my budget for the month :-)

Camo from Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton

Okay, I give up - apparently camouflage has made it into the ranks of the elite designers…
Marc Jacobs has teamed up with Japanese designer, Takashi Murakami, to create a new collection for Louis Vuitton… the catch?  The collection (dubbed “Monogramouflage”) is a combination of the iconic LV monogram… and, you guessed it - camouflage.
You can […]

obi belts from the Smoking Lily

I think this silk obi belt from Smoking Lily is just too wonderful:

I think it would be a great way to add a little bit of feminine glamor to almost any outfit. How awesome would that look with a pair of dark-wash jeans, peep toes and a crisp, white blouse?
Also cool?
Smoking […]

camouflage patent leather heels?

 No, just no…

 Camouflage patent leather high heel slingbacks by Manolo Blahnik???
I can’t think of an occasion that would require camouflage and high heels - a formal assault party, perhaps?
Combats & canapes?
