How amazing are these cage shoes from Cesare Paciotti?
On a hunt for cage shoes after wearing a bone -colored pair of my own, I found these most gorgeous shoes on the planet.
Immediately, I’m converting the cost into hours worked because these are shoes that will visit me in my dreams.
How hot do you think they’d look with my standard mommy-issue yoga pants?
Right. Damn good.
I love printed denim, and these Current/Elliott jeans are so printed and so denim. And yellow is almost neutral, which means you can wear them with anything.
And you’d have to at $218 a pop… for not blue jeans. Well, anyway, they are still cute and I still want them.
And don’t even get me started on that Hermès watch…
Slide sandals have come back. Not that they were ever totally gone, but I had the most fabulous pair about 12 years ago. A butter, soft black leather pair with a bit of a platform heel. I loved those sandals.
But like any good pair of slides you’ve ever owned, you wear them enough and they start to fall apart at the seams. Literally. The top started separating from the bottom. (This was prior to my understanding of cobblers.)
So check these out. They are a cross between the casual flip flop and sky-high, hot date sandals. And they even tie in that espadrille thing we were discussing the other day. (Here, if you missed it!) Great choice of colors, nice designer brand, and even better… nice price!
If you like flowers and all things floral, spring is your season. Are there are no shortage of items on the market for those that beautify themselves and their home with blooms. Here’s a smattering of fun apparel items and accessories, as well as home decor and more. And if something, strikes your fancy, find out where to procure it on Polyvore.com!
I saw this outfit on one of my favorite blogs, FashionScanner.onsugar.com, and just had to post it.
In fact, Antonio Berardi’s Fall Collection for 2012 is altogether pretty amazing.
I love all the rich fabrics and textures, and of course, I adore the color turquoise. Don’t ask me where I would wear this, but it’d be nice to look at in my closet every day!

Finally, sandals that are comfortable AND beautiful!
Here I am on the tail end of my 30′s (cough, cough) and it’s been eight whole years since I have daily, worn fabulous 4″ heels to work, while trotting around San Francisco’s financial district.
Where has the time gone? And more importantly, where has my ability to wear beautiful shoes with leg-lengthening heels for extended periods of time gone? I guess the old adage “use it, or lose it” applies rather well in this case.
So today, when I was lured in by an email from Piperlime.com to check out their sandal collection, I couldn’t resist. Much to my surprise, brands like Sofft and Kork-Ease actually make really fashion-forward shoes these days!
Here are some of my picks:
Kork-Ease Sarah Regular Price, piperlime.com $165
YOU by Crocs Thrilita, piperlime.com $130
Indigo by Clarks Luna Comet, piperlime $110
Sofft Palaiseau, piperlime.com $115

I am always on the hunt for a great dress – as you can see by the endless number of posts I’ve done on “the dress.”
This week, I have run across two of the most UH-MAZING, and dare I say simple in the most fantastic way, dresses. And fondly enough, they were both worn to the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.
One is this navy leather shift by 3.1 Phillip Lim. The leather is so butter-soft looking, and really lets you highlight gorgeous gams because of its simplicity. It looks great here with strappy sandals, but imagine it with some fierce knee boots!

And what’s not to absolutely love about this Louis Vuitton frock? Elegant, simple, totally wearable for any body type and another great way to show off fabulous footwear. Although the shoes are positively covet-worthy, I probably would’ve worn it with chunky gold to pump up the stunning emerald color – buuuuut Rooney didn’t ask me to be her stylist that day… her loss.

Rupert Sanderson peep toe high heels, $695
Sondra Roberts satin clutch, $98

Diamond bangle, $75,150

Looking Parisian-chic in stripes should be a cinch this season. Anything and everything you could ever want can be found in stripes. And this adorable blazer is no exception. It has a great fit, it’s a great weight for spring and summer, and it looks great with every color under the sun.
My Banana Republic happens to be next door to Ann Taylor, where there is also an adorable red knit dress that I would love to wear with it for going out or a day at the office. But throw it on with jeans and a bright yellow tee, and you have a cute “around town” outfit. Or choose kelly green boyfriend chinos and a denim shirt for a business casual Friday and shopping with your best girls. The possibilities are endless! (See Polyvore.com for where to buy.)
One jacket, three ways!
Have you seen the 2012 Spring/Summer collection from Gucci. It’s gorgeous. Sleek, modern, classic, elegant – you name it, they’ve done it. Here are a few of my favorites. What are yours?
Gucci GG Bamboo-Print Triangle Top, Neimanmarcus.com $550
My favorite color and the style will showcase those hard-earned shoulders and arms!
Gucci Asymmetric Dress, NeimanMarcus.com $1450
Who doesn’t love green? Especially in the Spring, when you’ve spent the last 4-6 months dying to see signs of life outside. I love the flowy style – which can be great to cover things you didn’t work so hard on…
Gucci 1970 Medium Shoulder Bag, Neimanmarcus.com $3590
What can I even say about this? It’s just beautiful. beautiful. beautiful. And not anywhere near this girl’s budget.
Gucci Delphine Mid-Heel Ankle-Strap Sandal, Neimanmarcus.com $675.00
I feel like these shoes scream, “Studio 54!” Now, I’m too young to have ever been there in its heyday, but there’s this sexy 70′s vibe with the mirrored wedge heel, and the black toe makes them scream, “Sophistication!”
What collections are you into this year? And more importantly, which ones are you going to try to emulate by wearing affordable knock-offs?
