Shoe Lust

And it returns: my attraction to all shoes perforated!!

Nine West Ilona
J.Crew Qurra
And my favorite - Coach Grand





PSA: J.Crew Online Factory Store

Happy Friday, Happy Springtime and Happy Shopping! The J.Crew online factory store is open for the weekend and this time everything is 40% off. (Last weekend only 30% off).

I am desperately trying to stop myself from purchasing items that can only be worn to the office. My two top picks for personal use are below.

Versatile large pearl and channel set necklace. This could probably do double duty between work and after work.
Now here we have a strictly personal use garment! Tiered chambray mini skirt. I am totally picturing it with a red & white striped tee and espadrilles. Ahh warm weather!!

Bailey44

Don't you think this Mediterranean Dress from Bailey 44 would be perfect with the Kors Vivian wedges? Hmm ... add this to my wishlist!

Shopping Bag

Aloha! Totally revived after my business trip/vacation to Hawaii. I must admit, the weather wasn't the best but I did manage to get a slight suntan. Other than that, I subjected Mr. K to endless shopping trips on the strip at Waikiki and at the Ala Moana Mall. In addition to the Coach Boyfriend Watch and Chanel 5171 Bow Sunglasses (both pictured below), I also finally purchased the Kors Vivan wedge (previously blogged).

Other than that, I am about done shopping for myself. On to redecoring my living room. Before and after photos coming soon!

Marc Jacobs

I don't claim to be any kind of fashion guru or anything but I know what I like and today, I REALLY liked the Marc Jacobs boutique at Gilt.com. Again, I am not the authority on this so I have no clue if these are current or outdated "fashions" but I loved them all.

Here are my top picks:

Red & turquoise. I don't even care what the pieces are, I like this color combination.
Navy. Silk. Blouse. THREE things I love all put together.
A spring time twist on the sweater dress.


BOWS!


A mix of patterns put together and doesn't look messy.




This reminds me of a top that is currently on sale at j.crew but the lace stripes are a single color. This is WAY more fun.




The style of this dress really appealed to me. The close up shot revealed that the pattern on it is actually a little "marc jacobs" logo. Super cute.




Could've sworn I tried this one on in a department store a while back (possibly Century21) but didn't pull the trigger. And here it is again!




So cute and comfy. This is the kind of thing I don't buy because I would live in it.



This top seems to be an incredibly versatile piece - the kind of thing you could wear to work and feel confident in, then wear out after work and not feel frumptastic.



Just. Love.





This is so cute. I love the color and the swiss dots. It doesn't have the same wearability as the pink one pictured above, but is still pretty spectacular.




A little apron dress - cuuuute!





And last but not least - my true love. Wrap. Ruffles.

Shoe Lust

Two days ago I treated myself to a new pair of Tory Burch Thora flip flops in the pewter color. My gold pair from two years ago are still barely alive but it was time to update them, for sure.

With an upcoming trip to Hawaii (ALOHA!), I am in full swing for spring. I came across the wedges pictured below at Lord & Taylor about a month ago and have been lusting after them ever since. I know a wedge is not what I need since I am not vertically challenged but who doesn't like to tower over people?

Meet .... KORS Michael Kors Vivan. *sigh*

Shoe Lust

Yesterday I received an email from Neiman Marcus notifying me of new arrivals for spring flats! It is not even mid-February here in New England but the winter has been so long, I am lusting for spring.


Why not start off with an old standby? The Tory Burch Revas. Neiman Marcus featured them in silver and I could envision this color being quite versatile.
OK how about the Tory Burch espadrilles too, while we're at it? (Of course I already own multiple pairs of Revas and the espadrilles from last year as well but what's a few more pairs?)
To DIE for. Stuart Weitzman glitter elastic flats. OMG heart them!


The Frye woven skimmer. They come in a gunmetal color which is the best color, by far.

I think these ones were from Elie Tahari. I had tried on a pair of lace platform pumps at Aldo and ever since, have been lusting for lace shoes.


These ones might be Elie Tahari also - super cute gold drivers. The thing I love about metallics - they are sooo versatile!
