Kors Vail Wedge

'Memba the Kors Vivan Wedge? Similar to pictured below except a little different? Well I bought them, I wore them 3 times, and they served as a reminder of why I HATE sling backs! I will chock it up to a $195 mistake. The elastic on the sling back stretched out so much I can't really wear them without the left shoe flopping around behind me. Awful! But I do love the shoes so decided to replace them with the d'orsay version - the Kors Vail Wedge - which I probably should've just bought in the first place!

Project: Living Room Remodel 2011

After a little over 3 years in our townhouse, Mr. K and I are ready to upgrade to something with our own yard. We started our big sprucing-up projects last year ('memba the kitchen before & after pics?). In March I started my overhaul of the living room. It's still underway but this is where it's at right now. Mr. K won't let me replace the sofas even though they are completely pathetic and sorry looking so I resorted to covering them with a bazillion throw pillows. The latest addition (center) is from Ballard Designs. In the online description and photo, the bows are on the sides of the pillow but when I received it, the bows were on the top and bottom. I think the monogram might have been stitched on sideways but it's not worth complaining about since now this pillow is on backorder. (Side note: Ballard Designs has worse back orders than Pottery Barn! Simply terrible).

My new area rug will arrive sometime next week so more pics coming soon!

BCBG Max Azria

The thing I love about BCBG is that sometimes they have pieces that bridge well from work to going out directly after work without a wardrobe change. The thing that makes me cringe about BCBG is the full prices. Today I happened to check the website and hundreds of new items have been added to the sale.

These are my top picks for the office and beyond ... I think the middle one is my fave. I do love me some stripes!

Lands' End Canvas

I've managed so far to overlook the fact that Lands' End Canvas items are sold at Sears which is a store I think of for lawn mowers and washers. I went as far as to purchase a sweater dress from Lands' End Canvas. Last week I received the new catalog in the mail and started making a mental wish list of items I'd love to have for our New England summers. But then I received this email and ... I just can't even. Who would style a MAN like this? Seriously?

Piper - June 2011

We've finally been blessed with some pleasant weather here! Not too hot & humid and not cool & rainy either. We were able to prop our windows open and let in some fresh air! Sweet Piper, the nosy neighbor, loves to look out the window and check out what goes on in the neighborhood. So stinkin' cute!

Shoe Lust

Oh how I do love me some Burberry plaid! Espadrilles for now, pumps for later.

Banana Republic

This morning Banana Republic was having a "sun rise" sale of 40% off all regular price items until 10:00 AM. I scored this cute little number below - the Claire Sheath. This was in the new arrivals section, originally $130 but I paid less than $100 for it!

I would like to wear it to a July wedding but not sure if the white background makes it off limits for weddings. Feel free to comment or email me with thoughts!
