I love a good mary jane and these cuties from B. Makowsky (Mike Wazowski?) are adorable with just the right bit of sass from the low-profile studs.

I likey! B. Makowsky Sasha mary janes – on sale at Nordstroms $92.90

Pros: More outfit posts. Cons: iPhone photo at night in full length mirror. Let’s just call this “arty”, shall we?

You can sort of see the important stuff – vintage faux leopard jacket from Shrimpton Couture, Rosalind Keep Trompe L’Oeil trench dress, leggings from Sock Dreams and Gap cap-toe ballet flats. The plexi and pearls bracelet is from Etsy.

This is shown as a dress but even at 5’3″ there is no way I’d wear this to work without leggings. Yikes!

All mobile pics, all the time around here. That’s quality!

Jeffrey Campbell Skate

lThere is no reason for me to like this but I’m kind of intrigued by the Jeffrey Campbell Skate booties. I’m a Florida girl. I have no fond ice skating recollections. So I’m not sure why, but I think they are cool (pun intended)!

Maybe I just want my Silver Skate moment

Hans and Gretel Brinker have a much nicer story to aspire to. I was going to say I like famous Norwegian Sonja Henie but then I read some more of her history and backed away from that asap. I mean, Yikes! She was a pretty, talented and successful woman who seems to have had a much darker past – from drinking issues to Nazi ties – than I would have ever imagined. Guess those white skates weren’t so pristine.

Jeffrey Campell Skate comes in white, tan and black – $198 at Singer22

Even though the days are still cool, the bright skies feel like Spring. It doesn’t feel right to wear dark tones. It’s time for color!

I started with the shoes and worked from there. I paired a tomato red Gap sweater, with a khaki pencil skirt and grey and white Nautica scarf.

I love this butterfly pin. It was my grandmother’s and is very intricate with movable wings. I thought wearing it as a pin would be a nice tie back to my shoe details.

I just got these gorgeous crochet tights from Sock Dreams. They’re so beautiful. I plan on wearing them with an airy white dress and oxfords this summer.

But, yep, it was all about the shoes! I just received three (!!!) pairs of custom Hetty Rose shoes and these are the first to be unveiled. I’m going to do some more romance shots but I couldn’t wait to share!

I’m smitten by so many of her fabrics. It’s hard to choose just one. I love the butterflies, outlined in metallic ink with large embroidered butterflies in silver thread.
