February. The month I hate all my clothes.
I’m sick of everything in my closet. Ready to toss it all out. Wearing nothing but great.
How delightful and refreshing it was to see an email from Bergdorfs, filled with color and brimming with fun, brightly-printed shoes.
I’m so ready for pink pedicures and peep-toes!
The more I see these Fendi Polifonia spiked heel ankle boots, the more I like them.
They are not my typical style but they are unusual and compelling. In that way they remind me of the Proenza Schouler sandals I got a few years back. I need to wear those more this summer, I think!
Luckily, for my wallet, these are sold out at Saks (but maybe they’ll come back). There is a black version. $1368, at LuisaViaRoma if you want to track them down!

I was sad when I got in a wreck just before Christmas in my beloved Cabrio but I’m excited to finally be in a new car.
I had to get something cute and fun, of course!
There were not many cars that caught my eye but finally I remembered the Fiats. And they have a convertible version! I am now the owner of a 500c Pop! It’s so adorable and I’m loving it.
I can’t wait for Spring weather so I can open up the top and cruise!
I am entrance with these golden glitter sandals from Aperlaï. They remind me of a modern Hermes (the Greek god) sandal.
With wing’ed sandals and staff in hand
I fly and deliver across the land
Wit sharp as knives, voice soft as fleece
Messenger, of the gods of Greece.
The patron saint of liars and thieves,
Still an ever constant force of good.
I guide and assist he who believes
As, I would think, any deity should.
Spearheader of invention, athletics, oration,
Brings me to note ‘Boxing’ was first my creation.
As such I watch over all matches and fighters,
While still patron of poetry, poets, and writers.
“Giant-killer Mercury,” they ask, “O who will prevail?”
I am he who is Hermes, and this is my tale.
It seems there is some Hollywood fever coming for Fall. My other favorite whimsical designer has movie magic on the brain.
Check out Kate Spade’s rendition of the film strip, in heel form and accessories –
Who is totally getting excited for the new The Great Gatsby movie? And who is totally banking on old Hollywood glamour, art deco and decadent flapper style being hot for Fall/Winter 2013?
Is it Charlotte Olympia? I think it is.
Oh, yes, the Charlotte Olympia Fall line is totally made for the Gatsby-loving lady. The heels are filled with deco design elements:
Lush curves, malachite patterns and opulent jewels, even a nod to the 20’s ladies themselves…
But Charlotte has not forgotten to add in the whimsical touches. It’s all show biz! I love the “film strip” sandals, the “Walk of Fame” star clutch and, of course, the lighted mirror clutch!
Her other accessories channel the Chrysler building, Clara Bow, and quite literally, Louise Brooks.
What a collection! Now we just need a fabulous supper club to whisk off to and a champagne fountain!
Yesterday it was Manolo Blahnik Campy mary jane heels…Today it’s Sorel boots.
Darn fickle weather!
These are so ridiculous, I have to share – Grumpy Cat Pasties
Talk about mixed messages…”Hey, Beh-bey….NO”
I almost want to buy them.
I’ve been speaking with a lovely bride-to-be about what to splurge on for her wedding.
Besides the event items – for us it was good drinks, food and a live band – there are the items for you the bride.
Back when I got married, I had actually never thought I would get married, so I didn’t have a ton of ideas or preferences. I was probably so un-opinionated that I was annoying to my vendors. The dress I got was okay, I did my own make-up, I should have gone with a different hairstyle.
And I didn’t really get very special shoes.
If I were to do it again, or if we were to do a vow renewal, I would have more of a theme to tie the day together, I’d wear a completely different style of dress and I’d probably get a really bright pair of shoes.
I also think a pair of glittery heels would be fun too, especially in a great color. Miu Miu, does the best, of course.
Maybe I do need a vow renewal!
Who is excited to see more mint for Spring???
I love these classic heels and cute flats from Coach.
I have a pair of mint loafers but maybe I need to add to my mint footwear collection. I think all this grey weather has me craving minty greens!
