Ensemble du Jour – Labor Day Dressing

Posted on by Shoe Daydreams

Yesterday we had a lovely day off and spent it trying a new restaurant and leisurley browsing at the nice mall in Charlotte, South Park Mall.

I decided to wear a dress I had not had an opportunity to wear yet – my JCrew sequin stripe dress.  I love the heavier knit and the marine shades of the multi-sized sequins scattered in an ombre pattern.

I paired this with my cobalt Celine Luggage tote – always a handy size to carry.

For shoe, I’d thought about wearing my marine sequin Louboutins but decided to be more neutral and tie in with the color of the creme fabric.  I ended up wearing my lacy Enzo Angiolini Eamaxino peep-toes.

Found a few cute tops for Fall, which I’m eagerly anticipating!

Hurry up cool weather!

Looking for Wu

Posted on by Shoe Daydreams

Like everyone, I’m in search of items from the Jason Wu collection from Target.    While I like the items, the hassle of even trying to get, well… anything… pisses me off.  And I’m not going to buy from “scalpers” on eBay.  I just won’t do it!
After trying, no lie, 4 Target stores in our area, I found two pieces I liked.  The first was the cute cat tee.  I really want to get the scarf and bag too with this, but that hope remains unrealized.

I did nab one of the iconic shift dresses.  I think I’m going to wear this during this or next week with black tights, my YSL Mohawk heels and a black velvet blazer but for summer I’m totally adding a yellow patent belt and yellow Manolo Blahnik pumps.

While I was at Target I spied three other cute, light-weight dresses.  These are going to be great when it’s sweltering. Nice enough for work but casual enough for weekends.  Plus, I get to have fun playing with all the colors in the patterns and they were only $25 each.

I got the navy/red/white print…

Coral floral…

And I had to get the cobalt blue!

So fun!  Now… if you see that cat print bag, let me know!

Ensemble du Jour – 2-6-12

Yes, hot pink is going to be huge for Spring/Summer 2012 but so is tangerine, coral, and my new favorite saturated hue… Cobalt.

I was smitten with this color and over the weekend was excited to see the perfect sweater at Target for wearing over bright patterned dresses.

I wore it right away with a fun oversized snake print skirt and….

my Manolo Blahnik Mladari mary janes.  Isn’t this color great?  And the heel height is just perfect.

I love that the strap is lower on the arch too.

These come in a great emerald green too.  This weather has been warm enough that it’s making me think about Spring clothes way too much.  I bought a whole bunch of dresses, now I want to wear them!
