Hi Guys! Sorry that the updating has been basically nonexsistent. As if the Holidays weren't enough stress, I came down with a terrible cold the day before Christmas Eve and have been just lounging in bed since then. Hope you all had wonderful holidays! I'll post a picture of what I got later this week.

Spring 2010 Best of :Flats
Giuseppe Zanotti- Toe Ring Camouflaged Print Flats
I love how simple these shoes hare. They are understated yet very elegant and would look good with almost anything during any summer season. They would never go out of style.
Melissa- Open Toe Ballerina Flats
I love the earthy feel of these shoes. The weave of the shoe makes me think of twigs and leaves. I think they would match with almost anything because of the neutral colors.
Salvatore Ferragamo- Acqua Glitter Spiffy Flats
These shoes were my favorite of the bunch. I loved how it brought me back to when I was kid. Jelliez were cool then. And apparently they are coming back in style. I love the glitter and the shape of these shoes. If there is one thing I probably get from all of the shoes I talk about it is most likely these.

Spring 2010 Best of: Boots
Giuseppe Zanotti- Washed Denim Ankle Boots
I love this boot. Its refreshing amoungst all the black and can be paired with almost anything. I really love the silver stripe along the top as well. It adds flare.
Alexander Wang- Freja Laced Zip Boots
Even amoung the see of black combat boot look-a-likes this boot stands out. I love the way it appears to be a boot within a boot. Its edgy without being over the top.
DSQUARED- Patent Folded Booty Boots
I love how different these shoes are. The orange color makes them stand out and the shape it to die for. I also love the rock and roll touch the black rugged soles lend to the shoe.
Stuart Weitzman- Peep Toe Low Booties
These are right on trend. I think that the spring clothes are starting to soften up a bit but florals with leather and zippers will always be a good combination. I can see these shoes paired with a knee length floral skirt.
So,Santa, if your listening these are at the top of my list. ;-)
Which do you like best?

On Gossamer Wings
I love the whimsical feel to it. I feel like it would be perfect in the summer with gold gladiators and white jeans. The details are beautiful as well.

NINE premire
Seeing the gown on her made me remember how much I really loved that collection. Resort is so often overlooked. I really loved an article I read in Harpers not to long ago that talked about the poor overlooked collections. Marchesa's 2010 Resort collection is a beautiful mix of ancient Greek meets chic uptown girl. My favorite pieces are the classical inspired dresses.

What do you think of the collection?

Its like Christmas came early...
This little dress caught my eye right away. The print and the shape were what got my attention but the little bows down the back of the dress made me swoon. Unfortunately the arms fit a bit funny and I had to leave it on the rack.
I did however, pick up this sheer cardigan in the yellow. It has this beautiful floral pattern on the mesh and the color will look nice in the spring. The dress in the second picture was my second purchase. It is comfortable and felt like a slip but it look sophisticated and could easily be layered. The prices weren't to high and I was satisfied with the quality of the purchase.

Gone are the days of Full House
I've been obsessed with this shoot since the first time I saw it. Its so very not-Olsen like. And its beautifully done. I think she looks beautiful and should try rocking the dark hair.

Literary Pursuits
We just finished this little gem in my creative writing class. If you have never read Saunders before I highly suggest him. His stories are out there but they always have a moral or meaning that packs a punch. This book was a childrens story turned fable of genocide.
The story has inspired some sketches of robotic type shoes that I will hopefully be able to scan and post later this week.
Carrie Fisher's Fabulous Shoes
I must admit that I share Carrie's love for Manolos.
And so today I thought I would leave you with some words of wisdome from the designer himself.
"I like things that are timeless. I love when you see someone who has had the same pair of shoes mended again and again, for years. I love things that are made to last and I admire women who have style. As far as the changing fashions, I jsut love shoes; I don't give a damn about trends!"
I've been obsessed with these babies since I fist laid eyes on them. The leather looks like butter and they can clearly switch to so many outfits.
"I think women in flat shoes look beautiful-but-it is more difficult to look graceful. When women wear flat shoes they often walk: stomp, stomp, stomp- like a man. It is more of a challange to be feminine in flats. You look at Audrey Hepburn or Brigitte Bardot when they wore flats- they were beautiful; like little reindeer- but its not like that for everyone."

Rainy Sunday...
This is clearly inspired by the weather. The raincoat I have now is meant to withstand heavy duty rain and there fore is anything but chic.
I have been obsessed with these since I first saw them. Now all the bloggers seem to have them andevery outfit possibility I see them paired with makes me want them more. I'm not usually one for a slingback but these are to die for. They also are currently one sale and hopefully mine in the near future!
This is my go to bronzer. If anyone out there is looking for a bronzer with amazing coverage that is light, this is for you. My boyfriend dropped my make up bag the other day and the powder broke and fell all over the floor. I expect a replacement for Christmas.
I think I'm going to curl up with another cup of cocoa and watch a few old movies.
