How cute are these BCBGeneration flats? Loving them. Still grounded though. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t benefit from a good sale!

What I want this Wednesday is:
DRESSES! 
I just bought this plunging v-neck dress for $20 in black, and I am stoked to get it. Seems like it will be very versatile and wearable.
But I also have my eye on this sweaterdress, because I can’t resist sweaterdresses!
So much for being grounded, eh?

wedding shoe redux
January 18, 2010 · Leave a Comment
I just can’t figure it out. How do you choose just one pair of shoes?
My dress is simple and elegant and beautiful. A chiffon, grecian-inspired, drapey, strapless, sweetheart neckline gown. The bridesmaid dresses are wearing a Lotus (purple) Maggy London chiffon one shoulder dress. I’m also wearing a silver and diamond necklace that my grandma wore in her wedding, and a pair of sapphire and diamond earrings that were also my grandma’s.
So, I have purple, blue, silver…but I keep looking at gold shoes. Can you do that?
These are technically “Steel,” and I really like them.
But I also love:
- These Stuart Weitzmans
- This could potentially be the right purple
- Or this purple
- I’ve had my eye on these for forever
- And d’Orsay peep toe pumps, particularly by Jimmy Choo, are irresistible.
Sigh. Well, they’re at a wide variety of price points. I guess that’s a good thing.

do over, boots edition

Unfortunately, I wound up HATING these boots from Aldo. Seriously loathing them. The toe was not even remotely pointed, which made me look stunted and my foot look clunky. So I’m in the market for replacement boots, as I really do want a pair of nice tall dress black boots, with a little visual interest – those pleats were pretty cool.
What I really and truly love are these boots, but unfortunately, they’re only mid calf. Why do they even make these? What’s the point?
Instead, it’s between the Landgraf and the Tingwald. For now. Aldo has a great return policy, with no time restrictions, so I may dally on this decision for a bit.

What I Want Wednesday – an exciting look alike

I’ve been in love with these Jimmy Choos for a very long time. I love the keyhole, I love the back zip on the heel and the way that that will keep your foot firmly in place. I do not love the price so much.
Stumbled across these today, and I think they’re an awesome representation of most things I loved about the Jimmy Choos, and at 1/20th the price! Plus, a much more wearable, versatile black.

Sophisticated any occasion dress

I have to cut back on the impulse buys for awhile, or else I’d snap this up. I’ve become addicted to dresses, and this one I can picture myself wearing in a wide variety of scenarios. 
Pretty good deal, too, at 40% off. Maggy London is also the designer of my bridesmaid dresses, so I know I like her stuff already.
Large number of sizes left at the moment!

Thrifty Thursday

When else can you get tall dress boots for $50? Almost never! This is a
great deal from Aldo, and you should hop on it. I’m super tempted myself, but alas, I’m still grounded from shopping and technically have black high heeled boots already. Great thing about Aldo shoes: super comfortable.
I may still cave. I’m a bit undecided on the toe. I think I’d like it pointier.

what I want wednesday
December 23, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Today’s What I Want Wednesday is more along the lines of “What I Want but Cannot Find” Wednesday.
Back in April, I was at a Nordstrom Rack in Seattle and I found this fabulous oversized green convertible clutch by L.A.M.B. The tab with the L on it is magnetized, so you can use the bag as a clutch, with the L tab going through the handle, or you can carry it as a tote bag. How nifty is that? And you really can’t beat that green.
Here’s the lesson: when you see something awesome at Nordstrom Rack, BUY IT. In this case, I’ve been unable to find it since.
Still looking from time to time. Never give up the dream!
