Look For Less - Victoria Beckham Tote

I'm a huge fan of Victoria Beckham and her designs, but us mere mortals can't really justify dropping $2000+ on a handbag.  So it's nice when you can find a similar look at a much lower price!  This tote from Boden is just chic for a whole lot less.

Boden Chambray Tunic

Last week one of my BFF's emailed me with a styling question about this Boden Tunic:
Super cute, right?  She loved it, but was at a loss about how to style it.  She wondered if I had some suggestions and of course I jumped all over it.  I was in "Week of Chambray" mode!  I love this tunic because it's a button down (not just halfway down like some other tunics), so this means you can wear it buttoned or unbuttoned (almost like a jacket).  Yay!  Now my BFF is a consultant who works from her home in New York, she doesn't need the tunic to work in an office-type environment.  She walks a lot and like me, loves a comfy shoe, so I opted for a Cole Haan with Nike Air.  I lived in Cole Haan's with Air when I worked in NYC, they are stylish, comfy and so worth the extra coin.  So here are my styling suggestions:

Tunics by Boden
Flats by Cole Haan

Nothing groundbreaking here, just a comfy, casual look with a touch of sparkle from the necklace.

You could wear it buttoned or unbuttoned (or somewhere in between) with this look and you can toss in a scarf for chilly days.  Love!

I want this! - Boden Butterfly Slingback Flats

Okay, I know they may be a bit cheesy and cutsie, but darn it, I can't help but like these shoes.  I think it's the colorways offered (love the Honeydew) and maybe the fact that my daughter would find them endlessly fascinating.  I like shoes that people notice and these fit that bill.  So make fun of me, if you will, I don't care :o)
