My Take - Vince d'Orsay pumps

I've been loving these pumps forever but at $375+ there's no way to justify that purchase.  So I hunted down some under $100 options.
1. Vince - $395
2. Vince - $375
3. Coach - $99
4. Coach - $99
5. Aldo - $89

My Take - J.Crew Silver Oxfords

I was flipping through the latest J.Crew catalog Style Guide and fell hard for these silver oxfords, but at $258 they are a little pricey.  So I tracked down a couple of lower priced alternatives.
Top - J.Crew
Right - Bass

What do you think? Any interest in some shiny, silver shoes for Fall?

Love This! - H&M Sneakers

Popping in for a quick post today. As you may or may not have heard H&M is finally doing the online shopping thing.  Since the nearest H&M is about 2 1/2 hours away, this online option is exciting.  I poked around on the site and ran across these:

How cute are these?  Not only do they incorporate the snakeskin trend but they also are part of that sneaker trend I'm digging (though they aren't slip-ons, but for $25, we'll forgive them).

My Take - Slip-On Sneaker Mini-Trend

Last week I covered some Resort 2014 trends that caught my eye:

Today I'm going to touch on an emerging mini-trend for Fall that caught my eye and that I can totally get on board with - slip-on sneakers! Actually my best friend sent me an image of some amazing leopard print slip-on sneakers - I was hooked.  Then I ran across this image on Pinterest:

How perfect are these little numbers from Celine?  But alas, they are Celine and not in any way affordable for us regular folks.  I kept noticing more and more high end slip-on sneakers like the ones below:



























1.  Givenchy - $495
2.  Givenchy - $650
3.  Marc by Marc Jacobs - $248
4.  Givenchy - $530
5.  Prada - $420

Okay, those are nice but way too $$.  So I hunted down some affordable options.  There are some great ones out there!
6.  Tory Burch - $165
7.  Donald J. Pliner - $50
8.  Gap - $60
10.  Sperry - $75
11.  Tory Burch - $56
12.  Vans - $45
13.  Vans - $45

What do you think, is this one trend you are excited about?

Resort 2014 Trend - Birkenstock-like Slides

Oh yeah, now this I'm excited about! I love my Birkenstocks and it's nice to see these "ugly" shoes as a trend. It's good for the feet.  Note also the appearance of the Adidas adilette slides.  If you are my age you probably wore these at some point in your life, I know I swore by them.  New Birks and the Adidas slides are on my wishlist!

















































































Anyone else as excited about this trend as I am?

What I'm Loving!

Here are a few things that I'm loving right now:
 
First up is Glade's Cashmere Woods scent.  Oh man, this is such a perfect fragrance for this time of year (as a matter of fact, about a year ago I posted a "What I'm Loving" list that included this too).  It's not sweet or spicy, it's more of a smoky/warm scent that is positively amazing.  I mean it takes me to the perfect, crisp Fall day (even when it's 80 degrees out)!  I invested in the Sense and Spray version this year, perfect!
 
Next up are my new Minnetonka Kiltie Moccasins in wine - purchased via a Shopbop giftcard giveaway win from the lovely Jessica over at Bedknobs & Baubles - a great blog check it out!
They are so comfy and go great with everything! They do run large so if you decide to get some then order a 1/2 size down.
 
Just a couple of things I'm into right now.
 
I also noticed that I'm painfully close to 100 followers!  That's a big thing, so thanks to all the new followers!  And if you aren't already following, what are you waiting for?  Ha!  I remember when I first started blogging I sat on 14 followers for months and months.  I'm slow to grow that's for sure.  Have a great Tuesday!

My Five - Prada Spring 2013

Not gonna lie, this collection was pretty awesome in my opinion.  Again, Miuccia loves a theme and this time it's a little Japanese mixed with a little late '60's flower power.  Lots of black and white, punched up with dashes of red and green.  And the shoes, well, you will be seeing them in every magazine I'm sure.  They are not the most practical, but they do mesmerize.  Love it or hate it, you will see a trickle down in trends.  Here are my picks:





 
 
 Now for a closer look at the shoes:




 
And of course the handbags:

My Five - Yves Saint Laurent Fall 2012

This was Stefano Pilati's last collection for YSL, which kind of makes me sad, I've come to love his work there.  It felt like an homage to the wide shouldered, leather clad 80's gals.  It was all about black, large, scattered prints and chain mail.  Sounds scary, right?  Well, it's not, it's actually quite lovely.  But really what I want to discuss are the shoes - the SHOES!  The amazing, gorgeous, fantastic shoes!  Swoon city, people!  Check them out:






What do you think?

 Here are a couple of outfit picks - I mostly focused on the chain mail pieces because I found them the most interesting.  It's a material that comes off very tough and industrial, but he manages to use them in very ladylike ways.  I love that mix.
 Pencil skirt?  Yes, please!

Sheath?  Hello!


A detail shot of a dress - gorgeous!


And now some of the jewelry:
