These gorgeous Aldo pumps show that you don’t have to break the bank to get a hot shoe. The neon blue, pink and orange are bang on trend for the season, as is the pencil thin heel. Aldo website
Trending Thursday: Abstract florals.
22 Mar
Christopher Kane s/s 2012
Tuesday was officially the first day of spring and you know what goes hand -in-hand with spring? florals.
I am totally digging all the abstract, bright and mish mash prints that are surfacing this year thanks to designers such as Christoper Kane (see photo above), Erdem, Mary Katrantzou, Paul Smith and of course on the high street, Topshop, Miss Selfridge, Bebe, Oasis and River Island. What I love most is the fact there are so many ways to wear it, in the form of a statement jacket all the way to more subtle light wash denim shorts.
1. Floral Belted Dress, Oasis.
2. Ankle length trousers, H&M.
3. Silk blend jacket, Christopher Kane.
4. Triangle bikini top and bottom, Zara.
5. Boyfriend, low-rise denim shorts, Current/Elliott.
6. Scoop sleeveless top, CO-OP Barney’s New York.
P.S if anyone comes across a really great pair of floral jeans let me know. I’ve tried Current/Elliott, Citizens of Humanity,Paige and Topshop but the fits just aren’t working for my petite frame. But I desperately want a pair!!!

No design is too daring
No closet is too big
When you’re shoe obsessed
-Bergdorf Goodman
The new catalog from Bergdorf Goodman’s shoe salon landed on my lap today and turned my whole day into one big shoegasm. I already have more than half the catalog marked with possible styles for clients but below are my fave 7 styles, one for every day of the week. Pair any of these beauties with a little Essie Cute as a Button polish on your toes and you’re ready to put your best foot forward for summer.

Trending Thursday: New York Fashion Week
16 FebWe’re just a week into the month of fall 2012 fashion shows, and I’m already loving what the future has to offer fashion wise. I’m seeing lots of blues, oranges, monochrome and nudes. Texture wise, furs (lots and lots of it), leather, everything from skirts, to trousers to a blouse at Charlotte Ronson and over sized knits. Shapes are everything from extremely tailored to fifties full skirts. Skirt lengths seem to be creeping closer to the knee again and trouser legs are slightly higher and showing a flash of ankle (very sexy). Shoe wise, there’s a good balance of both very pointy and rounded toes. That’s New York, I’m excited to see the emerging trends in London, high fashion at Paris and of course the glam from Milan.

Yes please!
15 FebI’m all about wearable fashion and this shearling jacket from Rodarte’s A/W12 show is right up my street. They clearly loved it too, because it made two appearances during the show. View the rest of the collection here.
Are you guy digging their Australian outback theme too?

Glam Ears
How awesome are these Glam Ears? They’re little ear moulds designed to be worn over your ears to protect them when heat styling or coloring your hair.
I’m always having my ears burnt by hair stylists, who insist it’s the only way they can get down to my roots and I just shut up and visualize how amazing my hair will look when they’re done. Then there’s the burning sensation from being under a steamer/dryer, I constantly lift the hood to cool down.
My Glam Ears arrived this morning (I ordered a bunch because I know my girlfriends are going to want some too) and so far they fit my ears really comfortably.. I’ll update you guys the next time I go to the salon for a treatment and blow out. But I have faith they will end my “beauty is pain” motto.
