Shoe Love

How amazing are these J.Crew metallic heels? At $320 they will not be making their way into my closet anytime soon so gazing dreamily at this picture will have to do. I've also seen many a blogger sporting them so I also gladly live vicariously through them!

Once upon a time I had metallic pointy toed heels but they got pretty rough in the toe area and because of the silver metallic finish it stood out a lot - too much - so I had to get rid of them. They were Aldo and my hopes is that something similar (or similar to these - the ankle straps are adorable!) will come out because not only are they perfect for a formal occasion but I've seen them paired with distressed denim and man, that's chic! This is the "splurge", now where is the "save"... :)

Snakeskin Capped Off With Neon

You can tell the seasons are starting to change with the amount of new things I finding, wanting and sharing! My latest find are beautiful snakeskin flats from Banana Republic with a coloured cap toe. First off, I have never really been especially fond of Banana Republic shoes (maybe they're fine but I just don't look at the right times) but these caught my eye and it was longing at first sight! Just as I am picky with prints like leopard prints, I am equally as picky when it comes to snakeskin print! In clothes I find it can wash someone out (if you're on the pale side), and in general, if it's not the right print it WILL look cheap. Online the print for both looks just fine to me, and the coloured toe gives these shoes the extra "ooomph" they need to spice up the print! I just love these.

This is yet another scenario where I'm having trouble picking a favourite!

Attraction Alert: Coloured Lens Ray-Ban Aviators

Summer, are you here yet? Because I've found your perfect sunglasses! 

I have seen these sunglasses pop up a couple of times in the past couple of weeks and I can not get enough! They are your traditional Ray-Ban Aviators and come in about 6 different colours. They also come in either a gradient lens or a mirrored lens. Apparently mirrored lenses will be big for spring/summer - who knew?! Not sure if I'm a huge fan of mirrored lenses (they kind of make me think of sunglasses from my childhood and I'm not sure if that's a good thing) but I'm willing to give anything a shot!

My biggest problem (which let's admit, is not a problem at all) is that I can't decide between the orange or the green lens...

Attraction Alert: Coral Shoes

As of late I have found myself VERY attracted to coral shoes. Coral shoes of any shade also - whether they be on the neon side or on the pastel side. Below I've featured Jessica Alba and Hayden Panettiere wearing a couple of beauty pairs in bright versions of the shade. They are both wearing fairly modest and classic outfits, but paired with these shoes, their overall looks are given some life and some fun!

I could not find any shoes that were quite as bright neon as Hayden's, but I think I found Jessica's. My best guess is that they are the Kate Spade "licorice too" pump in the colour "Fuxia Flouro Patent" (below). They run for a not so modest $300. In my search I was looking around for some other colour/style/price variations and this is what I found:

Rachel Roy | Kate Spade | Alice +Olivia

 Town Shoes | Aldo

What do you think of coral shoes?

Stunning Skeletons

I never used to be much of a watch person. I have always loved watches and wanted to wear one, but never really got in the habit of wearing one consistently. I think that was mainly to do with the fact that I never found one I loved enough to wear all the time. That is until 2 Christmases ago. I got from my parents the wonderful gold Michael Kors Mid-sized Runway watch. I love it because it's not too big, it's not small but a more classic size, and goes with just about everything! Last year I got another one - the Michael Kors white ceramic glitz version. I love LOVE that one. Between the two I'm now wearing a watch almost everyday, and I don't know how I didn't before!

My preferred style of watches has stayed the same (not into the tiny ones or the oversized ones) and I recently stumbled upon some watches that not only fit the bill, but are stunning and unique! They are the brand new Marc by Marc Jacobs Henry Skeleton Leather watches. I am pretty crazy about them... don't be surprised if you see me walking around with that yellow one around my wrist before summer hits! :)
