{trend} : t-strappin'.

i'm having a summer love for the whole

 t-strap sandal/shoe look.

i have no clue why.

they look awesome on most people.

but i have serious cankles.

so ... this style is not flattering on my 

terrible legs whatsoever. 

i also hate wearing sandals in nyc, period. 

because my feet end up looking like i walked through wal*mart barefoot after 2 minutes out on the street.

anyway. i still love these. 

maybe i'll just love them from afar.

{today is} : SPRING

Dear Spring, 

I welcome you with OPEN arms! 

i have never been so ready for warmer days...

today - i treated my already happy mood by giving myself flowers. 

i cannot WAIT to say see-ya to my cold weather uniform - 

hats, sweatshirts, 2 pair of socks &

every single sweater i can layer under my down-feather coat. 

bring on the sunshine.

AND the maxi dresses.  

{style} : shoe saturday

i like shoes. 

a lot. 

 i also buy a ton of them & WILL NOT 

ever wear them if they 

are uncomfortable. 

i haven't learned my lesson yet. 

therefore - these 4 pair are about all my feet see. 

i think that's okay. 

have a happy saturday! 

{style} : suede staple.

Love my new suede wardrobe staple : from Calypso St. Barth! 

Buy them HERE 

{style} : structured winter hats.

i love hats. 

i always have. 

in my opinion - they are an ultimate accessory 

that can change the entire look of an outfit. 

this season - i have had a winter love affair 

with THIS hat -  

Calypso St. Barth :

it's wool, cream colored & structured {dreamy}. 

what's your favorite warm AND stylish accessory?   

{boots} made for walkin'

 { boots :: enzo angiolini  }


i actually try to mix up my wardrobe.
but when i find a pair of shoes that i love - 
and that i can haul myself all over this city in comfortably -
 i am a major advocate 
{ resulting in = not "mixing up my wardrobe" at all } 


these are my current "staple".
i do not apologize, fashion world. 
i love them. 


{disclaimer : these boots were also my very first 
"NYC Resident / real life Bloomingdale's Shopper" purchase - 
...yes, they were on sale - double the goodness.}
