Toast {y} shoes

21Nov

My favorite UK apparel brand, Toast, has the most wonderful winter shoe collection, from the cozy to the fancy. These are a few I’d like in my closet (especially the velvet-lined flats and the blue suede shoes!)

Then, I’d take those blue suede flats and their boat-neck oversize sweater, slim cord pants, and fair isle scarf. And I’d have my perfect winter comfort outfit.

So clutch

14Nov

One of these clutches is going on my Christmas wish list… now I just need to decide which one.

I typically lug around a giant bag all the time so sometimes I just want to dump a few things in one of these and go. Nothin’ too fancy. I love the foldover ones too for that extra space. And the waxed canvas ones look really fun too — kinda gives it that leather “feel”.

Ruffled wedding dresses

14Sep

Ok, ok, I know that I just got married so I should stop looking at wedding blogs and the like. Buuut, I saw these dresses from Ruffled and couldn’t resist. This may sound…weird, but these are mix-n-match gowns. Yes, separates. But they’re executed beautifully. They’re simple, elegant with a vintage and classic look. And if you are getting married soon, maybe I can provide you with a little inspiration?

Don’t you think they would be perfect for a fall or winter wedding?

A peek at fall

06Sep

Ok, now it’s officially September. Now I can finally get excited for the fall season. Here are a few fall pieces that I am getting excited about:

fig. 1: Clark’s Desert Mali Boot. A mid-calf boot lace-up boot that is a big look this year, but in a more classic, rustic way.
fig. 2: Cable-knit sweaters. The chunkier the better. Need I say more?
fig. 3: T-strap Mary Janes. I love them with colored or sweater tights.
fig. 4: Churidar pants. Sort of the wild card for me, but these Indian inspired pants look super fun (and comfy!) under a casual dress. I swear they don’t look as frumpy as they may appear.
fig. 5: Ankle pants. And colored? Even better.

Not just for kids

22Aug

I’ve been noticing a few colored shoelaces popping up here and there on dressier shoes and boots and I think it would be such a fun way to personalize a classic style — it’s that added “touch of whimsy”.

Like this pop of red:

I think it even works with these casual ones as well, don’t you think?

And these ribbon laces would be super fun too…I am kinda in love. It balances out a masculine shoe which I like. And, you can buy them at American Apparel here.

On the streets of Milan

19Jul

I just love this photo from the Sartorialist. “Eva in Milan”… her hair and outfit just look so effortless yet beautiful. I think that’s the hardest thing to pull off — looking carefree and effortless. (I think I may also have Europe on the brain lately…)

Honeymoon staples

18Jul

Since we are going on our honeymoon the Monday after the wedding…I need to start packing now! Going to both Croatia and Slovenia requires two different sets of attire too — beaches to mountains. In Croatia, it’s all about the dresses, like this one above from Toast. Something that hides dirt, can accessorize into different styles (dressy vs. casual) and comfortable.
