t-shirt and jeans

on days like today...I want a no fuss look. here is a twist on the basic t-shirt and jeans. this top was a fashion STEELE from Loehmann's. It was on sale for a mere $12 and it's Rag & Bone! I paired it with my current favorite H&M distressed jeans and YSL pumps. Since it seems I wont be venturing out into the 16 degree weather I will be entertaining in the warmth of my apartment.

Gianvito Rossi

ok ladies and gents. bear with me. this is the story of the Gianvito Rossi's.

so i went to Brooklyn for a business meeting at the Brooklyn Moon Cafe a few weeks ago.

the crab cakes are delish by the way but i digress. on the way back even though I was a little tired i decided to get off at Chambers Street and check out the downtown Century 21.

i was there approximately 1 hour before closing time.

i made a b-line for my favorite area...luxury shoes downstairs and to much delight discovered they were having an awesometastic freaking unbelievable sale.

it took about 5 minutes before I came across these

gianvito rossi for altuzarra furry pumps.

i definitely peed my pants a little but thats ok.

i slipped off my Toms...and slipped into this green patent leather beauty.

 Shoes: Gianvito Rossi

it was complete and utter love. i have always always always wanted a furry shoe since i missed out on these Sergio Rossi's at DSW. they are just sooooooo perfection.

and guess what.......

they were only $120....yes... I saved about $500 thanks to the sale.

i am so happy right now because with the purchase of these shoes my outfits for

 New York Fashion Week are complete.

yes....i have my outfits together already. dont.judge.me.

Blue Beauties

so last week I interviewed the shoe designer for L.A.M.B. and Charles Jourdan shoes. Make sure to check out that interview HERE. It was an amazing meeting and I learned so much about shoes...my favorite accessory! She gifted me some pretty sweet baby blues that I am dying to share with you.

Shoes: L.A.M.B. Italia Blue Leather

can't wait to rock these with everything army green that I have in my closet. i think this color goes so well with green! Check out my other blue peep toe pumps that I also paired with green HERE.

what do you think of these blue beauties?

more shoes...yes please Michael Kors

i had been eyeing these Michael Kors slingbacks for awhile...but I didn't buy them.

the main reason was because they are slingbacks. I personally didn't own one pair of slingbacks and i think its because I always had a notion that they were for more mature women of a certain age.

but i couldn't resist when I saw them marked down at Loehmann's from $159 to $127. I also had a 20% off coupon on top of my 10% Diamond Card Membership on top of my 15% off Birthday Month Coupon.

Needless to say for a whooping $58 fashion STEELE! 

these nude and rose gold slingbacks were mine!

Shoes: Michael Kors Eden

so i told you all I'd be buying a pair of shoes each week this month because its my birthday month.
you've already seen these L.A.M.B. sandals I also scored at Loehmanns.
when it comes to shoes...Loehmanns is always on point.
I really love the curve of the heel on this shoe and the color! Rose gold..yes please.
Now if only I could have a Michael Kors fairy godmother grant me
 this Michael Kors Rose Gold Watch to match!
Stay tuned for more May shoes!

Trust me...yellow is always an eye catcher

Hello April.

Hello Yellow BCBG Pumps.

Hello Streets of Manhattan.

damn...i love Spring. Nothing better than strutting the streets of New York and getting lost in the boutiques, the street vendors, the gelato, its totally worth paying a fortune in rent.

These yellow pumps are a pair of oldies but goodies. They are super comfortable and I find people staring at my feet while I'm walking in them...which I like. Nothing like an eyecatching shoe.

Speaking of shoes I just saw this awesome documentary God Save My Shoes, at the Quad Cinema in NYC. It was an awesome movie. It literally had me ohhhhing and awwing outloud.

Ugh...one day ladies and gents I will own a pair of Loubou's...but I hear they are the most uncomfortable shoes on the planet.

what do you think makes a great shoe?

who's your favorite shoe designer?

I am currently digging Brian Atwood and Alexander Wang.
