5 things to look forward to this week | 8.4.14

Saturdays always seem to go by quicker when a certain baby nephew is home and still learning to walk, but Sunday, on the other hand, always seems to be the day when everything slows down for a whole 24 hours. Though most things didn't go as planned, there's still hope and excitement lingering, for there is a very anticipated project underway...more news on that! This week's edition of 5 things seems to have a theme of nudes, a personally favorite color…

With my new set from Gossard, can't wait to the pretty under things around and about.
 
  Always feel impossibly chic when wearing my pair of pearl earrings and haven't done so in a while so the next office outfit will include pretty pearls and red, red lips.

Am in need of cleaning and organizing my shoes and so this weekend will consist of some closet makeover.

Will continue on the search for the perfect sized clutch, to hold all my necessities; my phone, glasses, lipstick and more.

Perhaps a trip to the shops to pick up Jo Malone's Red Roses perfume, which have been admiring from a distance for some time now.

In The Spotlight | Featured Shops: The White Ribbon

Couldn't imagine what a perfect pair of ballet flats aren't good for; long, long strolls in the garden, running errands out of the office, and weekends exploring new places in the city to name a few.



Designed and produced by Dori and Michele in London and Berlin, fell in love with The White Ribbon's impeccably simple design of classic ballet flats, made of responsibly sourced, upcycled leather. The soft round toes and abundance of neutral colors (and just recently, some bright ones and patterned ones) make it so hard to choose which one to covet!

Style Musings | Shoes: A Positively Strappy Situation

Going back to Saint Laurent's Spring 2009 runway, where femininity met its crossroads between simplicity and audacity, cage and strappy heels have resurfaced into my wardrobe, not as a choice for a night-time outfit, but now as a cleverly edgy foundation for day-time wear.



Have recently realized that my mother is drawn to shoes with intricate straps and I, too, am on board, ever since taking these home on a well deserved whim one day at the shops.


No need to be afraid of how bold these are - the trick is to put them on first (maybe lingerie first, then shoes), then add on around them. Go chic in chambray and sexy skinny jeans, or add a feminine blouse to your favorite masculine jeans...one can only be positively daring and be only in a positively strappy situation with such shoes!

Perfectly Possible in Pink

Couldn't quite think of a better way to start the new year than in these perfectly pink, possibly perfect pumps with bows. Cheers to this new year!
