Spotted








These sandals are amazing. It would toughen up any dress and can be easily work with denim, especially skinny jeans or cropped pants. Apparently Pierre Hardy used the human form as inspiration for this design. The shoes are reminiscent of the human spinal cord. But at $1,180 I think I will have to make do with the spinal cord in my body. 

Matchesfashion.com currently has a free ship code if you are interested in purchasing these beauties. Though if you are willing to drop $1180 on these you probably don't care about shipping costs. But in case you do want to save a few coins the code is MAYFREE.

White Out



I was struck by these all white looks worn by Solange Knowles, Iman and Zoe Saldana recently. Solange is pictured at the Cannes film festival in a Stephane Rolland jumpsuit. Iman is a wearing a crop top and wide leg pants at Kerry Washington's Elle cover party and Zoe Saldana is in an Elie Saab jumpsuit at the Mexican premiere of Star Trek Into Darkness.

I've picked out some white separates and jumpsuits to create looks inspired by these ladies' outfits.

Shorts Suit

That's right, a pair of shorts and a matching blazer. Though a suit it is not appropriate for most offices, but it is dressy enough for a night out. Check out Kourtney Kardashian, Brandy and Zoe Saldana in their shorts suits.



Each woman wore heels with their suits which helped elongate their legs. Also, though the shorts are short in that they are above the knee, the shorts are not tight, which helps keep the look classy. 

I've listed several shorts suits options after the jump.

OOTD: Happy Mother's Day!! Brunching it up in DVF


Happy Mother's Day to all of you fabulous mothers out there. It is a hard job but the most rewarding job in my opinion. For mother's day I went to brunch with my mother, siblings and my son. I wore my much loved Diane von Furstenberg Monir dress in painterly chevron. I decided I would be super match-y and pair it with my INC Lilly pumps in pink cherry.


My belt is twisted but you get the idea!


Macys INC Lilly pumps here in black. Alternative pink pumps here

Diane von Furstenberg Monir in painterly chevron is soldout, your best bet is to try Ebay. 
Here are some other patterned shirtdresses that have caught my eye: here,  here and here.

tall flat gladiator sandals


No, you are not experiencing dejavu, they are back. It was just two summers ago that these were a big trend and yet here they are again. It does seem that fashion is repeating itself more quickly these days, doesn't it?





Kourtney Kardashian is wearing the Stuart Weitzman Cava sandals in black and the Chanel Resort 2011 Gold Gladiator Sandals.

The Chanel sandals are long sold out but I've provided a link to the Cava sandals and other similar but cheaper pairs after the jump.

Gold Waisted



                                                          Stella McCartney Saskia gown

I first noticed this gold plate belt on this beautiful Stella McCartney gown. You don't normally think of belting an evening gown but this flowed beautifully. Because the belt is a plain belt with a simple metal shield it works well against most outfits. It defines the waist and adds a touch of glam. I especially like belts like this when paired with fit and flare dresses and jumpsuits.

I've included a few options at various price points
