Head Over Heels...

Ahhh, JCrew does it again...a store after my own shoe-loving heart.  The newest heel over which I'm gaga is Mona--classic with a fun, personality-filled twist.  Bright in color, timeless in shape and material--I'm so in L-O-V-E.  If I do happen to land that cup-of-tea job I'm eying in the fall, I'm pretty sure this is going to be my reward.  The problem is, every time I settle on my number-one color, another color starts to look just a little bit brighter.  Gosh!  They're all gorgeous.  Check them out!

Forget the Glitter Nail Polish,

I'm crazy for glitter flip flops!  Old Navy's recent addition to their infamous array of flip flops just got a little bit more sparkly!  The shining star of the store's seasonal flip flop wall is VERY reminiscent of last year's JCrew Jelly flip flops, only much cheaper and in more sparkly color options.  I am currently at a fork in the road to my color choice, but am leaning most towards the gold glitter pair.  Blue seems fun, too, for that color pop, and it's certainly cemented itself as one of the top runners in the race to Color MVP of 2011, along with green; after Kate's (errr, Catherine's) Navy engagement announcement dress and Pippa's evening reception dress, both seem to be neck-and-neck.  At $9.50, they're flying off the shelves (especially in silver).  What do you think--too immature, or fun and adult-appropriate?

A New Cotton Crop Harvest...

This season, a new cotton basic has been catching my eye...the cropped tee.  For me, this is the perfect shirt to feel stylish while lounging around the house.  I can especially envision these guys making their fabulous ways into my gym wardrobe to replace the (yawn) sports bra tank in the gym.  They've been popping up in every store from American Eagle to Victoria's Secret, and the very basic version that is on my list is the version from Forever 21.  No designs--just basic, solid cotton.  Here they are; at $7.90 a pop, you can certainly add a few to work them in from one laundry day to the next!

My heart takes the appearance of the Kate Spade Karolina in Aqua

When oh when will Kate Spade put these beauts on sale?!  At least they're back online.  They disappeared with the old site, nearly giving me a heart attack, and, luckily for me, reappeared on the newly designed site recently.  I thought they were a goner, and despite searching high and low everywhere, there wasn't an aqua-colored Karolina sole in sight!  Now that they're back up, I have a slightly higher chance of adding them to my shoe shelf bordering the perimeter of my closet ceiling, but my owning them is still a very long shot considering the husband's thriftiness, and the recent addition of the Calvin Klein snakeskins (both peep toe and traditional pump).    One thing's certain, though: they'll never ever disappear from my wishlist!
