Fun in the Sun!

The beautiful Los Angeles sunshine has inspired my love for this lovely pair of Brian Atwood strappy sandals which I am
Currently Coveting:


They are made of a super soft suede with skinny suede wrap around ties at the ankles. The sunny colors of lime green, turquoise, and pale lavender (which looks white in these pics) will be wonderful for our winter escapes from freezing Boston to the sunshine of Florida and California. I think these will be fantastic with breezy white linen pants and a silk cami, or with a light little cotton dress. Bring on the sunshine!

Recently Bought:
I couldn't resist! Just doing the post yesterday was more than I could take. I had to have them! So now these fabulous Bruno Frisoni's are right where they belong - in my closet!


I know these aren't for everybody, as the ribbon makes a pretty big statement, but I love having my shoes give a "wow" factor to an outfit. These babies will be making their debut on Thursday, October 4th at the opening of the Boston Symphony. They will be accompanied by a sassy little black dress by Chaiken, a black silk clutch, and diamond drop earrings. I think it will be a fabulous debut for these little gems! :-)

Thought of the day on shoes:
Many people (especially the men who are partnered with a shoe lover) can't understand why other people can be so in love with shoes. Well, I'll tell you why I am. To me, they are little pieces of art that not only show the artistry and craftsmanship of their maker, but also are reflective of the time in which they were made. They are a little slice of a moment in history.

Then there is their importance within an outfit. When I was producing a fashion-centered show for the E! network, I interviewed famed fashion stylist Rachel Zoe, who stressed over and over that the most important things to spend your money on in your wardrobe are your shoes and your handbags. As she put it, you can go out in just jeans and a white tank top, but if you have a fabulous pair of shoes on and a hot handbag, you will look fabulous. Words to live by! ;-)
