Gift Wishes

The ole birthday is coming in a couple of weeks and I am adding these to my wish list...

All from Ann Taylor Loft

Sometimes You Forget, Until You Are Reminded

Sometimes you forget how much you want something (which is probably a sign you really don't need it) until something else reminds you again. Take this watch...I have wanted it for a while now but it fell off my radar until the other day when I saw these (which are sooo on my mind lately)...

Which in turn made me think of something that looked a little something like this, bringing me back to the original watch...

Funny how that happens...and leaves you wanting all 3 even more. While looking at this I found a few others that look like lost cousins (all of which I now want, but I would not wear them at the same time, too matchy)

All wedges Tory Burch (any of which I would accept with open arms), All bands J. Crew

Dear Target...

I looked at your maternity bathing suits (yikes) in the store this weekend and they are bad...bad, bad, bad. Let's see what we can do about that okay? On the bright side I bought these shoes in the taupe and they are so comfortable I was able to wear them alllllll day at Market and several other very long days without any problems. Well done...

Yellow Wedges Take Two

Last year I bought these Cynthia Vincent for Target wedges. If y'all remember, all C.V.'s shoes sold out quickly leaving a lot of people not happy.Every time I wear those shoes I get asked where they are from and it always pains me to tell them they are no longer available. However, while perusing the Target website today I came across these and I think they are pretty good substitute...
And the $24.99 price tag makes me like them even more...

Trouble For My Budget Is Afoot

I ordered these but when they came they were too big- in every way. So even though they were cute I sent them back.I was feeling good about saving the money until I came across these...
They look much better in person but the store did not have my size so I am waiting for them to come from here. Last year when I injured my back I basically lived in a pair of Born boots which were such a blessing, I hope these do the same for me this year. I will let you know how it goes.

Have a wonderful (long) weekend!

Metallic Wedge or Metallic Wedge?

or
Both @ Saks

Another In The Under $30 Crowd

One more pair I am loving in the under $30 crowd, I wonder if they are comfortable. In that price range you are usually sacrificing something...Shoes HERE.

Shoes Will Make Any Day Better

I had a shoe post I wanted to do but I am having major internet issues this morning so for now it seems only one pair wants to work. I tried these on in Old Navy the other day and was surprised by how comfortable they were and how much I liked them. At under $30 they are a steal.

I Do In Blue

Since I am in the patriotic mood but I have already touched on Red, White and Blue Rooms, I thought I would do a different blue post.... While I had a wonderful wedding there are one or two things I would change. One thing would be that I would wear blue shoes. I think it is such a fun idea and since "wedding shoes" would be part of the "wedding budget" I would be able to get shoes that normally would not fall in my possession. For instance these....
Or if I had a casual beach wedding...
Yes, that would have been a great idea and I would still be wearing them today. Planning a wedding on a budget? Here are some more reasonable versions:

1. Christian Louboutin Metallic Patent Pumps
2. Christian Louboutin Peep Toe Pumps
3. Christian Louboutin Glittered Platform Pump
4. Manolo Blahnik Something Blue Satin Pump
5. Tory Burch Thora Logo Sandal
6. Jessica Simpson Hardy Peep Toe Slingback
7. Nine West Vishnu d'Orsay Pump

Regis and Kelly to Forever 21 - By Shoes

This morning I had Regis and Kelly on in the background while I was getting stuff together and something made me go to their website. Okay, truth be told, I was entering to win a trip, I NEED a vacation. Anyhoo, while I was on there I came across a section called "Fashion Finder" which has Kelly and guests discussing what they are wearing from head to toe. Since Kelly always has the most amazing shoes I had to take a look.
I, of course was enamored with all the shoes and I somehow found myself looking at YSL shoes on Neimans.Which then somehow lead me to look at Jimmy Choo on Nordstrom. Why must I torture myself?

It was there that I was reminded of picture from Elle of the closet of Tamara Mellon, founder of Jimmy Choo. There are no words for how I feel about this closet.
While searching for this picture I came across El Beso who had these pictures of Tamara's London Home. This is when sometimes I feel like I am stalking people.

A closet full of Choos', a wonderful home, sigh. Maybe I should look at some shoes for myself, you know, as a pick me up. Problem is I am pretty sure that at this exact moment there is not enough money in my checking account for a pair of YSL or Choo shoes.

*I must say that some of my favorite shoes these days are from Jessica Simpson, which bothers me. There is something about celebrities having shoe lines that irks me. One of my favorite pairs of shoes I own are J. Lo from 4 years ago and every time someone asks me what brand they are I say, "I don't know" because it would make me cringe to say, "oh these are J. Lo" out loud. I know I have issues. Back to the more affordable Jessica Simpson...Really love the first one...

Need even cheaper? Target has had some good shoes lately. This first pair look IDENTICAL to some I have from somewhere else that are at least triple the price of the Target shoes. The tan pair I think could be cute, haven't seen them in person and I am not sure about the ankle strap, but you never know.


Both of the shoes below are $19.99, now I do know I have that in my bank account, haha. I actually own the pair on the left and they are very comfortable and pretty cute.


Finally, every now and then you can find a good pair of shoes at Forever 21. These are the type of sandals that I want to be able to pull off but I don't think I could. First of all because I am 5'2". Second of all because I not sure I even really like them. I do think they would look fantastic on someone though...
Alas, the only shoes I will be buying soon will be for my husband since today is his birthday and that is what he wants.....
