Pretty flats
2009-09-23 17:45:00
When fall rolls around and as I pack away all my summer sandals, I always like to update my flat collection. Especially this year I’ve been living in flats. I’m looking for rich colors, soft materials, eye-catching embellishments. Jeffrey Campbell Suede Zipper Ruffle Ballet Flats $115. I’m really loving the ruffle trend on shoes this year. It’s totally appealing to my inner girliness. Love these suede ballet flats with layered ruffles in bright pink. Bloch Patent leather ballet flats $165 $99. Bloch ballet flats are simply one of the best, comfortable, durable and classic. I just love the unique candy-like orange shade. Maloles Zoe satin flats $290 $174. So pretty and delicate. F Troupe Patent Saddle Shoe in Red $145 $73. Perforated patent leather upper with leather sole. Very British-chic. Trisha Metallic Accent Flats $65. Love the mint color. I don’t think it’s a strictly summer color. They will really pop against dark opaque ...

Marc Jacobs’ Lola
2009-09-23 02:49:00
Lola Marc Jacobs Eau de Parfum $65 I’m not a big perfume wearer, and I’m certainly no perfume connoisseur. I just let my nose decide if I like it or not without consciously deciphering the layers of notes. I really liked Marc Jacobs’ Daisy, I’m not surprised that I also love Lola. The gorgeous bottle is what attracted me first. I adore the bouquet-like cap. This bottle would make a gorgeous accessory on you vanity table. So of course I couldn’t resist giving it a sniff. The mix of floral scents was absolutely delightful and intoxicating. Sephora describes it better than I would. “Lola is Daisy’s older sister. This warm floral bouquet conveys the free spirit of today’s sexy, modern girl – she is playful, cool, and flirtatious. The long-lasting, day-and-night scent opens with pink peppercorn, pear, and ruby red grapefruit. Blooming midnotes of rose, fuschia peony, and geranium make a feminine statement. Layers of vanilla, ...
