off post: vogue & SATC

everyone's already heard of sjp and chris noth having a spread in the upcoming issue of vogue. while i have mixed feelings about the movie (whether to watch it or not), i've got to agree that these 2 make a incredibly stylish couple in this shoot.


i want everyone to dress like this all the time dammit. lol.

this is my favorite picture from the shoot! that eggplant dress is BEAUTIFUL.

this is definitely sexy back. how i want this dress too...

aaaand lastly, yes i wish i just had any reason to wear a dress like this!

Ruffle-toe ballet flats

Ruffle-toe ballet flats (seen above in purple print)

also comes in red print, chambray, earth brown, harborside blue, metallic silver, and true black knit.

I stopped by the mall on my way home a few days ago and stopped by the GAP and these babies caught my eyes. I really love the purple and red prints! It's incredibly feminine and perfect for the summer months ahead! Not to mention the pleat detail at the toe. But the BEST part, these flats are padded! Meaning as I tried them on, there was an extra oomph of CUSHION that made wearing them incredibly COMFY.

the other pair of gap black satin flats that im wearing to work today in comparison is paper thin and has no padded soles whatsover!!!!!

so im debating whether to get a pair in size 6 or 7...they both fit...sorta...thats the only trouble with mass produced flats, at times I'm at a loss for which one will actually be comfortable when walking in them all day long (till im actually wearing it that is).

available at the GAP for $39.50

on a side note, my apologies for the lack of posts. life has just been so busy in between work and other commitments. but i'll always be back! and randomly, I hope it doesn't rain tonight because I need a drink after a long week of work, and i'd like to sit outside. :) will pray to the rain gods in between coffee runs.

oh yea, im ready for the democrats to just call a nominee already. i say all out DEATHMATCH between O'Bama and Hill-dog. i as a small media peon am ready for this.

its spring!!!

I'm am really drawn to the details at the toe of this shoe. It also comes in a black (cap toe part) but I feel that the wine color makes it a little more special than your average shoe. Its the kind of shoe I would happily wear to work and know that its not too casual. The pvc material makes me confident that it can withstand weird DC rains and live to walk another day. Plus, this one in particular is not black (were I to buy it!) and that would be a nice way to add color in my outfit. And lastly because its on SALE (all the magic words I need!).

It reminds me of the men's wingtip shoes such as below:

(stacey adams DAYTON)

writer John Kelly writes about the wingtip:

I sing of shoes and the man, of boot and loafer and lace-up, of sneaker and flip-flop.
But of all of these shoes, I sing of one shoe in particular: stout of sole and firm of heel, the upper shot with tiny holes and edged in serrated leather, anointed on its toe with a curious medallion and marked over the instep by a sign, a sign as recognizable as the Z of Zorro or the ankh of the sun god Ra.1 See it? The symbol? From where you're standing it looks like a lazy W, but from where I'm standing -- looking down at the well-polished shoes on my feet -- it resembles a bird in flight about to flap its powerful wings and soar higher still.

I sing of the wingtip.

off post: SIA

L and I caught Sia's performance at the 9:30 club a few months ago. She has a beautiful voice and was very personable on stage. I can listen to her for hours. Her song Breathe Me has been stuck in the head for the longest time. I dont mind though :)
