Leather Ballet Flat

Your pockets too shallow for a pair of Repetto's? Buy the GAP leather ballet flat instead. It's on sale for $39:50! I'll have to drop by the mall soon to try these on, but in the past most GAP flats I've worn have been very comfortable. I'm guessing these ones will be as well.

GAP vs. BCBG JACKET WAR!

I am a HUGE HUGE jacket person. This is the one consistent piece of clothing that I have been obsessed with since a little girl. I love jackets and if you look into my closet, you will see one too many, from winter coats, to spring trenches, to blazers, to biker jackets...well you get the picture. I'm always in search of the perfect all occasion piece that is comfortable and stylish at the same time.

Right now I'm obsessed with these two below. The first one is from the GAP. It's a puffer jacket, but the design feels Chanel-ish to me. The second one is from BCBG and I love it so much because it reminds me my other coveted love - a Rick Owens leather number. SIGH. But anyways, I've tried on the BCBG one in person and it is like down comforter hugging you!!! It was sooooo awesome. BUT it also costs $168. The Gap is $98.

So if you were me, which one would you get?

Alexander Wang & Vena Cava for GAP

My oh my! Mark your calendars for June 16 because thats when the GAP designer exclusives go on sale! This time around Alexander Wang and Vena Cava are re-working the classic khakis.

Here are my favorite pieces from the collection:

I can't wait to get my hands on these!!!!

pwetty!

Why lookie here! It's Flower suede ballet skimmers (what a mouthful!) from the Gap!! A great alternative to a more expensive gorgeous pair of miu miu's that came out last spring. Comes in blue slate (seen above) and motorcross khaki (vrooooom!)

Available at Gap online for $48.

GAP goodness

a few weekends ago my mom, sister and I made our way to the Leesburg Pike outlets where I found a soft grey peacoat sweater that reminded me of a less expensive mike & chris hoodie. I haven't bought too many things from GAP since the design vs. retail price just doesn't seem worth it. but upon finding this sweater for $40 it screamed buy me, buy me now.


today i found myself wandering over to the GAP website and clicked on their romantic collection which has the text: sweet, polished vibe with a casual vibe. The color pallete consists mainly of pinks, creams, khakis, bluish-grays, and whites. Materials include cottons, jersey and silk.


My favorite piece from this collection is the cropped bomber jacket for $68.


A chunky, textured basketweave is the perfect counterpoint to the great feminine details, like puff sleeves and a cropped length. An unexpected, edgy belt rounds out the look.

The ruffled cami in Nude Rose is also a wonderfully soft and feminine piece.

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.
