VIOLA Flower Ballet Shoes

Viola Flower Ballet Shoes

Available online at Top Shop for $36! Another dainty floral flat, lovely eh? 

Vine Mesh Flower Flats

This is a delightfully quirky flat with a mesh flower trim and star prints in a taupe color. Even better is that its only $40 and is available at Topshop.

Today was one of those really incredibly stressful days and as I relax in my bed looking at shoes online, I feel totally appreciative of just the beauty of amazing shoes. It may seem a little silly, but looking at beautiful things (like shoes) calms me down and helps me de-stress from the craziness of life. But perhaps my favorite type of therapy is retail therapy so online window shopping should be relaxing :)

Speaking of retail therapy, I ended up impulse buying at Ann Taylor Loft tonight as a friend and I were discussing some recent stress inducing craziness. I bought a cute jacquard skirt and a silk tiered cream top. Do I feel better? An teensy bit! I might return the shirt, maybe...

I did resist buying an Alice Ritter dress from GILT today that cost $59, that should count for something right?

soir de lune flats

I am going gaga over soire de lune flats. Yoox.com has a fantastic collection of them available now. I love the feminine touches of bows and straps (whether thick or thin) really adds something to the shoe without going overboard.

The prices are between $100-180 which isn't cheap, but not ridiculously expensive either. If your looking for simple but definitely chic ballet flats, you can't go wrong here!

the question is whether they are comfortable or not. I'm still looking for reviews on these babies.

L and I are going to be in new york this coming weekend. While I'll be busy with "work" during the day I'm already planning out my shopping stops. I would just kick myself if I didn't go.

I was watching The Rachel Zoe project on bravo yesterday (there was a marathon and i swear there was nothing else to watch lol) and she got some beautiful vintage pieces while she was at fashion week. I wish I could remember the name of that store...

While I don't think I can afford the stuff she wears, I'm definitely going to have to make a stop at Top Shop. I met one of the hiring managers for the store quite randomly many months ago while she was in DC for the weekend and I'm so happy its finally opened!

My other must must go to: Uniqlo because i need cheap cashmere cardigans.

Mmmm does anyone have any other suggestions to where I must definitely definitely stop by?

Luving gray

I love topshop! They have some great pics for affordable prices as well. Here are my current favorites!


of course there had to be a flat!!!! this is absolutely adorable! it's such a dainty maryjane that just screams femenine to me.






not surprisingly all my favorites are some shade of gray. i am absolutely in love with the color! its a wonderful basic and a great alternative to black.
