Hi Ho Silver

Laminated High-Heel Sandal with Ankle Strap, $59.90, Zara

Flat Crossover Metallic Tone Sandals, $79.90, Zara

I have a real thing for silver right now and was psyched to come across these silver pointy-toe mules from (where else) Zara. Lurv. And as sisterly fate would have it, rlr mini just bought the casual sandal version. What are the odds? Pretty good, I guess, considering we share similar fashion genes. I've been on a gold rush for such a long time that maybe it's finally time to sidle my way back to silver. Thoughts? Are you on Team Gold or Team Silver? It's a tough call really...not sure if I could ever choose...

Friday Find: An Of-The-Moment Moto

AE Denim Moto Jacket, $59.95, American Eagle Outfitters

Originally posted in The CLOSET

When it comes to jackets, moto bombers are currently where it's at.  The tell-tale exposed angled zips, oversized lapels and cropped silhouette will make you look like you're ready to hit the open road, even if you actually drive a mini-van.  Shhh...I won't tell. In this jacket, you'll look edgy and cool - like a true biker babe, minus the high insurance premiums and bugs in the teeth.  

I love a moto jacket because it's so super versatile - I wear mine with white skinnies, a buttoned-up blouse and pointy-toe pumps when I want to look polished, or even layer it over my flouncy skirts and floaty summer dresses when I want to add a little edge. Most of the current crop of moto bombers are leather, and thus not super friendly to budget-minded beauties - luckily this AE score is only $59.95 (!) Crazy, right? Now that's a fashion risk I'm totally willing to take...

Happy Friday! Vroom, vroooommmm....

Spring 2013: Accessory Report

ALDO's fun Spring '13 Campaign - Photo courtesy ALDO

As a fashion blogger, I'm  constantly tempted by trends.  I spend a good 8-10 hours each day either staring at, speaking about, shopping for, or writing articles about pretty clothes.  In the beginning, it was total torture;  I wanted every single thing and would rearrange my whole day so that I would just 'happen' to be in the 'hood of say, Club Monaco, just when that to-die-for piece hit stores.  While researching a trend story on shoes online, I would often accidentally click on the 'add to shopping cart' button and somehow click the 'buy' button in the process.  'Whoops!?'  In the beginning, I felt cheated because my fashion blogger salary was nowhere near my Dior/McCartney/Tibi tastes...
