Monday Blues With A Lil Plaid Too...

Happy Shoesday Tuesday lovas. Yesterday was a chilly day in the citayyy and I am so over this weather. I am so ready for some dresses, skirts, and sandals I don't know what to do with myself. In the interim, however, I kept it cute with a blue on blue look for the day donning my Stan Smith Adidas, GAP jeans, Old Navy Jean Jacket and Uniqlo Navy Blue Turtleneck.

Of course I needed to add a pop of color so I threw on my Uniqlo red plaid overcoat and my grey Westerlind hat to top the look off. It was the perfect combination for this ridiculous in between weather moment we are having. But dahlings, spring has most certainly sprung and we are here for it!!

Sweater It Out

Hey lovas. Happy Holidays! I hope this season of comfort and joy is treating you all well. Its been a couple weeks since my last post, but fret not. Mama has been working hard, long and fast and furiously to bring you the final Shoe Stories installation of 2014. In the mean time, in between time, here's a cute a little Shoe Files post for ya. Enjoy!

This was the only item from the Isabel Marant x H&M collection I purchased last year and let me tell you - it was worth it! I most certainly have gotten my cost per wears out of it.

I woke up this morning complaining about not having enough pairs of plain black pumps et voila, a lightbulb went off in my head and I remembered these luscious Marni x H&M collection lucite heel pumps that were nicely stowed away in my closet. This is why you can NEVER have enough shoes - your lightbulb moments need to come true...often!

The shape and geometry of these babes are perfect!

The Switch Up Queen

Hey lovas, how's it going? Missed ya mucho! Welcome to the first installation (I <3 this word) of Shoe Files. I'll be sharing quick snapshots of all my favorite 'stomp and shout' worthy looks, keeping a 'file' of my fav shoes and 'tracking' where my shoes have been. 

I've been going back and forth on whether or not I wanted to launch this feature on the site. See, I don't want this to be your typical style blog. My passion is in really telling the story of others that love shoes just as much as I do. BUT then I thought, why would you listen to me if you don't even have a chance to enter my own closet?!?! *Light Bulb Moment* Welp the wait is over dolls and dames. I caved!
