I’m generally the gal who sits on the sidelines watching trends come and go like the changing of the tides. But every now and then, something comes by that completely rocks my world. And this season my friends it’s… the off-the-shoulder top! Prepare to see A LOT of them on the blog in the coming weeks. If you’ve been keeping up with my real-time adventures on Instagram and SnapChat, then you’ve already been warned. What can I say? When I find something I like, I run it into the ground tend to stick with it!
Speaking of things I’m obsessed with lately…
I recently took a (short-lived) break from wearing high heels, but now I’m back with a vengeance. However, after visiting the Shelly’s of London showroom a few weeks back, I’ve been passing over my stilettos in favor of chunky platform heels like the ones you see here. Besides serving up some serious 70s-by-way-of-the-90s nostalgia, they give me the height I crave (useful for towering over my fellow straphangers during my morning commute), while keeping me stable on those mean NYC streets.
And if you haven’t heard of Shelly’s of London yet, definitely check them out. They’ve been peddling funky kicks in the UK since 1945, and now they’ve crossed the pond to make a splash stateside.
