BHLDN

Yes, I know it’s a website about weddings (and I don’t plan on making any more trips down the aisle), but that doesn’t stop me from being totally smitten with BHLDN’s website.  Most of you have probably noticed my healthy obsession with shoes, so it should come as no surprise that I spent a good 15 minutes drooling over BHLDN’s selection of fancy footwear.  Take a look at some of my favorites below, and you’ll see why…

So far, spring in NYC has been downright drab and dreary.  So can you blame a girl for needing a little retail therapy?  To combat the gloomy forecast, I set out on a thrifting mission to find bright colors and cheery prints.  My efforts were richly rewarded, and I couldn’t be more pleased with my finds.  Stay tuned for pics of how I style up my new wardrobe additions!

Fancy Footwork: In Search of the Perfect Espadrille

It’s official!  Eric and I will be headed to Spain in a few weeks to celebrate our anniversary and to get some much needed rest and relaxation.  With my vacation plans well underway, I’ve turned my attention to choosing outfits and the search is on for the perfect espadrille to carry me through the streets of Madrid and Barcelona. Luckily, these rope-soled classics are a major spring trend, and I’ve been spotting them at all of my favorite stores.

I spied a pair of drool-worthy braided Stuart Weitzman sandals in Bloomingdale’s a few days ago and just couldn’t get them out of my head.  So imagine my delight when I found similar versions by Steve Madden and Coconuts at much more wallet-friendly price points…

As the temps start to rise, I pretty much abandon jeans.  However, I can definitely see myself prancing around in these denim kicks well into the summer…

And last, but not least, there’s nothing more fun than a pair of flirty ankle wrap wedges…
