this or that?

This?

Or that?

Both are shockingly similar. One is almost 5x the price.

And let me tell you....the 1/5th price shoe looks MUCH nicer in person.

fall flats

It's 90 and humid but I'm craving fall weather. I think a huge trend for the fall is going to be menswear flats. I'm a huge fan of flats and they're a staple in my wardrobe.

I'd gladly sport any of these this fall.

School girl flats from JCrew

Quilted & Buckled from Cole Haan

Suede & Frills from Banana Republic

Suede Driving shoe from Cole Haan

and these aren't menswear but how cute are these? Go JCrew!

sandal time

It's finally becoming sandal weather in Chicago. Can I just say, it's about time!!

I'd like to add each and every one of these sandals to my closet.

What's a cute pair of sandals without a good pedi? These are my go-to shades for this Summer!

Essie Colors: Splash of Grenadine, Turquoise & Caicos, Bachelorette Bash

What kind of sandals are you going to sport this Summer?

Colorblind?

I'm a sucker for classic colors. My closet is 60% black, 20% white, 20% miscellaneous. I need some color in there!

So it came as no surprise to me that I would pair a cream cardigan from Anthro with monochromatic accessories.

Sometimes you just stick to the basics, I guess!

Vintage Coach Crossbody, MICHAEL Michael Kors Shoes, Ann Taylor Loft Necklace

Chains and Jewels? Sign me up.

All in the same color family.

I really try to stay away from being super matchy-matchy but this one might have done me in!

Do you tend to stay in the same color family when accessorizing?

Or do you like punches of color?

A Day full of Hmmms

You know those days when you feel like you can't make a decision, can't remember anything, don't know what to do with yourself? That was my day today.

Should I go to Starbucks? hmm

Where did I put that JCrew reward? hmm

Should I mail these cards today or sit on the couch? hmm

What is my problem, people?! It's a BEEEautiful day in Chicago and I wandered around the house like a lost puppy! But, in my defense I did hit some snags.

Bought these super cute Tory Burch flats the other week and they're painful. Not like hmm let's break these in, more like AHHH my feet feel like hell! So I didn't know what to do. I couldn't return them seeing as I've worn them. And I don't know if I have the heart in me to even attempt to break them in

How perfect is that metallic color? Too perfect!

Anxiously awaiting some of my birthday goodies to be delivered from Anthropologie and JCrew. And a perk! I just got the 15% coupon today for my birthday from Anthro. YAY!

I'm hoping that beige sweater looks as cute on as it does in the picture. The two bigger necklaces are JCrew and I think I'm in love with the one on top! It's hard to see but the purple Anthro sweater has really cute ruffles (and an even better price tag!)

So basically I was useless today. Oh well, we're all entitled to these days here and there, right? Now I'm on a serious hunt for a new pair or metallic ballet flats. I mean, I live in them come fall! There has to be a good pair out there. How do you feel about these?

Anyone else having a meh kind of Wednesday? And please, if you know of some cute metallic ballet flats...send me some links!!
