This past weekend, Sarah took ourselves for a little city escape to Chicago, where we saw friends old (like @emptychampagne and Afrobella) and new (my Twitter love @Truett.) It was a fun weekend, full of yummy meals and lots of festive cocktails, and along the way, I forced Sarah into her old role as my OOTD photog and creative director. My powers of persuasion can be quite strong, you see. Above:
Loeffler Randall's twice-yearly sample sale has begun, and that can only mean one thing - I'm several hundred dollars poorer. I stopped by the VIP preview last night, and was pleased to see a well-organized (shoes are bagged, and grouped by size) assortment of shoes, boots, sandals, and clogs for anywhere from 50 to 70 percent off. Most styles rang in at about wholesale, with select flat leather sandals and clogs under $100.
My haul:
Nadia Espadrille Platform Bootie, was $395, here $200.
Loeffler Randall + Suno Wedge, originally $595, here $275.
Best of all, checking in at LR HQ awarded me this very special new badge from my friends at foursquare - the Kicks badge! It's well-deserved, if I do say so myself.
Shop the sale today through Saturday at Loeffler Randall, 525 Broadway nr. Spring St., 4th fl. Hours: Thurs–Fri (10–7), Sat (10–5).
Cat, that is. You like how I optimized this for SEO, right? Anyhoodle, cat lovers across the internet and fashion (two spheres that, admittedly, love cats) will rejoice in knowing that United Bamboo's highly popular and publicized CAT CALENDAR will be making a triumphant return for 2013. The brand has this time opened up casting to the world, or at least their fans and followers. So, if your pussy was made for fashion fame and fortune, post a pic on the brand's Facebook wall or tweet it to them @UnitedBamboo with the hashtag #catclub.
Now, pardon me while I muster up the best possible snaps of Simon and Violet (below, L &R) - it's time those kitties start earning their keep!
Of my admittedly MANY style obsessions, none have been with me as long as jewelry. I'm not quite a hoarder, friends, but I am most definitely a COLLECTOR and I pride myself on a highly personal collection of pieces - any of which I can, will and do wear daily.
And while I can't always afford to splurge regularly on my favorite designers- oh hai Tom Binns, Pamela Love, Dannijo, Eddie Borgo and more - I have found and subsequently bookmarked a few amazing online resources that specialize in gorgeous, unique and often unexpected pieces.
