Spotlight on Summer Shoes

A couple of weeks ago I had to attend a cocktail party at 6pm and had a major shoe dilemma. I would have to ditch my very comfortable sandals (it was also a very steamy day!) for something more night time appropriate, but nothing too uncomfortable as there would be a lot of standing and mingling. I looked in my closet and only saw chunky winter platforms, fancy evening shoes and flats. I was missing a very important heel: the summertime day to night shoe. So the hunt began (and it has not been easy I must say!).

*The Sartorialist*

When it comes to heels and warm weather I am a sucker for a wedge. I find them way more comfortable and they are a great heel to transition from day to night. I hate feeling like I am way overdressed when I leave the apartment for an early evening party - wedges keep it simple, but still chic.

This J.Crew wedge is a great height for trekking around the city and gives you a little bit of preppy sass!

Love this Donna Karan platform wedge, so sleek and chic...

Great color options for this wooden wedge!

The perfect espadrille for a warm summer night!

Sometimes though a wedge just doesn't work with the dress code and a cute pump is necessary. A lot of classic pumps are either boring or have way too high of a heel (like the Louboutins I wish my feet could stomach for more than a cab ride). I am really loving Kate Spade's Karolina heel: comfort - 3" heel - plus style.

I love this minty blue color, perfect for a fun summer "classy" heel

A nude shoe is something I am seriously in need of and I love the fun stripe detailing on the heel.

Gotta love a little faux ostrich...

Are you a classic heel or a wedge kind of girl?

How To: Hang Art

Elements of Style (if you don't read her blog, you should!) posted this great guide on how to hang art and I wanted to share it with all of you. I have been putting off hanging anything in my new place out of fear that I would not correctly space things or end up with glaring holes in the wall. This guide, courtesy of the Lost Art Salon in SF, is a saving grace and great tool to keep on hand. No more excuses, get that gallery wall going!

Click here for the complete guide and tutorials.

My source of inspiration when it comes to hanging art is hands down the home of Kate & Andy Spade. It definitely has a relaxed and casual feel even though it is what some may describe as "cluttered!" Not me though, I find it to be totally visually appealing. Their collection is not to shabby either...

Happy Friday!

Somehow it is already Friday and another very slow blogging week has passed me by - it has been a tad crazy with our impending move, but my Friday resolution is to get back up on that bike (so to speak) and start blogging more frequently next week!

Learning how to ride a bike would be a good resolution too (I never quite perfected that in my earlier days, oops)...especially when there is a bike like the Adeline Adeline + Kate Spade collaboration above. Those are some wheels I could get behind!

Have a great weekend!

*Bikes are available exclusively in Kate Spade stores (only 1 per store, so get a move on!)

Fancy Feet

I am officially over my love affair with boots. My feet have had enough! After months of hibernation I think they deserve some extra special shoes for their big debut this Spring...

Floral beauties by Kate Spade.

Jewels, metallics and rose gold by Giuseppe Zanotti. (swoon!)

Polka dot perfection by Miu Miu.

An air of Missoni with these dainty flats by Bloch.

It's about time your feet got some attention!

Just Because: Bryce + Kate

A quick teaser of Kate Spade's forthcoming ad campaign featuring the lovely Bryce Dallas Howard has me eagerly anticipating the release of the rest of the images from the Spring 2011 campaign....

I would love to....

1. Live in the colorful loft space...

2. Be able to pull off Bryce's fire engine red hair...

3. Carry around a megaphone (should the need arise for one, better to be prepared!)

4. Sports tons of neon...

5. And last but definitely not least...Wear polka dots every day.

All About Kate

I popped into the Kate Spade store in Soho this week and fell in love...with it all. In fact, I told my friend that I wanted one of everything!

Bags, bags and more bags...

The Storm King Willa bag is simply gorgeous in person and it's that type of leather that is sure to look better with each wear.

The Pop Art Pearle clutch screams "girls night!"

My lucky friend, Bridget, took this beauty home with her. The Gold Coast Evangeline bag can be used day or night and exudes "chic-ness."

Stay warm this winter...

How insanely adorable are these mittens - the "taxi" pair has my name all over them.

Fun takes on the old-school ski hat...

Oh, argyle - how I love thee!

A little of this and a little of that...

I desperately needed one of these polka-dot thermoses this morning, a fun way to get your morning jolt!

A great hostess gift or addition to your own tablescape: polka-dot coasters!

These New Year's cards look oh-so-similar to my favorite Scalamandre wallpaper...it'd be silly not to purchase!

I 100% need this key fob (hint: Santa!)

Bring on the ballet!

I am actually excited to be packing up my sandals and dusting off my flats... ballet flats are so versatile and look good day and night. Plus with the abundance of options out there today you can spice up any outfit just by throwing on a pair!
