Some weekly catch-up...

So obviously I have fallen off the wagon with blogging everyday. Trips, weddings, and work have sadly taken up some time but in an effort to catch up here are some sites to keep you distracted...

Monday Muse:
My heart goes out to those in Japan and I love how the design community has responded.
Tuesday Travel:
I saw this suitcase by Orla Kiely yesterday and fell in love.
Wednesday Wish:
I wish that I had more time, more time to spend with my fiance, craft, cook, blog, exercise, the list goes on and on.

Thursday Tidbit:
Pantone has definitely taken their brand to a whole new level with Pantone Universe and I am kind of obsessing about a bike but they have EVERYTHING.
Friday Fashion:
Hearting these Brian Atwood Maniac Metallic Leather Pumps.

Wednesday Wish: Louboutins

Oh someday I WILL have a pair of my beloved Christian Louboutins.

Friday Fashion: Milk and Honey Shoes

What lady doesn't love shoes? And what about the ability to design your own shoes?!?!? Well, we are all in luck because Milk and Honey Shoes does just that. You can design your shoes from style, to height, colors, materials, embellishments, even the width! Yes, please! Sounds like a dream come true. Has anyone tried them and are they comfortable?

Friday Fashion

I just received the latest Anthropologie catalog (one of my favorite things to receive in the mail) and there are some very pretty things! My two favorite, I-must-have items are this fabulous pair of Braided Basket Pumps and Elegant Angles Bag. Birthday next month? I think so.

Perfect Sunday find...

What a glorious way to end my weekend. I found these luscious purple suede peep-toe booties by Stuart Weitzman at Last Chance. I heart.

Fly London

While abroad I discovered the most adorable brand of shoes. FLY London has some amazingly fun footwear....and they were pretty comfortable. I am kicking myself for not purchasing the pair of shoes I tried on. (See below, but there were in bright, neon yellow)

May I please have...

These amazing booties by Lucila Iotti found on this delightful website The Net Boutique. I apologize for all my shoe post lately but these were just too good I had to share.

Platforms

I don't know why but I think this time around platforms are calling my name.

I have never really liked them in the past however after finding a major steal on these neon orange Stuart Weitzman Metro High Heel I am kind of obsessed.

I think the next ones I have to have are these Enzo Angiolini 'Starlite' Platform Pump in nude (p.s. they are patent!). Do you have a favorite platform?

Hello shoes

1. You need to go to Net-a-Porter.com right now to fulfill all your high fashion needs. (They are having a sale right now)

And 2. I am dreaming about these Marc By Marc Jacobs heels. A shoe to take any outfit from day to night.

Oh Summer TOMS

Have you see the new summer shoes out for TOMS? They have plaid and draw strings and stripes and wedges! Oh my! They are getting to have some wonderfully designed shoes.

Organization

I am getting the bug to organize and deep clean the house. One of my biggest challenges is what to do with shoes. I have the bucket filled with tennis shoes and flip flops then all the heels in boxes. Boxes take up so much space. I love this little shoe rail by Design Within Reach, so simple and clean.

Oh! How I must have!

These shoes someday. I'm thinking they would be perfect for a wedding day...probably only in my dreams as they come with a hefty price tag but they are simply fabulous. Divine. Beautiful. Girly. Etc. My ultimate fancy shoe and by none other than Christian Louboutin. The Lady Claude 120 Pumps are peep toe pumps made from pale gold leather and encrusted with iridescent Swarovski crystals. I'm drooling.

Latest Shoe I am coveting

Aren't these adorable? I have been drooling over these Vans "Sophie" shoes in black/white for a couple days now...I think I must order them tomorrow.

Shoe Heaven

Any die-hard shoe fanatic probably has or wishes to own a pair of Christian Louboutin. There is just something magical about those red soles. What do you think about this pair, Beaute Strass? I think they would be a good first pair by the one and only.

Speaking of shoes

I got a new pair of booties over the holiday and I am so excited about them. I have been eyeing them since a trip to NYC a few weeks ago and then found them onsale...perfect holiday gift to myself. By Dolce Vita and called Webber, these booties have pull tabs and a bow in the back. Hurry and get your own pair before they are all gone.

If you love shoes

If you love shoes you should go check out the Elle Shoe Diary. I am not too sure how often it is updated but there are some pretty fabulous ones on there. I especially like the Givenchy shoes above.

New shoe obsessions

I have a pair of TOMS and they are super comfortable but I saw these ones and fell in love. How perfect are they for winter! The Cordones are wool or canvas uppers, arch support, great colors, laces, rubber sole...I must have a pair but I cannot decide which one. Hmmmm.


For something a little more fancy I spotted these fabulous Black Magic Heels at Anthropologie. They look so sassy and comfortable. Too bad they are running a little low on sizes, otherwise I would be very tempted.

My Wonderful World of Fashion

I don't know how many of you are obsessed with fashion but I found the best book! It looks like so much fun and I can't wait for my copy to arrive. Seen on Cool Hunting, My Wonderful World of Fashion: A Book for Drawing, Creating, and Dreaming is the coolest coloring book ever!

It contains 272 illustrated pages by Nina Chakrabarti. She has decorated these delightful pages with such things as patterns, models, shoes, trends, flowers, jewelry and clothing...basically anything to keep a girl occupied and dreaming for quite awhile.
