Instagram-tification and want awesome affordable shoes?

Don't we all love finding great shoes at even greater prices?  I found these Sam Edelman studded pumps at T.J.Max for like half the price that goes online.  I love how studs are popping up everywhere in fashion lately.  Glam Rocks!
Red Rooster in Harlem has recently been in every piece of print I've read lately, even Vogue, and we finally paid a visit this past weekend with a group of friends.  The place has a very hip and young environment and the decor is pretty unique and different.
The weather couldn't have been perfecter.  We were lucky we were able to sit outside.
I love this dress.  You can't just keep thinking one day I'll dress like that! No! you have to do it.  Life is short and we're not getting any younger so to all of you who are like me and admire people who dress modern and young with an edge, go for it!
This is the view from the playground I take Lucas to and it's one of the things I'll miss the most when we leave.  Let's keep in touch  you can follow my instagram by clicking here.

I'm looking for the perfect: Loafers

As much as I love to dress up and wearing heels, I think heels should only be used strictly from the car/taxi to the event.  During the day, to walk around town flat shoes is my only option.  I'm very into the tomboy kind of look lately.  I know, I'm fashion-experimenting.  Still.  These cute loafers are to live by.  In pair from top, from left to right: Opening Ceremony, Collete, Jimmy Choo, Etsy, Valentino, Charles Philip, Dieppa Restrepo.

Friday Eye Candy: Shoes

These past few days have been airlessly hot.  Perfect days to linger indoors under the wonderful AC or in a pool.  Hopefully the weekend will cool off!  Enjoy your weekend!

God Save My Shoes!

What woman doesn't love shoes?  The psychology behind this (in some cases) obsession is documented in the film ~ God Save My Shoes opening during New York fashion week, then on to Paris.

My client Beth Shak is showcased in this documentary along with Fergie, Kelly Rowland and others.  It explores the relationship women have with their shoes.

When designing the closet to showcase her collection of 700 or so pair of Louboutins, we took a small sitting room off the bedroom, moved a doorway, measured the depth of several rows of shoes for the pull out drawers and voila!  A shoe closet to die for.



Let's look at some other enviable closets housing a shoe collection that even Imelda Marcos would be proud of..





Fergie

I tend to like a lighter colored closet.  I want the clothes to "shine," and lighting is so crucial when dressing.  Darker colored walls can often fool the eye, but I do love Loree's look.

The key to a successful closet design is organization.  There should be a home for everything.  Really think about what you need storage for and fit it out for each particular garmet or accessory.


Tamara Mellon has 2 shoe closets to covet.  I assume one is in New York and one in LA.  As the founder of Jimmy Choo we'd expect nothing less.  Look at that collection of black shoes alone, crazy!



Special occasion or out of season shoes get photographed and housed above.  A great organizational tool.  You also heard of the rule:  If you bring one thing in, dispose of another.



I love the backlit  shelves.  The shoes become sculpture.  I personally love when the shoes are displayed one facing forward and one backward.  That way you see one toe and one heel.  I do that in my own closet.  Having a chair or ottoman to sit on in the closet is a nice luxury if you have the room.

This is Khloe Kardashian's shoe closet.  I wonder what Kim's looks like?




Mariah Carey's closet is almost as famous as she is.  Her closet is a great example of a really well thought out design.  It gives new meaning to the phrase, "Shopping your closet."







Lisa Vanderpump from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has a closet that is anything but REAL for most of us.




Celerie Kemble created a little jewel of a closet in an apartment in New York.  I usually like everything laid out before me when I walk into a closet, but in a tiny space everything must do double duty, so putting the shoes behind a mirrored door makes good design sense.





What would your dream closet look like?

Not your common loafers

You have to agree with me that these Christian Louboutin loafers are the mother of all loafers, stylishly speaking.  They look surprisingly comfortable, hip, modern, and simply amazing with a heavy dose of rock and roll.  They are available at Saks by special order in case you're wondering.  I think they rock!!!  Below is a selection of more affordable loafers but still stylish and young.  Enjoy.  Top image via Stockholm-Streetstyle.

The cheetah and glitters gold and silver at Jades24,  white loafer with bow is from Urban Outfitters, those cute blue ones with the red bow are available at Nordstrom and green Gucci softy tek loafers in suede is from Mytheresa.

LOOK!!! Stripes, in every shape and form!

Without being redundant I can't resist professing my eternal love for stripes, one more time.  I seriously cannot get enough of it.  It has turned to a point where most of the gifts I'm getting lately either have some stripes or are completely covered by it.  I bookmark all the striped things I come across.  This list here are some of my favorite things in stripes right now.  I'm sure I've left some out that I will eventually post.  Enjoy
These Claire Vivier in leather with silk screen stripe are not only chic but they are also really affordable. 
 A bold art statement on your walls can literally brighten up any day by Jonathan Lewis here and Coach is designing some seriously cute bangles, this one is hip and bohemian. 

Resort Cabanas has really glamorous Beach cabanas.  B&B Italian UP armchair & footstool, striped by Gaetano Pesce is just adorable.

Zara large blouse, I think Zara is making great clothes for this Summer.  I can't wait.  Prada sandals, you gotta love it.


Cup and saucer here and the tribal stripes on this cotton rug is definitely calling my name, I think I would love it more if it were in multicolu, at West Elm.

Shoes, shoes..Lovely shoes

Women’s love for shoes is undeniable and who can blame us? I'm loving the global chic influence on these wedges by Oscar De La Renta and the flat sandals below would be perfect to stroll flea markets on Sundays. Which one would you pick?

Love color

A perfect way of living a life, surrounded by beautiful shoes displays, open fire and beautiful shades of pastel colors. It sounds like Marie Antoinette.
