Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

Sweater: Kate Spade; Dress: Shoshanna; Shoes: Jimmy Choo

As you probably already know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.  Which means that everything is pink! It also means that this pink has inspired me.  As I was window shopping online the other day, I saw this bright pink Shoshanna dress and was immediately struck by it.  I thought that it would make the perfect cocktail dress, which is particularly fitting since maybe you'll have a pink-themed breast cancer awareness gala to attend!

I am a particularly big fan of the line Shoshanna, and many of my dresses for weddings and even for work come from this New York based designer.  Her pieces are always perfectly feminine and fun, without being too frilly or over-the-top (I say as I post about a hot pink dress the 5 year old me would've loved).

I paired the dress with a simple black cardigan from Kate Spade.  I love this cardigan with it's little crystal bow buttons... they really add a little black-tie element to an otherwise simple wardrobe staple.

Finally, this Jimmy Choo pumps are my dream evening shoes.  I have a friend who has a wedge version of these, and she wears them pretty much all the time. I'm so jealous! Well, maybe someday.

Until next time,

Charlotte Olympia Reads My Mind

It's no secret to those that know me well that I love anything with a sense of whimsy, and Charlotte Olympia's collection is always full of it. For those of you not familiar with her, she is a London based shoe and handbag designer who is most well-known for her famous Kitty Flats (previously seen on my Cat Flats and Sparkly Collars post). I got those for Christmas last year, and I have to say that every time I wear them I get a big smile every time I look down at my feet! 

If I could, I would buy almost every pair of shoes that she designs, but I don't have that kind of money or that kind of life where I can wear sky-high shoes and glamorous flats everyday. 

These new shoes from her most recent collection are another pair that might end up on my wish list sometime soon. 

Charlotte Olympia flats from Neiman Marcus 

These shoes are perfect. They have black satin uppers and are accented with tiny pearls that look like white polka dots from afar. Which means that they basically include most of my favorite things: ballet flats, pearls, polka dots... what more could a girl ask for? 

Until next time,
