with my pulled tendons in my right ankle...i am going on two months without wearing heels...while i love wearing my flats...i am missing the heels...so what better way to get better...then to buy a new pair...right?

you had me at hello: blue suede shoes...

while blue doesn't usually catch my attention...and i've never really thought about owning a pair...if i loved anything about them...well...it would have to be that handsome elvis sang about them...

that was until...i laid eyes on these babies..."you had me at hello" definitely applies here...and if i was wearing these beauties...i wouldn't want anyone stepping on my blue suede shoes either...

what is your favorite "orange" piece in your wardrobe?

mad about color...

for those that have been reading my blog for a while...you may have picked up on the things that i am pretty obsessed with...leopard...shoes...vintage...and color...i have to say...i have been pretty excited about all the color on the runways...on the red carpet...so...when i quickly flipped through my march issue of instyle magazine...my heart did a double flip for an article entitled "mad about color"...the pictures just popped with vibrant bold colors...these scanned pics by "moi" do not do them justice...

modeled by the lovely liya kebede...styled by the sweetie pie brad goreski...photographed by giampaolo sgura...raf simons's collection for jil sander..well...it does not disappoint this color loving girl...as the opening remarks state "proving simplicity can dazzle when lit by a rainbow"

take for example this silk blouse, peplum & wool-blend pants...but it doesn't stop there...the color...



goes all the way down to the shoes...giuseppe zanotti design suede wedges...um...yeah...i want them...



and this gorgeous color? i have been obsessed...is it emerald green? kelly green? whatever you choose to call it...the green & coral...what a lovely combination...no?
