when one is not enough...

one of my very dear friends...and a very devoted reader of this blog...sent me this pic last week...while she was in town a few weeks ago...visiting from oregon...we decided to do a little shopping after our lunch...seems the normal thing to do...right?  

we got on the subject of flats...and i of course mentioned hugh hefner slippers...and she of course knew exactly what i was talking about...as i had recently written a blog post titled:  slippers hugh hefner style...

we spotted a great pair...that i forced asked nicely for her to try on...while they were simply adorable on her...they weren't comfy enough...but i told her...that she needed to keep looking...as that was a great look for her...

so back to last week...linda sends me this pic via text...with the following message...

"new purchase - thanks for the tips...and yes - i did need both pairs"

i would have to agree...good job linda!  both will be a great addition to your spring wardrobe...pattern is always a good way to go for a little fun in your step...

in honor of orange...

such a happy color...no?  so today being so fitting to honor this color...whether it be for halloween...or even more so...for the wonderful san francisco giants world series parade today...let me tell you...the city was full of orange and black today...

orange has always been one of my favorite colors...and because of that...i am always looking for some new "orange" to add to my wardrobe...here are some of my current wish list items...

snakeskin in a flat...and orange...with a nice little pick me up heel...so so chic...

j crew

cashmere anyone?  i will never have enough...loved this take on a colorblock design...so cozy...

and don't get me started on this oh so feminine dress...loving the ombre affect from purple to orange...

is orange a color you gravatate to?

are you a collector?

this was the caption on a j crew ad that i saw...and when you turn the page...you see an array of different colored flats...the ad goes on to say that they (j crew) have 20 styles...48 colors...pretty impressive...

so...to answer the question...i would have to say...yes...i am a collector...as i started to think of all the lovely ballet flats i have in my closet...but this gives me something to work towards...i don't think i have 20 different styles...and for sure i don't have them in 48 colors...

are you a collector? dare to list your number? =)

introducing the flatform...

so what do you get when you mesh a platform and a flat? drumroll please...the flatform...as was widely seen on the spring 2011 runways...one of the hottest spring trends is this...um...interesting shoe...

i like the idea of it...i mean...who doesn't want height...and yet...still feel like you are wearing your flats? if i had to choose a favorite...the two below definately have my vote...but the verdict is still out as to whether i love them enough...to get a pair for myself...

what about you? are you loving the flatform?
