A Few Good Flats

Embarrassing fashion blogger confession time: I have no cute flats in my closet. Like, not even a pair of boring black ones.

I know it should be some sort of crime (especially considering that my feet are not big fans of heels), but I am severely lacking in this department. I seem to have replaced them with wedges, but sometimes, you just need something a little more casual and comfy but a little hipper than your every day pair of chucks. Am I right?

I have fond memories of flats past, especially my sequined flats from Old Navy. Remember those? I’d love to find a few affordable and versatile pairs to take their place in my heart, because honestly this is just ridiculous.

Here are some that stood out in my hunt;

1.Wanted Ritzy Pewter Metallic Sparkle Slip-On Flats; 2. Old Navy Glitter Flats; 3. Old Navy Cap-Toe Canvas Flats; 4. TOMS Glitter Slip-Ons; 5. A Gloss for Words Flats

What are your favorite pair of flats?

Squeeworthy: Fun & Girly Prints

Can I just gush about how much I love all the really fun and girly clothing and accessories I am seeing pop around the Internets? From someone that enjoys dressing like a 6 year old (direct quote from my mother), I could not be happier to see lots of loud prints featuring polka dots, hearts and other patterns that are generally left for Kindergarteners to rock.

Here is a compilation I threw together featuring some of my favorites (& they are affordable too!);

1. Asos Bouncing Bunnies sweater $27.27; 2. Top Shop Lightning Bolt earrings $14; 3. Asos heart-shaped buckle belt $18.18; 4. Asos Heart Sweater $63.63; 5. Old Navy polka dot sweater $24.94

Happy Hump Day: Adam Brody

Here’s an adam’s apple that probably hasn’t crossed your mind in a minute. I remember watching MTV’s Now What? and deciding that, for being so incredibly monotone, this guy is cute, has an amazing sense of humor, and a sweet wardrobe. My love of all things Brody truly blossomed when he temporarily joined the cast of Gilmore Girls, followed by a full blown Melificent-style fangirl obsession when Brody played Seth Cohen on the O.C. I’ve read in a few places that Brody is a lot like his television personalities, which got me all kinds of excited because our tastes in music and comedic stylings are pretty similar [see: indie rock and sarcastic to the max]. Although I didn’t realize he was “recently” in a couple movies, Jennifer’s Body and In the Land of Women [both added to my queue!], I look forward to swooning over Adam Brody again one day…or just watching reruns of the O.C. on the soap network. 🙂

What I Wore: 2012

What’s up, 2012!

I hope all of you rang in the new year in the best way possible – whether it was in your pj’s with a bottle glass of champagne or living it up with friends while out on the town. I started the year with this fun photoshoot courtesy of the hubs in the design district of Miami, followed by some cleansing of sorts: starting to clear out our garage and move around some stuff in the house (one of my wishes, remember?).  I keep telling myself it is the beginning of a fantastic year, even though I have already managed to be glutened and break glass.
