i want this
I’m looking for some kind of platform for spring. I’m liking the wood clog like shoes that are coming out. These Givenchy Studded Wood Platform Heels are the best ones I’ve seen yet. They are pretty high with a 5.25″ heel and 1.5″ platform. The rubber sole is promising for comfort. images: ssense.com
These Dries Wedge Booties by Marc By Marc Jacobs are fun shoes. There is a lot going on with the brown trim and patent leather navy but I like them a lot. They are very schoolboyish. I can see a myself in these with a pleated skirt, white tshirt and a schoolboy type satchel (like PS1 or Chloe). The rubber sole on the shoe should make the 4″ heel more bearable. images: ssense.com
The Proenza Schouler Tweed Button shorts are so perfect. They are high waisted and a bit tailored.  I like the side closure that leaves the front of the short zipper free. They are also lined. So perfect, yet so expensive at $850/ images: ssense.com
I had to take a break from nail polish after Whistler because I broke a nail pretty badly while I was on vacation. I was waiting for it to grow out and it finally did. So I’ve been back to nail fun. Wearing OPI Don’t Mess with OPI. I’m still looking for an army green or moss colour that isn’t Joe Fresh.

The classic, minimal and versatile black handbag was a massive whole in my ridiculously large collection of handbags at home. I had the all the colours of the rainbow and various fabrics but not handbag 101: black, functional, multipurpose. I would always admire the Rebecca Minkoff M.A.B. (Morning After Bag) Bag at the a2zane store on Queen. I finally bit the bullet at a2zane and purchased the M.A.C. Clutch which is smaller than the M.A.B. bag. The strap can be adjusted to shorten it or it can be removed. I wanted a smaller bag because I have to many big bags. Big bags always result in me carrying more crap I don’t need. With a smaller bag, I have to be strategic with what I decide to carry with me, eliminated a lot of useless things. It’s only been a few days and obsessed with this bag. I love the shape, the size and the looks. The strap is a great length. I’m in love with the bag and it has filled so many wardrobe …
I picked my top pieces from the Gap’s Spring 2011 delivery and I’ve decided to do the same to the summer 2011 delivery.

Last summer, two of my favourite maxi length dresses were from the Gap. This summer two of my top three picks are maxi dresses. I like the relaxed fit of the jeans. They look comfortable but also fitted. images: courtesy of the Gap
