Don't Mind If I Choo

I practically drooled over these Jimmy Choo sandal when I first saw Heidi Klum flashing her fantastic legs in them at the Grammy Awards in January. Recently I discovered the tan "Quinze Sandal" has a hot little sister - the black suede booties on the right. GOR-GEOUS! These crystal embellished stunners are sure to add extra oomph to any outfit. you can't go wrong with either color. I love nude colored shoes and the illusion of a long lean leg they give but the black mesh creates a sexy bootie look that is perfect for short dresses. And Heidi isn't the only one who's become a fan. Check out these photos of a few celebrities who share a love for this to die for shoe.

Zoe Saldana rocks the black choice at an event in February while Elizabeth Banks dressed her nude pair with black skinny jeans and a classic Chanel jacket at a pre-Oscars dinner in March. Love both looks!

Diane Kruger, one of my style icons, paired her Quinze sandals with an upcoming Spring trend - a nude dress. The gorgeous Monet Mazur added a little kick to her short black frock. I love that both ladies kept their looks simple and added bright colored bags to complete their outfits. (Oh and Diane... Joshua Jackson aka Pacey Witter will always have a place in my ♥)

Also - if I ever find that $1,795.00 I have lying around somewhere I'm headed out to buy these the second I come across it. :) Happy Wednesday! xoxo

Spring has Sprung

Spring officially kicked off March 20th and it seems celebrities have taken note! Everything from short dresses, to a wardrobe staple are screaming that the mercury on the thermometer is rising! I wanted to share these fashions with you and see if you've already started rocking any looks.

Both of these ladies are sporting the patterned print/tie dye/watercolor trend we saw on the catwalk during S/S 10 fashion week. I love that Jessica Alba's Proenza Schouler frock has a galactic/reptile feel while Kim Kardashian's pink and purple ruffle skirt has more of a feminine edge. Either way they both look ready for warm weather and are double the trends in their short hemlines. Plus Jessica's ocean blue nail polish is fantastic! (Oh and if you want to find out how to make your own creations like Jessica's - Check out this video of Proenza Schouler designers Jack McCullough and Lazaro Hernandez on Martha Stewart)

      

Want to show off your gams in your summer dresses and skirts but need a fresh style take? Add a colorful shoe! I love that these ladies have mixed bright colors with not only black but bold sheathes as well! Bar Rafeli had a head start on this pairing last summer while Whitney Port and Tyra Banks brightened their ensembles a few weeks ago. Check out these super cute pink pumps or these adorable blue platform sandals as a fun way to mix things up and add a little pep in your step.

I am happy that jumpsuits are here to stay! I enjoy this trend because there are so many different ways you can play up this look. Pair it with flat sandals and a light cardigan for daytime or spruce it up with some sparkles for night time. Either way you'll be looking just as hot as these ladies above. America Ferrera's belt stands out against her black jumpsuit and cinches her figure making her a definite Spring Do. And what girl can't say no to a bargain? Apparently Rachel Bilson! She proves her ability to shop affordable clothing and make it look like it's fantastically expensive. Her $70.00 Express Ruffled Romper and gold buckle heels look effortless and Spring chic. I'm glad I can still rock my "one stop shop" piece throughout these upcoming months.

This last trend is one that has been a revolving one for forever! While denim jackets never technically go out of style - (doesn't every fashionista have one in their closet?) they definitely have their shining moments. And I can guarantee that this spring we will be seeing them everywhere. Both Emmy Rossum and Rachel Roy have the right idea using their denim to cover up on chilly spring nights. In addition to being stylish, Rachel's tie dye jacket is one from her own line Rachel Rachel Roy (which I am semi-obsessed with!)

Loving all these spring trends - what do you guys think? xoxo

H&M's Garden Collection

My girlfriend Amanda and I have been waiting for this day for a while now. H&M's Garden Collection fully launchd in stores yesterday. I'll admit this week I've been creepily going to a few H&M stores around town waiting for these pieces to be put out. And finally yay!! But not only is the line fantastic, colorful and totally a nod to 60/70's fashion (and we all know how much I LOVE that!) but the whole entire line is made from organic, recycable and sustainable materials! Recycled PET-bottles, fishing nets and organic linen grown without hazerdous chemicals are just a few of materials that make up this eco-friendly collection. (You can read more about their materials here) Plus with the afforadable price tags it's hard not be a fashionista and green. :) Here are a few of the amazing pieces - including the one above. Flutter sleeves and water color print. Say no more I am hooked!

I was in love with this hippe shirt the second I put it on. The floral pattern isn't overbearing at all and it's super comfy.

These are mine and Amanda's coveted choices. How gorgeous are they? Who knew that Recycled PET bottles could look so chic? I'm already obsessing where I can wear my fabulous white dress. Oh and now that I am getting a closer look at Amanda's bright colorful choice... I think I may have to go track it down ASAP! Super cute! :) Tell me what you think about the collection? Have you bought any pieces yet? You better hurry up before they're all sold out. Oh and for all my readers from my hometown (Raleigh) - They just opened up a brand new H&M in Crabtree. :) xoxo
