During the Kate Spade Friends & Family I concentrated on items for my gadgets.

Ciao Ciao Ciao iPhone Case – I love this one! Reminds me of my vacation two Summers ago. Currently, it’s sold out at Kate Spade.com you can find it at Nordstrom too.

Racer Girl iPad Folio Hardcase – I like dressing up my iPad. It helps to have it in a case as I don’t drop it very often. I shattered the glass on my last one. Yikes! I was looking for something a little smaller and sleeker and love this one. It also has a hardcase back and isn’t as bulky as the one I had been using.

This one will also sit Portrait and Landscape without issues.

Photo Finish Odometer Coin Purse – I am completely obsessed with the Kate Spade coin purses and have several (Owl, Champagne, Sunglasses). Though I don’t use much cash these days, any nickel, dime or penny I have goes in the coin purse. They can’t hold anything more than that. And Gigi and I are Coin Purse Twins!

And while waiting for my Ciao iPhone case to arrive I found this one at Nordstrom.

Have a Great Day!

I’m a little obsessed these days with Tory Burch and Metallic Shoes. So when I saw the Sadie Slingback Pump for Pre-Order at Nordstrom I clicked on through and waited for a ship date. Sadly, when they arrived they were a half size too big. I had ordered my normal size 7 and the slingback does not adjust. They are sold out of the 6 1/2 so I wasn’t able to exchange them either and were returned.

I stopped by my Tory Burch store to see if they could find them somewhere for me as they were also sold out in my size online. Luckily!!! one of the SAs said they were getting the shoe in on Friday. Woo Hoo! So, here are the size 6 1/2 which is a much better fit.

The pointy-toe is not bothersome and my toes are comfortably in the shoe without being pinched.

They definitely elongate the foot.
I decided on this smaller heel so that I can wear them more often, like I would a pair of regular flats (Which I just happened to find at JC. Wait until next Shoes-day!)
Leather lining and soles; you have a love a well-made shoe.
Like the Audra Sandals, I am in LOVE with the heel detail. It was protected in felt when I opened the box. I know they won’t be seen much but I’ll know, and you will too!
More Sadie options…

Doesn’t the white seem to have a little 60s vibe? Too cute!

I am so very happy I was able to find my size in these. I have been waiting on them ever since I saw them in a magazine back in January. And they will look perfect with my Talia Dress!

Happy Shoes-day!

Wanting to try a few more shorts for Summer as well as the Lace Stripe Skirt in Strawberry Rose I ordered during the SHOPNOW.

Lace Stripe Skirt in Strawberry Rose – I previously tried on both the size 6 & 8 in-store and decided on the size 6.

The color is just as I expected and not too pink. It’s more Coral-Pink and very pretty. The pockets are always a nice feature.
Grotto Pendant Necklace will look great with the Silk Crepe Maxidress in Brilliant Blueberry.
Collection Antique Floral Shorts – I liked the print of the Antique Floral Skirt but new I wouldn’t wear it but once or twice before selling it so I chose to try the shorts. I have the print in the Merino Silk-Panel Sweater and love it! These fit well in my normal Shorts size 8. These are not lined and are a Cotton-Silk blend. 

Collection Silk Foulard Shorts – Again, I love this Foulard print in the Minnie Pants I have so I wanted to see the shorts in person. I was hoping they weren’t too delicate of a silk and I was right. They are lined and are very comfortable. My size 8 seemed loose until I sat down. Sizing to a 6 would cause pulling across the hips so I would stick with your normal size. 
So here’s where it gets a little odd. The button goes through two holes and then hooks, making an asymmetrical drape in the front. There is no other zipper or buttons on the shorts.

There is still the 30% off sale going on as of today. If you use FACEBOOK25, you’ll also receive 25% off full-price items, with both promos ending today.

Ladies, you know when you find that one item, be it a dress, skirt, hat, shoes, something, and know in an instant, without trying it on, that you love it. Then comes the dreadful part where you have to try it on, praying and hoping it fits, looks good on you, or flatters you because you really love said item.

This happened to me a Nordstrom last week. I was “making a return” of some slips that did not work out and took a glance at the Kate and Tory items. I saw the Talia Poplin Shirtdress and knew in that instant that I loved it. Then I saw the sleeves and they looked a little tight. But I grabbed a size 8 and, optimistically, went off to the fitting room.

  
I’m Cinderella and this dress is my glass slipper. The Talia Shirtdress was a perfect fit. Especially in the shoulders and arms. I can move and breath and am comfortable in it. 
I originally pinned this dress from the Tory Burch Fashion Week images so it has been in my head for a little while.
The back is just as pretty and detailed as the front. 

The colors and details of this dress are beautiful. They blend so well together. It’s cotton with a little spandex and lined in Cotton, which is so perfect for Summer.

This little detail is at the bottom of the dress. This image is true to the colors on the dress. I love how vibrant they are.

I didn’t buy this immediately but left it on hold to think about it. I wanted to see if something else caught my eye but the dress and I were meant to be as I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

And a shout-out to Wendy because as soon as I saw this dress it reminded me of her backyard and garden (scroll down). Wendy, has Tory been to your house? Maybe she saw your post and was inspired!

I cannot wait to wear Wendy’s Garden Dress! I have it on in the first pic with the Martina Metallic Wedges but will probably wear them in the Summer with the Lillian Mirror Metallic Low Wedge Sandal. I also have these little pretties coming to me. Look for a Shoes-day post next week on them.

Have a Great Day!

I was looking for a not-quite-white bag. I wanted something structured and classic. Enter the Robinson Open Dome Satchel in Ivory from Tory Burch. I have another Robinson Dome, in Navy, that I used almost  daily last Spring and am currently using now {review}.

Though I love that you can zip the bag closed on my Navy Robinson I like that this bag has a center zipper section so you can still keep your wallet and other sensitive items secure while having your sunglasses/cell phone/make-up, etc., handy in the two open sections.

This bag also comes with a Cross-body strap, which is handy for those weekend shopping trips. The leather is Saffiano and it comes with little feet at the bottom of the bag.

It’s a good size. Not too big or small. Though it fits on my shoulder the drop really isn’t long enough to keep it that way comfortably for any long period of time. I usually carry my bags in my hand or the crook of my arm.

  

I was making a return and found the Kerrington Tote. Though it comes in three other colors, I love this print with all the sunhats on this large tote. This is a true tote bag, completely open on the inside. I definitely see using this as a nicer beach bag or even a travel bag.

Love those sunhats!

There are no interior pockets but it does have a small leather pouch on the inside to protect any valuables you have.

Again, this is a large tote and the drop is longer making it more comfortable to wear on the shoulder.

  
And here are a few fun Sunhat items. Several of these items are now on sale!
Have a Great Day!
