Discovery! Must Share!

I am excited. Long, drawn-out story but I just discovered Sam Edelman. I’m almost embarrassed I was not already familiar!  I saw a girl wearing the most adorable boots on ebay and messaged her about them (obv they weren’t for sale but she was nice enough to divulge the brand). This lead me to discover that I am obsessed with any and all shoes by Sam Edelman. Esp these gorgeous booties that friendly ebay girl was wearing:

But it doesn’t stop there!

Literally every shoe is staring at me with weepy puppy eyes begging to have a home on my shoe shelf and my feet.

Am considering blowing christmas savings (who am I kidding?) on them.

A few more faves…

These lovely shoes can be purchased online at tons of retailers. Full list here.

 

(Style Stalker) Becca Henry

I am starting a new thing. Today I saw a girl at work who is always (especially today) impossibly chic and put together. Immediately I decided to “style stalk” the beautiful people of NWA. I politely asked her if she would be first. She accepted. This is Becca.

Becca’s Trimmings: Dress – Anthropologie, Cardigan – Anthropologie, Boots – Private Gallery, Bracelets – Anthropologie & Masons, Ring – Banana Republic

Doesn’t this girl/outfit beg to be photographed?

I never thought I’d want it, but I do.

I surprise myself sometimes…my most coveted items for fall are things I would have never thought I would want.

The Search for Over-The-Knee Boots

So wanting these by MIA found on piperlime. They are so cute on the girl below (featured on piperlime’s website). At $299, they are a bit too expensive for me to take the plunge. I am now in the market for a knock-off of this boot. Please do share if you come across anything!

Getting Chills

Ice Tray (I really need one and cannot find one anywhere!)

There was finally a slight chill in the air this morning when I left for work! So, I’m getting chills thinking about the delights of Autumn while trying to ignore the inevitable disappointments like earlier sunsets, frigid cold and…Winter. Plus, Shop-o-matic (by NYMag) has released a 100 Reasons to Get Excited for Fall edition.  Of course I have some favorites. Find all of them here.

I can always use another wine stopper…

As I said here, I’m digging skinny cargo trend, the above are from Old Navy

The must-have accessory for dance parties: iPhone speakers

Lovely little dress from H&M

$72 cut-out dress from Fred Flare. I. Want. It.

Suede Stillettos. Mmmmm.

Gargoyle rings!

Chambray shirt. I have a vintage work shirt that I can’t wait to bust out.

Dish drainer. For those that don’t have a dishwasher, like me.

Biker leggings. Umm. I must say I dig on these. This version is by Tory Burch and is above my current price point for pants I will only occasionally wear…but I will be looking for knock-offs…oh yes, I will.

Sauce pot. Getting hungry now. “Someone’s in the kitchen with Dinah” is for some reason playing in my head…

Tall boot by Cole Haan, again out of my price point but I am equally excited to wear my less expensive, less chic tall boots.

I’m dying over this fuschia sofa from Ikea. Sooo delicious! And only $200 more than the Cole Haan boots!

Leopard scarf. I’m in.

Detachable Ruffle Collar. Actually detachable collars in general. I will be in search.

As previously stated here, I’m a bootie-hound!

Shearling jacket. Or in my case faux-shearling jacket.
