Beautiful Spectators!

I love these shoes! Where can I find some? Hmm...ebay?

For the love of Monochrome

Some gorgeous monochromatic picks from forever21...
A lovely satiny bolero+smocked all over.

So elegant... tasty.

Pretty tee!!

This little guy is only around 12.50= I think I'm in love. I'm on the hunt for great summer hats and this one is totally in the running. They also have it in a natural straw color too. Maybe I'll get both. :D

Gorgeous!

This is an excellent idea for a tank top or tee makeover.

How about this for a tee shirt?

I really like ruffles. :)

Pretty: nice pleats.

Black lace: another textile/trim I just love. It's not too sugary. This application is lovely because the light tone in the underskirt shows off the details in the lace. I think I want one.

I adore the flower detail on the side: so pretty!

Fun. :D

Black makes funky details like this suede pom instantly subdued and more elegant.

How pretty is the detail work on this skirt?

I passionately love spectators, though I could never pull off a heel this high. My feet would hurt.

Saturday Spectators

Well, this wasn't on my list of things to do this afternoon.
I did a quick random search for spectators on etsy (I'm still looking for the black and white kind) And happened to spot these good-looking little numbers.
They're size 9.5, nice short kitten heel, navy+white,vintage and in very good condition.
I bought these from : http://www.retrostation66.etsy.com/
I love spectators. :D
I hope that they can ship these to me next week. I read in they're shop policies that it could take 2-4 weeks? to arrive, unless otherwise requested. I requested. I'm always antsy to get and play with by new 'toys', like a kid waiting for their ice cream at Baskin Robbins.

So tasty.

Friday Spectators

I have recently begun a love affair with spectator shoes (I never knew what they were called before, if you're like me and are a super curious-trivia junkie look here for the 411 on specs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectator_shoes)
Well, anyway, I was fussing last night to my chum Alex about not being able to find those adorable vintage shoes in my size (my feet are a size 9 when we're talking pumps, I can sometimes wear size 8.5's when they're flat).
I have been looking for: firstly: Black and white, I saw them on a movie a month ago, and decided that I really liked them. Secondly, brown on brown, and after that brown on white/cream, red on white/cream, or navy on white/cream.
These shoes were not originally what I was after, however, they are vintage, they're my size (I measured my feet before ordering to make sure, most vintage sellers DO NOT accept returns, so I try to order savvy) they are not scuffed all over the place, the heel won't murder my feet if I wear them for more than 5 minutes,
and they are oh so classy and oh so pretty.
Love at first sight.
I didn't buy them right away, I left for town to run errands etc. and I just kept thinking about them and by the time I got home, I was to the 'I have to have them' overheated shoe shopper stage. Time for a little classic style.
I've been spring cleaning my wardrobe/closet, and am shocked by how many shoes that I have whose overriding characteristics are: Foam, neon leopard or striped patterns, and 'too big, too small, too pointy'. Yikes. Time to have the shoe collection grow up just a little.

I'm surprised that I couldn't find these in my searching last night, kudos to Alex for spotting these.

Mine,mine,mine. :D All mine. Yay. :D

I wonder how soon they will come...

I'm going to enjoy these.
