The Real Deal: Dolce Vita ‘Julie’ wedge
Sometimes, you shouldn’t compromise. When it’s a really fantastic piece, especially timeless wardrobe staples, it’s worth the splurge. I love the current trend in ultra chunky (and heightening!) wedges but I remember a time when very similar shoes were crowding the Goodwill racks. For that reason, I’m wary of spending too much for the look. [...]

But in the May 2012 issue’s “Steal of the Month”, Esther Adams gave a short article on the Joseph Altuzarra collection for J. Crew. [...]

Wearing It: MICHAEL Michael Kors Berkley T Strap Sandal
You may remember from my earlier “To Begin” post, the Berkley T Strap sandal from Michael Kors. I first saw this shoe on piperlime.com and fell in love with the black patent leather and velvet combination. Plus I’m having a serious problem with black on gold right now. Can’t get enough of it. But BOO, [...]

In the garden.
Slow to post today. I spent much of the day working in my garden. There’s just something about earth on my hands….dirt under my fingernails. Plus, I bought a ton of plants from our local university plant sale SEVERAL weeks ago and they’ve just been sitting on my potting bench not being put in the [...]

Izdee’s Dozen: Dot Dot Dot
You can’t sing without the Do Re Mi and no closet is complete without the Dot Dot Dot. It’s officially fashionable to look like you have the pox. I think this trend adds a certain amount of fun and youth to any outfit. The kind of youth you can wear at any age. Polka dot [...]
