Christian Louboutin Navy Satin Bretelle Sandals

…THESE. They make me gleek. They’re super sexy in a 1940’s glam sort of way, and I love that they’re the less obvious, more modern navy.

I always love to look at vintage fashion pics, and while doing some online perusing came across this photo. Having nothing to do with anything (except for the fact that her bikini is kind of fabulous) is that a rack of ribs she’s displaying…?

Chloe Striped Zip Pants

Aside from the obvious fact that she is in desperate need of a sandwich, I’m on the fence about the pants. I can’t say that I don’t have a dissimilar pair of ‘vintage’ (read: 80’s) Cynthia Rowleys hanging in my closet as we speak. We’ll see. That being said, this Chloe pair seems to be a foray into things to come; harem pants (*GASP*) are all over the runways for Resort ‘09. You in…?

Silence & Noise Belted Navajo Cardigan

$78 at Urban Outfitters

I’m a sucker for a cozy sweater, possibly because I so infrequently get to wear one in SoCal. Every time I put on a big chunky cardigan, I can’t help but think about an ex who always said how unattractive they are; that only other girls liked the way ‘those’ sweaters looked on girls. That being said, I couldn’t care less and am particularly drawn to this one. I think because it’s not unlike one that I dug up (literally) years ago in the dollar bin at the Goodwill. It is my most favorite sweater ever, and whenever I wear it I receive lots of compliments. I love the colors and print on this one, and picture it w/ black jeans, boots, and the dichotomy of a soft, cotton, lacy tank. I’m usually a big acrylic sweater snob, but my Goodwill fave is super soft and even easier to care for - just throw it in the washer and dryer. (Not to mention it’s super kid friendly.) The fact that’s it’s not so ‘precious’ makes it all the more so to me.

Forever 21 Femme Cargo Jacket in Olive $27.80

In answer to several of your questions about stay at home mom alternatives for the playground, this is a great pick. A fresh stand-in for a sweater, it would be perfect over jeans and a tee with your new fall boots. It also comes in grey. At twenty eight bucks you can get two!

I just bought these jeans the other day and I could not be happier. I LOATHE jeans shopping. I’m 5′4″. Enough said. I just brought them to the tailor today and am thrilled. Took my fave Marc Jacobs stack heeled boots with me, and had them hemmed accordingly. I hadn’t ever tried PDC jeans before and I’m glad I did. Since I’m short and a bit curvy, I’ve always worn Sevens, J-Brand or my trusty old school Levi’s. (And Diesel if my ’skinny’ jeans count.) I love the way these fit my body, and above all they are comfortable and flattering. Check them out if you haven’t already! (PDC Jayne Jeans at revolveclothing.com)

I’m sure these have been discussed ad nauseum, so I’m not getting into it.
