Saint Laurent Booties

It's been a hectic few months for me work-wise and, unfortunately, I've had to put the blog on the back-burner. While I am not sure whether or not this is totally the 'light at the end of the tunnel,' it is hopefully close enough to sunnier skies...and I am going to start posting again! I can't guarantee a routine posting schedule, but hopefully little dashes of inspiration here-and-there; a New Year's resolution for 2015!

The Super Bowl half-time show performer Katy Perry sported a pair of silver glitter boots last night. Rarely do I find style inspiration from Top 40 artists, but her sparkly shoes reminded me of one of my fall foot fetishes. 

Saint Laurent made a fabulous collection of glitter footwear that would have been a far more chic - from Twirling Clare standards - alternate for Katy Perry to have sported. In addition to the glitter booties, there are knee highs, mary janes, and chelsea boot options. The price tag, at approximately $1,000 a pair, reflects how really quite fantastic and ridiculous they are.
But, if you can afford to splurge...

If you're like me and are in the ballpark of 'appreciating from afar,' enjoy these pics. Toodles!

Memorial Day Weekend

I thought these spreads captured by the Kiel James Patrick brand, including a "kick off to summer" video, were perfect inspiration for the weekend. 

The lifestyle line is frequently a source for many of my blog themes as it balances youthful and celebratory playfulness with an element of classic and traditional preppiness.

New Year's Eve Sparkle

Some of you may have noticed my style lookbook on the right side of my blog. I try and change the options twice a month focusing on a particular theme. Since it's holiday celebration season, I have featured some of my favorite sequin and sparkle gear. 

Below are some select picks...in case you need inspiration to be glitter-y this weekend and Monday evening (NYE!) 

Dress up the world with a little bit of sparkle, toodles!

disco ball fashion inspiration

Last week I did a post on disco balls (with a little late night swing inspiration from the Bee Gees) and I decided to reintroduce the theme...this time in clothes! If you're lacking a disco ball, twirl around the floor in one of these get-ups and you'll make the party!
