I need a new coat like I need another hole in my head.  Which is to say, I don’t need a new coat, BUT… how amazing would it be to trot about town this winter in one of these??

A soft pink wool coat!  LOVE. And if Kate Beckensale is on board, I am too!

Amazing with grey, perfect to dress up jeans… Obviously fab with black and white, and the perfect femme touch for leather pants.

AND… if you weren’t already sold it’s a breath of fresh air among the black, grey, and brown colors of winter!  Don’t you want to stand out??

Perhaps this will go on my Christmas wish list this year…..

You guys!  I’m SO sad!  My beloved leopard print flats that I pretty much wear every. single. day. are on their last legs.  You can’t really tell from this picture, but after two years of constant wear, they are literally ripping at the seams!  So sad!

These are the Sam Edelman “Beatrix” flat in “Nude Leopard”.  I love the black cap toe with the jagged burrs… they make them now with a gold toe, but I am NOT a fan of how the gold looks… bring back the black!!!

I’ve searched high and low – Nordstroms, Bloomingdales, Amazon, eBay,  Zappos… even random sites (there was one called “Shoe Bunnies”… no I’m not kidding)… and I literally cannot find the same ones!  It’s very upsetting!

I’ve finally resigned myself to the fact that I will not be able to find the exact same shoes as a replacement for my current leopard beauties, so I’ll have to look at some alternatives.  I rounded up a list of potentials here, and plan to do a little more hunting before fully committing.  In my opinion, leopard ballet flats are THE MOST versatile shoe. I wear them like a neutral, so they get worn with everything!  EVERYTHING.

What do you think about these options??

Of course I like the most expensive version (Stella McCartney) best… why oh why?!

One more day and I’ll be beachside… HOWEVER, I’ve got a few fun posts lined up for the rest of the week!

I’ll be back on Monday, relaxed, refreshed, and hopefully not burned like a lobster!

Adios!

In less than 72 hours, I’ll be laying in my beach chair, sipping an icy margarita, and listening to the waves crash on the beach in Cabo.

A few girlfriends and myself booked a quick trip to Cabo for a quick escape from city life.  I plan to come back very tan, and very relaxed, but today and tomorrow is all about packing my bags for our trip south of the border. When I think mexico, I think beachy hair, bikinis, and bright colors, and this list covers my essentials for this little getaway…

Possibly the most essential item to pack on a tropical vacation is your swimsuit.  I’ll be spending about 70% of my day in one, and I’m all about the bandeau style bikini.  It’s especially great for the first few days to avoid tan-lines from a triangle top.  I also could not leave without a big floppy hat – the sun is STRONG and we want to avoid wrinkles at all costs.

I love everything about a maxi dress, and I plan on bringing a few – they are so pretty blowing in the breeze, and they are equally comfy as they are feminine.  They are usually not super tight around the mid-section which means, bring on the tacos!  I won’t be holding back!  I’m all about the aztec prints out in stores right now, and these are so perfect for a trip to Baja.  I love the blouse-y short number almost as much as I love the black white and yellow bandage dress!

Comfy footwear is important too – especially with cobblestone pathways, and sand everywhere. I’ll most likely spend most of my time in a comfy pair of gladiators, but it’s nice to have a few sassy options for a night out on the town – bright striped espadrilles, brown laser cut wedges, and these yellow Jimmy Choo’s are on my dream wish list for sure.  How amazing are they???

Accessories make an outfit, so I plan on packing a few bold statement necklaces and fun bracelets, and I wouldn’t dare go on a beach vacation without a big sturdy tote to drag all my magazines, and sunscreen to the pool.

Just making this list made me sooo excited!  Off to pack!
