Obsession: Neon Yellow: Enzo Angiolini Color Block Pumps

As my obsession with neon yellow rages on, I found these gorgeous Enzo Angiolini color block pumps:


Sigh . . . oh, god I love these.

Accents of neon yellow paired with a neutral color makes them more versatile, less loud and more timeless. Neon is such a trend right now and it's everywhere. 

Trends like this don't really last. But then again I thought that about pointy shoes, jumpsuits and rompers and they are still around to some degree. Anywho . . .

I've been shopping online at Bloomingdale's ever since I got a gift certificate for Christmas from a broker. Thanks to my old job. I used some of it on much needed MAC make up but since then nothing has really excited me.

I've been looking for new shoes or a dress to wear to the wedding I'm going to in July. But no dice so far. I found a couple of shoes that I needed or a dress I liked but didn't fall in love with anything. I mean the I-have-to-have-it-am-obsessed reaction.

I have actually cash money to spend there, so I want to buy something I truly love (as opposed to need; see above) and instead of shopping for a good deal (which I always do and still will), I wanted to buy something expensive (which is all relative).

These shoes pretty much fit the above bill.

Only I don't know if I would actually wear them :(. I don't wear tall heels unless they are super comfortable any more because of all the walking around one does in NYC.

Plus, the older I get the less I want to wear uncomfortable shoes. Eh, I'm getting lazy :).

But I do love them . . .  

Trend Report: Rocking Dots: Polka Dots for Everyone

I love a great polka dot print. I don't rock them all the time but I do indulge occasionally.

In celebration of Jess "I rock a lot of polka dots" Day , here are a few dresses that anyone who has an inkling to wear polka dots can rock.

If your style is more Charlotte than Carrie:

A great boat neck is flattering on almost every figure. The twist knot detail gives the pattern a twist (ha!) and makes it on trend (I almost sick of seeing twist knots every where). It's classy, figure flattering and a little of fun. You can buy it here.

If you're into the 1950's now and then (c'mon I know you get my reference) like I am or Ms. Zooey then this just might be the dress for you:


Out of the two, although I would wear both, this one is definitely more my style. If Carrie and Charlotte ever shared a closet then this dress might live in it. It's a dress I can imagine dancing in, strutting down the streets of New York in it with either my red heels or purple wedges or black round toe flats, and generally having a good time in it.

I think I would end up wearing it for years. You can dress it up or down, the office or a night out. Winner! Available here.

For a more classic and tailored look, I really love this DKNYC dress:


It's floaty, breezy and undeniably feminine. I love that is a button down and the sleeves can be rolled up or down. The weather in NYC is getting nicer and nicer, so I can't help but to imagine wearing this to work or brunch with my girls. You might be able to wear to a day time wedding if you accessorized with the right shoes, hair, clutch and jewelry. Since it's navy, not black, I would pair it with my wood stacked heel brown leather sandals.

I can see Miranda wearing it.

What do you think? Are polka dots your thing?

Trend: Belt Bracelets

While perusing online I noticed a trend I don't recall ever seeing before: belt bracelets. At least none so obvs. as these:



Can you guess which is Coach? Prada? John Hardy? Male? Female?

My personal fav is the bottom left. I would definitely sport it.
