Presenting J. Crew's Italian Shoe Collection

J. Crew should be on everyone's speed dial. Their classic looks and tailoring should be staples in every girl's closet. Even FLOTUS agrees. She often snapped in J.Crew attire, given the brand more notoriety.

Their clothes and accessories have a way of making a girl look effortlessly chic and classic. And they have done it yet again. They have launched their Italian Shoe Collection, with the claim, "Designed in NYC, made in Italy." Who could go wrong in a pair of Italian shoes? We know, if there is anything the Italians do right, it is SHOES.. Here's a preview.. **photos courtesy of J.Crew

 I have decided to put together a few looks utilizing this wonderful shoe collection. I hope it inspires you to go classic! :)

CHARGE!!! My Weekend Shopping Finds

Ok, not really. I am definitely not Betty and Wilma. However, I did have fun shopping and making more jewelry this weekend.

S. Korea is full of underground shopping troves where you can buy great looking items on a budget.

I got this fabulous hunter green faux croc satchel bag.

 So classic and so me. And the quality is quite good for the price I paid for it. Let's just say this bag was less expensive than a trip to the movies.

I decided to pair it with a necklace from my SS2013 collection. The Mythos Necklace features glass pearl beads, sun, moon and spear charms and green jasper beads.

I thought it went perfect with the bag. Now, all I need is an outfit and a pair of shoes.  I have been drooling over these shoes from Shoe Dazzle. I could order them now but I wouldn't see them for six months. It would cost me what I paid for them to be shipped here. So I will order them and send them to my mom to hold for me. #drools.

Then I bought this really cute yellow clutch bag and I soo look forward to styling it. I am feeling a nautical theme coming on..

 

 

Here are a few more pieces from the S/S 2013 Collection Serica Via.. The collection is based on the ancient cultures along the Silk Road with a modern twist of course.

Inana Protection Bracelet $15

Mogadishu and Anubis Spike necklaces $38 ea.

Inana and Ishtar Rosary Necklaces $38 ea

I hope you guys had a fabulous weekend. I know I did.

Toodles for now!
