Tory has done it again...

OK sorry about the post- exams are this week for me so I made this post in about 10 minutes. I was a little rushed :-)

So as if Tory Burch's line couldn't get any better, she comes out with a new ballet flat. It totally resembles the Chanel ones and I absolutely love it! Thoughts?

Patent Serena Ballet Flat by Tory Burch $225
She made one with a tan body and a silver toe but I like this color combination way better because I think it's more classic and elegant.

And here is a similar pair from Chanel (just ignore the boot thingy)... they are absolutely adorable (and I want them really badly) but truthfully, I much prefer the Tory Burch one.



Finally- here is an article from Teen Vogue this month about Chanel flats, if you have it, read this article because I never knew that the toe cap thins and lengthens your legs. It kind of makes me want to buy the Tory Burch pair. :-)



And here are just a few cute things I found online the other day:

Dylan Dress by Diane Von Furstenberg $265
I just love this dress! the bodice, the color, and it is by DVF

Magnolia Square Top by Ella Moss $171
Just love everything about this one...

It seems as if P&G may be getting inspired...

So I was looking online the other day and I came across these Juicy Couture flats...well I am like 99% sure that they took the idea of having the medallion on the toe from Tory Burch's line of footwear. Which I am a little- hm- how shall I say it? miffed? Because the Tory Burch ones are way cuter and for the most part less expensive (and she should have like had a patent put on the things because now everyone is copying the idea of having the elastic-backed flat for fall) Check it out- see the similarity?


Parker Flat by Juicy Couture $250
And don't think I'm trying to be mean but in my opinion, they put the little gold thingy way too far away from the toe. I mean it may look way different when it's actually on someone's foot but it does look quite awkward and a little off center in this picture don't you think?


Reva Flat by Tory Burch $195
Much better in all aspects.


Just as a side note- while I was looking on the Tory Burch website (www.toryburch.com) I saw this cool new addition to her line of flats! And since I am such a big fan I really wanted to post them!


Glitter Infused Reva Ballet Flat $275
Hmm...I don't know quite what to say about these except that they are very festive.

Just as a side note- I thought I'd just include a few of my favorite looks from her Spring 2007 and Fall/Winter 2007 show because I was just so impressed by them!

Spring 2007:





So sad but for some reason I could only bring myself to post one outfit from her fall/winter show. Even though all the clothes were absolutely gorgeous and you totally need to check out the collection at style.com, I really just can't even think about fall clothes because that means it's going to get cold again and I am such a fan of warm weather and going to the beach and being able to wear tank tops and shorts and skirts and...well you get the picture.

However this outfit does look quite nice. I am absolutely lusting after that camel coat paired with those boots...

And I was just looking online the other day and I found this adorable (if not overpriced) little clutchy thingy that I think is absolutely adorable! I probably will not be purchasing this one but I plan on looking out for a similar one in the future!

Mimi Small Cinched Satchel by Kooba $295
But aren't you just loving the metallic detail and everything on it?

Kate did something right

No it's not her new line for Topshop, even though I think that what I've seen so far is great- I'll leave it to the other bloggers to tell you about that. I know that it is really old news but I just wanted to post this portrait of Kate Moss that was taken for the National Portrait Gallery. So I do think that she's pretty in a way but I'm still not a big fan of her dating Pete Doherty and partying like 24/7 when she has a daughter at home. Not to mention the cocaine incident...but I'm not even going to get into that. So bottom line, she's not in my good graces at the moment but I do really like these photos of her. What do you guys think.






My ideal summer outfit:


See by Chloé Bib Front Shirt $240
I know pretty expensive but isn't is so cute? I won't be purchasing it but you can DIY, but here's an alternative.


Damsel Sheer Baseball Henley $24


Citizens of Humanity Electric Guitar Mini Skirt $132


Rope Belt at Urban Outfitters $24


Tory Burch Silver Flats $195

Shopaholic's Summer Shopping List

The title pretty much says it all...


Flap handbag by Gerard Darel about $270
My favorite new handbag! I love these things, they are roomy and are slouchy (I tried to find a picture that demonstrated this but couldn't). Adorable! (P.S. Gerard Darel is a French designer and his bags are a lot more expensive over here in the states so I suggest that you try buying them off of a legit French website becaue once you convert euro to dollar, you'll save quite a bit of money. Take this from someone who learned their lesson.)


Outsiders Wayfarer Sunglasses by Ray-Ban $100
I've really been meaning to pick up a pair of these classics.


Reva Ballerina Flat by Tory Burch $195
These are so cute and comfortable! Not to mention they come in the prettiest colors ever! (P.S. these shoes are like the best sellers for spring and I barely got my hands on my pair but if you're interested, order them off of www.toryburch.com instead of a department stores websites because of their long long long waiting lists)


Beach Mini Skirt by Sanctuary $98
Nothing exciting, just a cute mini


Shirt Dress with Rosette Slip by Rebecca Taylor $415
Probably not going to buy this one (out of my budget) but I am definitley going to be on the lookout for something similar. I love the slip underneath with the flowers (or rosettes or whatever they call them now)


Navajo Thong by Jack Rogers $85
I seriously live my life in these shoes. I have like 4 pairs and the more I wear them, the more comfortable they become. Not to mention they come in about 15 colors and shades!


Teardrop Gem Necklace by Gorjana $105
This necklace is just so simple and cute!


Small Shoulder Buckle Bag exclusively at Urban Outfitters $28
Cute, small and affordable bag for going out at night


Waldo String Bikini by Ella Moss $106
Here bikinis are as cute as her clothes! (as if they could get any cuter)


Surf Spray by Bumble and Bumble $28
Perfect for those natural looking curls and/or waves that you always have at the beach but can never achieve at home. A favorite of Molly Sims.


Wire Wrap Hoop Earrings by Gara Danielle $92
Love these because you can wear them with so many colors!


Low V Empire Waist Dress by Splendid $122
I love the ruching under the bust and besides, you can never go wrong with Splendid.


Croquet Patchwork Madras Short by Jcrew $60
Perfect for just about anything. I just picked out one pair from jcrew because I didn't want it to be like overload but check out their website because they have some really cute stuff this season. Very very nice


Leather Jazz Shoe by Jeffrey Campbell $88
I really like the style of these shoes. I see Kirsten Dunst and Kate Bosworth wearing similar sytles all the time.
