Love! Love! Love this look! The leather sleeves and the stylish kicks - hot! I've been debating whether or not to jump on the wedge sneaker bandwagon. When I first discovered them a few months ago, I kinda had a love/hate relationship with them. They were the Isabel Marant 'perkins'. I loved the idea of a hidden wedge in the sneaker but disliked the bulkiness and with a $700 price tag I wasn't too pleased either. Then I spotted the 'boston' (featured on the left)...which isn't as bulky to me as the others, but the price remains the same...bummer. Luckily, I found this Zara version (which need to come back in stock asap!)...they resemble the perkins a little in color and height, but are a little sleeker and more my style. What do you think? If you're loving this look as much as I am, you can get the look for much less at Zara (shown on the right) with this top and these sneakers and if you're willing to splurge you can get the top and sneaker from the 1st look here and here.

Pumped Up Kicks

Lost in the Art @FNO
These pants are a STEAL!!!! Run, don't walk to your nearest H&M!
I wore my new peplum top and printed pants for Fashion's Night Out in New York City last night. I was shocked that I didn't see more fashionistas in these bad boys...let me explain...My little sister is off to college this year (so proud of her!) so we decided to do some back to school clothes shopping for her. Our first stop was H&M. Of course, I couldn't help but pick up a few things for myself and off her and I went into the fitting room...she grabbed the same pants in red and I, the printed version. We each came out to get the other's approval and we gave each other the okay and I said 'you know, I shouldn't be shopping!' Imagine my dumbfounded expression when my sister excitedly screamed 'they're only $12.95!' What!?!?!? The amount of money I spend on work pants (usually from Banana) and jeans (which range from Gap/Zara to JBrand/Seven/DL1961) is astronomical compared to this! I still can't believe it...I ran out of there before they discovered that $12.95 is just way too good of a deal.
