Sally Tseng & Seychelles At Wink + PROMO CODE!

Y'all, Chanukkah's super early this year, so please please please someone buy me this amazing top from Winknyc.com:

($215, Sally Tseng, Winknyc.com)

I love how it's sorta punk-chic -- from afar, the yellow detailing almost looks like graffiti, but up close, it's sweet and femme. And grey and yellow is one of my fave color combos.

($86, Seychelles, Winknyc.com)

I also adore this gold criss-cross-strap heel -- such a great holiday shoe, and I find this style to be way more flattering than Mary Janes, especially on short folk like myself. I'm also dying for the antiqued ivory pair below:

Finally, be aware: Wink NYC promo code! 15% off the entire site through November 27! Enter THKGV7. Yay! Go forth, be thankful, and spend!

These Boots Are Made for Bloggin'

Oh, hi! I've been laying low lately, did anyone notice? I'm yawning back into the binge zone because I need to know: WHICH BOOTS TO BUY?? So many, many, many lovelies. Help me decide, won't you?

I've been dying for a pair of off-white boots since Aiken was a boy. These might be the Ones! Seychelles "Dirty Laundry" boots, $179.95. They also come in tan and black. Which brings me to my next hmmmm:

BCBGirls "Petler" boots, $178.95 with an instant $25 off = $153.95. A reader tipped me to these as a nice alternative to Loeffler Randall (aka $750) boots. These look mighty fine to me.

Steve Madden also has some tempting boots this season, and after getting so much mileage out of the pair of his I got last year, I'd gladly sign up for another pair. Such as these "Intyce" boots, $199.95. Comes in black too...which to buy?? I might have to boycott, however, based on the ridiculous spelling. Seriously, there's no call for that.

Then we have this funky number: the 80%20 "Jackie" hidden-wedge boot, $188. Don't know why, but I'm just drawn to these.

And obviously, these Frye "Sam" boots, $398, are just f'ing awesome. Someone buy for me? Perhaps with the thousand bucks I was just overhearing we should all be stuffing under our mattresses for when the world ends? Just a thought.

Electric Blues

I'm seeing so many pretty pretty princess blues in electric, royal, cobalt and other shades. Here's a round-up of blue beauties.

JUMPERS
($175, Doucette Duvall, Ylli)
The first is by my beloved Doucette Duvall. So beautiful. Sigh.


($229, Rachel Pally, Amazon)
So comfy looking.


($89, Sarah Luna, Ylli)
Usually I'm pretty anti denim, and I'm generally against denim anywhere above the waist, but this is really lovely and would look so nice with a wee black cropped jacket, black tights and black boots in the coming cooler months.


($34, Bloomingdales.com)
Cutes!


($65, Splendid, Amazon)
Comfort City!


($407, Cindy Lee, Revolveclothing.com)
I absolutely love this shade of blue. Reminds me of that Lipsy dress Lily Allen wore to the Concert for Diana. The dress, by the way, is sold out at Lipsy but available at Asos.com.



TOPS
($173, Geren Ford, Bergdorf Goodman)
Just another reason why Geren Ford is quickly becoming one of my favorite indie designers.


($225, Nanette Lepore, Shoptwigs.com)
This would probably look terrible on me, but the color is gorgeous.


($30, Nooworks, Modishoppe.com)
Fabulous shade.



DRESSES
(Apprx $192 USD, Jasmine Guinness, Oli.co.uk)
So elegant, and I love the button detailing on the back:



(Apprx $127 USD, Toast.co.uk)
Very Laura Ingalls Goes To A Small Liberal Arts College. The yellow sash makes it so much less stodgy.


($25, eBay)
It says lilac, but whatever. This style is super perfect. I always get excited when I find stuff like this in thrift stores, because the cut is always so flattering.



SHOES
($46, Seychelles, Lulusfashionlounge.com)
Yay for $46, boo for only size 7. UPDATE: JK! They're here at Zappos.com for $83, and check 'em out in white! Loves!


($52, Seychelles, Lulusfashionlounge.com)
Best. Would rule with a pink or yellow top and some grey jeans.


(Apprx $188, Chie Mahara, Toast.co.uk)
Amazing. Perfect height and shade. And also lovely in yellow.



($306, Miu Miu, Monamoore.com)
Mainly I think tie-dyed stuff belongs only in the recesses of our collective American memory of 1960s cliches, but these are one outstanding exception. They make me wanna do tons of sit-ups so I can just walk around the house naked, save these.... Okay... so nothing is worth that many sit-ups. But still. The intent is there!

Now go snack on this awesome and relevant old-school video:

No, Thank YOU, Seychelles Thank You Note Taupe Heels

($92, Seychelles, JBAndMe.com)

Presently I'm wearing these wonderful Seychelles "Thank You Note" taupe slingback heels, and I could WEEP they're so cute and comfy. They're cute and remind me a bit of the old-school "house shoes" my grandma always wore. Also, how cute am I -- I'm wearing them to a bridal shower. Get it? "Thank You Note"? HEE! I'm a freaking genius sometimes. Also, JBAndMe items always smell like fresh laundry when they arrive. They're wonderful people.

Seriously, Seychelles "Thank You Note" -- heaven sent.

SHOE COUP UPDATE! (Also: Dresses!)

OMG, I'm fully KVELLING over here, y'all! After I finished my shoe post late last night, and after I contained my shoe boner over these Seychelles flats:


I found myself -- as many of us up late on the Innertube often do -- searching for porn. Now my porn does not consist of man meat or massive mammaries or group wankings or water sports, mind you. I'm talking shoes. My porn is pumps, k? Online shoe sales are my fluffed-up, misted-down naughty hot bodies.

So you can IMAGINE the ... um... rush of blood to my head when I searched for the aforementioned pornographic piece and FUCKING. FOUND. THEM. ON. SALE. FOR. SEVENTEEN. BUCKS. Oh yes. Right fucking here at Dillards.com What wha??? I love you, Dillard's! And I love you, shoe porn! And you, Seychelles. I love you most of all!


K, now that I've chayled a bit, here are some dresses.

($158, Eliza J, Nordstrom.com)
I know it's sorta cupcakey, but I love the '50s feel.



($47, Aqua, Bloomingdales.com)
Super cute jumper, very all-seasons.



($106, Lynn Ritchie, Bloomingdales.com)
Hm. I know I said that giraffes are basically the permanent new black, but I can't tell if I like this dress or not. Yay or nays, y'all??



($198, Single, Bloomingdales.com)



($298, Ya-Ya, Bloomingdales.com)
I'm sorry, but this is just a hot mess. You can just tell Carmen Kass is like "If my career has really come to modeling mommy mumus, then I am firing my agent, post haste!" Worst.

Tuesday Shoesday

Yay! Shoes! A subject that needs absolutely NO introduction. But if I were to summarize, I'd say... flats, skimmers, a whole lotta Seychelles and a few out of seasons. So let's step to it, eh?



($65, Nicole, Lulusfashionlounge.com)
Perfect height (I HATE the super stacked platform wedges, for me at least), fantastic neutral, and non-nauseating use of snakeskin!



($62, Seychelles, Lulusfashionlounge.com)
The Seychelles Barefoot in the Park is one of the few shoes I've ever discovered that I want to buy in every color. Case in point:



($69, Seychelles, Solestruck.com)



($68, Seychelles, Kitson.com)
Tee hee! More Seychelles! These would be named: Always A Lady


($32, Charles David, Delias.com)
Cute AND a steal!



($79, Seychelles, Solestruck.com)
I couldn't resist! More yellow! More Seychelles! More cutes!



($29, eBay)
I sorta liked the fun Florida bubbe colors here, until I realized they're also EYELET! NOOOOOOOOO!



($58, Exchange By Charles David, Zappos)
As I've previously posted, I am NOT a flip-flop fan. But... I sorta like the preppiness of these Charles David flops.



($174, Miss Sixty, Shoebungalow.com)
Great in theory, probably a hot mess in practice.



($99, Via Spiga, SmartBargains.com)
Ditto.



($107, Exchange By Charles David, Zappos.com)
Absolutely no clue why I like these. Actually, I'm not even sure I do.



($79, Seychelles, Solestruck.com)
Want want want want.



($69, Seychelles, Solestruck.com)
OMG. Madonna shoes. WANT! I totally had jelly shoes of this variety when I was a wee one. Oh man I want I want I want. I understand that with such great power comes great responsibility. I promise to use that power for good and not evil (evil being pairing with leggings like these.
Or these.



And finally, something I most decidedly DO NOT want:

($249, Roberto Cavalli, eBay)
Mine eyes!!!!!

Totally Cute Beige Rosette Heels!

I have many a wedding coming up, and at first, I was looking for some beige rosette heels to wear in the wedding I'm in at the end of this month. I ended up going with some vintage gold heels instead, but check out these great Seychelles "Dinner Is Served" satin rosette heels in beige and black.

($84, Seychelles, Zappos.com)

The question isn't what WILL these go with but what WON'T they go with? And usually I'm not a proponent of silk shoes due to their high propensity towards getting completely ruined, but for a wedding they can be perfs, especially in a natural color like beige, or in a deep rich blue or magenta or purple. Yay, fun, cool bridal stuff!
