New Shoe Alert: Dolce Vita Sandals

Surprise...surprise...Emmy has purchased another pair of new shoes :) This past weekend I bought some new Dolce Vita sandals.  Dolce Vita is one of my favorite shoe brands because they are always so funky yet youthful.  I have been eyeing these specific flats for a couple of months now...the bright neon yellow attracted me right away.  This weekend was my lucky weekend...there was a coupon for $10 off of these shoes!!! Woot Woot! So straight to the mall I went...these will be perfect for my move back to California. They also come in other colors: black, leopard, and denim.  The yellow is my fave though...love bright colors and this yellow looks great on my skin tone.

My New Kicks

I picked up a new pair of Nike Dunks the other day and I am in love.  Not only do I love a good pair of stilettos, but you will also find me sporting a fresh pair of sneaks.  Shoes, if you haven't figured out yet, are my not so secret obsession--that is including shoes of all kinds.  Bright colors also catch my attention when it comes to footware.  The grey with the shiny black are a standout when accented by the electric green color. Love the "checkered" laces too!  Check out the new kicks and you will see my new art for my feet :)

Weekend Walk

Today I was able to make it down to Seattle to the Green Lake area.  All these years that I have lived in the area, I have never walked around the loop.  The Green Lake loop, 2.8 miles around, was crowed with people from all walks of life on what was a beautiful Pacific Northwest Spring day.  In all, it took me about 45 minutes to get all the way around--so it was a nice leisurely walk.

While I was cruising around the lake, I was noticing all the different types of fashion statements people were making while enjoying their Saturday. It was easy to spot what were the three top fashion accessories: dogs, babies, and cups of coffee( the coffee is a clear sign of Seattle living). I didn't have any of the three "accessories"--so I was pretty unfashionable today ;)  although I thought I looked pretty stylish dressed in my lululemon gear.  Most other people were not dressed to impress on the trail, but were dressed more functionally for the area they live.  This would hardly be the case in Los Angeles and it was a good break from that mentality.

After the lake, I stopped by Nordstroms to return a pair of amazing heels (not the point) and it took all of my strength to not make any new purchases.  There were some amazing shoes that were calling my name.   The shoe on the left is a Sam Edelman and the shoe on the right is a Steve Madden. I absolutely love Sam Edelman flats, but these wedges (which are very in for the spring by the way) are so hot! Nice job Sam! And then I am always a sucker for any Steve Madden heels really.  The platform on these shoes make them    pretty comfortable, while being stylish all in one.  I'm still into the "hardware" on shoes as well and both of these fit into that category. Like I said though, I was good and did not make any purchases....TODAY! hehehe

Got My Vans on...


The "action sport" or alternative lifestyle brands have really been stepping up their game when it comes to the fashion world.  Brands like Roxy by Quicksilver, Hurley, and now Vans have created boutique lines for the more fashionable consumer.  Check out this limited edition shoes (courtesy of whowhatwear.com) they have for Spring 2010! Also here is the link to their website if you want to explore more of the line: Vans.com  My favorite is the LUXE Lesley Pointy-Toe Flat.
