oooh cecilia (shoes by ralph lauren)

can't waaaaait to wear my new ralph lauren cecilia wedges that arrived this week. i saw the orange ones on a really fab looking girl at sex and the city 2 last weekend and instantly put them on my must-have list. the 3-inch heel is a great height for traipsing around the city or wearing to work with shorts or a sundress. i ordered them in both orange and cream (shhh don't tell nick).

ps. don't they totally remind you of shoes your mom wore in the 80s? something about that makes me LOVE even more!

available in cream, orange, brown, black linen, white eyelet, black eyelet, bright multi plaid and neutral multi-plaid ($63-$79)

simple stripes for spring

ok so it's not exactly spring for most of you...but i think it will be spring for us here in texas pretty soon! in my excitement for the season, i've been digging the concept of sailory osh kosh stripes jazzed up with a tiny little detail to make them a little less popeye and a little more flirty feminine.
