Chloe Amour..

..has me deeply swooning over Chloe's 2011 Spring collection! It is the epitome of minimalistic delight. A visual palette of clean and concise excitement laced with whispers of feminine. The collection is such a sweet compositon ..it's become an inspiration for the rest of my Summer shopping. Need I say more with these cream and beige leather dresses punctuated with burgundy leather strapped sandals ...faint!



Softly popped with sea-foam green ..these sumptuous metallic tones in satin ..travel all the way north to the shoes ..sigh!



...there's also beige silk with black leather and the cream blouse paired with a floral in bronze satin skirt ..why? ..it practically compels one to break out an Aria ..simply LOVE the looks!

Quintessence of Taupe

...in my delicious Corey Lynn Caulter ..silk-chiffon with black sequins top, I recently got from Gilt. As of late ....I've been enamored with most things taupe..



....and what's more fascinating is pairing taupe with olive green ....so, I found and got this striking 'Big cab cocktail ring' at Grayce by Molly Sims ...it is big..bold and ridiculously beautiful!

Sassy Skips..

..in Chie Mihara's 'Kaida'. I just adore my pair of Kaidas ...which I even got for a steal at Bergdorfs. When I first came upon ruffle-adorned shoes, I barely gave them a second thought ....then in late Spring, acquired a pair of black patent 2inch slides decorated with fine ruffles ....and my affliction was born.



...what's even more delicious are its 3inch Louis meets Chie M cone heels.



The "sass" factor for these shoes really pop when I wear them as a 'whisper of vintage-inspired' against a solid or clean-lined ..even contempo outfit. I swear, the moment I put them on ...there's almost a sudden inclination to skip, jump and click my heels.
