Spotted... Enid making some purchases....
I want this top in every color but I started with the white one. I bought this one at New York & Co.

Joe's jeans are so comfortable and they fit me well= win/win situation.

Colorful heels for Spring. I can't do black shoes when it's nice and sunny outside.

Any Feedback??

Are we going back to Chopines?
I went to Toronto on April 3rd and visited the Bata Museum. I thought these shoes were quite insane, they were called Chopines (details below).

Shoes, Swedish, 17th century, on loan from Skokloster Castle, Sweden
The architecture of this shoe is highly idiosyncratic. The shoemaker made a sole by combining elements of a chopine with a high heel and he made an upper that combines a shoe and a mule. It seems that the shoemaker was attempting to merge the extreme elevation offered by the chopine with the up-to-the-minute fashion of high heels. The resultant shoes are a remarkable statement of ostentatious display.

Here's another one...

Italian, 1580-1620, Bata Shoe Museum, Toronto, Canada
This pair of velvet covered chopines embellished with lace, ruching and tassels were clearly never intended to be worn as overshoes but instead were items of luxury in the wardrobe of an upper-class woman.

Now!!!
Don't the shoes below seem to be inspired by chopines (aka impossible to wear fashionable shoes)?

I thought is was an interesting observation....

I just received an email from Piperlime.com regarding these new trend in sandals. In the email they called them Cuffed Sandals and on the website they are called The New Gladiators.

To be honest with you, I think they look super cute, but I just don't understand them. Why would I choose to wrap my ankles? It feels wrong to wrap my ankles with leather or anything in the Summer. It just doesn't make sense.

It looks constricting... and it kinda looks like a straight jacket situation... Doesn't it?
But, I see everyone wearing them. What do you all think?

This top from Club Monaco reminds me of 2 very different and distinct things.

1. It reminds me of the movie The Devil Wears Prada at the Runway meeting over the April issue when an Editor suggests Florals...LOL

"EDITOR: Well... they're showing a lot of florals right now, so I was thinking...
MIRANDA PRIESTLY: Florals? For spring? Ground breaking. "

Now, every time I see florals or anyone mentions florals for Spring, I always think about that scene.
2. and the Ralph Lauren Spring 2008 collection, when the florals were paired with leather or black. It looked so fresh and so new. I looks unexpectedly cute cute.

In conclusion, I love this top as well as the complete Club Monaco floral collection for this 2010 Spring/Summer and will definitely pair them with black.
Hopefully, no one will tell me. Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking! LOL

Stripes is all the rage for this Summer 2010. I love stripes and they have never left my closet which means business as usual. Have a wonderful weekend, you all... I wish I was on this yacht right now, but I'm over here living the concrete jungle life...it'll do for now!!
