Lela Rose Pencil Skirt

Updated Jul 22, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

I have massive amounts of love for this skirt, it's in that dark navy and white color scheme that is dark enough it can be worn when it's not summer. It has a high waist and navy patent leather belt (shiny!). Plus it looks like it's a great length for work or wherever. It's magnificent.

Arturo Chiang Marcia Spectators

Description

These shiny shiny patent spectators are spectacular! I love the little bow, the contrasting black and grey and the lowish heel (hey 2 inches means they can go everywhere!). They look like they'd look great with pants or with a skirt, a fall staple perhaps?

Lately Flat

Updated Jun 17, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

When I look at these shoes I see Audrey Hepburn for some reason. I'm not sure why, but they just seem to have that certain flare that she had. Maybe it's the red patent snake skin. Maybe it's the slightly impish feeling? Maybe it's the cute little buckle? I don't know. Any way you slice it I think they are the kind of shoes that need to come home with me (plus they are on sale!)

Tory Burch Patent Tory Tote Yellow & Turquoise

Updated Mar 16, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Oh, my goodness. You always need a nice big tote in the summer. A tote for the beach, or a tote for the market or just a tote to hold whatever you need. And this tote with it's summer-y yellow goodness and bright turquoise strap is so sunshine-y and happy.

Enzo Angiolini 'Emma' Sandal

Updated Mar 16, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

I love the wedge and I love how every summer the wedge is there (thank you fashionistas!). Because the wedge makes sure that you have a bit more stablity when you are at picnic, on the beach, or just out for a stroll. Toss in a bit of shiny yellow and cork and you have a shoe that allows you to be comfortable and take advantage of the yellow trend in a subtle way.

Jean-Michel Cazabat - Patent Pumps

Updated Mar 9, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Elvis might love his blue suede shoes, but I'm a bit bigger fan of blue patent leather shoes. These deep blue patent leather pumps are just the pick me up a basic work day wardrobe needs! With a good solid heel and comfortable fit, you won't need to worry about being comfortable through those all day meetings, just sexy.

Patent Pink Rose Round Ballet Ombre Flats

Updated Mar 8, 2008

Description

Ombre should have to be restricted to dresses and skirts though! It's just as fun in shoes. These patent pink ballet flats would be perfect for kicking around town and would add a bit of interest to your outfit.

Women's MARA SLIDE Shoes

Updated Feb 25, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Black slides like this are indispensable to my summer wardrobe. The last pair I had the dog chewed up, but I have better hope for this next pair. After all one doesn't let a dog chew up Cole Haans. With their solid wedge and shiny patent criss crossing straps these shoes provide the extra stability needed to tromp around on the spring ground.

Jimmy Choo Loren patent pumps

Updated Feb 4, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

My shoe closet explodes with black shoes, black ballet flats, black slingbacks, black pumps, black boots. Black pumps are the quintessential wardrobe accessory! And these black pumps have the Jimmy Choo seal of excellence (so to say). I love the tiny little gold ring at the toe and the slightly high heel. Perhaps 100mm isn't comfortable walking heel height, but they are perfect for slight jaunts around the office.

Anya Hindmarch Shirley patent tote

Updated Feb 4, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

What is it about large handbags that make them so appealing? Is it the ease with which they fit our life into them? Is it the almost dwarfing air about them? Is it the handles that mean they are always carried and never slung over the shoulder? Whatever it is, I love the large handbags of the world. I love the handbags that look like they should belong to "the ladies who lunch". And this patent Anya Hindmarch handbag definitely fits in this category. Shiny black, gold accent hardware and it's just oh, so cute

Kate Spade black patent leather 'Salma' Mary Jane pumps

Updated Jan 28, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Kate Spade, I love you. Some days you go a little crazy, but most days you are the picture of preppy perfection. These Mary Janes are a little bit more grown up. Same cut of a shoe, but slimmer and with a little extra height. Black and shiny patent means they'll shine their way through the days and maybe even shimmer a tiny bit on a weekend night.

Elie Tahari black brushed wool 'Jane' patent belt coat

Updated Jan 28, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Military coats have always impressed me slightly. I like a good collar, a thick belt and those rows of buttons. Done up in black and with a little bit of patent. Feel like a colonel...of style. It's perfect for marching out the last bits of winter

Prada fuchsia patent leather classic pumps

Updated Jan 28, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

I still remember when that Aqua song came out, you know the one. As much as I wished I could say my strong woman self was up in arms about the objectification of women, but even in my innocent high school fervor I couldn't. I found it catchy!

And now the shoes, these beautiful pink plastic (well patent) Prada pumps come. The heel is significantly high while still being low enough for daily wear (unlike my last sky high pair of pink patent heels). The pink is an amazingly bright (so barbie girl!) pink. Life in plastic, it's fantastic.

Kate Spade camel patent 'Gala' slingbacks

Updated Jan 27, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

The best part of about spring is the lack of snow on the sidewalks. I love snow and all of the associated snow related activities, but, it's murder on my shoes. My pretty suede boots get bent out of shape and my peep toed pumps gets my toes all wet. In eager anticipation of spring, these peep toes patent camel and black pumps can't wait to clack on the pavement. In addition to adoring the colors (camel and black, you match so much of my wardrobe), the slingback and almost kitten heeled nature of these shoes makes me look out the winter and fervently wish that the snow on those sidewalks would melt.

Yoana Baraschi black stretch knit 'Dina' patent trim skirt

Updated Jan 27, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

When I as a young girl, I used to love watching my mother get ready to go to work. She always looked so professional. Suit skirts, starched shirts and a nice jacket...to a five year old it all seemed so glamourous. Now that casual Friday has crept into corporate culture, you don't see as many skirts as I used to. None the less, I still like to find a nice skirt to wear for work or, just around. This black knee length skirt looks like it would sit at that perfect length and would look professional in either the work world or in daily life. Plus the little hint of patent makes it slightly more than just my mother's wardrobe.

Dolce & Gabbana ivory quilted patent peep toe pumps

Updated Jan 27, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Quilted barn jackets, quilted vests, quilted purses....is there anything that quilting doesn't make better? These quilted pumps from Dolce & Gabbana make me realize shoes are just another logical step in the "what-can-quilted-make-better" contest. These peep toe ivory quilted pumps with a silver buckle and silver rivets scream that they would be ready for a casual day or a nice Sunday brunch.

Elie Tahari black patent leather 'Kristy' short swing coat

Updated Jan 27, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

When I was in college we had this vintage dance, now I never particularly got along with my roommate, but she did have this fantastic closet. It was stuffed with finds from the local vintage store and one of my favorite pieces that she had was glorious full length swing coat. I've had a weakness for swing coats ever since. And this patent swing raincoat is no exception. Three-quarter sleeves and my favorite type of cut combine to make a glorious raincoat that will be perfect for the soon to come winter days.

Gucci black patent 'Shield' ankle boots

Updated Jan 27, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

These boots were made for walking and that's jut what I'll do....walk all over life. There is something about late winter that makes me want to bust out my boots. And these black, shiny patent leather boots with a phenomenal stiletto heel are perfect for walking. I enjoy the little gold medallion on the side and the discreet gold rivet on the back of the heel. I'm thinking over a darker than midnight denim skinny jean.

There is something about Chanel Vamp that makes you feel special. It's deep red almost brown/black color is magnificent. So imagine my happy surprise when I saw this burberry patent wristlet. It's almost in Chanel vamp. It's shiny, it's quilted, it's so dark red and it has that hint of silver. Makes me want to take notice.

Burberry Prorsum Ruched Trench

Updated Jan 25, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Ruffles! Patent! Black! Burberry! This trench coat is so pretty, I think I might want to make it a dress...though it would do wonderfully as a trench coat too. It has seemingly miles and miles of ruffled silk and is cinched by a broad band of patent. A trench like this deserves to shine. Perfect for a night out over that "oh-so-short" minidress.

Yoana Baraschi black jersey patent detail 'Avengers' dress

Updated Jan 24, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

A vintage inspired collar, cap sleeves, smock pockets--it's a cute little dress. I think it would look smashing over a pair of dark jeans and paired with black ballet flats. The patent detailing ties in with one of my favorite trends of the season. I kind of want to wrap myself up in this dress for a casual weekend scouting wear.

Steven Lady Patent Hobo (Navy Patent) - Hobo

Updated Jan 24, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Shiny navy patent with a gold buckle. I'd call it nautical, if the sailors were in an alternate variety show. But none the less the navy patent screams spring and the gold buckle makes me thing it would transition into summer well! I adore the hobo styling and the casual way it can be swung over your shoulder.

Patent Bomber

Description

Shiny, shiny, shiny. Feeling like a bad girl this season? This patent bomber jacket with a pair of big shades will do the trick. The shiny black patent is so hot. hot. hot. And the cut of the jacket is just too cute. The above the hip cut and fitted body mean it'll avoid that wrapped in a shiny sack quality that some jackets seem to embody.

Dear Diary,

Today I saw the shinest diary of all! It was pink and had a padlock and brought me back to my diary days of yore.

I felt like I could write and write and express everything in you.

Best of all it's by Juicy so it has that certain je ne sais quoi that Juicy always brings.
