‘Pure’ Nude But Not Nekkid

‘Pure’ Nude But Not Nekkid

8858545654?profile=original

One of my most favorite new Spring trends is the nude shoe.  It’s the perfect solution to those outfits that you either can’t figure out which shoe color to commit to for an outfit or when the outfit needs to be the statement piece so that you can pull it off in a sophisticated way for the office.  And one of the sexiest way to be nude but not “nekkid” is the ‘Pure’ pump from Charles David.

‘Satchel’ Obsession

In seeing all the fashion queens work the incredible flat boots all Winter, I just had to find me a pair before the season was over.  And lucky me, I was able to snag this pair of Corso Como ‘Satchel’ knee high boots from the Daily Candy Swirl sale.  As you may remember, I literally fell head over heels for the Corso Como brand in ‘My Farrow Ladies’ post.  And I can tell you that these boots left me with the same

Being the city girl that I am, I take every opportunity to go to my favorite city in the US, New York every chance I can.  And this week, tomorrow in fact, is the Lucky Magazine FABB conference which I am over the moon to be attending along with the IFB conference later in the week.  And being the shopaholic designer fashion freak that I am, I make a trek to my favorite jewel in the City, Century 21, with hopes to

You Can Call Me ‘Prissy’

For images: http://www.theworkinggirlsshoecloset.com/2011/01/you-can-call-me-prissy.htmlIt’s winter. Most of the country is buried in snow. BUT, if you’re fortunate to live in California, or even LA, it’s quite lovely with the sun warming us in the mid to high 70’s as of late. And as such, we can shed our boots, at least momentarily, for some fabulous pumps! I saw these L.A.M.B. ‘Prissy’ pumps a few months ago and oogled over them until I saw they were $275 - $300. A short time later, I caught t

Vicky ‘Cristina’ Barcelona

It was time to for me to replace my classic black high heeled boots.  It is always such a dreaded chore to hunt for those fantastically classic black boots that can go from work to play to what happens after play. ;)  It also just so happened that one of my readers was asking for help finding a great pair of boots.  So, in searching for her (and me) I came across these ‘Cristina’ black platform boots and literally swooned.

New Year, New Job, New Kicks!

LAMB.Leisure.both.jpg

The start of a new year inspires us to think about what we want from ourselves and our lives.  We think about where we want to be and how we need to get there.  Usually, that means getting a new gig.  And to land that new gig, you’re gonna need to rock that interview.  Now, while most offices have evolved into a more business casual environment, interviews are still the place where you’d rather be a little overdressed than underdressed.  And while you’re dusting off your resume and getting that

Courting with Italian Style

Well now that everyone in Southern California is growing gills from all the rain, we have successfully embraced our beloved boots.  However, being that finding the “right” boot is such a challenge, almost to the point of dreading it as much as cleaning the bathroom.  I think I truly gasped out loud when I saw these on my fellow juror last week.  I was rather excited to be picked for a jury and even more excited to meet this truly fabulous woman on my jury.  She first caught my eye while sitting

My 'Farrow' Ladies!

My ‘Farrow’ Ladies!

It’s been a flurry of deliveries from my version of Santa Claus aka The UPS Delivery Man with all of my fantastic Black Friday and Cyper everything sales. Some were major misses unfortunately but some were definite hits, including this DIVINEFarrow’ from Corso Como. I haven’t found a flat like this one. E.V.E.R. I took several risks with the fantastic sales with new brands I hadn’t hear of and brands I’ve never tried. Corso Como was one of them. I had seen them in InStyle la

Work Attire - Power Sweaters

Yes the 80's are back with those padded shoulders and power suits, but in case you've already done that era, a new alternative for work attire is the power sweater. The advantages soft dressing provide over restrictive jackets are obvious. And, you won't look dated!

A less monolithic appearance can still send a powerful message, sometimes more so. Color and graphics make bold statements. Use sweater dressing when you want to be approachable yet make your point. Tailored sweaters with striking in
