Monday Morning Good things

Happy Monday! This weekend kept me busy. I worked as a dresser at a Macy's fashion show and started packing for a possible move this summer. Tonight I have tickets to see a baseball game and am looking forward to hanging out with friends. Here are some other good things that are brightening my day:

Flat Sandals

The Silvana sandals from J. Crew scream "Summer!" Made from supple vachetta leather and only $98 a pair, the Silvana could be the perfect summer shoe.

Pleated Skirts

This ASOS Pleated Knitted Skirt is too cute to pass up. My latest obsession is finding the perfect pleated skirt, and I absolutely love this color.

Cookbooks

I find the best cure for boredom is to make something. Baking these yummy treats from BabyCakes is a delicious way to pass a free day.

New Music

Lady Gaga's new album drops today and Amazon is offering the full MP3 album for only $.99!

Lacey Days

I consider lace to be one of the prettiest imitations ever made of the fantasy of nature; lace always evokes for me those incomparable designs which the branches and leaves of trees embroider across the sky, and I do not think that any invention of the human spirit could have a more graceful or precise origin.

-Coco Chanel, April 29, 1939

Enjoy the last few weeks of summer by spending your days in a white lace dress. ASOS is having a great sale right now and is worth perusing. For fall, toughen up your lace dress by paring it with a leather jacket, opaque tights, and ankle boots.

Clogs: 2010

Ever since I saw pics of the footwear from the Chanel and Miu Miu spring collections, I have been wanting a pair of clogs. Unlike the lime green pvc clogs I had when I was thirteen, these new clogs have have a wooden platform and chunky heel. Because I have narrow feet, I am really liking the Harness Leather Clog Slingback from ASOS. The strap will keep the shoes on your feet, so you won't have to resort to the shuffle walk.

What do you think of the new clogs?
