How Do I Wear This? Pt.1: Blue Heels

Here's one item that we love:

Maria Sharapova for Cole Haan

And here's how to wear it:




These heels are actually quite versatile because they can be dressed up or dressed down.

We especially love blue and gray together. Keira's dress would be a perfect example of how to dress the heels up and wear them to a fancy event.

















Mustard is another great color to match with blue.

Olivia Palermo's dress matched with our shoes would be the perfect outfit for a daytime event or even a cocktail party. The heels can be worn with both short or long dresses.

Still not satisfied?
Try wearing them with with black ankle length pants for a very casual look.

Feel the Love

Valentine's Day brought on a buzz of reds and pinks around campus. Here's one of my favorite themed necklaces from Monday.

What is it?
A glass heart necklace

Where's it from?
A boutique in downtown Portland.

What's the story?
This was a gift for my birthday several years ago. I really only wear it once a year, but its perfect for the occasion.

Make a statement!

What is it? Chunky statement necklace

Where's it from? New York City street vendor

What's the story? I came across this during one of my visits to my absolute favorite city. I love bib style necklaces, they can make the simplest outfits unique and interesting!

Rethinking Riding Boots

We like equestrian, but we like the boots even more. Heeled or not, these boots bring the perfect balance of tradition and innovation to any casual ensemble. Check out some of my favorites:

What is it?
Brown riding boots with bottom buckle

Where's it from?
Cole Haan

What's the story?
"I bought these boots for the cold weather, but they are great in the rain too! The leather never stains. I wear them with jeans, leggings, tights... anything goes."








What is it?
Black leather boots with elastic side panels and double top buckles

Where's it from?
Miz Mooz

What's the story?
"I picked these out because the difference in texture was so unique"

Cocktail Time!

No, not happy hour, although the recent rise of available cocktail rings is enough to make anyone happy. These versatile additions are day and night appropriate, making splurging a rather easy justification process.

What is it? Vintage cocktail ring

Where's it from? Flea market I came across while studying abroad in London.

What's the story? I found it while studying abroad in London at one of the stalls in Camden Market. Every time I wear it I'm reminded of all the amazing adventures I experienced while abroad. I wear it every time I feel bored or stuck in a routine and need to remember there is so much more out there left to be experienced!
