More Kate Spade!!

I ended up getting the FLICKER TENLEY in Wheatgrass and the WELLESLEY KINGSTON in Peacock, courtesy of my very wonderful guy. I am going to be swimming in Kate Spade purses very soon!!

FLICKER TENLEY

I wanted this one because it would make a great little traveling and vacationing purse. Small enough to not be bothersome, yet just large enough to hold the essentials. Love the green color, too!

WELLESLEY KINGSTON

I was pretty torn between this and the RACHELLE. Though I did end up getting the RACHELLE for myself (because I loved its classic, feminine shape), I convinced myself that I also needed the KINGSTON because it holds a lot more and would be perfect for a school bag. I'm so glad I was able to get both of them!

Can't wait for all my lovely bags to get here!

Studs, Lace, and Cece L'Amour!

Okay, you are probably sick of hearing about Shoedazzle by now - but I am just too darn addicted. I hope this is it for a while, but I know better...

Eleanor, in Black (also available in Coral)

Vivianna, in Red (also available in Black)

Jirina (Signature Collection)

Kokomo, in White (also available in Blue and Brown)

I was so hesitant to shop at monthly subscription sites like Shoedazzle and Justfab initially, but now I love it! The quality is pretty decent for the price, and I have not had any major disappointments so far. I have only returned a few things, and that was only to trade up for something I liked better, or sizing issues. If you have never shopped at either of these sites before, check them out!

Oh, and I had placed some items on my Justfab wait list, and a few of the things I really wanted were set to auto purchase, so now these are coming my way as well:

Mount Rushmore, in Black
I already own this style in Orange and love it. Great size and looks more expensive than $40!!

I also bought these a while back but completely forgot about posting them until I ended up wearing them today! My first pair of Cece L'Amour shoes! Visit Shoe Girl's Blog, she is the creator and designer for the line, as well as a few others.


I ordered these from Zappos, so I got them the day after I ordered them - I LOVE THAT! They fit true to size in length, but they are a bit too narrow in the toes for me and dig into my foot a little (my feet are slightly wide, so this may not apply to you). I don't know if the fabric will stretch with wear since they are not leather, but I am hoping they become more comfortable! I didn't have the heart to return them since they are so adorable...

Remember these??



I will sadly be returning them. They are not the correct style. Once I received them in person, I realized that the heel shape is much different from my other three pairs of DEJAVU pumps. My guess is that they are actually the BABYLONN. Not sure what happened there, Steve Madden!! The BABYLONN retails for $30 less than the DEJAVU. Is this an honest mistake, or a case of false advertising and/or money-grubbing?? Not sure.
