Hello Lover...

I'd like to start this by stating that I'm not big on logos. At all. I feel that clothes should speak for themselves, and that it shouldn't take a splashy logo on things to signify how much it cost, or how great the piece is (exception - Chanel). One item that has become ubiquitous with college campuses and citys alike is Tory Burch Reva flat. They aren't my favorite flat by far...especially since they're SO highly recognizable. But...Miss Burch has turned out a shoe that has made me fall in love. Behold - the Tory Burch Jude Pump:


From the front, we have your standard, everyday black patent pump (abet some interesting design detail at the platform). But from the back...

WahBANG! Talk about a sexy detail. It's like a mullet shoe! Simple and classic in the front, party in the back. Now, how to make this appear in my closet...

Absence makes the heart...

So, basically I've been MIA for about forever. School has taken over my life, as well as the studying that goes along with the school, working, GREs, yada yada. Anywhos, let's discuss my current favorite color of all time - poppy. It's turned into an obsession that has extended to painting the walls of my room this cheery, red/orange gem of a color. It's such a happy hue. I love it combined with neutrals such as tan and cream, and additional pops of color, like sunny yellow, bright pink or turquoise.
