Happy Friday you all!
You might notice from above. That I finally. Got. THE SHOES.
I deliberated forever and finally realized I couldn’t go on without them. So I clicked buy on these Mariana by GOLC babies without looking back.
And then they didn’t show up.
UPS seems to have gotten a little confused while delivering them. I found them two days after I received notice that they had “been delivered” …two doors down on the steps to a laundry room.
Clearly my address is a laundry room.
But no matter, I have them now and adore them! I paired them with an ancient linen skirt from Old Navy and a plain white tank from H&M, plus my trusty J Crew pearls.
I also must give props to the customer service team at Endless Shoes. They offered to send me a new pair before we were even sure that they were lost. Problem was I had ordered the last ones in my size…!
Now on a different note, I have a question.
I know I have too many clothes. It’s not even that I’m a total excessive shopper (just a bit of one), it’s more that I just hate getting rid of pieces (because, like that Old Navy skirt, sometimes I find great uses for them much later!). But how do celebrities and stylists, who have more clothing than I’m sure they know what to to with, do it? I guess their Hollywood Hills homes are equipped with oversized walk-in closets, but how do they pack during moves? Because I am in the midst of moving out of my apartment and I am at a total loss as to a) how to organize my packing without needing a truck just for dresses and b) where I am going to put it all when I get to my new place with a much smaller closet…
Any advice??
Goodness gracious, those shoes are divine!
The colour is so wonderfully striking!
Lots of love from Sydney,

Love, love the shoes! I too will be moving soon and I’m terrified to even start packing clothes, and shoes, and bags… Last time I moved I got the space saver bags and it worked pretty well.
Those shoes are AMAZING! As for the packing, I actually love getting rid of things so I have to stop myself sometimes. The one thing I always do make sure I can take one of my pieces and make at least three outfits with it. If I can’t and it has no significant meaning, I donate it. As for packing, rolling items is you best bet as well as using clothing instead of bubble wrap for breakable items. Also, check out The Container Store. They have so many great ideas when it comes to storage. I use it all the time.
That’s actually a great rule that you need to be able to make three outfits out of it! I’ll keep that in mind when I do my next sweep, thanks very much!
Store stuff at your parents house, duh : )
LOVE the green shoes! so sweet! I’d say my best advice for packing and moving and keeping track of clothes is to think about when the last time you wore that piece. If it’s been more than a year, chances are you aren’t going to wear it again…
SO excited to see you at rendez-vous: new england! I can’t wait to meet you and put a face with the blog 😉 happy weekend! and good luck packing! xoxo {av}
Oh my gosh that outfit is adorable!! And those shoes are to die for… seriously, can we just talk about them for a minute? 🙂 Good call on getting them!
Also, I, too am a fan of storing stuff a la casa de parents, however this can make it hard to access at times… Because of this tactic I now have about 50 pairs of shoes I haven’t seen in over a year! 🙁 So sad…
And finally, I’m so excited to see you @ rendez-vous NE, too! I just found out about it and am excited to meet other bloggers from around here!!

I love those shoes! You’ll be glad you splurged, especially since it’s terrible knowing you missed out on something in hopes of saving $20.
Thanks for stopping by Cardigan Junkie!
The shoes look lovely paired with your outfit. I would have to agree with the previous comment in terms of packing. Bubble wrap is your best friend and storage units are great resources.
good luck with the move – i am the worst mover so no tips. but i turned one of our 1/2 bedrooms into a closet so id have enough space.
Oh my gosh, you are just absolutely adorable! I LOVE these shoes and will be looking into them further… they are the perfect colour. Cute blog!!
