I cannot believe tomorrow is the first day of April! I probably say that sort of thing every month, but man oh man did March fly by quicker than ever this year. Now it’s time to tackle some April showers in prep for May flowers… linking up with {long distance loving}‘s Friday’s Fancies!

Short Trench, Burberry, $929
Ruth Polka Dot Cotton Top, Tory Burch, $225
Charming Accents Pleated Skirt,  Ruche, $36
Liberton Side Bag, Jack Wills, $40
Evedon Wellies, Joules, $105

Hey if it’s gonna rain, might as well plop through the dreary puddles in style.

Let’s Fly Away

On this fine Friday’s Fancies, we’ve got dream destinations on our mind. Surprisingly enough, despite Boston’s chilly and rainy weather outside, I’m not fantasizing about a tropical location, but instead a city just about as weather-dreary as the one I’m already in…

I don’t care what the temperature is over there, I’m itching to go. Have been ever since I first visited three years ago. And what would I wear to my dream destination?

Drybrook Dress, Jack Wills, $138
Cross-Continent Weekender, Anthropologie, $178
Oxfords, Born, $95
Sunglasses, Burberry, $230
Midnight in London Necklace, ModCloth, $20
Sweet Zinnia Ring, Kate Spade, $98 

I’ve got my fingers cross for a chance to get back there soon. For now though, I’m just as happy having that Cross-Continent Weekender on this side of the Atlantic [thanks Mom!] 🙂

And for any of you like me who aren’t jet-setting anywhere out of their own city anytime soon, you must check out urbantag! It’s a new foursquare-esqu interactive site that allows you to map out your favorite places to shop, eat, play, etc. for others to see. If you’re Boston-based, check out my map of where to look your loveliest in my lovely city.

Halloweek

In honor of Halloween in less than a week, I thought today’s Tuesday Shoesday needed a little spirited tint of orange…

1 — 2 — 3 — 4 — 5 — 6

Are you all excited for Halloween yet??

Zippity Shoe Da, Zappos… Couture?

Forgive me if I’m totally behind in reporting this, I understand I’m probably the last to realize.

So I knew that Zappos sold a number of luxury-esque brands, Kate Spade, Burberry, even some Jimmy Choos here and there.  But I wasn’t aware until recently that they had a whole separate Zappos Couture website!

I’m not justifying spending $600 on a pair of wedges, but you’ve got to admit they’re fun to lust over, right??

I love you, you, you, you, you, and most definitely you.

G-l-a-m-o-r-ous…….
