These are the kind of heels you wouldn't want to step in a crack with...

If you've been reading this blog for a little while now, you know that I have a love affair with DC--- one of the reasons is because it was modeled after Paris.  Now, in no way am I saying DC rivals Paris in beauty or art (c'mon, it's PARIS people), but there are certain key structural elements that draw inspiration from the romantic european city--- like these lovely bridges!  Maybe I'm living in a dream world to think such things! Maybe not. Then again, I do run around wearing tiny dresses in the winter time...

Here's a link to one of my favorite clips from the old musical "An American in Paris"-- appropriately set by a bridge :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qszwlDW40_E

Flavor of the Month: Preppy Sorbet

Well, maybe not for a whole month, more like Flavor of the Day :)

Silk top and Mint trousers- Thrifted, Clutch- Aldo, Orange Suede pumps- Cooperative (Via Urban Outfitters), Cuff- DIY from Studio 85

Decided to get all "prepped' out" the other day after being inspired by these wonderful mint green trousers I found while thrifting-- this is a rare occasion! It's nice to change things up every now and then-- especially heel wise (these orange ones are literally more down to earth than my collection of Jeffrey Campbells).  What do you guys think of the DIY cuff from the Studio 85 event on Sunday? I was pleased with the results :)
