Accessories

This is what I would look like.

Fun side note: I met Kate Spade’s brother-in-law on an airplane heading from SD to KC. He was telling me about his sister-in-law who had this handbag business and I asked for her name and the name of her business was, and he responded “Oh I don’t know if you’d know her. Kate Spade is her name.” My eyes about popped out of my head. I was like, “Um, YEAH I’ve heard of her! I don’t think there is a girl in the US that hasn’t!” Another, even cooler side note: Ms. Spade is a Kansas City girl, born and raised! And even though she went to school in Kansas, she still has my respect.

I love love LOVE the whole sock-sticking-out-of-the-top-of-my-boots look. Like this:

Love the boots? Thanks to Kassie, we know that they are Ash Destroyer Boots from Free People. Find them here!

I have some pretty tall socks, but I don’t think any of them could pull this look off. So, that’s why I think I need these:

There is just so much going on in each pair. Yes, I believe I *need* two of each color. If your feets are like mine and they think they need a pair too, you can purchase them here!

Belts, that is! I love love looooooove skinny belts. I have like, two, but I wish I had ALL of THESE:

*Note: Click the image to go to Polyvore, where you can see where each belt is from.

Me thinks they are the perfect accessory, especially for dresses. I usually wear them around my waist, though I do have a green one from Anthro that is meant for the hips. I love them all, almost equally. Actually, that’s a lie – I have a double wrap, studded brown belt that I totally overwear….I’m surprised it hasn’t fallen apart by now.

Are you a fan of the skinny belt? What does your favorite one look like?

A couple days ago a pal of mine tweeted back and forth with me about affordable wedges. She mentioned liking the “closed toe pump-looking variety”, and I have to say I agree – those are my favorites (even though they are not the easiest to find with the summer months fast approaching…or…wait, are they already here?)!

Here are a few options that I love! They are all under $100, which I wouldn’t necessarily call cheap…but finding closed toe wedges at my usual affordable spots was somewhat difficult (see paragraph above). Although, if you’re going to spend a few bucks on a pair of wedges, I think these would transition between the seasons quite nicely (always a good reason to splurge, right?!)

Do you have a great pair of wedges, pump-like or other? Where are your favorite places to shop for shoes? Do tell!!
