Giambattista Valli - Man (or WOman) After My Own Heart (what does that mean anyway?)

My latest dress crush, found on Gilt, designed by someone whose name I cannot even pronounce let alone spell. But I think it is fairy-tail beautiful. 

HOT Pink Dress

So I want a hot pink dress just like Joan's. (Fine, so I admit I want to be Joan. Except for the whole date rape by creepy fiance bit.) Pic Via The Daily Beast, which is way way cool if you don't know that by now.

Susan Boyle's Harper's Bazaar Shoot

Were you as excited as I was to see these photos? I think they did a fantastic job at dressing her up, but keep her looking like herself at the same time. Here are my favorite shots:

And here is my least favorite:


A) She looks better in sleeves
B) It totally emphasizes her midsection - not her greatest asset
C) It makes her bottom half look really small in proportion to her top half.

Flatastic!

I am in desperate need of some everyday flats - desperate as in all mine have holes on the bottom and I'm getting pretty sick of having dirty, dusty feet. Its a classic case of the shoemaker's children have no shoes, except my dad is in real estate and I have shoes, they are just holey. I went to Bloomingdales and spotted these little Chloe babes:

And they're on sale! For the low price of $495! (From $595) So googling Chloe flats I found these:

At the somewhat more affordable $262, 'cept their from the UK so shipping & duties will easily make up any savings.

So here lies the question: Are there any cute, comfy, somewhat affordable flats anywhere to be found in the great land of the U.S. of A.?

Elie Tahari as seen on Zappos.
But refuse to spend $300 on flats. Please tell me if you see them on sale!

I'll Take One of Each, Please!

I love how Valentino's bags manage to mix girly, grown up and elegant into these irresistible little packages. They really are a work of art. Too bad they cost more than most people's monthly rent. Click here if you want to buy me a belated birthday present.
