Cheap and Chic - Colin Stuart Wrapped Platform Sandals

I even remember the day I first saw the Fendi Tulle Embellished Sandals. My mouth was wide open and I could imagine myself in them, twirling in front of the mirror with a huge grin on my face and with heart breaking music playing in the background. My idea of romance.

But that's about 1,195 dollars worth of a dream. That's what I call a pipe dream. So you can imagine my surprise when I saw an almost carbon copy of them on the Victoria's Secret website, on a random Saturday window browsing. I had to make a post. It is actually my duty to share the wisdom with fashion lovers everywhere. The amazing wrapped fabric and the clear platform are there, of course in less of a quality but what do you want for a 10% of the price (the original Fendi sandals are on discount on net-a-porter for $836) as the copies are only, get ready for this, $88. I have to say that as much as I hate to buy shoes online, this will be my only exception after my check next week. I have a goal. Join me. Any suggestions on the color I should take?

Beats: Katy B - Louder

This British girl-extraordinaire has been releasing some amazing songs that I just can't stop listening to. The beat is the kind that takes you over. Whenever you are feeling run down with work, responsibilities, and the gloomy day to day routine, just play this song, pick yourself up, put make up on, have a margarita and run through the door for a little pick-me-up and well deserved party time. I sure need these inspiring words in my loving NYC.

There's always somewhere new to go
And I can never say no, say no (say no)
I have been awake for a day now
24 hours yet still I want it louder
Darkness can't get me to sleep yet,
I'm not that weak yet, I just want it louder
Louder, Louder ........

<3 you Katy B

New York Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week - Fall 2011

I don't want to fall behind, so I am posting a quick post as a summary of the first day.

As usual, we can expect lots of black, and different grays in the pallete for fall, but what was surprising were the pops of orange, red, and blues. I have to say that I am not so much into grunge this season, so I was very subjective and picked all the womanly pieces. Expect high wasted belted wide legged pants, which I can not wear without heels, and they are just better for the daily chic. However, that doesn't stop me from admiring the long legged beauties that can pull them off.
