ive been getting a lot of compliments on my sergio rossi peep toe pumps lately, so i was ecstatic when i found an identical pair by steve madden for a fraction of the price! what a bargain! you dont have to break the bank to get this sophisticated, sleek look afterall.

one of my favorite childhood memories was going to granville island with my mom. not only did we pick up fresh fruits and baguettes from the farmers market, but we fed the ducks as we sat on the dock by the water. things were much simpler then. what i would give to go back to those days, oh well...this will have to do for now.

ive been in search of black, high waisted, wide leg trousers for quite some time now. its been extremely hard because i'm allergic to wool and a lot of amazing trousers are made out of wool or cashmere. imagine how ecstatic i was when i found these beauties at mango...on sale! they were $25 and had everything i was looking for in a pair of trousers-pockets, cuffs, structure and a nice weight. i love the timeless cut and structured lines of these trousers and find it extremely empowering to wear. ive nicknamed them my power pants. i also love how versatile they can be. they can be dressed up or worn casual with a silk neutral blouse and some tan wedges for spring.
